"Today is my Favorite Day"

Andy and I always joke that if Sampson could talk, he would say that any day we take him to the dog park is his "favorite day." And after watching him sprint around The Bark Park with all the other dogs, I think he would have said it today :).

My day consisted of a trampoline "airobics" class this morning, hittin' some balls at the driving range with Andy before a delicious lunch, and watchin' my favorite doggy run around with the biggest smile on his face (and foam around his mouth) at the park. I think this Saturday made up for the hellish couple of work weeks I've had.

Sam's sawin' logs on his puppy couch.

After another very stressful work week, here I am, sitting on my comfy couch with a nice glass of red wine, watching it sprinkle (what!?!) outside, with my pup snoring at my feet... and I can tell ya, there's no other place I'd rather be. Both of the boys, Andy and Nick, are working tonight, so it's just me and my little 3-legged buddy.

We have one of Andy's best friends, Nick, staying with us for a bit, which has been awesome. Nick is exceptionally clean, eager to help around the house, and is an uh-may-zing cook- what more could we ask for in a roomie? Added bonus, Nick works in the evening, so Sampson has someone to hang with during the day. It's a good situation.

At least I don't have to "crash" any classes this semester!

I've been talking about it and now I'm finally doing it. Tonight, I registered for classes at Sacramento City College, for the summer term (and fall!). I've been talking with counselors the past couple of weeks and ordered my transcript from CSUS a month ago (I can't believe I got a "D" in "Magic, Witchcraft+Religion"- sorry Mom&Dad!). The two classes I registered for are prereq's for the program I want to get into, but after these two classes, I will have two more to go before I can apply. I plan on taking it slow and really feelin' it out. I'm excited to go back to school and feel more focused now than ever.

After a crazy busy work week, Sampson and I finally had some quality time to relax and lounge around the house together. Andy, on the other hand, spent the day working in the shop, and is now jammin' with all the guys. Unfortunately (and fortunately), Andy is also working tomorrow (Sunday), but it's great to know that things are getting busier at the granite shop. Luckily, he has a few days off from the restaurant this week - he needs to catch up on his sleep.

Sampson has found his new favorite spot in the house, on the ottoman facing straight out the front window. Right now, he's watching a crow bathing itself in the sprinklers. There's a little black cat that likes to walk along the sidewalk and taunt him. He nearly tore down my blinds in his frantic attack on the front window. He's such a good watch dog.

Hello loyal readers! I realize that it has been almost a month since my last entry, and I apologize to the handful of you that still check in on us :). The last couple of weeks have been busy, to say the least, with hectic work schedules. I've barely seen Andy, except for a few hours between his shifts, and haven't had a weekend day to spend with him in a few weeks! Hope that changes soon.

Yesterday, Neil, Nellie, Mom, Dad & I ventured into San Francisco for Mother's Day. We spent the day walking around The Academy of Sciences, Ocean Beach, driving through the Sea Cliff neighborhood, and then finishing up with a lovely meal in Corte Madera. Awesome day.

A few weekends back, I took Sampson to the new doggy park in our neighborhood. Andy and I took Sam there again last Friday. It's definitely our new favorite spot, as it's less than a mile away from our house, and it's brand new! Sam loves it too.

It's raining, once again. I hope that this is the last of it.... we're ready for summer.
