today has been filled with a haircut (yay!), the dog park, a quick shopping trip, and de-dog hairing the house. overall a very good day! i'm amazed at how much hair the dog can lose. every possible area of floor was covered with her fur.

my weekend got off to a very good start by talking to ben online and then on the phone! it was the first time i'd talked to him (in real time) in a very long time and it was so nice. i miss his voice and everything else that goes along with him. 20 days and i'll be in MN and hopefully so will he! i did some web surfing and found a bunch of fun looking things to do while in MN. for example - the museum of medical oddities! or, the nations top rated bar! i'm so excited!

the rest of my afternoon is going to be filled with mowing the lawn, maybe a run, and working on the mini-exam for person-centered. awesome.
