just about killed my dad today.

Don't worry...he gave me permission to write that...it was his wording, actually.

It's been a lot of fun running with my dad. He likes to run slowly, so I've been trying to push him a bit faster. I'm trying not to give him a heart attack though....that might just defeat the purpose of all this exercise, eh? My dad's hilarious...still tried to beat me with the ending sprint (he didn't!), and I think is actually excited about getting faster, even though he's complaining his butt off...it's funny to be on the receiving end of the complaining this time around.

I have a dentist appointment soon. Blech. That's the one bad thing about coming home...I get carted from doctor to doctor...it's my fault though, for not just getting my act together and getting my own appointments in Cleveland. Maybe this year is the year...I'll become an adult, at last! Hmmm...maybe that isn't that desirable afterall. I'll take it one step at a time. I've never been one to jump right into the cold water. I slide in slowly. But, once I'm in, there isn't any hanging around...I take off!

Tonight, we're going to get crawfish. Before I get asked...No, I don't suck the heads off of them on a regular basis. But...I do think it's necessary at least once...bad luck otherwise, I firmly believe. We're going to go to a little place in the country that I've never been to, but has been highly recommended...Hawks, I believe the name is...full report later, I promise, along with lots of pictures of me trying to remember how to crack open those little bottom dwellers...yummmm!

Now, time for a quick shower so that I'm no longer stinking up the greater Lafayette area, and then off to the dentist I go. Perhaps I'll reward myself with some TCBY on the way back...I'm not really a dentist-hater, but it's still not all that pleasant. At least I'll get a free new toothbrush, right?
