funny how it works...

the past 3 weeks have been hell. our normal schedule is all mixed up with robin having been gone for a week, being down to 1 car, new dog, yadda yadda. it's silly but i was almost feeling sorry for myself a little bit. training time has been a little tougher to come by...but ironically i enjoy it more when i have to squeeze it in. and usually, my results are better when i my baseline stress is a little higher. hmmmm, maybe i need a more stressfull job? now i'm just talking stupid.

after the race sunday we went to my aunt and uncle's house in wausau and dug up a bunch of their perrienials. now, this wasn't a covert op...we were invited to do so. they bought their house 19 years ago and have accumulated a helluva lot of plants. a few weeks ago they accepted an offer to sell their house to become a parking lot for a strip mall...for a lot of money. so the plants needed to go and they couldn't move them all. good for us, good for them. we got a chunk of a rose bush that my great grandmother had in her garden...that's pretty cool. now we just need to keep the bastard rodents away from it! anyway, last night we spent a lot of time moving existing plants and putting the new plants in the ground. talk about instant perrienial garden. and this morning we're getting a soaking rain...maybe my great grandmother is watching?

puppy class tonight...time to watch muffin get beat up by all the tiny dogs...wussy.
