park.

we took bunnels to the park a week or so ago...
wide open spaces weren't her favorite. she refused the carrot that we had brought along to bribe her with.
the escapade ended with a wild leap followed by an almost hanging (all done herself courtesy of her diamond studded leash)...thanks to a toddler on his tricycle careening down the lane.

pre-park:


she refused to speak to us for hours after the park incident. actually, she didn't come out from under the bed for almost a day...

post-park:

pool rat.

today marks day 3 in a row that i went to the pool. tonight i went for an evening swim. it was so peaceful. the pool is on the roof. for a second as i was lounging in the chair drying off it felt like a late august evening. i breathed a nice sigh of relief when i realized that it is not even june yet. i heart the pool.

i have been dreaming of australia recently (both daydreaming and nightdreaming).

what a peaceful and amazing trip.

i need to take many little moments (like the one in the photo) for myself to get through this crazy weekend.

the weekend rundown:
ethics panel
spring art show opening reception at work
HALF MARATHON

eeeeek!

les.

dear mom,
happy mother's day.
this is my all-time favorite photo of you, taken in my all time favorite place,
chautauqua.
i love you.
xoxo.

hmpfffff.

if justin were an australian tag, this would have been him this morning. deflated, dejected, and hopeless (yet still stylized and terribly endearing). i am sad to announce that my running buddy is literally, out of the running.

he had taken a week and a half off to help his knee heal and tried to run an easy 2 miles this morning. he barely made it 1.

sigh.

i will trot on for the sake of the bananas, but i will be a lonely banana.

10 days til the race...
