Michael Vick: Worthless Vile Despicable

Reinstated by NFL commissioner. Shame on you Roger Goodell. I honestly can't believe they let him get away with this so easily... what a way to set an example.

*Vick participated in the killing of dogs that didn’t perform well in test fights by shooting, hanging, drowning or slamming them to the ground.

Donating Hair.

I had my hair cut today intending to donate the hair to Locks of Love... but after doing some research I've decided to donate it to "Children with Hairloss" instead. I thought it was only 8"inches in length, but turns out it's really 14"... awesome.

Corpus Christi Texas Trash



People, you really need to pick up after yourselves. THERE IS NO EXCUSE. There are trash receptacles EVERYWHERE. In 30 minutes I collected over 30lbs of trash.

-Plastic soda bottles
-Glass beer bottles
-pieces of sharp glass lodged in the sand
-straws
-gloves
-plastic eating utensils
-styrofoam
-fast food boxes & cups
-plastic bottle caps
-aluminum cans
-plastic bags:over 40 of these
-foam
-bicycle tires
-bicycle handbars
-wire hangers
-a tangled mess of red cable..........
- DOG FECES

I took my dog with me but I do clean up after him. Is it illegal to post pictures of people not cleaning up after their dogs? I captured a few photos today.

Neutered fake flowers crazy yo

We adopted 2 pups from a local animal shelter and tomorrow they return to get their stitches out. They got neutered last week. Titan has grown to love them and this morning I found all three of them sleeping together in the dog house. I was afraid Titan would be jealous and worried we would have trouble introducing them to each other but they have been great. I can't believe my little chocolate love is already 3 years old, and the two puppies are barely 4 months old, but man are they growing fast.

This weather is driving me crazy. My herb garden is not too happy with the colder weather. My basil looks so sad and the parsley is dying. The only thing that doesn't mind the colder temperature is the rosemary, which is cool because basil and rosemary are the two that I pick at the most. And I started a little cacti garden! It's my favorite. I bought a few from Home Depot and I love them even though they have FAKE flowers hot glued to the tops of them. I did buy a few that have real flowers and one has started to bloom bright pink - looks so pretty. I will take pics today.

One of our outdoor cats captured a gigantic mouse. I'm not even sure if it was a mouse, it looked more like a fat white hamster. I must have been somebody's pet. The other day there were about 20 hawks circling above. I'm guessing they were after the squirrels (and maybe the hamster/fat white mouse!?) I saw them chasing after a seagull, poor thing was screeching and trying it's best to get away but those hawks are CRAZY YO.

Ps.

I love frozen apple juice. I want one of those COOL sno cone making machines. I love raspas.

And quit staring at my lunch...

Thank you for the compliment but I do mind when you touch my hair - I just don't say anything because I don't want to come across as bitchy.
I don't like it when complete strangers call me "Sweetheart, Darling, Honey, Sweetie."
I dislike it when a certain someone calls me "MOM" - I AM NOT A MOTHER.

This past weekend I told a friend that you reminded me of Oompa Loompa and this morning you were singing a song from Willy Wonka ... I thought that was awesome. You are so annoying.

Reminder to self.

Don't check your work email from home ever again.

A client had a complaint about how the company that I work for is conducting business and I sent a message voicing the customers concerns to the appropriate people above me. They all seem annoyed that I even mentioned it to them and are pretty much telling me that they don't give a f* and that I should have kept it to myself.
I like my job, and I like the majority of my coworkers, but sometimes I really am ashamed to say that I work for this damn company. I am so so so sorry.
