Wheeeee! (Tomorrow Is Another Day...)

Wheeeee!

I do not know why, but I am just in an INSANELY good mood today! I don't have a particular reason, because seriously life is confusing me just as much as ever, but it's like today? I DON'T GIVE A CRAP!! I'm riding the high of 3 apple martinis from last night, the promise of a Johnny Depp-centric two hours tonight and a Peabody Rivertop party with hopefully at least one ridiculously expensive cranberry and vodka (which I just spelled crandberry and find extremely funny for no apparent reason).

I suppose my good mood could also be derived from the fact that it is now 1:46 and I have spent a grand total of 2 hours actually at work in my office since Tuesday. I kind of LOVE that!

[Insert witty segue here] Wednesday I brought my dogs to a leash free dog park and let them run wild with their own kind for a little while. It was so interesting to see how their personalities shifted in the "pack mentality". Jack became much more aggressive and refused to stop harrassing the other dogs. At one point he was leading a pack of yipping dogs after a 6 month old German Sheppard whose tail he held firmly in his jaws glorying in the sound of the German Sheppard's terrified squeaks. Shortly thereafter Jack was relegated back to his leash where he remained for the rest of the visit. I'm just waiting for the day he messes with the wrong dog and is reminded that he's only 40 pounds and not, in fact, a heavy weight dog wrestling champion. Ellie, on the other hand, was about as laid back and mellow as I've ever seen her. She wasn't terribly interested in many of the other dogs and spent her time running around on her own eating foreign substances she found under rocks. She had a fantastic time.

After the dog park, we brought them down to the river to go swimming for the first time. I took some pretty adorable pictures, sadly my computer is STILL busted (did you know that it costs 99 DOLLARS to have them try to recover your hard drive?? ugh...) so you'll just have to imagine some tentative paddling on Jack's part and extremely enthusiastic Hungry, Hungry Hippos action from Ellie. Apparently, viciously biting the water as you swim is helpful to staying afloat. Who knew?

Anyway, it should be a pretty good, low drama weekend and the countdown is getting lower to my New York City trip next week!! Just 4 more days to go until I am on the plane and off to take on the Big Apple with my sister. I may even get frighteningly productive and do a little packing on Sunday--but don't hold me to it, I'm much more of a night-before-the-trip kind of packer. Have a safe weekend, and maybe, just MAYBE I'll update you on the boy drama in my life on Monday... or maybe not... we'll see!

A night before packer? Sheesh- you're better than I am. I'm an hour before packer. I just cannot make myself pack any earlier than that.

I hope you have a FAB trip and I'm glad that typepad is back working again. I tried to comment on your blog a couple of days ago and it wouldn't let me.

wahhhhhhhh
