back off
walking through the break room at lunch with my freshly heated chicken pot pie, i was stopped by a co-worker who demanded i cut it open to see what it looked like inside so he could decide if he too should go to the store and buy some.
uhhh... no.

be still my beating heart
someone in my office knows my weakness, apparently. i discovered on the way back to my desk after a meeting several boxes of cream cheese and bagels in the break room.
i've already had 2 plain bagels with cream cheese. they're chewy on the outside, soft and yummy on the inside and i hear them calling my name to go back for more. i didn't bring lunch and i have another meeting in a half hour so i don't have time to run out and grab something.
willpower! i need willpower! must resist the bagels!

i swear i'm going to finish this
i got about halfway through the second course and fell asleep on the couch. woke up a couple hours later, grabbed some caffeine and a sandwich, sat back down to finish the rest of the course, and promptly fell back asleep.
either i really really need more sleep or this is some seriously snoozeworthy content. i think probably a little of both.

a little too quiet
while sitting on the couch doing my homework i happened to realize i didn't see axel around. normally he's right next to me when i'm on the couch, or at least within my sight. i got up and looked around, but didn't see him in any of the usual places: behind the couch, in front of the back door, or at the end of the hallway.
then i noticed light coming from my sewing room. i'd forgotten to shut the door! when i got down there i discovered that he had grabbed a towel i had lying on the floor (i use it as his seat cover in my car but had brought it in and washed it after last night's trip to the beach), wrapped it around himself to form a little nest, and was curled up on the floor of my sewing room.
lol too bad i have no idea what b did with the camera. it was cute, i promise.

cramming
i have some homework to do. it was actually due last week but it's REALLY due on wednesday. i figured since today is a holiday and b is going to sleep as long as i let him, today would be a good quiet time to get it out of the way.

casualties of life
in the midst of the excitement with axel last night, i took off running down the beach and across the street barefoot. going there wasn't too bad but on the way back to get my things, i managed to step with both feet onto something very thorny and got stickers in both feet. they went in very deep and were barbed so they didn't want to come out. it hurt like crazy, and apparently i didn't get them all. this morning i pulled out two more centimeter long thorns from the heel of my right foot and i think i might have another in the outside of my left foot, but if i do it's in the callous and i can't see it.
additionally, when i was bathing axel last night after his jaunt in the ocean, he managed to claw the hell out of the tops of both feet. he really really doesn't like getting bathed, and at this point i'm only barely able to keep him in the tub. it's a full body workout for me and involves much screaming and crying.
needless to say i'm thankful he's ok and all but boy did that little bugger do a number on my feet last night. i'm pretty thoroughly hobbled today. sadly that meant no walkie for him this morning and of course it's back to 92+ degrees outside this afternoon so i'm not sure how much i'm going to be able to do with him this evening. we'll see.

scary stuff
our buddy jimmy's birthday was on thursday, so we had a party for him on friday. there were many shots and other alcoholic drinks and somewhere around 2:30 am someone decided it'd be a great idea to light off some fireworks in the back yard, in the very close proximity to axel. the poor guy was scared out of his mind.
