Random Friday this and that

so here's a bit of this and that for a lovely Friday afternoon rambling session:

-I've been extra sleepy this week at work due to the new getting up early schedule. I suspect it has to do with still going to bed late...as I'm sure we can all agree there it just not enough time in a day. Still I find myself really wanting to take a nap when I get home and really it's too dang hot outside for the furkids that I probably could, and I really love naps, but instead I take about 1/2 an hour to get them ready to go and embrace the heat.

First the socks and booties, then Josi gets her backpack on, buckled and loaded with water bottles, poop bags and such, then Deezel gets his swamp cooler on (a vest that you get wet, then as the vest dries and the water evaporates it helps him keep cool) so he can hang with the girls. Then collars and leashes, and we're ready. We did all this yesterday only to have it ran about 10 min. into the walk, bummer, so we high-tailed it back home. They both love playing in water (creeks, especially muddy ones, lakes...) but neither of them have a fondness for rain. But I do , I love running in the rain, warm summer rain, not cold winter rain there is a difference.

-Things I like to do-

Going to get groceries, I just like to look and compare everything, I always spend too much though.

Loading the dishwasher, making everything fit just so...don't ask me to empty it though.

Washing clothes, sorting and making piles...I seem to forget about them after they go in the dryer though.

Listening to the O.A.R. cd - Any Time Now; yes I'm late jumping on the bandwagon...but I can't get enough of them. I always knew about the 'that was a crazy game of poker' song, but recently I took a trip and borrowed my brother's ipod, which had the 'Hey Girl' song on it, and now I'm in love, that song just grabbed me, so I downloaded the whole CD and it's been on play for two weeks now, I think I need help...

I went over to Emily's last night, she and Greg had a music meeting, so I watched Jack for a minute or two. We took a walk, but I stayed close to the house because the sky looked like this

I was pretty sure it was going to open up on us, but it didn't and it seems as though the fresh storm air did Jack good, since he slept all the night through last night. Emily has taken to calling me the baby whisperer:)

Yea! the Olympics are here, swimming/diving and gymnastics are my favorites - how about yours?
