A Dog's Life...

ok, so my whole, entire world has been turned upside-down. i don't know my front from my back, my left from my right, or anything. i'm stressed, tired and in desperate need of a nap....

all because i'm dog-sitting. yes, PCD opened up her big trap and said she'd keep her neighbor's dog for a whole week. and in my mind, i was genuinely excited about the idea because i feel like i want to own a dog one day. because he's old (5 years) and seemingly calm, i thought all would be cool. then i actually took my big-mouthedness a step further and said that i'd let him sleep at my house a FEW days in said week so he won't be crazy lonely. so why when i went to get his instructions for his feedings and stuff, was he packed to stay at my house for the whole week....dog bed, suitcase, food, dog book, emergency numbers, toys, medicine and all. so i calmly tried to let her know i just wanted him to sleep maybe a night or two at our house and she was like "no, he'll be fine."

CURSES!!! i always do this. i get myself into situations and sometimes find it hard to just shut stuff down. i mean, she went on and on about how he won't be lonely now and won't have separation issues cuz he'll be with us the whole time, blah, blah. so i was like-whatev. and he has the nerve to be cute!?!?! he's really not bad....its just the extra stuff that is now in my already jam-packed schedule. like, walking him 2 times a day (which was the minimum i expected to be doing), along with feeding, brushing, giving allergy meds, eye drops, ear wipes, bacon treats in the AM, biscuit treats at night, making sure he's not terrifying lil PCD, taking her build-a-bear buddy out from his tug-of-war grasp, keeping him from scratching my doors by putting up baby gates, and keeping him from snatching my baby's food off of her tray.

*le sigh* PCD"s life....is now...a dog's life

***WHAT'S THE LAST THING YOU'VE FOUND YOURSELF DOING THAT TURNED OUT TO BE MORE THAN YOU ANTICIPATED?***

This Weekend Was A Blast (Pic Post)

YAY! me, my mum and lil' PCD had a great time this weekend...did you? i took baby to the blueberry bash and even tho it was 3 skillion degrees outside (and i'm sooooooo not an outdoorsy type), we had so much fun! check it out!

this place was so country and cute! they had all these dogs and cats that belonged to the owners that were lounging around. i loved the signs and sights of fresh greenery

we met one of the cats on our way out of the little store...lil PCD just had to get up close

then onto blueberry picking we went! after showing baby which berries were ripe, she remembered and got really good at spotting ripe ones among the unripe ones without any assistance from me

and she put them into her bucket with no problems...she was so excited to be doing this by herself!

they had a country little band there too...of course, lil PCD loves music & her taste has yet to become discriminatory so she thought they were awesome-lol!

then we found some geese to feed...

and she even rode her first pony! all was well until 3/4 of the way around, our pony stopped dead in her tracks and wouldn't budge even after being pulled by the stable girl. after about 30 seconds of resisting, she began to pee this huge stream of loud pee...and to make matters worse, she pooted! i really had no idea that animals had audible gas issues. it was like a thunder clap! and once that happened, lil PCD was so over the ride, she screamed and reached for me, begging to get up...how gross to end up getting the pony with gas-bleh!

i loved how these colors looked...

these flowers were gorgeous! they were huge and i just had to get a shot of them!

as you can see, we had a blast and i think i lost about 3 pounds after sweating like a pig. i got a bit of a tan and a ton of blueberries and had a sugar fit after drinking 3 apple cider slushes and a blueberry iced tea.. so,

***WHAT YOU'D DO THIS WEEKEND?***

The Pretty Spotlight: The Ipod Touch

dear ipod touch, i'm in love with you.

now i'm no techy, but this is such a fabulous accessory that i really had to post about it today. hubby got me the Ipod Touch and i have been enamored with it for a number of reasons. the touch screen is so easy to work (even the type pad) and the format for everything is so highly organized, that it has become my new personal assistant. for men and their big hands, i must say that the type pad is a little slim, but after a little while, anyone could get the hang of it. (i did watch a man in the store type away with no hassle but he had 3 weeks of working it). i love how you can scroll thru your music by album cover. the calendar is well organized with various views that are super swell and of course...it looks so cool!







i highly recommend this to anyone who needs some organizational help and a place for their music. you'll be surprised how you'll use all of the other functions like navigation, youtube, weather and all. oh, and don't be sassy like me and think you can be lazy and purchase a stylus for touching buttons because that does not work-lol! and of course, i had to dress mine in a snazzy pink leather cover. TOO CUTE!!








***WHAT WAS YOUR LATEST TECHNOLOGICAL PURCHASE??? DO YOU LOVE IT?? HATE IT??? WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO PURCHASE IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY???***

Mommy & Me Day (Pictures) & I've Been Tagged!

so last week, baby and i went out to enjoy the fabulous weather. first, we went to have breakfast at one of my favorite places in the whole world-mmmmmm! it was great, except for the little girl who was seated with her family next to our table. she was overly-friendly with my baby. at first it was cute...she kept saying hello. then it went from there, to hugging & trying to touch her hair. i ushered my baby away, but the little girl stood breathing on my leg, stalking us. then she tried to buckle my kid into her highchair. it was weird...especially since her parents were right there just letting her continue. then she tried to kiss her *gasp* once her mum read my facial expression, she yelled to her kid "personal space, PERSONAL SPACE!" well, they thought it was cute, as they went on to explain that she does this everywhere they go whenever she sees another child. in their words, they said she almost tries to "devour" other kids...um, that's not cute. so i curtly said..."perhaps you should have another child of your own."


nonetheless, they exited and we had a WONDERFUL breakfast. next, it was off to adventure-land!! we (especially she) had so much fun! pictures below...

kitty over at young & reckless has tagged my bum-bum...so here goes:

Here are the rules:

1. Link the person who tagged you…

2. Mention the rules in your blog…

3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours

4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them

5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged

Here are 6 things you may or may not know about PCD:

1) a while back in my old apartment, it was raining mexicans...literally. my slumlord hired non-contract workers to fix up the place above me and they didn't know what they were doing, so on thanksgiving, a mexican man came crashing thru my kitchen ceiling, blanketing my entire apartment (and my all-white pet cat, star jones) in dust.

2) i had surgery once where my lungs had to be collapsed. when i came out, it was the worst feeling. having your lungs collapsed then reinflated feels like a 2-ton person is sitting on your chest

3) i missed the first four months of my pregnancy due to negligent doctors...meaning, it wasn't confirmed that i was pregnant until i was 4 months along...(loooooooong & crazy story)

4) i sued my ex-slumlord and won...but have yet to collect one thin dime from that sleazy bloke

5) i once hydroplaned speeding in the rain while headed home with an a acquaintance following me. while my car lifted then came back down, the person behind me wasn't so lucky. they lifted then spun and hit a pole...i watched it all in horror

and Finally 6) i hate cilantro!!! the thought of it makes me dry-heave....i think its one of the worst herbs EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now, i tag 12kyle, mizrepresent, queen, poca, elle, lady, F-it and BGG (yes, i know i added extras)
