Donna, hangin' with Buddy after his breakfast, waiting for him to release his traditional two burps, before she lets him start running around or playing.

Long days

Starting the day at 5:30am has been quite a challenge, but Donna has really stuck with it and powered through, in the interest of getting Buddy out for at least a 45 minute walk every morning. Of course she checks her email, etc. via her phone before heading out.

Kind'a hard to tell who's more tired. Even worse is that this was taken during a lunch-break trip to home, not in the evening.

Thursday night lights

I'm trying to appreciate darkness, because there's a lot of it ahead. The worst part is that I've got this new iPhone that I've been wanting to shoot pictures with, and no daylight for any shooting. This weekend I'll be hitting the shutter button like crazy. Even in the dark though, it's pretty amazing what the iPhone 4S camera can do.

I found myself up and around so early this morning that I actually had to wait for the doors to open at the Von's grocery store, so I could get in for my morning cup of Starbuck's.

I'm loving the camera on the iPhone 4S and I'm so happy Donna nudged me into the Apple store to get this thing. No, it's not quite as good as an actual camera, but I always have it with me and I can get much more creative with the iPhone than I can with a point-and-shoot. The other upside is that I'm already finding myself shooting and posting more, simply because it's more convenient and less time consuming.

The Samsung TL500 will probably be glued to my side during the weekends but during the week, this iPhone 4S is gonna be perfect for letting me get my creativity fix.

Oh, and about the photo... just a leaf on our front walkway that must have blown in from Colorado.

10pm laughter

One minute I looked over to see Donna and Buddy dozing off on the sofa. The next minute, I hear Donna laughing - turns out Buddy decided to clean a rather sensitive area near Donna's foot - which tickled a bit, to say the least.

Me getting an iPhone 4S means Donna has a new (to her) iPhone 4, and so far she's loving it.

The anniversary dinner

We kept postponing getting out for our anniversary dinner, so Monday we headed to PF Chang's, one of our all-time favorites. One dish we can never resist is the Mongolian beef and tonight we added some shrimp & chicken steamed dumplings, Chang's spicy chicken and some beef fried rice.

The real world

Three days off has been nice, but Monday wasn't all fun and games - we had to clean the house, go grocery shopping, get the oil changed and other odds and ends. Buddy kept waiting for Donna to crash on the sofa so he could cuddle with her and take a nap. He ended up waiting a long time.
