Irish eyes are smilin'...

Do I really even need to write anything about these pictures?

I didn't think so.

For those who don't believe I actually have a boyfriend, here is a terrible pic of us that same evening.

Sorry baby...I promise I'll put a better one up once you get a haircut...

Khaki!

UPDATE:

I was not able to keep Khaki due to my long hours at work but she is back at her foster mommy's house where she is very spoiled! I am confident she will find a good home soon.




SO I am officially in love. Yesterday, I adopted (on a trial basis) a 4 month old puppy named Khaki. She is a Border collie / Aussie mix. I'm not going to lie, it's not easy but I'm so glad I did as she is such a love. She's very mellow so I was questioning her border collieness until I gave her a pull toy...see video #1

We had our first trip to the park and she had a blast chasing "love bugs", I think she might have eaten one or two. She has already learned sit and stay (sometimes). She also learned to squeak and whine when she goes in her crate...Shannon...help! She walks pretty well on a leash and minds very well, she's all about making her person happy. We've had no accidents in the house and she goes immediately during our walks.

Chico gets along pretty well with her, put her in her place once but generally just ignores her. Chad is pretending to hate her. He hisses and puffs up and acts all tough but when she walks away he follows her around...stalker.

This morning she hung out in the bathroom while I showered and now loves the hairdryer, if I point it at her she bites at the air and jumps around to play with it.

Maggie's face says it all...

So I thought I had actually found a potential roommate on roommates.com...until we started emailing. He sent me an email (all lower case) telling me that he is responsible and clean and that he smokes outside only (red flag #1), then he tells me that he is a sous chef in the best restaurant in town but did not provide the name (red flag #2). He then proceeds to tell me that he has two kids and keeps them every other weekend (red flag #3). He concludes his email asking to meet in a public place and that he's good looking, well dressed and reliable (red flag #4)...seriously, is this a dating site? I'm strongly considering getting a second job for the next 6 months to avoid being hacked up and stored in my freezer by one of these crazies out there.

Sad to report...

Kelly will be moving out soon and I will be the crazy cat lady all by myself again...No more road humps...I've posted an ad on roommates.com and the responses so far are scary at best. Seriously, do normal people exist in Houston? I'm just looking for a professional man or woman without any serious mental issues or addictions...

Unhappy New Year

Sorry to report, but due to a lovely bout with a cold and a sinus infection, I was unable to attend the BLT NYE Holiday party here in Houston. But don't fret, ALL of my friends attended and left me alone without a even a single "Happy New Year" text at midnight...thanks again guys. I'll leave the part about the 2:45 am call to pick people up out as I could go on for hours about that and the fact that Houston is the biggest piece of SH*! city in the U.S. for not having ANY taxi's available at a venue of that size. So to make it all better I have decided to post a picture of Tawny because she looks like I feel today. I'll write my year at a glance once my meds kick in.

Update, today (January 2nd) I got a speeding from Houston's finest. Funny that he was not out the other night when I was trying to avoid being smashed into by all of the drunks a$$holes on the road at 2:45 am!!!

Hayden's First Christmas

My beautiful nephew, Hayden, opening his Christmas presents. I think he preferred the wrapping paper and boxes to the toys but hey...

On the 12th Bar of Christmas...

Not actaully sure which bar we were at, but we were definitely not feeling any pain.

Yes, Kelly is licking the bear!

Howl at the Moon

G, Michael and Kelly at Howl at the Moon for Rob's 30th Birthday. Yes, I was drunk and NO, Michael is not taller than us, we were just doing him a favor by not towering over him for a change.

Chico

This is Chico, my 12 year old companion. He is the main cause of my insomnia...I think he's going deaf and wants to hear himself...at 2AM!!!

Thing 1 & Thing 2

During my last visit with my perfect little nephew, Hayden, I had the pleaure of viewing one of my favorite "dog shows", the Nemo and Taboo review!
