I'm so glad this weekend is over! It's been non-stop... yesterday was a 12-hour day, spent in a sauna that smelled like chlorine. The meet went well, though, and it marked the end of swim season... well, 'til fall practice starts up... so I'm happy.
Because I was still house-sitting for my brother and sister-in-law, Ryan and I trudged back there (40 minutes away) last night, where we tried to stay awake 'til 9pm. At 3:30 (that would be AM), I woke up when my brother's dog (the one who sits like a bear) knocked on my door (I swear). When I stepped out of the bedroom, I was met with... a mess. I'd left a backpack in the living room... a backpack filled with food. Mind you, I left it in a bigger bag, up on a shelf, so I figured it was safe. Ummm... no. No, it was not safe. Ben, the fat scavenger dog, got it off the shelf, out of the bag, unzipped, and he ate everything in it... including wrappers. We're talking granola bars, candy, a whole tub of strawberries, another tub of watermelon. I was not happy. Not happy at all. I was less happy when he woke me again at 6:00 (AM again) for breakfast. Clearly he has a cast iron stomach.
Have I mentioned that I love my dog? I do. I love my dog.
So, I came home today and unloaded the car, cleaned the house, went to the grocery store, walked 3 miles ('cause I couldn't go one more step), washed, dried, folded, and put away 482 towels (including a new one that says, "Life is Simple. Eat. Sleep. Swim."), washed a load of clothes (so my kid doesn't have to wear her bathing suit all day tomorrow... again), made dinner, and finally took a shower. And before I pass out, I figured I'd say hello.

Heh! How funny is it that Ben is so lazy that he has to rest when he gets to the end of the yard, but somehow finds the strength to get a bag from a shelf, open it and eat everything in it. Priorities, I guess...
Hope those 482 towels are somewhere safe, you wouldn't want them to become a dog's dinner.
Wow! Now that's busy! Friggin' dog, you are very patient!
I hate folding towels....482 is a lot! ;)
Hope your week is fantastic!!
Hello!
Wow, seems like a busy weekend.;)) But busy is good.;))
Love the picture, don't we all feel this way at times.;))
xo
did he knock on the door to show you what he had done? or to let you know he needed more food. LOL.
I miss your daily postings and I miss your daily comments! More than you probably realize.
Foraging dogs, chlorine scented saunas, hundreds of towels - glad to see you back in one piece!
Nothing is safe in my house, because of Narnia. Right now, it's eerily quiet and when I yell her name, she doesn't come. I'm afraid to go out there....
Glad your back. I've been away so I'll have to back read a bit to see where you went :-)
Sounds like good training for your 3 day walk!
Oh gosh, can I relate to your day! Hope you survived it. Mine involved an exploding water heater, emergency replacement, multiple drying fans, etc, etc.
Oh yeah, and lots of money. That I don't have.
Uuughh. But at least we are now having 101 degree whether with lots of humidity. Real nice. :)
Which is why, despite being down a few pounds when I weighed this morning, I still went and bought doughnuts for the office! Oh well. :) I figure I'll sweat them off.
