yuck! gross!OWWWWWWIEEEEE

I have been absent, and I have no real excuse. Other than the following:

-this is the last week of my semester and two group papers and all these written assignments are totally bogging down my writing.
-i have been taking my photography class and I bought this sweet new lens, the Nikkor 50mm 1.4D lens, and a remote control, and some other sweet accessories
-ive been applying to community college and fretting over my admissions: turns out, everyone is admitted. So, I'll be starting the photography masters certificate in the fall.
-running has taken over my life. Only slightly. I love my treadmill, andI love the outdoors, and I have been running 3-4 times a week. Maybe only 20 minutes on the treadmill, but it is a hard 20 minutes.
-i've been making flat biscuits. so i guess i've been making crackers.
-i've been walking my dog at least once a day first thing when i get up despite all the gloominess and puddles that seem to be never ending around here.

other than all of that, I have been doing nothing but keeping up with the joneses.

Oh, yeah, and my dog bit me. He has no remorse because I swear, he's been chewing on that kong for like, two hours now. I put more treats in it because its keeping him away from me. And believe me, he's not my favorite friend right now.

None of this is his fault.

He just hates the mailman. I mean, REALLY. Especially this one mailman we have. Its the mailman's fault anyways... for banging the door, and waving his arms in the windows. I mean, seriously, do i really need to go outside and say, HEY BUDDY DO NOT TORMENT MY DOG! Oh, and do you know who to call if you have a complaint about your mail person? I do. I've CALLED. THREE TIMES.

So he hates this mail man. And I was walking him, and my leg got in the way, and one of those sharp teeth went through the soft spot in my knee next to my knee cap. and I bought myself a tetanus shot, a two hour stay in the ER, and some vicodin. That I'm scared to take. I mean, whatever.

I'll spare you the picture.

Anyways, i'm off the running, so no lovely notes about long runs in the springtime for a while. I'll just be here, watching movies, and laying around with my leg up for a bit. And eating flat biscuits, and taking pictures. and you know, all that.

Until next time....
