Pug Pooping Frenzie

Up at 530am – beautiful morning – dark, star filled sky – warm Exercise, coffee, Frankie outside Meditate, stretch, leave for run at 635am Run four miles – easy! Eggs and fruit for breakfast Shower at 740am – ready to go by 755am Drive BM’er to work Work hard – long day – eat lunch at desk Wanted to leave a little early but wasn’t in the cards – there until 545pm Nice, short, fun drive home Mindy had been at school – Make plans to go to Barley’s with kids around 7pm Before hand, I nap and blog – Bella and friends making plenty of noise – hard to nap Bella decides to skip Barley’s and hang with neighbors – having a sleepover at Makayla’s Mindy showers before we go to Barley’s Me, Mindy, and Jacob head out around 705pm The place is packed – the lot as full as I’ve seen it all summer – The new menu? Steve Wonn in – I stand while Mindy & Jacob park at a barside table Mindy scatters – I talk with Jill about the new menu. Many believe it inferior to the prior, including me – cost cutting measure. Smaller portions – higher prices. And this after summer-long hype. Ripe for competition. Bob & Mary Ann show up 8pm-ish – Share stories about their recent Oregon trip Sounds like they had fun at the coast, in the mountains, with family, and then with friends. Bob also shares news of his recent new camera purchase – Canon PS SX20IS, I believe. Tom C. arrives. Talk about work, golf, his upcoming vacation (long overdue). As Todd Rundgren says, We gotta get him a woman. Mindy, Tom & Jacob order dinner/food. I only snack on theirs At my third beer, I ask about ordering the original Cuban. Can do it, but on the ‘new’ bread only (might as well be white toast). Nah! I order a brisket quesadilla instead. I eat only two slices – crate the rest for home. Mindy gets the check, but I pay. Left for home around 945pm After freeing Frankie we head down to visit the neighbors and Bella. I took two beers along. Jason and Wendy were there. Bella declares she doesn’t want to stay all night after all. Mindy agrees that she can come home. Chrissy tried talking her out of it but she wouldn’t budge. Watch an interview with Lady Gaga. Interesting. I like her. Mindy left for home before 11pm. I stayed long enough to finish my second beer. Headed home around 1115pm after a pug pooping fiasco. One of the pugs crapped on the area rug in the familyroom. I plucked Frankie from the floor and headed home.
