Long time no update...

Usually when I haven't posted in a while, it means that I'm having a great time and I don't need to vent. This past hiatus is no exception. However, I missed typing my strange thoughts onto a web page that anyone in the world could view if they so chose, so here I am - once again posting.

That attitude adjustment that I talked about last week has really changed things (or maybe it is that I'm no longer PMSing). I went on a walk yesterday with blondie and my shins didn't hurt so bad that I wanted to chop them off. I'm healed, and it feels fabulous. I can finally look forward to my walks.

This weekend I got to spend tons of time with Taz. We saw THE INTERPRETER and also saw THE LONGEST YARD. Both movies were cute and not really great. We went on a nice long walk where he met up with a girl he went to high school with. The girl had a 12 year old son and he kept cracking us up. He kept putting his entire body up to the tops of his shoulders into his shorts and walking around. He looked like a giant marshmallow. His mom was dying of embarrassment. The woman had a cute chihuahua and I've decided that I want a small dog. I probably won't be able to get one for at least 2 years. For one, I don't want to get kicked out of this apartment (they only take cats - no dogs) and two, I'm never home to take care of a dog. My little canine will have to wait.

I've been mildly productive lately. I've started a new cleaning system (www.flylady.net) and am loving it. My house is (mostly) clean. I have a schedule now of when to take out trash, when to clean Mingle's litterbox, when to water my plants (no more dead plants), and I never have more than one days worth of dishes in the sink. Yesterday I cleaned my mirrors for the first time since I moved into that apartment. I can finally see myself in the mirror. It's such a simple thing to do, it only takes a couple of minutes, and it makes such a difference. I am even keeping track of how much money I spend. Anyway, I'm happy with the new system.

I don't really have much more to say. My sister-in-law is coming to visit next week with my nephew and I get to go on a one day gettaway with Taz for my birthday. I'm greatly looking forward to both. Perhaps I'll update again when something of interest happens.
