Ross, Mexicans, and IHOP

I started the morning early because I had to pick up a filing cabinet I bought off of craigslist. I even loaded the thing into a truck by myself! I love having muscles.

Ross needed help putting together lawn signs, so I bought some stakes at Home Depot and picked up Megan so she could help. I met Ben, the intern on Ross' campaign and really like him. I think he's going to work hard and be great and coordinating volunteers. Plus, I think it will be fun to have my own intern to make him do things. Actually, I think it will be great to have help. I hope I can teach him what I learned 2 years ago.

Megan and I went back to my house on the west side to eat lunch and rest. We watched, "Raise your Voice" with Hilary Duff and loved every minute of it!

The Hispanic community on the west side was having a Cinco de Mayo festival and I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to take Titus out. It was fun to hear only Spanish and understand what was going on. Titus was a very good boy and really friendly with the children who wanted to pet him.

When we first got there, Titus saw another dog and started barking. I firmly told him no and he stopped--he didn't bark after that (even after seeing other dogs). He's so smart! He got tired of walking and kept trying to have me carry him. We went to Petsmart after the park and I spent $72 on Titus. He got a new bed, dog treats, a bone, and some other things. It's fun to spoil him!

Since Brian asked me to do some work on the house today, Megan and I pulled carpet out of one of the rooms. Scott came over and helped too! He's not as delicate as some may think. When Brian came home, we all went out to IHOP to eat.
