Norm?

Since when is it normal to go shopping at Nordstrom in downtown Portland with your dog?

Granted it was clothed and being toted around in a stroller like a baby but....

its a dog......

oh and the women and her dog matched

grey sweat suits!

Public Things I Do Secretly

3 Things I Always Do When Exiting a Public Restroom (secretly of course)

• Make sure my shirt is in no way tucked into my pants
• Check that my pants are in fact zipped
• Make sure there is nothing stuck to my shoe and trailing behind me

I usually look behind me casually to see if someone is there (allowing my eyes to drop to the back of my shoes) then pull the bottom of my shirt down/straighten it ( to confirm that it is not tucked in) and in doing so I brush by my pants' zipper to ensure that it is closed.

Starburst

Our first pet as a couple has passed away after 3 1/2 years

Our glow fish, Starburst

Step Lightly

Our apartment has become a storage unit of furniture for our future home.

Work Week 6

This week was the most stressful so far.

It had the most projects

the shortest due dates

and no explanation on how to do any of it

On the good side it is Friday tomorrow

On the not so good side, I have one day to finish a lot more projects

Glug glug

I went swimming today.

Some laps went by.

I quit because I felt the lactic acid building in my legs and arms and it hurt.

I came home.

Stirring noodles into the crock pot hurt my triceps.

It will hurt but I will go swimming again tomorrow.

I will look good for Hawaii!!!!
