help name the pup!

we have narrowed it down to mischka or juneau, what do you think?

is she a juneau?

or is she a mischka?

why i love my friends...

they make my life better by sending me text messages such as the following:

"True story! This flight attendant had a lady on her plane with a chihuahua and the dog was going all crazy and then suddenly was quiet. so she goes back to see what was going on and the owner was breast feeding her dog! So sick!"

after i got done throwing up, i had to admit, that was pretty damn funny.

i miss rocket...

rocket was my chinchilla (or as my good friend, chris krey, affectionately called him-the chimichanga) that ran away. i want to get another one, because they are so freaking cute!!!!!!

i mean, really, how can you resist this face?

if this little nugget isn't a tiny fragment of perfection, then i don't know what is...

i found this little guy listed on craigslist...so i hope a good family adopts him.

can this be real?!!!

dear hawaii,

hi, it's your friend october. i know it's been a while since we've last seen each other, but i thought i'd pay you a visit the day after tomorrow. i promise to bring with me some fall swells and more temperate weather. i'm just hoping you have time to squeeze me in for some quality time before the impending holidays. cause once i'm gone...we all know it's a landslide into the new year.

looking forward to the triple crown...

in honor of wet wednesdays...

in addition to being one of my favorite artists, jason mraz has an amazing blog on his website. he's a very talented writer, and a big advocate for living green and water conservation. lately, i've really been enjoying his 'wet wednesday' entries. they're dedicated to educating people on how we can do our part to save this precious resource.

so buy local.

conserve water.

remember: "the constant dripping of water wears away the stone" -sufi proverb

this might be too hard to resist...

so i occasionally cruise craigslist (who doesn't) looking for useless things to waste my money on. and i found this advertisement...

are you kidding me?! a german shepherd. in laie. it's so tempting...

i might have to go and check it out after work...
