"dude you update less than i do"

words from gish, encouraging me to blah blah blah... even though she texts me at ungodly hours and i talk to her almost everyday...

well to be fair, i do that to people too.

i'm sitting at my desk at the bright and early hour of 0830, hgtv is on in the background, i have my coffee and cigarette and the dogs have been out.

day off.

i'm feeling guilty about not going to see dad and debbie as frequent as i did when she was in the hospital. i always feel selfish for some reason when i have time off and plan to do nothing with it.

i do the regular mundane chores around the house, which make me feel productive. sometimes i just walk the dogs or read a book and feel completely satiated. i like my alone time.

i especially like mornings like this when the sky is overcast and there is a smell of imminent rain.. that's when i like sitting in my comfy chair sipping coffee the best. my living room is really cozy and gives me a feeling of home. it's comforting.

i spent the weekend with ross in ottawa. it rained on saturday but we ventured downtown to a few comic book shops, and even attempted the rideau centre... both ross and i get agitated around crowds, so once i found out that sephora didn't carry my now favourite thing (carol's daughter - hair milk) we left.

i urged ross to go to ikea so we could get him a bistro table and chairs for his balcony and he reluctantly agreed... again, crowds aplenty. we found what we wanted quickly and he even bought a glass display for his living room and returned home.

sunday was cool, but no rain so we went to the dog park. the girls had a great time as always and so did we. i love taking them out on the trails... no matter what city i'm in, i don't think i would grow tired of either places.

monday i spent the day playing wii while ross worked, and then he took me out to dinner.

tuesday i worked, and now i sit here blah blah blah'ing

so that sums up my week pretty well.
