A very busy and cold day started at 5:40am.  A quick walk with Ella our Kerry Blue Terrier and then back to the warm bed for some last few winks of sleep.  Someone has to keep the almost 15 year old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, aka Maguire, company.  He prefers his walk time to be in the light of late mornings.

Dentist appointment 9:30am: Dr. Antonio R. Charmaco is by far the best dentist that I have had in the last 20+ years.  I had two silver fillings removed and filled in less then 40 minutes. Fast, friendly, perfect color match and the best part, no pain.

On the way home I stopped by Pine Community Center and enrolled in a ‘Get Fit Your Weigh’ 10 week program that focuses on exercise and nutrition.  The program dates are January 21-March 31.  Top three highest % of weight loss receive prizes.  I would be happy just to look good in shorts this summer.

Dog walk today was around the blue loop through the woods and around the man made lake.  It happens to be Maguire’s favorite as there are so many different animal smells.  Today unfortunately was a little upsetting, as there was a fair amount of fresh blood marking the white soft snow.  No animal, just the in-nerds scattered in the nearby shrubs. Tire marks and several different footprints lead me to believe hunters. I thought hunting season was over. I think I watch too many crime shows.

Dorothy: I finally got to talk to my sister today.  Asked her the usual questions, and the ‘is Graham engaged yet’ question, is ‘Kathryne engaged?’ Nope not yet on both. 

Mom: Is looking at getting another puppy once Sean, aka Seany boy, passes.  It could be a several years.  But she has already started looking at the Portuguese Water Dog.

Dad: Seems he spent the larger part of the day reading his emails and looking at our Christmas photos.  It takes quit a bit of time going through 207 photos.  This definitely was not my best group of photos.  Probably had something to do with red wine.

Saharia Spa:  Met Chris today from 2-4:45 for a hair color and cut.  She was a little shy with the color, and ran out of time to finish the cut, (yup 2:45 hours just isn’t long enough) so I will be back next Thursday.  Oh well, at least my hair doesn’t feel like it’s been over treated.

Mojos:  Stopped by and talked with Jenn, the owner of the running store on 228.  Yes I signed up for a ‘Couch to 5K’ program that starts this Sunday January 6, at 4:00 and culminates on March 2 at the Brave American 5K in Sewickley or March 9 at the March Mad Dash in Allison Park.  I’m not too sure if this is the environment for me, but hey, might as well try and shake some weight off.  I used to like running, being outside, free.  Maybe I’ll like it again.

Rebecca: got a imessage from her that she landed and is in Richmond Virgina.  They play the Spiders tomorrow night at 7pm.  I checked the navysports.com website and guess what I found,…. Becca is the cover photo for the game this Friday.  Richmond in Richmond.  Nice.

Phillip: Haven’t heard from him, but I did see that he read my post last night and gave me a little comment.  Thanks, Phillip

Adam: Star Wars marathon is not permitted to be interrupted.  It brought back such fond memories when I saw him playing and organizing his Star Wars collection.  Got some great pics that I’ll post later.

Andrew: He is in the living room, I’m in the kitchen and he Skypes me.  Go figure.

Well that’s all for now, it’s been a busy day and I need to get ready for tomorrow’s events.
