I am a procrastinator, I do not like to run, and I love to make jewelry. But, when I am facing a deadline, I tend to find justifiable things to do instead of the task at hand. For instance, when my roommates in college saw me cleaning, they knew I had a paper due or an exam the next day because I don’t like to clean. Today I am supposed to be in my studio cranking out more spring jewelry, but I went jogging instead. *Gasp!* I don’t like to jog even half a mile, but the weather is so nice and Riley needed some exercise so off we went through the park and along the river. She always pulls on the leash, so looping it around my waist keeps my arms free and helps me keep up my pace. I have been accused of cheating (even though I’m not on skates), but mostly I am greeted with chuckles from the others on the trail. The only thing I don’t like about running with a GSP is that she has to greet every woodland creature either by suddenly freezing in place (pointing) or chasing after it in a tangential direction from the trail.
Okay, now I’m heading back up to my studio… Honest!
