My best friend

Man's best friend is a dog. My dog is more than my best friend. He is my child. He is part of my soul. He has been there in the best times, the hard times, the lonely times and never judged me.  He just loved me unconditionally.  There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't make me smile. Even the couple days he had diarrhea and ruined my carpet, I loved him. He has given me so much and I just hope I can repay all the devoted companionship he has given me.  I have had Genghis over 15 years now and he is still going strong.  I think Genghis is one of those once in a lifetime pets.  For those of you that do not have pets, this probably seems silly. I hope for you, sometime in your life there will be an animal that will change your life.  The first day I moved into my new house, Genghis slept in bed with me. Right next to me as if he was a human. He hasn't slept in bed with me in 10 years. I don't know who enjoyed it more me or him. (me)   One thing I do know, the best decision I have ever made was adopting Genghis.

Summer diet

Thomas and I decided to go on a diet and use each other for motivation. Thomas is a believer in the South Beach diet. However, I am a huge carb addict. I like a challenge though. I can't believe the things you can not eat on this diet. No carrots!  No fruits ( for two weeks). Thomas is going to cook dinner for us and I am very committed to this but it will be difficult. I am a strong believer in exercise in addition to diet.  Moving in to a new house has given multiple opportunities to exercise. Also Comcast on demand has several workout shows. Today I did a core workout and realized something very sad. I am not able to do a sit up. I can do crunches. It inspires me to work on doing a sit up, on my own, without rocking or putting my feet under the couch. 

Living in sin

I have had a few roommates. Three to be exact. Only one lasted a full year. I have never lived with a boyfriend. Not due to moral reasons but due to the fact it scares me to have to rely on another person or have another person have a say in your life.  I have finally taken the BIG step and moved in with my boyfriend. The funny thing is the hardest part so far was the month prior to moving in. Most people have cold feet about weddings. Not me, moving in with someone is the ultimate anxiety. However, once I moved in with Thomas my anxiety has subsided. Everything has fallen into place.  It is still an adjustment but one week in, everything is going great.  I will keep you updated on my journey.
