The pups are getting older and don't seem to mind that much if I'm home all the time so I've been trying to get out a little more. In the last month or so I've gone to hear Bill Richardson speak at Rice and heard Rachel Maddow speak at the Progressive Forum. I've also been to the ballet for a performance of The Rite of Spring and seen The Merchant of Venice at Baker Shakespeare.
The roommate situation is working out better than expected. C is such a delight to have around. He inspires me to eat healthier. He says the same thing about me. I've been using my new Vitamix everyday. Last week (5 days) I did a green drink "fast." Technically not a fast but I'm going to call it that anyway. I tried to just drink 2 green drinks a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. I did cheat a little by having some fruit for lunch but still managed to lose 7 lbs. After taking the weekend off, I'm going to try it again this week.
On a sad note, two of my kitties have disappeared, the gray kitty, Cinza and the female Siamese.  I still have the tiger mother cat and the fluffy male Siamese plus a very vocal orange male cat has become a regular. I need to trap him and get him fixed but I don't have a trap anymore.
