New York City
Happy Halloween first of all. We are leaving for New York City tomorrow...yes I'm excited to be back in the USA. My friend Tammy is watching our sweet baby while we are gone. I feel like a mama leaving my baby for the first time. I'm a little nervous and will probably call home often to check on him. He is having a puppy sleepover with his friend AJ another shihtzu that looks just like Barkley. Well, that's all for now. I just thought I'd let you know where I'll be for the next week. Later gators!

What a bummer...
So after spending all day at work 9-6, I come home for 1/2 and hour and then head to job number 2 at the Rogers Centre. I scanned tickets tonight and froze my badonkadonk off in the process. It has gotten pretty darn cold here in Toronto. I came home to find out that Jordan had signed up to do the CN tower climb. This is where you walk/run whatever you can do up the stairs of the CN tower. There are 1776 total. I have wanted to do this for awhile and missed the deadline date on the last one so now I am bummed. I can't do this one b/c I work at 9 am. Oh well, what can you do? Maybe they'll be another one soon. Good luck Jordan!
On a happier note, I am going on Sunday to something called the CreativFestival. It's this huge thing at the expo centre where scrapbookers, crafters, etc go and show their projects and sell goodies. I'm pretty excited. It should be fun. Jordan is coming with me, what a trooper. Maybe he'll find out how to mat his photo project. We'll see. Well time for bed. Later gators.

Swimming Laps
Today I came home from work to find a note on the counter to meet Jordan at the Rec Center and bring my suit and towel. We went swimming today in place of our running, well I didn't run, but Jordan did. I did 30 laps in the pool and boy am I tired. It reminded me of being in swim class at Thornwood, which was one of only two classes Jordan and I had together in high school. My legs are really tired, but it was a nice change from running. I am still doing very well. I have lost 17 lb in the last 8 weeks. My initial goal of 20 lbs by thanksgiving has nearly been achieved. I am 3 lbs away from that goal and hopefully I will surpass it in the next 5 weeks. Wish me luck.
I am still working alot which is probably helping my weight loss. I have 43.5 hours this week. yuck! I dont' have a day off again until sunday. I had yesterday off and Jordan and I went to the beaches, a neighborhood which got its name because of it's proximity to the lake. There are a bunch of great little stores down there that we love. We found a few birthday/christmas presents...yes I know it's early for christmas presents, but we're trying to think ahead this year.
Well, that's all for now. Tomorrow is my Mom's birthday. Happy Birthday Mom! She is getting home tonight from her trip with my dad to Arizona to see my Aunt/Uncle/Cousins near Phoenix. They went to the Grand Canyon on Saturday. My dad had never been there before. They walked up to the ledge and it was filled with fog. What a bummer. A little while later it cleared up so they could see the view. anyhoo...catch ya later gators.

You Gotta Wear Shades...
Yeah, I'm cute!
Our dog Barkley has a problem with digital cameras. If he even sees one he freaks out and starts running around like a crazy dog. We think he has sensitive eyes due to an eye injury he sustained before he came to live with us. We have learned to overcome this by using a disposable camera with a shorter flash. After a few months of using it we finally got it developed. The people probably lauged hysterically when they saw a whole roll of a stupid dog. Anyhoo, here are some of the good ones:
Jordan and Barkley by the waterfront trail.
Nice pillow!
One of his favorite toys.
I don't know why his ears are so long.
Are you talking to me?

New York City!
Jordan and I are taking a vacation and we leave November 1st. We are headed to yup, you guessed it New York City. We got free air fare and hotel thanks to JB's job so this will be a fun trip. We will get to spend a week away from work and finally just get to be together for a bit. This will be great!
We're not exactly sure what we are going to do yet. I know we'll see our great friends Justin and Kelly who live an hour and a half train ride out of the city. Also I wanna go see Ground Zero, Empire State building (which I have been in before, but still think is pretty cool), central park, possibly take in a Knicks game, Statue of Liberty, and whatever else we can cram into a week.
Hey, to all of you Blog fans....if you have ever been to New York and done anything cool or just know of something cool to do there let me know. I'm up for suggestions.
On a funny note: Jordan has started his work out regimen like I said before and it is really killing him. Well that's not exactly true the eating less and eating healthy is killing him. Today I asked him to help me give our dog a bath and he said no he just wanted to relax. I said what have you done all day? Nothing right? He followed that up with, " I was busy all day. . . thinking about food!" tehe I got a kick out of that. He followed that up with about 5 minutes of how hungry he was. It was cute. Keep at it Jordan. You can do it. Any words of encouragement you can send his way would be helpful. Well, that's all for now time to head to the gym. Later Gators!

Taking it easy!!
Hey everybody. Things are going well here. Jordan has been home for two days now. We enjoyed a nice day off together. Nothing too exciting. We went and got a passport photo taken for me, went grocery shopping, decided where to vacation (New York), took Barkley for one of the last walks by the lake this year, and now we're heading to the gym. Oh yeah, we've also watched some of the Post-Season games.
After we return from the gym we will have dinner and watch Lucky Number Slevin which we rented.
Tuesday night when he got here we went to St. Louis Bar and grill to meet one of his friends. Last night we got Jordan started back on his work out regimen. I have been doing this for 6 weeks now and I have lost 15 lbs! woo hoo! I'm almost to my goal that I made w/ Melissa to lose 20 lbs by Thanksgiving. I gotta keep going on that though. Jordan and I are off to a great start. Well, that's all for now. Time to hit the gym.
