what're you up to today?

goooood morning :D  (man, i do have to say, i miss my yahoo smiley emoticons *lol*)

how's your week goin so far?  well, happy hump day! hehe!!  things arent too bad here.  i've been struggling with everything in general--i dont feel like eating well, im lazy and dont want to exercise, and i've been having some endo pain off and on.  and im sure the pain is directly related to my diet, so geez i just need to get my butt back on track!  more on that another day...i dont feel like getting all blubby on myself.  im in a good mood and i'd like to keep it that way *hehe*

well today is gonna be fun!!  i have a friend who is moving to minnesota in just a few short weeks.  we met at a "puppy kindergarten" training class last summer--we both have golden retrievers! hehe!  (yes please indulge me--those of us with pets and no kids, you know how we are. *giggle*)  anyhoo, her hubby got a new job which is why they're relocating and he's already there and working so she's working on packing (got that? LOL).  she needs help sorting, throwing and packing...apparently mostly the throwing part because she finds it hard to do that!  well she's asked the right gal! LOL!  i've gotten to the point where i can more easily let go of a lot of stuff i used to packrat.  some things i actually throw away, and some i feel good giving to goodwill.  in fact now that i think about it, i have two huge trash bags full of clothes that need to be dropped off! (the fun part about losing weight! hehe)  hopefully i dont end up being her goodwill...LOL...it might be too tempting to offer to take home a lot of her stuff! haha!!  like a free rummage sale or something ;)

HAHAH! okay tangent!  one of my cats, trixie, is a total goof.  she LOVES eyeglasses.  no, not wearing them *hehe*, but if we leave them on our desks or night stands, she finds them and either chews the ear pieces or she runs off with them! LOL!!  i dont know if she's trying to get our attention or what.  as i was sitting here typing i kept hearing this clicking-crunching noise, and saw she had hubby's glasses he left on his desk! hehe!!  hubby then said something to the effect that maybe she's trying to tell us about her eyesight issues. ROTFL!  okay, maybe you had to be there, but it cracked me up!  our cats are dorks.  they do the funniest things and have very different personalities.  i swear they are little furry people sometimes :D

okay anyhoo, back to what im doing today :)  my friend and i are actually meeting up today at a grand opening of a new dog park in the area!  maizy, our golden retriever, gets soooo excited when we tell her she's gonna see JAKE (my friend's dog).  since she's known him since they were puppies, they play so well together and are super funny to watch!  i have some pictures of them on her dogster page.  we are gonna miss jake (and his parents! hehe) quite a bit once they move, but it will be fun to take trips up to MN to visit!!

tomorrow i'll be volunteering with MFAI for their urban agriculture outreach program.  i found out there will be 60 inner city milwaukee 1st graders there!! :-O  the program is at a farm with prairie land, and we'll be collecting prairie seeds and learning about plants and doing bunches of activities with them.  im soooo excited! :D

welllllp, i really gotta head out for now!  cadet, our INFORMER cat, is reminding me once again (and has for the last hour!) that he is hungry.  he's getting snax all worked up, as she's the food monster. *LOL*  cali is just patiently waiting right here above my desk on the shelf, and trixie is too, but i can tell she will bolt as soon as i stand up. hehe!!  i love my pets!!

so what're you up to today? 

have a good one!!
