Right now I want a chocolate brownie with a warm, still kinda gooey inside. Then I want to smother it with peanut butter and stuff it in my mouth.
When I passed the giant bags of M&M's in Costco, I wanted to rip one open and shower myself with them. If some landed in my mouth, so be it.
There was a huge Coke truck parked outside of Costco. I had to walk within inches of it.
I went for another walk around the park. On my second lap, when I was at the top of the hill (about a 1/4 mile away from home, if not a third) a loose dog ran by me. Oh, those people who don't keep their dogs on a leash.
It was Marley.
He escaped the yard, ran up the easement, jumped the rail, ran up the street, through the parking lot, into the park and up the gravel hill.
Marley doesn't usually escape so I was a bit surprised to have him at my side, and dismayed that he was utterly naked without so much as a collar to grab onto to lead him home.
If you've read the book or seen the movie Marley (which, btw, He was NOT named after. Marley is 9) they happen to have similar personalities.
A leash would have been helpful.
We made our way back home. The look on Matt's face was pretty fantastic when I returned with Marley. He'd only let him out a couple minutes earlier, and I'd already done one lap and was on my second when he came to find me. Funny dog.
I'm cooking up cajun sweet potato fries, salmon and I don't know..something else to go with it.
Twenty five more days and then I'm so having a brownie.
