Today is just a day

It is so pretty outside. We ate lunch today outside the newly re-opened cafeteria. This is the time of year when Houston actually has a nice climate. Every year people start planting flowers and stuff during this first warm spell. Then it gets cold one more time before it’s really spring and all the flowers die, or people have to go to great lengths with tarps and stuff to save them. And I always laugh because I don’t think I’ll ever consider February is a good time of year to plant flowers, no matter how long I live here.

My doggies were very cuddly last night. Roxy napped with her head in the crook of my arm for a while. :) It was so cute. Zoya is always cuddly. (Is that really how you spell that word? Spell checker says it is, but it looks like something a cow would chew on to me.) I think it must be that they are starting to feel like it’s time for us to leave them for a weekend again. Little do they know that they get to come camping with us this weekend, which is the ultimate doggy treat.

Tonight is swimming. I’ve started swimming once a week with Sarah, Becca, and Jenny. It’s good for me - I need to exercise. Since I refuse to start jogging, I have to take advantage of some of these alternative forms. This week, I have swim goggles - which should be a very big help. Last week, I kept swimming crooked and getting in other people’s way.

After swimming, we’re going to Cheesecake Factory for Cari’s birthday. I will promptly undo all the calorie usage swimming caused.
