Doh!

Okay, I really didn't mean to be gone for this long. Honest, I didn't fall off the face of the earth. I've been feeling like crap lately and my heart just hasn't been in it. I am the queen of procrastination when I just can't face doing something. I do this all the time at work especially, I put off doing stuff because I'm stressed out because I haven't done it yet. Make sense? Its like the overdue library books that are downstairs right now. I know they're overdue, and I don't live that far from the library, but I'm so disappointed in myself for having overdue books that I don't return them. Real logical.

Okay, some good news. There's an addition to my family. No, not that kind of addition - I got a puppy! Actually, he's more like a PUPPY. His name is Drew and he's 85 lbs of big Doberman loving. We're working on the manners, but he's SO adorable. He does this thing where he'll come up to you and just flop his head on your lab - like he's lost all control over his neck muscles - and he just wants to be petted until your hand falls off. Ryan said it best when he described Drew as not being able to tell that his back half is connected to his front half. He doesn't do well going down stairs (way too much momentum), or on tile or hardwood . . .

I can't wait to take him back to my parent's for a weekend. I told my mom about him and all she could say was "he sounds . . . big." My 90 lb mother who has never met an animal that she liked. (evil laugh) This is going to be fun.

The whole family is getting in gear for Mark and Kristin's wedding. I'm thrilled for them, I really am, but I hate the big wedding and all that's going along with it. I got an email 2 days ago from Kristin that said "my sister said that the tailor told her that the dresses have a *slight* sweep in the back, so he's tailoring her's *slightly* longer in the back. Consider this when you get your dress hemmed." Uh, yeah, I'm all over that. Are you kidding me? And the registry only at Macy's, Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware? Since when did having a wedding become synonymous with getting married? Okay, rant over, I feel better.

This is supposed to be the second nice weekend of the year for us, so I think this will be my major workout weekend. Long ride on Saturday and long run on Sunday. I'm trying so hard to get back into things, but I feel like my heart just isn't in it.
