So this weekend we hung out around the house. I think I went swimming on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It is so hot outside the pool is actually very cooling. I am starting to realize that I have been a completely indoors person for the past 3 years. I think that is probably why I developed allergies. I would never go outside. Only when I would go from my car to work would I get any outdoors time. Now that I have a pool I am noticing things, like trees and clouds. I think a good dose of nature can improve everyone's mood.

On Saturday Holly and I took Brennon for a stroll in the mall. I was pretty close to getting an iPad at the Apple store but I relented from my gadget addiction. Simply because I am going to get the next iPhone. I know how I talked about how my current phone is the best, but I have known that it has some problems. Over time those problems have become magnified. Nowadays it doesn't hang up, drops almost every call, switches contact names, and dials people at random. It is like this phone is possessed. So I shall jump to AT&T and get the iPhone at a discount. Of course I wonder how to break the current contract. We shall see. The new iPhone is said to rock. I will be glad to get it.

Sunday night I got my exercise for the week. Princess decided to escape again - 2 times. The first time was around 7pm when I was barbecuing. She keeps on digging holes in the backyard and slips under the fence. It took me quite a while to get her. Finally after running around the neighborhood about 10 times I subdued her. The second time was around 9pm when Holly put some boxes on the front porch. Princess ran out the front door. By now I am like, well, if she wants to come back she will. So I work on printing off some "lost dog" fliers.

Ah but around 10:30 I decide I can't let her win and try to get her. First I hear the jingling of her collar. That is the only way to track her. Then I run after the noise. Of course she chases rabbits all over the place. I was hot and sweaty, but determined. Finally I hear her in someone elses backyard. Somehow she slipped in a hole under their fence, but apparently couldn't get back. So I get a shovel to make the hole bigger and grab her. When I go to return the shovel back to our garage she goes out through the hole and is off again. I am using a bright flashlight and am running in between houses. I am amazed I didn't get the cops called on me. Finally at 12:45 I decided to give up and let her be. On my way back in the house I decided to shut the back door slowly and let it creak. It was then when Princess appeared in the backyard. I kept on letting it squeek and then she comes strolling in the house. I just had one thing to say to her. "Bad dog!"
