Kick in the Pants

The blahs have been kicked to the curb. A couple of reasons why:

1. Aunt B’s german sock yarn came in the mail yesterday. I’m super excited about this and must now find the perfect sock pattern for my Aunt B. The yarn is self patterning, but I want to try out a new sock pattern. Nothing super fancy, just different.
2. The yarn for my super secret project came in. Secret in that I was asked by someone to make a Christmas present for someone else, and even though neither parties knows about this blog, there is always the off chance that they might find out, so it is in my best interest to NOT post anything more about the secret project until December 26. Someone remind me. I started on it last night and it is going to be great, I think. Yippee!
3. Scott and I went running together for the first time last night. Now, I run by myself and sometimes with April, but I’m horrible at pacing. HORRIBLE. Scott? FABULOUS. LIKE A METRONOME. I am STILL high from such a great run. He sets a good pace. Not too slow, not too fast. It was great. Plus? He looks great in his running get up. Bear went with us. He had a good time, too.
4. After running, we went to dinner at Rojo. Ya’ll know Rojo is one of my all-time favorite places to eat. Had the southwest quesadilla. Yum.
5. Kate posted this and that made my morning. You’re the best, Kate!
6. Tomorrow, Scott and I are going trail running right after I get new running shoes.

WHEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

This is my dog Bear, aka "pussyhound". He’s always on the prowl for the pussy……cats, you pervert.

On a somewhat more serious note, does anyone know of anything other than the gentle leader or pincher collars to stop a dog from pulling while walking on a leash? I love my dog, but he’s killing me with the pulling. I think that’s why my shoulders are always so sore and tight.
