Cooper the beast.

I'm house sitting for the next two days, not only house sitting but dog sitting and teen sitting as well.
What do 14 year old girls like to do?
Go to the mall, hang out with their friends? Anything else?
Boys?
Anyway, i'm not here so much to take care of her just to be another body at the home overnight.
My days are still free.
It's a pretty sweet deal, I didn't really feel like being at home anyways these next few days and their house is like my dream house tha I picture in my head. The kitchen is gorgeous! It's a small older house but the inside is completely decked out as if anthropologie was a house.
It's charming.
The dog that Im watching is the size of a bear. Standing on all fours he hits me at the hip. But he's not just skinny and tall he's huge around too. He literally is a beast!

So long furry friend.

Today we had to take Nikita to the vet again because she wasn't getting any better.
My mom called me at work to let me know that they had to put her down.
I'm so sad that I couldn't have been there and I didn't get to say good bye
let alone be stuck at work crying my eyes out.
She was the best dog for 15 years that anyone could have asked for.
I'm going to miss her so much always laying with me when I'm sick and
coming home and having her laying in the front lawn to say "hey nikita"
Anyway, Good bye wonderful wonderful dog.
I'm so glad that we could take you home from the humane society to be with us.

Happy New years.

What a fake holiday!
At least i got off work early
and i had a surprisingly fabulous new years eve!
Low key is way better.

k-9 less new years?

I came home late last night from work to find out that my 14 year old dog that we adopted at 4 months old is really really sick. She's been throwing up the whole evening and on into today and refuses to eat anything. I know she's old and has epilepsy that she takes medication for (which she won't take right now either) but I don't want my new year to start out with her gone!
I'm kind of flustered. Do I stay home with her and my family? Or go out with my new guy?
In a way I don't really want to be here in case anything happens, but I'll probably end up regretting that.

All i want for my 21 st birthday is

a jar of anti-wrinkle cream!
ok not exactly.
today while waiting in line at starbucks for my overpriced americano i ran into this woman and her daughter that i used to babysit. WOW she was all grown up like a teenager and i remember when she still had to go to bed at 7! i felt so old in that moment. 20 going on 50.

ASPCA vs. starving african children

i think those new ASPCA commercials make me feel more guilty for something i didnt do than those starving african kids commercials.

But that's why they are called Buckle jeans

i remeber why i hate working in retail during the holidays. The day before christmas i had a customer come down and i asked if she was finding everything alright when she exclaimed she was looking for buckle brand jeans. I said oh sorry they only carry those at the buckle. and then gave her easy to follow directions to the buckle. she then looked at me dead in the eyes and goes, no. the girls upstairs said they were down here and i said well maybe they meant the buckle was down here on this floor. and she looks at me with all the worlds hate in her eyes and lividly says no! i bought them down here last year! and i said well i dont know what to tell you but they only carry them at the buckle. so i take her to another employee and ask her if we carried buckle jeans and she gave her the same response as i had. the customer then hands on hip and eyes glowing red goes well i bought them down here last year you guys carry them i will bring them in and show you the reciept! as she finishes saying this in a manner to demean me as if im stupid i quickly come back I REALLY DONT APPRECIATE BEING SPOKEN TO LIKE THAT! and she just walks off. i love the christmas spirit working in retail brings.

The Handkerchief

whatever happened to the Handkerchief? Isnt that being green in one of its truest forms? take a lesson from your elders! is the world ready for a handkerchief comback? how many trees are used each year to make tissues?

Boots of Spanish Leather

"Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean,
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss,
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'."

Gorgeous eyes

I am a huge fan of Nude eyeshadow, but it has to be special! When i ran across this Bobbi Brown "Shimmering Nudes" palette I immediately fell in love. It contains such a great range of colors, beautiful for the holidays. I love love love the dark charcoal color on the far right, easy way to take this palette from day to evening.

Wes Anderson

"My project was to... find beauty in the flaws and vice versa"
While I was watching T.V. the other day
I spotted Wes Anderson in a T.V. Commercial.(and anyone who knows me knows I'm a HUGE Wes Anderson fan)
Whoever came up with the ad did a beautiful job of assembling it.
American Express right now is running a promotion called The Members Project.
The ad features all American Express cardholders that have all made a difference in the world. Their project is letting us vote towards charitable organizations, help vote your favorite organization into the top 5 and they will have a share of the 2.5 million that American Express is donating amongst them. I voted for the Alzheimer's Early Detection Matters since it's something my family is facing now.
Go check out The Members Project now and vote!

Emotion

No one sings with this much emotion anymore! You can see the veins in his forehead!

The perfect low heeled boot

I have searched all august for the perfect boot to wear this fall with dresses and jeans.
Finally after a grueling search I found them!
These Suede boots are perfect for all with a 12 inch calf circumference they are a bit roomier. The tan color (although they come in black and chocolate as well) is a great alternative to the darker brown boots out right now this way you can wear it with other brown hues or with all the popular greys that are coming out for fall 2008.
These boots are comfy and have the perfect slouch to them and cute belted embellishments! I can't wait to wear mine with fun tights. I believe they are 79.95

Phantom of the Opera

Today I went to go see The Phantom of the Opera at Keller Auditorium in Portland, Oregon.
It was fantastic. The last opera I went to was Aida and that was quite a while ago. I loved the special effects they used.

Comcast

Today I called to disconnect my old Comcast service at the house with the roommate I don't get a long with. When I called to have it disconnected I was told that an order for the disconnect had already been set in motion. So of course I got really upset they said that in order to verify account information she had to have my name and social and pretend to be me. So I talked to a comcast supervisor who went through the phone conversation and apparently they didn't even verify any information so her answer to me was "they didn't let go of any pertinent information" WELL THEY STILL ACCESSED MY ACCOUNT and her only thing she said was "sorry it was a mistake" it wasn't a mistake it was someone not doing their job. That could have been a huge lawsuit for them if they let go of my information at all. So Comcast thinks it's okay to let other people access your account turn your service off or on maybe even give out your personal information like your social security and billing information and it's just a mistake?

Reminder to self:

You work for a paycheck
not a Playcheck
so stop spending all your money!
