5/31: met a dog in a wheelchair May 31, 2009

How awesome is that?!  I don’ t know his name, but I talked to his owner for a little bit.  Apparently, his legs started to go but he wasn’t in any pain and was otherwise healthy.  Solution: dog wheelchair.

It looks like a harness with wheels and his legs rest on the back.  He walks along using his forearms.  He was zooming.  Things like this restore my faith in humanity.  (They come in different sizes and can also accommodate cats.)

Note: this is not the dog I saw.

5/30: made smoothies May 30, 2009

Granted, I was fully intending to make strawberry yogurt by mixing strawberries and vanilla yogurt in the blender.  I did not factor in that it would completely liquefy.  Whatev- it was excellent.  I think I may make this once a week and have it for breakfast every morning.  (I am such a creature of habit- I could eat the same meals every day for the rest of forever and be completely fine with it.)

5/28: it is written in the stars May 29, 2009

Make of it what you will.

5/27: received my 30,000th blog hit! May 27, 2009

5/26: ate vegan chocolate cake May 27, 2009

No, I am not a vegan.  It was accompanied by a barbeque.   I liked it, no one else did.  The cake and barbeque were to celebrate my mother in law’s birthday.

*Happy birthday, Uncle Johnny!*

5/25: Memorial Day May 25, 2009

Thank you to all who have served or are currently serving in the military.  I appreciate the sacrifices you and your families make.   God bless you.

5/22: 100s of everything May 25, 2009

I like this hundreds thing.

*Happy birthday, Dottie!*

5/14: going to the Bruins game! May 14, 2009

Brian got us tickets- so psyched.  Bruins!  Bruins!  Bruins!  I am assuming that mentioning the Bruins will get a decent amount of views here on my small blog, so welcome.  I posted once last year with something about the Red Sox and it is my highest viewed post to date, I believe.

FYI: this is me when I was little and had a boy’s haircut (like Kate’s hahahahaha.)  I have always admired bears.

3/14: 100 of everything May 14, 2009

100 push ups

100 crunches

100 squats

100 bicep curls

100 raising weights over my head and back to shoulders (if you have used 30 day shred, its the move in that)

100 jumping jacks

This took longer than I thought it would.

5/13: ran through cones May 14, 2009

Not ice cream cones.  Not sno-cones.  These:

We did stations at practice today.  I have decided that since I am completely wiped out after Wednesday practice that I will just run with the kids.  If I expect them to do it, I should be able to do it too.  So I ran with each group through the cones.  We also did a relay race where you had to zig-zag through the cones and then jump over them on the way back.  I definitely got a workout in today.
