1/18/10 ♥

On the 18th, we put Sam to sleep. Her hips were getting really bad and the arthritis medicine to vet gave to us wasn't helping much at all. The last snow we got, she fell outside so if it would snow she wouldn't go outside unless we helped her. I had eleven WONDERFUL years with her and I'll miss her everyday. Riley is unsure of what to do. Sam wasn't the nicest to her the past couple years but she was just playing Queen Bee. It's weird not having her around, not hearing her walk down the hall if someone is cooking in the kitchen, and definitely weird not putting her to bed every night in my parent's room. Hey Sam, I'll always love you. Stay near.

happy new year!

the new year brought about a lot of healthy changes. that doesn't just
cover the diet aspect either. im rekindling friendships, starting new
relationships, living life the fullest. i figure sleep can happen when
im dead and you only live once, so here we go!

new years eve was a blast. i won't let taco bell (grumble grumble)
bring me down so other than that, it was a great night. champagne toast
at midnight, loads of uv blue and sprite, and games of flip cup. which
i am surprisingly good at, by the way! even drunk!! well, i hate beer
pong so i guess flip cup it is.

hope you guys keep all your resolutions! i know im trying my hardest
to. xoxoxo

happy thanksgiving

this year has been one hot mess after another. i'm ready for the new. thanksgiving is the beginning of the crazy holiday season, which i love. come monday i'm putting up the christmas tree, taking all the fall decorations down, and turning on the lights i've already hung up.

the holidays are the only thing i have to hold onto as sad as it sounds. really can't get any worse than this, can it?

AHHH, HALLOWEEN <3

im sitting here on my lunch break enjoying a V8 fusion. pretty good
stuff. im not a fan of the regular V8 (BLECHHHH). this is strawberry
banana and i could drink it everyday.

anyways, what's up? long time no see. halloween is tomorrow and im
REALLY excited. i bought a french maid costume. i need to run around
tonight and finish getting things together for it. it's really short so
i need some spanx type underwear to wear under it (or really short black
shorts, like dance ones). it's a playboy costume and im SO excited that
it fit. kyla is having a party but ill probably end up at the bar after
that. first halloween that I've actually done something so yay.

hope all is well and maybe ill make this more priority. :) we will
see.

first day of spring? NOT

last weekend we were in toronto to see a few shows for canadian music
week. it was hipster paradise. okay, so a little more so than usual.
we did a lot of shopping, drinking, and eating. friday night we had
dinner with the twins at jack astor's. i can only describe it as a
higher class applebee's. by higher class i do mean a little more
pricey. while we waited for the twins, i bought a round of shots (holla
butter crowns. wait until chicago thans, just you wait) and a drink.
$25, not bad. i spent $100 on dinner for ash and i.....what did i eat?
it was good.

we had sushi on saturday. it's what i wanted, just once, while being in
toronto. we don't have any place that serves it other than fishbones
and i don't like theirs. i tried eel. it sounds worse than what it
tastes like. it was bbq. so good. i also had some salmon rolls (i
think philly rolls, i don't remember). MMM RAW FISH. honestly, you
wouldn't even be able to tell it was raw. one of the appetizers on the
boat had raw salmon and it was delicious.

we saw the ting tings and then ash and i ventured out with sarah and
tonya for a bit. we wanted to party until 4 a.m., they were serving til
then that night, but we all pooped out. went back and passed out. it
was a blast and i could so see myself living in toronto!!!

next up, tinted windows in chicago. what a shit show it will be!!!
