So, I'm working from home these days and it turns out one of the major downsides (at least from my new hubby's point of view) is that there is no longer a real motivation to shower every day. Who cares if my hair looks greasy? Only the dogs (and aforementioned) hubby will notice. And my dogs lick their private parts (and the aformentioned hubby probably wishes he could) so we aren't talking about witnesses with very high standards for cleanliness. To get to my point as it relates to the topic of this blog...running in Austin, Texas in August provides real motivation to shower. I'm sure Steven will be glad to hear we'll soon be running 4 days a week...that's four guaranteed showers.
On a completely unrelated topic, we took new dog/Millie/Tillie/other dog with us today and she is a champion jogging partner. Seriously, unbelievable. Right on my heel the whole time and never pulled forward or held back (well, unless another dog ran by). It confirms my theory that she is part dalmation because I read that they were originally bred to accompany horse-drawn fire carriages, "running alongside the coaches, or under the rear axle ofthe moving coach. They'd keep up with the team as far as it ran, sometimes over 20 or 30 miles a day." There's your intersting fact for the day.

sometimes i don't even shower and i DO have a job outside the house. however, according to leah, just because i'm in a basement and don't see the light of day literally all day doesn't mean i'm allowed not to shower. it does mean i can read your blog and laugh out loud. : )
