They always come in three's.

I recently got an offer to dogsit, and then another, and then another. I'm doing two of the three of them. 

I went shopping today at the mall for my friend's baby shower. My sister and I took Teaghan, who is not quite three, with us. We get to the mall and we're looking for a spot to park. And it has to my attention that whenever you pray for a spot; it comes immediately. It was awesome. Teaghan fell asleep on the way there so we walked around the mall and finally sat down by an elderly gentleman. As we sat down, he leaned over and said to us, "I wish I could sleep like that." I didn't notice at first but Teaghan was out like a light. She had her arms hanging lifeless and her mouth wide open. Then I pictured the old man being held by my sister in the same position as Teaghan. Soon his daughter came and offered to buy him a coffee. I thought to myself they're not that different after all. They both need extra rest, attention, and love.

An Early-Summer Night's Dream

So this week and the beginning of next week I'm dogsitting Jack. He's the sweetest dog I've watched and I've watched plenty of dogs in my career as a dogsitter and he is amazing. And as a bonus he lives with an amazing lady with an amazing house. So I get to stay in the lap of luxary for the next days relaxing and sipping wine in a huge bath tub listening to Mozart. What a way to begin the summer.

Something Nice, Something Shitty

If I were ever a store owner I would sell vintage clothing and the store would be called Something Nice, Something Shitty. I think it has a nice ring and it's also a saying of the White sisters. Whenever we wear something to go out in, we wear something nice and something shitty, well not really shitty but something plain that doesn't draw too much attention away from the nice garment we are wearing. I try to live everyday but this saying pretty much too. Do something nice, do something shitty. Eat something nice, eat something shitty and so on. So I'm going to do something nice now, my devos.

She's Crafty...and she's just my type.


I've been doing crafty things all day. I went with my sister to JoAnn's Fabrics. Afterward, I've been looking on etsy for creative gift ideas and grabbed some up. Thanks etsy! I will now leave you with an idea I got.

Two Peas in a Pod



My boyfriend, Ilya sent me a photo of himself and told me that a bug hit him in the eye while riding his bike last night. He woke up this morning with a swollen eye. I thought, "yah!! We can be twins with our swollen eyes." I'm attaching a picture of both our eyes. 

You can't really tell that my eyes are real swollen but they are. My friend Kate yesterday thought they were and I haven't seen her in awhile. If you look really close at the inner most part of my eyes that's where it's red and sore. I washed dishes with housewife gloves and rubbed my eyes afterward. Stupid. I know. 

So the moral of the story is to:
1. Stay alert when riding your bike. 
2. Don't rub your eyes after using house cleaning gloves.

What's wrong with today today??


I didn't have internet last night and I wanted to send my sister some pictures that I took at her school. Her school is the best. Teachers formed bands by grades and areas and competed in playing Rock Band. It was so much fun! I don't remember having that much fun in Elementary school. My sister is the one with the black wig.
