We're dog sitting an 8-month-old of this breed from friends of Amor who are an extremely inactive couple. I don't understand people who get a breed of dog they know nothing about, that will not really fit into their activity level, because they think the dog is "cute".

We're going to have her for a week, received her yesterday, and she's been a complete sweetie-pie thus far. She's so cute. Our plan is to take her on a LOT of walks, to keep her worn-out and not preoccupied with our tiny apartment. Wish us luck! It's kind of like having our own dog - cool. She doesn't bark, so I don't think our landlord will even know she's here. We have cool neighbors, too.

Y'all - Amor's interviewing for a job, a real job. Apparently the interview process may take several WEEKS - sheesh! The only bad thing about it - it may involve a LOT of travel on his part; inconsistent travel. My fears abound as to how that will affect our marriage, and now we're talking about putting off children for another 2 more years. Wow. It's funny how our long-term plans can change in a heartbeat, you know?

But, we can't really think too hard about these things - he doesn't even have the job, yet. We'll just have to wait and see.

OK, we're going to the beach today. I've got to go make some sandwiches. I don't think we're doing the sangria today - I drank heavily Friday night and you know the drill after that - I have to take it easy on the alcohol for a few days.

I got this killer new bikini, turquoise. My bod's coming along quite swimmingly, what with the Turbo Jam, biking, yoga, and the occasional torturous jog. They've always said that a variety of exercises is the way to go. I believe it. I BELIEVE!
