For the last two nights I entertained guests at my house. Monday was a larger party, and last night my friend Michelle came over for both dinner and for a pre-arranged puppy play date between Jacques and her dog Jordan. Michelle was initially worried about how the two pups would get along. Specifically, she worried about Jacques being territorial since Jordan, another male dog, would be entering his space. I reassured her that Jacques is, what I've termed, a puppy politician. He's never met another dog he didn't get along with. Sure enough, the two pups were thick as thieves by the end of the night. They chased balls, one another, and colluded in their efforts to befriend/corner my cats. By the end of the evening, both Jacques and Jordan were rightfully exhausted.
I thoroughly enjoyed welcoming folks into my living space on Monday and Tuesday. But tonight, particularly with the change in weather, I wanted to curl up on my couch with a good book. Dinner, of course, had to be handled. And to save money and improve my diet for the marathon training, my goal has been to prepare nearly all of my meals at home.
Tonight, the GOP was the perfect option. I threw in a chicken breast for protein sake and complimented the meal with my grandmother's potato salad recipe (left-overs from the gumbo).
I'm off to do a little more reading and then plan to retire early. I have an early morning run to complete before work, so sleep within the next hour is essential. Good night.
