Hump Day.. Done!

Yep, its almost midnight and we are all still awake.  Linda wanted to watch a couple of episodes of White Collar tonight. She taught a slew of classes and then had to rush right to church, so it's been a busy, busy day with no TV.  We're sticking to the rule of no TV before 8:00 p.m. anyway.  She never wants to become one of those old women who watch The Price is Right, followed by Lets Make a Deal, and thee soap operas as chasers all before 4:00 p.m.  (If you do watch that much TV, we're not judging... but maybe you might want to get a dog and get out for some exercise.) 

It's a good thing Chim is going to spend the night behind closed doors tonight.  He has a terrible case of gas.  Linda thinks he might need to get the you know what things expressed.  I have to have that done every single time I go to the vet, and sometimes just because.  He is going to flip out.  Maybe she'll take him when I go in for my grooming.  He also needs his nails clipped again since he's gnawing on them. 

Both Chim and I have been starving all day.  We had a bigger than usual breakfast, a giant dinner around 4:00 and then both of us were howling for some dry kibble bits a little while ago.  Of course my regular meals are 2 Tablespoons of wet food mixed with chicken and a big meal is 1/2 Tablespoon more.  Chim gets 1/2 cup twice a day since he's 3 times the size I am.  When your only 5 pounds (OK, I'm 6.2 pounds but girls lie about their weight) every little calorie counts. 

Linda has a lot of social plans for the next 5 days.  That's not usually something she likes or looks forward to, but all of her plans are going to be fun... starting with breakfast at Mimi's in the morning with Sarah, Penelope and 2 other girlfriends.  She'll take lots of pictures so I can post them in the coming days. 
Taylor is starting to train hard for Tough Mudder!  It's just weeks away.  I don't think Sarah will let him carry Penny during the race.  I'm sure this guy got a lot of second glances until people realized it was just a doll.  Linda and Sarah will be pushing Penny in the BoB stroller, trying to keep up as much as possible.  It's fun watching all the stations.  Taylor beat everyone in his heat last time, over 250 people.  He's hoping to finish faster this race and ace every obstacle.
