Enchanted

Nothing much is happening today. Saw the rest of Enchanted, pretty good movie with Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey.

I ran 6 miles yesterday, but I need to run more tomorrow before my tax appointment with Corey at 2pm.

I am confused if Marty is going to join me for the training run on Sunday. I emailed him via facebook and told him I was going to do it, then he responded with a "Sounds good. Good practice" Not sure if that means he'll be joining me. I guess I have to run into him online to see if he's indeed running it.

Missing Guga... it's been exactly 4 months since he's passed away. RIP Guga.

RIP Guga

It's been almost a week since Guga passed away at 2:30pm on Saturday May 23, and I am still grieving. I really miss that happy little face. I don't know when the pain will go away.

I have decided to eliminate all my debt by the age of 33.

Yes, that's a lofty goal, but I think I can do it. I just have my student loans to worry about. Then I'll start repaying my parents back for the loan they gave me to get rid of my credit card debt.

Hopefully that gives them about 5 years of me paying them back because they will live for at least that long, if not longer.

I just have to move back home from June 2009 to May 2010. That may be a problem finding a home for Guga. I will find several homes for him until I can get him back. I am determined in keeping Guga. I just won't be able to live with him until May 2010.

Guga on my pillow

Even Guga

Settling down into the new apartment. I got the third dog and boy is he noisy.

I took them for a walk around the new 'hood and they made some friends. I hope this new change in environment makes me not depressed.

I can't sleep so I took the two doggies out for a long walk. We're back and Guga is pooped out on the doggie bed.

Guga is always looking for the new doggies that join the dog run

Yay, uploading images through my Iphone works!

Birthday Parties and dog runs

So I had a birthday party that didn't turn out so well. Chris didn't show up. Big Surprise there. Now his phone doesn't even ring, it goes straight to voicemail. I am going to meet Jonathan tonight, I waited til Saturday for Chris.

Jonathan is definitely hotter than Chris. I have to get the photo of Tootell back on here. I think that if I had to choose, it'll still be Chris since I will most likely be his gf at the end of this month. His phone is still turned off though.

John Fitzgerald is the best looking of them all. Together with his occupation, he beats Patrick and all the other guys, including sadly Chris, hands down. I think that Chris is going to be my boyfriend and husband. That email he sent me yesterday wishing me happy birthday means he is thinking of me.


That's a picture of John. The first one is a better pic. There was a photo he had given me that was really hot. But he is super hot in person.

Just returned from the dog run. Paddy and Guga had a blast and they are napping right now. Wish I had a great camera to capture their naps on.

back to running

So I've finally kickstarted my return to the gym. I feel and look fat. It's not a self-esteem issue. Since going on the meds, I've gained about 5 lbs. This is also from getting hunger pangs. I'm doing 3 miles at a 9:30 pace, I have to improve this to 8:30 to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

I've registered for the Big Sur International Marathon in Carmel, CA on Sunday April 27, 2008. I am determined to run this marathon and even ordered a long-sleeve jersey. I'm getting really psyched about the location, it's on Highway 1 in Cali, however it's very hilly, so I have started to incorporate hills in my treadmill training. When the weather gets better in February, I'll take the training outdoors. I have to start waking up in the mornings to get to the gym. When I wake up at 6am, it's dark outside, so it's hard to get out of bed. I'll just set both alarms on my clock within 10 minutes of each other to force me to get out of bed twice. The second time should reinforce my motivation to get to the gym. My goal is to complete the marathon in less than 3:40.

Paddy and Guga are getting along much better these days, they are not fighting each other. Their playfighting doesn't escalate to any cuts or bruises, so I am getting relieved. Guga is still not pad-trained, he'll go on the one area of the kitchen that is not covered with a wee wee pad.

I need to make a new run mix. I've downloaded some older running beat songs, just have to make a playlist of them.

Justin Timberlake is on SNL tonight. My life has become thankfully normal and boring.

Day before...

So tomorrow is my first day back to work. I'm feeling very trepidatious. Paddy and Guga are snoring away on the couch. I have to post the pics of the two dogs that were taken over the summer by a Japanese female photographer I met at an event that I bartended at.

Tonight I went to dinner at Applebee's with my parents who were trying to iron out my nerves.

At work, I hope I'm able to carry on about my nasty bout with pneumonia.

I've been bidding like a fiend on a bunch of eBay auctions. I found the nicest pair of shoes and a lovely shirt. I've gotta get back to work. I hope it goes well. I'll try to fill a blog entry out each night, a therapeutic blogging.

I wonder who commented on April 29. Whoever you are, the one person who reads this blog, state who you are!

Patrick Schaal's Birthday

Btw, it's Patrick Schaal's birthday today. He turns 29 years old.

Nothing is going on with his trial or plea, or no one has told me anything. I wonder what is going to happen to the boy.

Guga is chewing my flip flop. I need to pack for my trip to Spain.

Madrid and Barcelona, a needed respite from the craziness. We're staying at the Sofitel in Madrid. Then the Hotel Condes de Barcelona in you guessed it Barcelona. They are really nice 4 star hotels.

Guga

Guga came into my life on April 18, 2007. He was born on November 16, 2006. I was wandering around the village after a tax client appointment and stumbled into Parrots and Pups, the same store where Paddy is from. I fell in love with him the moment I laid eyes on him although he was not interested in me at all. When we started playing, I held him in my arms and he started to cry. I couldn't put him back. I took him home that night and introduced him to the other love of my life, Paddy.

He's been a member of our family ever since.
