Husky

Most of you know I am often thinking about huskies.  I see them all over the place in town and on our travels and try to sneak in photos whenever I can.  This morning when I opened the curtains I saw that the neighbour across the street had a good looking white one!  A HUSKY RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET!  I would have actually run out to see it but I was still in my nightie.

For "fun" I like to look on craigslist to see what kind of pups are posted.  This is one I found this morning.  Too funny.

FOUND TIMBER WOLF:
I was chased down by a fat uncooperative Timber Wolf today at the park at Jacinto and Center Parkway. He found my husky appealing and they played while we waited for Animal control who never showed up because apparently me sitting in the rain waiting for 2 hours isn't their concern. Timber Wolf did NOT like sitting in the dug out, and so I leashed him up and drug him howling and fighting home. I put him in my dogs kennel and then lifted the monsterous beast onto my truck and sent my husband to the local shelter on bradshaw to drop the fluffy smelly monstrosity of a dog off. Earlier at the park the dog jumped into the pond, so he's wet, and has a whine like no other dog I have heard. He's a good dog, never bit me, or showed anything but a lustfull interest in my... girl parts, and the girl parts of my husky. Any ways, if you lost this dog, as he looks to be expensive, groomed (and now a mess), he will be at my house. Yes my house. Not the shelter. Why you ask? Because one shelter was closed, and the shelter that was opened refused to take your pretty pooch on account of he was not found in their area. If you want your dog before animal control gets here (within 3 day )email me for the address of where your horney, giant, smelly, very sweet dog is. BTW I'm only assumign it's a timber wolf, it MIGHT be a husky. Black and white, and humping all over. probably weighs 70-80 lbs. VERY furry. Furry like, I can't take a shower because I'll clog the drain. Furry like I'm going to have to vacuum myself. Furry like I lost my son in his fur as he was petting him and will be needing him back. 

Hubba hubba

The new Nordstrom catalogue arrived yesterday and it's full of summery goodies like this one piece swimsuit.

Marc Jacobs : Interesting take on the peplum trend.

The same print is available as a romper, which is also cute for lounging around at home.

I would really appreciate it if someone would buy these and hang out with me so I can look at you wearing it.  I can't wear a one-piece swimsuit or romper to save my life without having to hunch over to make it "fit".  The woes of having a long torso.

I was browsing on asos.com and came across some curious clothing finds.

This is the most unflattering pose I've ever seen!  To be fair, the outfit is awful.

If I ever go back to Canada, I know what I'll be buying to stay warm.

I have a strong urge to use a sharpie.

Regular price: $445 | Sale price: $54.00 . I wonder why?!

In shopping news, I will soon be able to actually shop again instead of just browsing endlessly online!  I was offered a job and start in 3 weeks once my background check has been completed.  

Not to get too personal but I have to tell you that the stress of not being able to find a job immediately and having personal savings nearly run out is something I haven't ever experienced before.  A couple of weeks ago I finally decided that I may as well apply for unemployment benefits to see if I'd be eligible. Thankfully, I found out on Saturday that I'd been approved and will be getting a little bit of money from them until I start my job.  It was/is a huge relief.  V even said, "Now that you've been approved for unemployment, you'll get offered a job."  He was right!

I am very lucky and thankful that my Mr. has been able to take care of us both.  He has never ever complained about it or made me feel bad and has constantly told me that things will always work out.  I'm happy that soon I'll finally be able to contribute financially to our family! I'm also very thankful to have such great friends who have listened to me whine about my job search and helped me keep a positive outlook throughout the whole search.  

Grey hair and walkers

We saw the Beach Boys on Friday and it was fun!  I saw a lady with a mullet, a lady making giant bubbles with a huge wand, some goths who didn't look happy to be there and an older man who was super, super pumped about the show who I suspect may have been hard of hearing because he kept cupping his hands to his ears while dancing.  It was great!

