I'll last about five minutes

But right now, my house is clean. Living with a man and two dogs, I don't expect it to keep much longer than that.

Bathrooms, floors (I even vacuumed the corners free of dog hair), laundry, bedroom, kitchen.

Even did a bit of grocery shopping at Trader Joe's. Currently their OJ is the cheapest.

Typing it, it doesn't seem as impressive. Pity. For my back is aching, and I'm feeling quite proud of myself.

The dogs are being so good! It's probably because they are tired. Two days with lots of outings and exercise. Danica leaves me alone at the kitchen table and computer desk. That's how I KNOW I have a tired puppy. A tired puppy is a good puppy. Kevin and I took them to Stilacoom Park this morning. They ran solid for 45 minutes. Add some car trips, another 30 minute walk before dinner, and playing keep away with the vacuum (Where the dogs keep away from the vacuum), and it's a good day to be a dog.

Patrick continues to wiggle and squirm. I love every second, despite the sore back. Can't sit through a movie anymore. Kevin and I hit Casino Royale (his third time) at The Blue Mouse last night. Best popcorn prices in town: $2.50 for a small bag. Excellent. We sat in front of the chattiest couple. She had a meaningless running commentary that would not stop. She must have forgotten that she was in public, surrounded by other people. But Kevin held my hand most of the movie, so the rest was icing.

Just wait until there's a baby in the mix too, then three minutes of cleaning may seem like too much effort! :)

I'm glad you're enjoying everything that Patrick is doing, even sore back and all...

See you soon!
