It’s been a while

I’m not sure why I haven’t updated over here recently…nothing much to say I guess….  I have been doing things.  Working on my lesson plans for next years classes – this is going to be great.  Working on my thesis – though not nearly as much as I’d wanted to.  Working on my running – I’m almost done with a 3 week program, woo hoo!!!  So I’ve been doing things.  We’ve also been doing things around the house.  We painted the hallway and yesterday we started constructing the fence.  When we moved in here no one but us had dogs and the fences were ancient chain link all rusted and ugly.  We put up some hog wire over the chain link because little Lols could jump the 3′ chain link.  That was good for the 3 months we’ve been here.  Now the other house has been sold and they have dogs.  Then, the neighbor on the other side is bringing over the boyfriends 2 dogs.  Yikes.  We are going to be surrounded by dogs.  So we decided to put up a wood fence.  This will keep the dogs from seeing each other all the time. They will still know the other is there by the smell but at least they won’t see them every time they walk across the yard or something.   So we put up one side yesterday, 21′ of fencing.  OMG!!  It was hard work and I was exhausted after.  It took us about 3 hours, which isn’t bad considering.  I was so hungry and tired last night.  This weekend we are going to put up 37′ on the other side.  Then there is just some small patches across the front.  I should be exhausted by the time Monday comes.
