we've been to the park, (on leash walk), grocery, and honey baked ham.  done before 9a, which is hip.

tomorrow i'll go to the boys sisters and bring ham and twice baked spuds with bacon, cheese, chives, sour cream.... the works.  need to look for something to wear, as my pj pants and sweats might be a tad too understated....  no biggie... but the clothes switch out needs to happen soon.... (add to list)

we will walk to town again in a little bit.  elliott was so good yesterday.   i know that he is a dog, but i think he knows that something is up with me.  he is minding his business and looking to me before making any mistake.  he may not respect me (yet) but he sure does care if i'm happy or not. 

i do love the lug, but i'm serious this time.  i'm already seeing the difference after just 4 days.  i'm not giving in. 

right now they are each laying at my feet one on each side.  daisey is the one that has slipped a few times.  she does this thing where she will eat most of a meal, but leave a bit. elliott gobbles his and is always ready for more. she then eggs him on to try and get it and then play the victim.  (i used to fall for it, put elliott out, and make a big deal of her getting her share)  she tried to do it this morning, and the joke is on her, cause i put her out.   lets just say she could go a day or two before i'd freak about her eating.  all i can do is give her the opportunity to have her complete breakfast, but it isn't game time anymore.  i stand between them now for the 3 minutes it takes, and if there is any left, it gets taken up. 

they just moved up on the couch together.  I wonder what they are thinking.

got a list going again.  got half of it done, and am going to bust ass for a couple hours this morning, walk to town,  then hot tub and work on the DVR.   i'm going to make a pot of lemon noodles to eat today.  love me some lemon noodles...  i'm defrosting some sweet sausage to put in too.  will see.  i've never put meat in before, but i was thinking i could grill them outside (since cleaning the grill was crossed off the list yesterday).... 

better outlook today.  not sad or hurt.... but still determined.  

now off to work on the basement and yard....
