Friday Five: the “It was a very dramatic morning” edition!

  1. My roomie texted me last night while I was at my friend/seamstresses house getting a dress taken in that Rio had gotten out of the fenced in backyard and into the neighbor’s yard. She came when she called, but the neighbor girl was a little scared of her. But no harm, no foul. She got yelled at and the roomie swatted her butt. I thought we were done and she’d behave.
  2. I THOUGHT WRONG. This morning I let the dogs out while I was running. When I came back, my roomie’s dog was in the yard and Rio was nowhere to be seen. Cue the panic and adrenaline. I found her in the neighbor’s yard again and went to get her. Instead I chased her for 15 minutes through 2 backyards at 6:30am! She refused to come and must have thought we were playing, despite my very angry voice yelling at her to come to me and/or sit. I called my roomie, she brought treats and we corralled her. So much yelling ensued. I live on a very busy street-I was terrified she’d get hit by a car! As part of her punishment she did not share my breakfast this morning. Hrmph. I’ll show her!
  3. Nothing like running through a spider web during your morning run to perfect your ninja skills! I karate chopped and flailed my arms to get rid of any potential spiders. I’m sure the early morning commuters enjoyed the show!
  4. This morning required a Starbucks run for an Iced Chai Latte. Rio woke me up at 1am for a potty break and then that 6:00am alarm felt like it went off 20 minutes later. 
  5. I’m heading to Omaha tonight to see my bestie. I haven’t seen her since the end of May. That’s way too long to go when we only live 50 miles apart.

Happy Friday Friends!

Alternately titled, “Rio is NOT amused” or “Leave me alone, lady!”

I sent that Snapchat to my bf last night. Rio had snuggled up on my lap out of her own free will, so I decided to send that picture to him. The look on her face was so priceless! She was just not having it. Hrmph. I even had bought her more dog food and rawhide bones at the store before I came home! How rude of her! 🙂

In other news:

  • My wonderful bf bought me a plane ticket to go to New York next week! I will meet his family and friends and accompany him to his best friend’s wedding! EEE! I’m excited! I miss him. It’s been nearly a week since I’ve seen him and it seems longer. I fly from Omaha to Buffalo next Thursday at 6:30am. 
  • I was researching the 21 Day Fix. I know at least a few of you are Beachbody Coaches and have done the program. I’m considering it. I think it could help me get these 10 pounds off that I want gone. Is the food part really hard? I’m not much of a cook.
  • I think I had a migraine during the night that didn’t fully form–(I get auras with them) and I just was left with the headache. I feel awful. Combine that with a 2 hour staff meeting this morning and a very upset tummy (that usually happens with migraines, I’ve found) the afternoon struggle is VERY real for me.
  • My old roomie got engaged yesterday! She’s the morning show anchor at my old tv station and she and her boyfriend (now fiance) bought a house together in April so she just moved out a few months ago. He proposed with the ring AND a puppy! That’s how you do it boys, take note!
  • Each Tuesday is $5 movies at the theatres in town. My friends and I are going to see “Trainwreck” tonight. I can’t wait!

Happy Tuesday friends!

Puppy snuggles and morning struggles

Rio was tuckered out last night after our 1.5 mile run/walk and two hours of roughhousing with my roommate’s dog, Reggie. I was laying on the couch, talking to my bestie when Rio climbed up on top of me and snuggled in. She threw a back leg across my stomach and her front paw snaked its way over my chest and neck. She then proceeded to fall right asleep. A little bit later she tucked her head next to mine and kept on snoozin’. My little heart just melted. I sent those pictures to my bf. He was quite jealous! She never does that to him! I think she loves me best! 🙂

Are you wondering why I’m laying on my office floor? Between bad food yesterday from Noodles and Co. and cramps today this is the only comfortable position I can find. Good thing I have a private office and I can hear people coming!!

In other news-I got up and ran again this morning! 4 mornings in a row! Go Me! I have to be the talent for our video at church tonight so our walk will have to wait until 7pm because I CAN’T mess up my hair! LOL. She’s getting used to our walks/runs and the route we’ve been taking. She knows exactly where to turn. It’s pretty adorable. 

This entire week has been a struggle to want to actually get work done. Send help!!

Happy Friday Eve friends!

Meet my new running partner, Rio!

This is my bf’s dog who is staying with me while he’s on vacation. She’s a lab/husky mix…hence the blue eye. She’s about 16 months old and she’s a sweetheart.

We went running yesterday in the heat and humidity and she did great…just tried to chase down a few birds and squirrels! She makes me run faster…but is good about walking and slowing down and listening to me too. We’re going running now, since a cold front moved thru…dropping us from 95 to 81 in about 11 minutes! Wish us luck!
