my blog is changing my titles into some asian character language. i say that so ignorantly because i am, well, ignorant of all asian languages and what they look like. i wonder if this whole post will be in a different language?

Well Haley is officially on vacay. I received a text this morning at 2:16 AM that says "I'm in Athens!!" Guess her plane didn't crash (her constantly voiced fear); and I guess she figured out how to use my iPhone (the one I let her have for the trip while I'm stuck with this ten dollar brick from the 90s. O.K., a little exaggerated.) Anyway, I'm filled to the brim with excitement for her, and only a little less full of jealousy.

So, while she's strolling the streets of Athena, Ellas, Roswell (the pup) and I went on our own adventure. We hiked all the way through Zilker on the Green Belt (over a mile I believe) and to Austin Java (where I am currently surfing the net.) Here I enjoyed a blueberry smoothie and treated my sweet lil' pup to a side of baked ham. Fancy. Honestly, my sole reason for coming this morning was to update all my podcasts. I'm way obsessed. But that's for another post.

I really love walking the Green Belt in the morning. It's cool and damp and so empty on weekdays especially. I have my Keens and my new North Face light weight back pack. And Roswell is getting to be quite the rock climber. Supposedly, adult Boston Terrier's need an hour long walk a day. If Ros only gets one hour a day, she spends the rest of the evening "bulleting" (we coined the term because of the shape of her head when she pulls her ears straight back; to be more aerodynamic of course) around our 750 sq. ft. apartment. So, I decided rather then use more gas and ruin more earth, I would combine exercise, puppy-cise, and the need to update my podcasts. Plus, it's too quiet at home without H. I already have plans for many more adventures like these for the two weeks she's gone.

O.K. Time for the walk back before the weather changes back to Texas in August.
