So although I stayed up much much too late last night I was up early this morning so that I could get some food made for my co-workers. I was being quite energetic and had decided to make a true German Chocolate Cake and Corn Chowder to commemorate how cold it is getting tonight!
First thing after i woke up and let the pups out I hopped in the car and headed to Walmart. I picked up a couple things I had forgotten yesterday and got home and back to work. Three hours later I had loads of food prepared and even relaxed on the couch to read a couple chapters out of “Eclipse”.
Work has been moving right along. I’ve been working diligently on some extra work related items and that has my head swimming all hours of the day with ideas and “what ifs”. It’s been fun. It has actually re-energized me back to my job. Burn out runs rampant in this field and so it’s just good to know that yes, I can decide to like my job, even on those bad days.
The weekend coming up is going to be fantastic. I feel like a kid before Christmas. i am just so excited. I’ll keep you updated as we go along!!! I’m really looking forward to the Dog Fair on Sunday, but have some pretty awesome plans for Saturday too. Monday and Tuesday I have to fnish some things at home and I’ll be able to start the next week with renewed energy again! All is definitely right with the world. Who knew???

It was the last beautiful day of the year I think. It’s supposed to do nothing but colder from here on out through the weekend. Good thing I have a four day weekend coming up. How lucky am I?
The pups have been great! I worked with Ben last night before dinner time on some basic obedience. He is learning “stay” from the “down” position and allowing me to walk away. He did really, really well. We also worked on “front” and random “sits” and “downs”. We worked just a few minutes but he tried his hardest and wants to do his best.
The two of them slept peacefully in the living room last night while I slept in bed. It was awesome sleep and they kept each other company so I didn’t feel bad. This morning I was so refreshed from three good nights of sleep that I actually went out running. I even did some weight training last night too. Whew. It’s amazing what a positive attitude can change!
The weekend is coming up! Yippee!! I haven’t been to a movie in ages so I think I’m going to do that, Body of Lies maybe, or Apaloosa, not sure which. I also have the Wisconsin Dog Fair on Sunday, so that will keep me busy! I’d also like to catch up with some friends I haven’t seen and I actually have some work stuff that REALLY needs to get done.
Nothing else too exciting. I’ve read the first few chapters of “Eclipse” and I’m so happy that I went and bought the book. I went to Stephenie Meyer’s website yesterday to see what else she had on the horizon and it looks like by the time I finish her currently published books there should be another one out there for me to read! Woot!!

This morning I left the pups at home and went out for a motorcycle ride with a buddy of mine and some of his friends. We had a great time and I was thankful to enjoy some of the beautiful weather we are having this fall.
When I got home I took Alley and Ben to the dog park and they had a great time. Ben was soooo tired when we got home.
I had to work overnight tonight so I left the pups at home and hopefully they will sleep till morning.