V made shirts for his pals and they were a hit.  My camera died when it was time to take a photo of everyone wearing their shirt but a friend managed to get a quick snap.

Superfans

Party pals

Power couple

Fans, fans, everywhere.

We were having a great time.  Seriously.

Clickety clack

We're going to see the Beach Boys tonight and will be staying overnight in Berkeley so we don't have to drive home late at night and we can enjoy two days of possible beach time instead of one.  I hope I'll get to peek inside Anthropologie and Paper Source and that we'll get to eat at Cheeseboard again.  Here's the pizza they're serving this weekend:

FRIDAY 6/1

Roma tomatoes, Red onions, Bulgarian feta cheese, Mozzarella, Lemon juice and zest, Cilantro, Garlic olive oil.

SATURDAY 6/2

Red bell peppers, Corn, Onion, French feta cheese, Mozzarella, Cilantro, Garlic olive oil.

I hope you have a great weekend!  Here are some interesting links I saw online this week:

Moving to San Francisco? Here's a funny guide.

Pretty dress

A video of Bodie, the K9 pup that was shot a couple of weeks ago hobbling around with his cast.  He's received over $30,000 in donations for his care!

An expensive T-shirt.

This sounds like a bad idea and a good way to lose friends.

A chat about this week's Mad Men.  The episode was so good ! I liked how they did the flashback thing with Don talking to Joan.  Everything that happened was very unexpected.

Funny combined names on wedding announcements.

I'm excited for this big dance party in Sacramento.

Organised

Sometimes I get a really strong urge to go through my things and get rid of anything I haven't used.  Usually this happens when my clothes get really disorganized and I can't find anything to wear even though I know I have a perfectly good outfit hiding under a pile of sweaters.  Or ice skates taking up a giant tupperware box.

Found some loose change.

Taking an extended vacation to Goodwill.

I clean things out every 4-6 months.  Yesterday I started with my bedroom closet.  I had a dress in there that I haven't worn since 2001.  2001!  The style is nice-ish and it fits but the fabric is so awful that it went in the giveaway pile.  I also had a brown cotton dress with gold sequins on the bust and a drop waist.  Drop waists look terrible on me.  Giveaway pile.

Beliveau Barracudas!.

Last weekend some ladies and I were looking at some old photos.  I'm trying to decide which photos to keep and which to toss.  I have two giant boxes filled with photos and journals and other notes from grade school through University.  What do I do with all those things?  I only look at them when I'm trying to clean out the house and then they go back in their bin.  And yearbooks?  I have 6 of them.  Do you still have yours?  I'm considering getting rid of mine.

WHAT?

I don't care if they're Missoni. $70 for a plastic-y flip flop is ridiculous.  I might reconsider if these came with a purple or pink strap.

Gross to sexy

I love watching horror movies but grossness for the sake of grossness is a waste of time.  I'm a little behind (get it?) but I finally watched Human Centipede II.  It's on Netflix streaming.  I saw it in 2 installments because halfway through V came home from work and I didn't want him to have to see someone's tendons being pulled out of their knees (and also because I was very, very ashamed).  It really was one of the worst (as in bad) horror movies I've seen.  The story was weak.  I prefer the ones that are tense as opposed to super gross.

This is the main character.  His body made my stomach churn but I was still able to sleep last night.

One of the most disturbing horror movies I've seen is Martyrs.  Have you seen it? It is really violent and tense.  I saw it a few years ago but I remember cringing at some of the final scenes.  I recommend it if you have a very strong stomach and brain.  Just when you think the worst is over, there is a whole other level of awfulness.

On a completely different movie note, we watched a Beach Boys movie with some pals last night in preparation(?)/anticipation (?) for the show on Friday.  I liked it.  I barely know anything about the Beach Boys.  Maybe because I didn't really listen to them growing up.  I don't think my parents did either but I could be wrong about that.  I remember mainly listening to reggae records, Sergio Mendes, George Michael and dance/pop music when I was younger.  

What a hunk.
