Saturday

It's a lazy Saturday, and the weather can't decide whether it wants to be sunny or dark and cloudy. It has decided to be chilly, however...and ridiculously windy. But I suppose that's no excuse. I should probably get Reece out for exercise of some sort today.

Lance doesn't get home until 7:30 this evening. so I have a lot of time to kill. I have linens to launder, carpet to vacuum, and I want to search around for some travel sites that take submissions. Want to start writing articles again, but I want some place to send them. I also need to read. This nonfiction about Elizabeth I and Leicester that I've been reading has been interesting, but slow-going. And I have a lot of good fiction waiting for me.

I still have another movie to watch before I have to take it back to the video store. I watched The Duchess last night and found it very intriguing, even though I wanted to beat the snot out of the Dick Duke of Devonshire. Wow...what an asshole! I didn't really know anything about the Duchess of Devonshire...she's a fascinating woman.

Well, my peaceful morning has just been interrupted by Reece barking and howling at a dog she's hearing somewhere outside. Yikes. Awful little creature. Her howl is obnoxious.

Lance is breakfasting this morning with his best friend who just happened to be in Vegas this week too. What a charming coincidence. And that's why he's coming home so late. Otherwise, he'd already be on a plane here. I think it's cool that he gets to see Marshal. Normally, they only visit once a year.

Anyway, I guess I better get to work on...something. I'm not sure where to start. Guess I should throw some sheets in the washing machine.

(no subject)

Reece and I just came back from the doggie playground at Reber Ranch.

It's inevitable - every time we go there, she winds up with her head and face coated in slobber within 30 seconds. Some of it is her own drool, but most of it comes from other dogs. Today, some giant monster of a thing came up to her and promptly drooled all over her ear, which left behind some nasty red residue that I had to clean off with bath wipes.

And she just had a bath yesterday.

But she had fun and she got exercise. Although I wish she would stop being so mean to the little puppies. She's not much older than they are. Big bully. She kept picking on this 3 month old yellow lab. Sweetest little thing, but at least it had enough moxie to fight back.

After play time, we went into the store so that I could get her a bully stick. One of the employees saw her and took her over to the bulk treats section and just started feeding her treats...I think she had 5 or 6. Reece was just a little bit happy about that. HAHAHA.

There were also the cutest, tiniest Lab pups up for adoption there. They were all sleeping peacefully in their little crate, and Reece went up and started staring at them. The one nearest her woke up and jumped up and started barking at her with these tiny little yaps. Then it lunged at her, which made Reece actually take a step back. I thought it was hilarious.

Anyway, we're home now. I've got about 5 hours to kill until Lance comes home, and nothing really to do. And I'm in pain again today, although this time it's located around my shoulders and not my lower back like earlier in the week. A nap is very tempting right now, although I still have most of my bedding in the dryer, and only clean sheets on the bed, and no blanket.
