I have been determined to snap a good photo of Benji for awhile now. Today I set out to do that yet again as it is a gorgeous day outside. Our yard isn't very green yet [the only sign of spring are three daffodils] plus with Benji's tendency to move, the only backdrop avaliable is that creepy-looking fountain [the children are so soul-less looking, look at the eyes!] that sits on our well so Benji has no choice but to stay there [ha!]. He still managed to foil my plan though, the above is the only picture that turned out and his enthusiasm for my project could be greater...
Oh well. It's a wonderfully warm and sunny day [and I actually have the day off work] and I'm going to be spending it outside on the deck with a book. And a bored [angry?] shih tzu.

Sometime this week:
-get those new work pants hemmed (why oh why must I have such short legs? it would be so awesome just to buy a pair and not have them altered).
-drop coat off to be drycleaned-find a top to go with that blue shrug I bought last week.-make an appointment to get my hair cut (this is something I've been meaning to do for a couple months now, ha)
-Benji: vet appointment on friday (hopefully it's the last one for a while!)-buy walnuts (my usual grocery store does not carry them. so odd) and bake cookies for work saturday
-pick up books on hold at library/drop off books-chase the rain clouds away
-buy seed-starting soil and start my herb garden!
I had the day off today and it was a gorgeously sunny day. I wasn't really looking forward to it honestly though, since I've been out of school, I feel...empty? without the usual load of readings and papers and whatnot which I took comfort in. I need structure! I need due dates! Usually when I have the day off, I'd take Benji for a nice long walk but since he's been sidelined with his eye ulcer issues, this wasn't going to happen.
So...what do I do on a day like today?
Spring clean!
This is going to sound weird but it was FUN. I blasted the music and totally kicked this house's ass. And it just feels so good to have a house sparkling like this, and I feel motivated! To do stuff! Like make a list! (See I told you I needed structure) I've decided to make a list of stuff I want to do this summer. It is currently a work in progress...I think I have like 6 things on it so it needs some more time. But I'll post it here when I'm done, I'm even thinking of using my lj as a means to document it and reflect back on it at the end of the summer.
Edit: Urgh, I can't figure out this cut thing. I fail. Oh wait! I did. yay!
