If I'm this obsessed with my dog imagine how I'll be when I have a real kid

Lily went kite flying on Saturday. To say the least she was not amused with the activity. And yes, she is wearing an asian print dress.

Sometimes customers aren't so bad

Today I was showing a very nice lady where the astrology books are located in the store. When we arrived at the section there was another woman standing directly in front of it, blocking every title on the shelf from view. After asking her politely to move a few times and getting no response at all my customer, I mean my new favorite customer in the whole damn world, told her "If you are just going to camp out here and block everyone from looking at the books I can go get you a tent from REI. I think it would make it clear to every one else that these are your's and no one but you can shop for an astrology book."

The other woman just stared at her blankly and wandered off. I, however, threw myself on my favorite customer, proclaimed her my one true Lord God and offered to sacrifice a kitten in her name.

Just a gentle reminder

My birthday is in 5 days.

Lily's turn

Her tongue is smaller, but equally as cute as Tangi's.

Got my gift...

...and every single one of you were wrong.

My adult gift (that Mom decided in the end to give me all of) is a set of 12 lead crystal glasses.

Mom gets on these weird kicks every few years or so. A few years ago it was jewelry, she got upset that we had no heirloom jewelry to pass down to future generations. So every Christmas for about the past 4 or 5 years I was given a piece of jewelry that is to be passed down to my kids and then on to their kids, etc etc etc.

Now the kick is lead crystal (I'm not complaining) so every Christmas for the next few I'll be getting some lead crystal thing.

I could really use a fancy iced tea pitcher next year Mom.
