Mika in bed

You know you want to take her home.

I’ve contacted Boxer rescue already. If you know of a good home, I’ll drive her anywhere.

We are down one puppy and one sketchy room mate. Davis, the roommate, went to New York on a “business” trip. I volunteered to take care of Mika the boxer puppy because she’s a sweet dog that was underfed, neglected and I didn’t want her being locked in a cage for six days while he was gone. The other, smaller puppy Davis had a friend take care of. Davis was supposed to be back on Tuesday night.

Wednesday we got a phone call from Davis. He was offered a great job opportunity and wouldn’t be coming back. He said his friend offered to take Mika, but Andy and I felt any friend of Davis would probably not offer the best placement for Mika. So, suckers that we are, asked if we could find her a home.

She’s a purebred, but I doubt we’ll be getting any papers. We’re getting her spayed and up to date on all her shots in the next few weeks. She’s super smart, affectionate and a really great dog. So, if you know anyone who would make a good mom or dad for our foster dog, let me know. I’ll drive her anywhere if it’s the right fit.

I should be posting pictures tonight or tomorrow.

And as far as me not updating for eight days….nothing new happened. The best I’ve got is that there was an earthquake in Columbia, so my Spanish lessons were put on hold for two days, and for whatever reason, Bikram wasn’t as hard as it usually is yesterday. See, boring.

It has been brought to my attention that I haven’t updated in a while. I guess for an avid reader, I only know of one (who totally never updates his blog), a week is a long time.

It’s been interesting and crazy since we moved in here on the 15th. Since I’ve been involved in the interesting and crazy, documenting it has fallen by the wayside. We now live with a boyfriend and girlfriend, a guy, a girl, one boxer puppy, one schnauzer puppy, a chiuhauha and two cats. The chiuhauha dislikes the boxer and the cats dislike both puppies. Two of the room mates own an ice cream truck which is parked out front. One room mate is a stripper and came home sobbing yesterday. She went directly to her room and closed the door. We were eating dinner and no one else seemed concerned. I guess it’s not an unusual event.

I’ve been taking Spanish lessons through 1to1languages.com. $99 unlimited lessons a month over Skype. It’s a pretty sweet deal and is improving my Spanish radically.

I’ve also still be doing alot of Bikram Yoga, at least four or five times a week.

Boring, I know.

Before I go out in the world today to forage for food and pick up my free birthday fragrance compliments of Aveda, I have one more thing to share.

I got this for my birthday from Andy. I am in love with my husband. He is an awesome guy.

I’m back again. I forgot if I even told you that I was leaving. I spent the weekend with a bunch of couchsurfers in Sequoia National Park. From LA it was supposed to take about four hours. Someone, okay, I put the wrong destination in the GPS adding about a 5 hour detour to our trip. We were almost in San Francisco.

There’s plenty of material for stories, but, now, I just don’t feel like it. Here’s some pictures if you’re interested.

My mom has this lamp priced at $40. I’m shocked that it’s not selling! We bought this lamp as a gift for my grandmother when I was seven. I’ll be thirty seven this month. I don’t know if you can tell from the picture but those plastic strings have beads of oil sliding down them like rain. The lady is dusty, oily and some of the strings are broken. The motor is making motor noises and the whole contraption smells like the lower well of Jiffy Lube. I really think that $40 is a steal, but if any one wants it, for you guys only, I’ll throw in a few weird funnel things that were used to fill up an ancient humidifier, a thirty year old Halloween scarecrow from the attic, a few old school telephones and a bag of mystery wires.

I’m leaving for Vegas in an hour.
