Hey bloggy loggies. What are you doing on this gorgeous day? More importantly, what am I doing, inside the house blogging?!

We spent a good amount of time at the “forest-y” dog park today, so I feel 0% guilt. I’m attempting to tame my wild flab with the “Couch to 5K” program–which merely asks you to run/walk 3 times a week, gradually increasing the running increments until you run an entire 5K (3 miles). The park was so beautiful today, and it felt so good to be out, that I completed two of the Couch to 5K increments, back to back. Go Lizzy!

The current nail situation. I’m aware it looks like something a 5-year-old would pick out. Don’t care!

Friday after work I purchased a fancy-schmancy lounge chair for the backyard (it rang up at a jaw-dropping price of 90 dollars, much to my horror). I think I’m going to return it–it doesn’t allow you to flatten it completely, so you can only sit in it, you can’t lie on your stomach. An important component to a lounge chair is the ability to flip over, don’t you think?

These sunset photos sneak their way in!

My in-laws are in town, so yesterday we took them to a nice dog park on the beach.

It was a beautiful day…except for that wind! Ohhh that wind!

Maggie and Bear Schnubs had a good time in the water. They both fetched the stick!

Maggie was limping a little this morning, but she got over it.

Fleeta was smart to bring a hat. I find it amusing that I own 30 winter caps and don’t carry a SINGLE ONE in my car!

On the way to the park, we had Ivar’s. On the way home, we had gelato.  And then pizza for dinner last night. Gee whiz, why can’t I lose any weight again?

Gelato is delicious. Luckily the nearest place that sells it isn’t close to our house.

Don’t you forget it.

It’s…another sunset photo, but who’s counting?

Coming up next: after youtube takes an hour to load a 5 minute video, you can look at my backyard! Hooray
