Right now I am laying on the couch, watching my 16th episode of Lost this weekend with a dog asleep on each side of me. Adam is in his usual spot: the recliner with a laptop in his lap too. Our latest obsession is Lost (probably because the season finale is tonight). We are only on the 4th season, but I'm sure we will wrap it up today. It never ceases to amaze me how much boys enjoy fight scenes. Apparently fight scenes between "two army specialists" are especially awesome. Sorry, I just don't get it.
Besides watching 3 seasons of Lost, my latest ventures have included dog-sitting, babysitting (not sure which one is more challenging!), picking out new paint colors for our house :), and starting a new project at work.
I get to hang out with my cousins two days a week now. I really feel guilty getting paid for it. Last week, my cousins Andrew (13), Nicholas (10), and Lyndon (11) and I laid on the couch all afternoon and watched FBI's Most Wanted and The Middle. Oh, and I dug some fudge out of the freezer (my aunt always has the best sweets!), and devoured that while we vegged. Then my grandparents came over, and I drank a glass of wine and chatted with them while my cousins played. Babysitting should definitely not be that much fun.
Miloh gets to come on my babysitting adventures most of the time. My cousins looove playing with him. Yes, Kali and Miloh are angels (most of the time), but apparently our neighbors don't appreciate their "presents" in the bushes behind their house. (Umm, hello, free fertilizer!) Adam had a slightly nasty conversation with the live-in boyfriend of the girl that owns the house, but ever since we have made sure that the dogs stay away from their bushes. It's not like we don't pick up after our dogs when we walk them, but they prefer the pine straw around the bushes if we let them out back. Well, two weeks ago those particular neighbors happened to be outside as we packed up our car to head to the beach. We returned the following Sunday to a substantial pile of dog turds up against our back patio. Thanks, we got the message. And, for future reference neighbors, you don't want to get on my handsome boyfriend's bad side. It's just not a good idea.
Summer school starts tomorrow. Because I have put off my 100-level PE class until my final semester of school, I am taking online step aerobics this summer. I have to do "pre-testing" at 6:30 am Monday morning. The testing consists of push-ups (girls can do modified push-ups, but I think that is an insult, those are ridiculously easy), curl-ups, sit-and-reach (which I am absolutely horrible at), and heart rate monitoring after three minutes of step-ups on a 13 inch wooden step. I will be sure to provide frequent updates about this class. I am also taking cognitive processes and social welfare, but I assume that those will be slightly less interesting. (Although, you never know what kind of whack-job will be in class!)
Well, Sawyer/James just jumped out of the chopper, so, for now, back to Lost with my snuggly puppies.
