My day started with a 2-mile run with my favorite furry running pal, Koda. It's so great having him around. On days that I don't feel up to jogging, one look at Koda and I know there's a reason for me to lace up my running shoes. I often tell him- out loud- what a great running buddy I've got in him! No matter what time of day, rain or shine, even if he's napping, he's ALWAYS happy to go for a run. He jogged with me this winter when it was snowing outside, and he helped me get fresh air last year during times when I felt like holing up in my little apartment.

After our run today, I went to the Cherry Creek Arts Festival with Brandon. We enjoyed some art fair food, which included a skewer of fruit drizzled in chocolate. At the same booth, they offered frozen cheesecake on a stick. For those of you who don't know Brandon very well, he doesn't eat vegetables, and he LOVES dessert. He's especially fond of cinnamon rolls, strawberry rhubarb pie, and cheesecake. There's a quote out there that says, “Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.” Brandon embraces this philosophy to the fullest. He got some frozen cheesecake on a stick today, which I feel might be only a step up from deep-fried Snickers. For the record, Brandon's never had a deep-fried Snickers, but if given the opportunity, he says he would go for it.

Since Brandon accompanied me to an outdoor antiques flea market last weekend and the art fair this weekend, I told him I'd go to a movie with him. He's been wanting to see Die Hard and Transformers since seeing previews months ago, so he was kind enough to choose the lighter of the two today- Transformers. I was more of a fan of My Little Ponies and Care Bears back in the day, so was a bit nervous about seeing the movie. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself laughing and entertained throughout much of the movie.

Plus, I definitely prefer this guy over Bruce Willis.
