My "little" visitor...

So I am lucky enough to have a "little" visitor for a couple of days. My mom's dog, Libby, is hanging with Maggie and I for a few. This morning was interesting. Libby got Maggie all kinds of wound up. She was biting at Maggie's front paws. Maggie made a hard spin to the right. Libby tackled her. Maggie got up and jumped at Lib. Lib took off (as fast as Libby can take off) and ran through the dining room around the table. Scout was hiding behind the table. He saw Lib coming. Scout high tailed it out of the dining room with Lib in hot pursuit. Maggie saw Scout come running with Lib on his tail and she fell in and chased both of them through the bedroom, around into the bathroom, and back out into the living room. Ever had about 190 pounds of lab flying through a one bedroom apartment when you are trying to grab for collars? Can you imagine the noise in the apartment downstairs? I am thinking they were not happy campers.

So, I made some more progress on the grad school application. Now that I actually found my debit card, I could fax my transcript request to Penn State. I also made contact with a former professor who is hopefully going to serve as a reference if I can get the appropriate information to her. The paper? Oh yeah, the paper...that is still a work in progress. I think that I have gathered as much info as I need. Now it is just a matter of sitting down and writing the stupid thing. Time is getting short, so I better get at it!

Tonight's plans include taking Mag and Lib for some kind of physical activity. Not sure what that is going to be since it is still mud season. I wish the ground would at least freeze. I am also headed to the Y. I re calibrated my Nike+ yesterday, so I am hoping to get some better mileage that I have been getting. I am also hoping for a faster pace. I am fairly certain that when I calibrated the thing initially that I had added two or three extra laps because I had lost count on the indoor track. Ooops. There are typically guys playing basketball down below, so at least I have something to watch while I run.

So, check this out... Can you count the number of chins in this picture? Good Lord. This is me on the cruise in 2004. Hefty. I am feeling good about where I am now and will continue to work towards the goal of getting and staying healthy.

Okay, off I go. See ya later!
