We’re still getting settled.
Remember my post about silly animal paintings? Danielle wanted me to paint her two sweet cats, Chowder and Maxine, shortly after we moved into the new house. I tackled the project in my first little bit of free time: Next in line are my friends Taylor (who has an adorable dog named Nellie) and Katie (who owns two beautiful dogs named Sam and Mia). I'm pretty excited; dogs are my favorite. Several health and beauty related posts are on the way, I promise. Between looking for jobs and the frequent trips to target/marshalls/kroger/walmart, I haven't had much spare time for...
I’m kind of a worrywart.
As someone who refuses to watch the news, who abhors meeting new people, and who cringes at the mention of 2012, I can honestly say that I'm one of the most fearful people that I know. I've never cared for that flaw in my personality, and I've recently started to hate it. So, logically, I'm going to something about it. I'd guess that about 97% of the things that I worry about cannot be prevented, changed or stopped by me. That's ridiculous, and it's also really bad for my health. Did you know that people who worry about things that...
Any dog shampoo experts out there?
Clementine and Winston, my sweet dogs, have a big bad flea problem every year around this time. We've been using Hydrosurge Oatmeal Soothing Shampoo from Walmart (I'm not proud of that; it doesn't have the best ingredients). It's not relieving their itching at all, and it's certainly not killing the fleas. We have resorted to using dish detergent, which kills the fleas. Still, I'm very uneasy about using something that's made for washing dishes on my dogs. I also think that it's making their skin dry (duh.) and, as a result, more itchy. I've...
something fun
A couple of months ago, I painted a silly picture of my dogs to hang in my room. My friend Kyle seemed to really like it, so I painted a picture of his two cats and gave it to him for Christmas. My friend Selena mentioned casually that she would like to have one after Kyle opened his, so I painted her two dogs and gave it to her as a present as well. A few days ago, my friend Nikki asked if I would paint her dog too. I did so yesterday, and gave it to her last night....
We didn’t even tell ghost stories, and I still enjoyed myself.
I went camping with my friends, my dogs, and my boyfriend last weekend. It was magical! the highlights: I got to spend time with two of my sisters. They are big fun. Clementine had the time of her life. Winston was climbing on everything within reach of his stubby little legs. Amidst all the beautiful nature, we found this rock that looked suspiciously like a penis. Kirby got stuck on a rock wall for a minute. Yes, she has a dog backback. It carried her treats, portable bowl, and a small amount of water. We got a chance to rough it like big strong men. It consisted of blueberry...
