The fabulous Ani sent a goodie box that was out of this world for my birthday. I’m amazed at how well my bloggy girlfriends know me! She sent a beautiful shell bracelet, a cutie owl charm (which is now living on my tote bag), a cool photo bracelet, a ladybug shaped container of bubble bath,…

Jon showed me this article and I just can’t get over this dog! He’s Sam, a Chinese Crested and he’s won the Ugliest Dog contest for 3 years straight. Here’s the article. Now some people say that my pugs are so ugly they are cute, and I love dogs, but dag, this little guy looks…

I love it when I get a belated birthday gift- stretches the holiday into a week or longer. I’m open for celebrating my birthday all month long! Monday I received a fabulous box of goodies from Ani (I’ll post pics tomorrow) and today I received my present from Miss Lisa. This gorgeous necklace from Red…

This afternoon my mom, Morgan & I went to check out this new swanky neighborhood that’s going up down the road from my mom’s house. We’re talking homes starting at $500k.

I just have to share this photo of my little sister Sara and my nephew Jake. No doubting who his mama is! Look at that gorgeous hair!

I’ve been on 3 interviews this week alone. They’ve made me think of all the interviews I used to give. I was a human resource manager for a grocery store chain for 4 years. I hired at the store level and would also go and open stores- do mass hires where I’d interview 30-40 people…

Ok so it has been rumored that I, ahem, snore. Not just snore, but drool, talk, and make a variety of quite unlady like noises while I sleep. Jon snores like a bear so this isn’t a problem at home, but it hit me that around this time next year we’ll be sharing a hotel…
