Letter to the mutt
Amos,
You are cute beyond description, sappy as any sappy tree, and you smell great since Ross gave you a bath. But if you wake us up to "go potty" at 3AM but then just mess around and fake pee because you thought it'd be fun to take a stroll at that time of night ever again, I will wake YOU up at 3AM "just for funsies" everyday for a week.

Advantages to "poverty"
I'm not going to pretend that I enjoy being poor, because I don't. What I wouldn't give to hop on over to Nordstrom and replace my deteriorating Citizens of Humanity jeans... but I can't and so I won't. I miss having a nice, casual pair of denim that can turn slightly dressy when paired with the right top. But on the bright side, I've " ( Read more... ) -
Holy cow, oil changes are expensive!
I was way overdue for an oil change on my trusty little Hyundai. I also just so happened to have a few $10 off coupons for Jiffy Lube services. Well, instead of calling ahead to inquire as to what the original cost of one of their signature oil changes would be, I just drove on over after dropping Ross off at the capitol this morning. I've had ( Read more... ) -
Busy bee, weird bee
I've been a busy little bee this week so far. I applied for a few jobs yesterday, two of which are for positions at the local SPCA. I applied to be a volunteer Airport Greeter for an international adoption agency today, and I'm getting ready to meet with someone at a local career college. The career college thing is what makes me a weird bee. ( Read more... ) -
Sacramento photographers... for semi-inexpensive?
I don't want to get into how frustrated/angry/disappointed that my husband and I missed out on the last Sacramento Groupon deal for a $65 photo session (valued at $300+), because we dilly-dallied. No, I really don't, because I just don't want to focus on that right now... it makes me super sad-faced ( Read more... ) -
You're so good, but so, so bad...
Ross and I were just talking yesterday about how good of a dog Amos has become. Just a sweet little snugglebug whose biggest vice is getting into the trash. Of course, this can be remedied by locking the kitchen trashcan in the bathroom when we have to step out and leave Amos by himself. However, when we're home it's not a problem ( Read more... ) -
Hello, FlyLady!
Okay, I'm going to sound incredibly domestic right now. Just a heads up.
Since I'm a substitute teacher I'm unemployed during the summer. Seeing as how I haven't had much luck in finding a summer job (damn job economy!), I'm home ALL DAY LONG. I always wake up with the intention of making the apartment sparkle, but the end of the day rolls ( Read more... ) -
Really, LA?
Part of the reason I don't much care for some sporting events: How Lakers fan celebrate victories.
I mean, seriously? Who does that? Isn't a more normal reaction to a victory, I don't know... something that doesn't involve crime? Breaking windows and lighting trash cans on fire is not an acceptable way to express happiness. Maybe it's just me.

No, no, no... It's just all wrong.
I came across a Facebook group today that's dedicated to the memory of a boy who was set to graduate from my old high school a couple weeks ago. On his way to his last day of school, his brother drove him while under the influence of alcohol. They crashed, the grad-to-be died.
Well, on this Facebook page there are numerous threads about court ( Read more... )
