My sister and I have long been fans of having Saturday morning breakfast together. We usually go to either a local donut shop or a local bagel shop to sit, eat, drink coffee, and enjoy good conversation. Usually we go "rambling" around town afterwards and see too all the goodies the local shops are offering. We rarely buy anything but we always find neat things that would look amazing in our houses. This Saturday instead of rambling we opted to take her 2 dogs for a really long walk. She has a Lab and a Weimaraner that both LOVE to play. She lives close to the local college campus so we walked around campus and ended the journey at the on-campus lake. The dogs LOVED IT! We let them off their leashes to run, fetch and play in the lake. They were so excited and fun to watch. Jake, the Lab, jumped in the lake every time he thought about it and June refused. She has to be the prissiest dog I've ever met. Despite being a dog, she's not at all a fan of getting dirty. Anyhow the day was beautiful and perfect for a long walk and I can't wait to go again.

As I said in my Friday post, I worked baseball this weekend. I was supposed to work Saturday and Sunday too but something magical happened on Saturday night. We had too many people on the crew! Of course, that meant that someone needed to go home and I JUMPED at the chance. Let me preface this by saying that I do get paid extra money to work these games and that the crew is chosen from a pool of staff members who are voluntarily working and when staff members are unable fill the crew then student workers are the next option. So that being said, one of our lowly paid student workers was about to get the boot for the evening. I seriously wanted to go home so I ran up to the poor guy and asked if he wanted to work my position. I could see another staff member lurking close by so I HAD to jump in there FAST! And I won!! The student worker took me up on my offer and I got to go home and hang out with the hubby. Albeit, no extra money for me but I really wanted to spend some much needed time with the hubby. We only have 16 more weeks of a nice, quiet house to enjoy unless baby girl decides to come early.

Diet observation: hanging my head in shame..WOW is all I can say. I have no excuse and it sucks.
