No offense March B-day people whom I love (Brian, Sarah, Bear), but your month totally sucks.  I woke up this morning at 6, and it was just raining, slushy from all the snow last night, windy, just terrible weather.  The minute I opened the door to go outside Sofie put on the breaks.  She looked at me with the biggest puss 'n boots eyes I've ever seen. 

The message was clear - "I have no desire to walk around in this mess.  I'm hardly even awake and you're going to drag me around in the slush? I think not." 

We walked around a few blocks.  Once I was really out, I was very glad I was not on my way to the Park.  There was about an inch of melty snow everywhere.   Raining pretty steadily.  Dark.  Cold.  Wind.  I brought them back in where they ate their breakfast and then settled down to sleep again.  You can never sleep enough when you're a dog.  I, on the other hand, trudged off to the gym to run 4 miles on the treadmill + some pushups and plank. 

I think the above picture is kind of sweet.  Every morning when Brian leaves for work.  Sofie lays patiently next to the door pretty much until I leave.  She likes to listen for who is outside the door.  Bear likes to watch me while I'm in the kitchen fixing breakfast for myself.  You never know, a grain of oatmeal could get dropped on the floor. 

I'm very excited for this weekend.  You know why?  Because it's Brian's BIRTHDAY!  We're going to go to Cold Spring and hike Breakneck Ridge and eat burgers (veggie for me ;-)) and drink beer with some friends.  I'm counting down days to the weekend. 

Carpe diem,

J
