And because I can’t resist

I want to meet Brian Basset. There is a reason some folks are dog people and others are cat people.

A short trip


A week from today I should be on my way to (hopefully) sunny Phoenix for a work training. I’ve never flown anywhere alone where there wasn’t someone waiting for me upon my arrival, so this should be interesting. I’ll have to make my way from the airport to the hotel and to the conference center the next morning, all on my own. Yeesh. Fortunately, Josh will be joining for the weekend and we’ll be able to explore the city. So far spring training, a Suns game and the zoo are the only things on our list. Suggestions?

Being an adult.

Being an adult is overrated. There are bills to pay, there is money to save, there are things to clean, there are dogs to adopt. How can one do it all? I’ve gotten into the habit of sleeping in as long as possible and saving my workouts until late at night when it feels like the hardest thing in the world to tie my shoes.

After going straight to the grocery store after work (after stopping for a paczki from Oak Mill Bakery, of course), it became clear that I need to get into a better routine and go back to working out in the morning. Spin class at Solao, just a five-minute walk away? Okay. And I’ll complain the whole time, obviously. If you want a good laugh, click here and read. Seriously, it’s too funny.

Weekend in photos

This weekend saw a quick road trip to Lake Mills, Wis. It was a relaxing few days filled with a Badger basketball game, lots of lounging around and a trip to a new favorite restaurant (Timber Creek Pizza Co!) Plus, I managed to sneak in a quick 30-minute visit with Frasier.

And to lighten the mood


Red and Rover (by Brian Basset) is killing it this week. Seriously, he reads my mind when it comes to pups.
