Happy Friday!

It's sunny out today & the snow is starting to melt. Might be a good day to test out the willpower of my doggies at the park. They've been cooped up for weeks now, only going outside for stints of 5 minutes or less. They seem to forget how cold it is & paw at me to go out just as much as usual. That excited tail wagging stops abruptly once I open the door. There's been a lot of 2 steps forward, 3 steps back into the house this week. Poor pooches!

Also on my exciting list of Friday fun:
- give the dogs a bath
- re-caulk the bathtub
- figure out why my attic is developing condensation
- pack up my summer clothes & put in storage (*sniff*)
- box up any winter clothes that I don't need & drop off at donation center
- drive my friend to the hospital at 6:30 for some scary tests
- call my sister (which has been on my To Do for over a month now. bad!)

Fortunately I'm still on Dominican time, so I'm up early. I should finish by tonight & can sneak off to a guilt-free movie. I've seen the Prestige (loved it), but there are a ton of new movies out now that look worth watching. Any recommendations?

Sand Under My Feet



I'm home from my holiday but I think it will take awhile to adjust to the 3 feet of snow under my feet. I prefer sand, in case you were wondering. My camera, on the other hand, isn't such a big fan of sand. I noticed it was moving verrrry slowly while I was trying to snap pictures of myself on the beach & when looking at the results in the preview screen there were several red dots & lots of "corrupted data" error messages. It was time for a cleaning anyway, so I wasn't too concerned about the camera itself, but the pictures on it were another story. The first thing I did when I got home (well, after being mauled by the dogs...puppy kisses came first!) was upload my beach babe pictures & grinned a huge cheeky smile. They turned out great! I didn't lose too many to errors & they came out surprisingly well considering my remote control wouldn't work & I was balancing the camera on top of my beach bag. I had to lean in & set the self-timer on the back of the camera, then run out to pose for the picture - all with sandy fingers too!





I'll have a picture gallery up of my sandy feet tomorrow for members of my foot fetish site.
