I am resolving to slow down this year.

This all started the day that I discovered I had ruined my dog.

She has an active disinterest in food, and since I believe that everyone should eat, regardless of leg count, it is a dismal part of my day to see her avoid that food dish.  I find that sitting down on the floor for a few minutes, offering up little pieces of food by hand and speaking some type of falsetto baby language gets her excited about the process.  The only problem is that she enjoys it too much, and now insists on this “temporary” solution.

And, that was just what I was doing the other day.  I was hand feeding the dog.

So, there I sat…conflicted and contemplating this unnatural human behavior.  At least that is what I thought about for the first 20 seconds.  Most of that time I was somewhere else entirely. I imagined, amongst other things, my “to-do” list blooming in my computer.  One 20 second interval brought five more items to put on my grocery list and three more tasks to place neatly on its keys.

I begged my pregnant brain not to forget them before I got off of the floor.
