A few Good things

Typically with a few good things there are also a few bad things, the bad things are Eko got sick again and in a fight at the dog park.

A few good things are:
• Luckily it wasn't as bad as it was last time.
• I had a wonderful bike ride home.
• It's Monday night movie, so that means Phil, Carolyn and I will be watching Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix and having pizza.
• Kristen found a huge spider for my collection.
• There's a nice little rainshower.
• Eko will finally get the training that he's been needing his entire life.

• Finally, most importantly,I can get blood out of carpet.

Fall finally, Atumn last

Heading into October I kind of look back on my life last year and think how much has changed. I'm extremely happy where I'm at and it's hard to believe that I'm here. This week in particular has been very good I got a new iPhone five, did some organization work at the cupboard, and it spent a lot of time in my new hobby, collecting bugs. Having the iphone 5 is really fun because I can just talk to it and it types for me! It's like having a audio blog!
I'm very much enjoying Fort Collins. The weather here is beautiful. It's been around the 70s which makes it really nice for bike rides and spending time outside. This is the first time I've experienced actual fall. The leaves on the tree outside my bedroom window are changing from green to a nice orangey red.

A bird I saw on one of my longer Bike rides.

Not much else is going on. Eko still chases squirrels around like a maniac. I'm working on a new cake project for the cupboard next week, I'm pretty excited about that. But other than that life goes on as normal nothing much to report.

Lazy Thursday

Phil was feeling under the weather today so it looks like its' going to be a lazy afternoon with just us girls. Carolyn and I just returned home from target with provisions in tow. These consisted of:

Waffle Supplies and Spinach and Artichoke dip stuff. Included in the Artichoke dip stuff is also 5 boxes of crackers. I will note that when we put that on the list Carolyn nearly died laughing....still not sure why. I'll try to remember to take pictures in a few hours when all of our evening activities are in full swing :)

Wet Dog Kinda Day.

It's been gloriously raining for the last 12 hours here in good ole Fort Collins! It's not supposed to let up til tomorrow. What makes it super fantastic is I don't work today or tomorrow so I can really enjoy it! And by enjoy I mean sit around the house lazily and eat copious amounts of "comfort food". I have a big tree just outside my bedroom window and through out the night as I woke up I knew it was still raining because I could hear the rain drops falling down through the leaves.

Eko of course took his own sweet time this morning the rain not fazing him at all. He was a little unsure of why I was taking his picture so he was a bit nervous.

I also took a few of him before his walk in the kitchen with his new collar. It's called a walk with me collar. It's working like magic! I had to get one because Eko has just discovered squirrels and let me tell you he is soooo sad he cant climb trees. He certainly tries though, nearly ripped my arm off a few times, hence the new collar. He hates it :) Yesterday I got my bug kit! I can officially start an insect collection now, rather than just have dead bugs in containers around my room! The website I ordered it from sent me one of their catalouges too in case I wanted a fetal pig to dissect or anything of that nature. The whole thing made me think of Kasey, maybe I'll send it on to him for his mad scientist adventures. Of course I cant start collecting today because of the rain. That just means I can focus on Legos I suppose. Speaking of Legos: I give you Hogwarts! Ron and Hermione in the Chamber of Secrets "Why do you live?" " Because I have something worth living for."
