Hi Allison,

What a lovely weekend!! I just really enjoyed reading about all of it.

Sorry about the fat lip and bumped teeth. I have smacked heads with dog before too. It hurts a lot!

Hope everything goes well at dentist.

: getting up

: Saturday was very overcast. We spent
: a relaxing morning at home, then
: headed into town to work out at
: the gym (after a good lunch, of
: course). Then I got together with
: a friend who was in town for a
: visit. We went for a walk on a
: nature trail. Although there would
: have been more birds in better
: weather, we saw ducks on the
: river, and we saw a hermit thrush
: and a flicker. I always feel
: happier when I'm surrounded by
: trees. Then I played with golden
: retriever puppies. Then dinner
: with friends - brown rice pasta
: with meat sauce, and broccoli. I
: had packed a cheese stick and yam
: cake in case of late dinner (plus
: I tend to need more food after a
: good workout) but I didn't need
: it. Better safe than sorry!

: Sunday was beautiful: sunny and
: spring like. The birds were very
: active at our feeders, and I heard
: lots of birds singing. We did some
: yard work, and I vacuumed the
: house. I also vacuumed the room my
: pet parrots are in. It was really
: messy, and felt so much better
: after I cleaned up the floor. We
: had omelets and toast for
: breakfast, and I had tuna
: croquettes and asparagus for
: lunch. We went to the store to get
: interesting salad greens for our
: lunches: kale, chinese cabbage and
: baby bok choy, along with some
: other groceries. And we rented a
: movie and watched it before
: dinner.

: Dinner was pork, sweet potato and
: brussels sprouts (my husband
: wouldn't touch those with a 10
: foot pole, but our 14 year old
: border collie decided she liked
: them.)

: Unfortunately, I had trouble sleeping
: last night, so I woke up pretty
: tired, and then our youngest dog
: tried to jump on the bed while I
: was interacting with another of
: our dogs, and his head collided
: with my front teeth. (I think they
: are ok, but I had a dentist appt
: tomorrow anyway so I will have
: them checked out). It really hurt,
: plus I got a fat lip. Made a note
: of those two things on the top of
: today's journal page, so if I feel
: funky a few days from now, I can
: go back and see why.
