Sometimes Joe does the cutest things. So cute that I think my head is going to explode. So cute I have the desire to eat his entire head, starting with that soft, delicate ear. In this photo he has placed his head on my sweater, which I anthropomorphically interpret as him missing or loving me. Isn’t it just so freaking adorable???

I’ve been swimming at the YMCA in the Presidio since about November. I try to swim Monday, Wednesday and Friday, though I don’t make it if I’m sick or have to run an errand in the morning. I’ve been pretty consistent for the most part though.
Around January and February the pool got packed for obvious reasons. People made New Year’s resolutions to lose weight and were coming to the pool to do so. This annoyed me greatly, because although the pool is big I hate sharing lanes. Splitting it two ways is fine, but when you have to circle with three people it gets down right irritating. Usually the three people aren’t always going the same speed. The staff puts markers at the ends of each lane: fast, medium, and slow, but that doesn’t always mean you’re going to end up with someone that goes the same pace.
So many times I would have to slow down and wait for the person in front of me to get ahead enough for me to actually get a bit of a workout. And if the person was doing the butterfly stroke forget about it! That stroke is so damn slow. I think it should be off limits if you’re sharing with more than one person.
I was so annoyed by the increased number of people that I contemplated finding a new pool. Luckily I stuck it out though. Around March and April those folks started to peter out. And now on days like today I had an entire lane to myself during the whole session. So wonderful! Thank goodness for lazy people.
And if you are wondering how much I swim, 32 laps make a mile. I swim 24 laps, which is 3/4 of a mile.

Apparently June 7, 2008 is the first annual Drawing Day. The goal is to promote drawing for the sake of art and get 1 million drawings together on that day. I’m going to participate and I think you should too, whether you draw or not

Of all the color schemes a triad of red, yellow and blue is definitely one of my favorites. Well, blue is just awesome in most cases. Like a complimentary scheme of blue and orange.
In these particular pictures, I especially love the shades of blue and red in the first shot. Those two colors together just drive me crazy! (In a good way).

I just took one of those goofy quizzes where you find out what celebrity your dog would be. As it turns out Joe would be George Clooney.
Why do they always make these things so damn ugly?

I posted my first video to Filckr, yay!
Sometimes when Joe has too much energy he’ll dart around upstairs in the loft. Sometimes he runs downstairs and then back up again. I can’t help but laugh, he looks so happy and excited.

Sunday that cold I suspected on Saturday kicked in. I spent the entire day on the couch. Steve went on a motorcycle ride and said I would have been too cold even if I was healthy enough to go. And that’s about it.
I’m not always so good about the “100″ words part. Oh well.

I find it very difficult to blog on the weekend. I fully intended to write some things because I’m participating in 50-100-50, but I just couldn’t drag myself in front of Wordpress to do it.
On Saturday I would have written about how nice my day was, despite the fact that I could feel a cold coming on. I went to brunch with some friends and afterward we went to a spa. The three of them got massages but I got a mani/pedi combo with 20 minutes of extra massage. It was so nice and relaxing. I don’t think my toe nails have ever looked this pretty before.
Later that night Steve and I were walking the dog which takes us past our favorite bar, Double Play. We usually go there for brunch on Saturday or Sunday. We obviously hadn’t gone that day. So we were walking by and our favorite bartender, Christopher, bangs on the window furiously, waving for us to come in (he always lets us bring Joe inside).
Apparently he was trying to get a hold of us for a week because he had some free passes to a cruise on the bay. They already expired, but he still needed to give us shit for not calling him back. He called our land line, which no one uses and explains why we didn’t call him back. So now he has our cell numbers in case any such freebies come along in the future.
At any rate, we ended up hanging out for two hours and then talked him into coming to dinner with us.

Joe is a very gentle dog. So gentle that from time to time Steve or I will feed Joe a carrot or french fry from our mouths, just to demonstrate to people how gentle he is (as shown here). Over in Ethiopia they take this to a whole new level. One family there feeds HYENAS food from their mouths. How crazy is that? Super crazy, that’s how.
