october?

2009-09-29T17:04:00.001-07:00

For the most part its October. Shocking really. The best part of october its that its almost halloween. Now I'm not the type that goes out and parties all night.... or dresses up (except for Anna's birthday and now Max's) but all the same its not like me to get WAY into it. One thing I do love to do is bake and dress up the Pug. Last year he was yoda. WAY CUTE. I went shopping at target and there is so many new outfits for him I think this year he's going to be a chicken..... or maybe a pig.

I really want to bake these.... I think its cute for all my vampire friends.

you can read her way fun blog here...

monday.

2009-09-28T15:27:00.000-07:00

monday and I'm home sick today..... been home sick for over a week I'm so OVER it. I've got lots to do. I don't have time for sickness. still have about 100 lbs to loose in 2 months and a wedding to work on. so this post sums up my attitude. I did take the pug on a long walk today that kinda helped. He got to play with his girlfriend. He's a happy boy ..... at least one of us is :)

this is my new favorite time vampire..... here. and where I stole the pictures.

62 days

2009-09-20T15:19:00.000-07:00

till this.......................... I would love to say that it was all taken care of ... that we were REEEAADDDDYyyyyyy to RRRRUUUMMMMble but that would be a bold face lie. I hate liars. I have so much to do still the list feels at times never ending. And just to slow down my ADD even more I feel like im getting sick. So I took the day off from everyone went spinning at 8 am came home and went back to bed. Thank god its Sunday because BRIDEZILLA's is on marathon and nothing is better than angry, chubby , bridezillas. OH and the EMMYS I love love LOVE all the fashion, the dresses, the hair. I'm on a bed ridden TV overload. WATCHOUT!

ps. i know you all know where this image is from best video of all time.

Willie wants me to have these for the wedding I know he does..... I can't find them in stores anymore but I am checking the super fancy BH shops today .... i NEED them... so cute uh. Maybe I can search for the on the interweb.

oh and P.S. they are jellies.... YA jellies.... amazing :)

more mountain pug ...

2009-07-07T17:47:00.000-07:00

this was the river view right in front of our cabin it was

so nice to hear it all night long.....

i got the wild idea to put a "glow stick" on the pug

it was so dark at night i felt like i couldn't see the wild

guy so i stuck a glow stick on him....he looked like a

raver... RAVER PUG :)

This was one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever been on so sad it was only a few days, but it felt like we were there for weeks. Willie wouldn't care much about this but all of our cell phone's had NO service for DAYS! Once we got over the shock of things not working ... we loved being totally UN- plugged it was really nice no computers , cell phones , facebooking (willie loves to facebook) wedding talking...... just good "ol' (as the big guy calls it) RADIO SILENCE" and it was nice. We didn't drive back on highway 1 that might be the drive from hell. My feelings are that hell is filled with huge clifts with no guard rails... so we drove a hour out of the way and went up to to Carmel , Monterey and took the 101 home way better just a little longer. but well worth it. I wanted the BIG GUY to stop at NEVERLAND it's right off the 101 to pay some respects to the king of pop, but we didn't we stoped at INN & OUT and got a grilled cheese.... that might have been better. Next trip Neverland Ranch :)

BIG SUR...

2009-07-07T01:02:00.000-07:00

We spent the 4th of july in Big Sur CA this weekend it was so much fun..... willie ran into the ocean with No fear. We camped ate hiked... drove we had a blast. here are a few pictures of the little guy chillin @ the beach more to come.....

2009-06-01T10:37:00.000-07:00

I lost a dear friend this week.... I loved him sometimes more than I loved my own father. Now I miss him like I miss my dad. Now I'm mad at him like I'm mad at my dad. He's gone and I miss him. we haven't talked for over a year, because I no longer talk to his daughter and I didn't ever feel right about calling him I took that for granted because part of me just figured that someday the dust would settle and I could reach out and call him ..... or I would be in maui and just stop in for a drink and a tofu scramble. That time has passed, the dust did settle and I'm angry. Worried about my friend who was like a sister to me. I know he's happy now and at peace. Peace will come in time for everyone else.

i wish i could go home and hug her, but i cant.

I'm a bad blogger.

2009-06-01T10:21:00.001-07:00

i just forget to post.... i read too many blogs, i forget about mine. here are a few pictures ( the first one is my favorite) of willie and his buddy bandit in san diego he's my brothers dog and they heart each other like crazy. ill try and be a better blogger!

APRIL

2009-04-13T16:48:00.000-07:00

life has been crazy these days... wedding planning, working .... just life! but here is a a update of what we have been doing. i made this bunny cake for easter it was so fun to make... i really didn't think i could do it but i did! the rest here well thats willie :) this one below is from today we were with my aunt for her birthday and this is their old girl annie , it was so cute to see them together. its like they know they are the same.

and this is how we found him one day when we both got home..... you would think that we never feed him. he's a cute chubby thing.

tuesday fun day

2009-03-10T21:20:00.000-07:00

so i got a new camera thanks to the big guy for my birthday... AMAZING, its a cannon G10. i don't even know how it works maybe a good idea if i read the book that came with it. then i could love it more. so here are a few from today. i spent the morning hiking with a long lost friend that i'm so happy to be re-connecting with. but i didn't take willie, for some reason i think mister chubby pants couldn't get up the hill its quite steep and i have a hard time getting up that thing. we had to go to the emergency vet last tuesday because of a ear infection that went south.. :( poor baby. the vet the called him "voluptuous" he's 21 LBS. *sigh* chubby baby. i thinks he's just "big boned".

more LA rain....

2009-02-17T11:58:00.001-08:00

like most dogs and people willie hates the rain, he's so LA. I on the other hand LOVE it. i haven't been blogging lately i've been in a wedding planning coma. I'm taking a break today. NO wedding work. this last picture i took this morning the sky was amazing we don't get much weather here in LA so when we do i have to document it. oh and the middle picture well i'm convinced that willie thinks he's a cat, he now has to sit on my head when i am sitting on sofa. that willie is a strange little guy but i love the crap out of him.

pugs. i heart them.

2009-02-08T12:44:00.000-08:00

i've been slacking on my blogging as of late, life has been super busy with life :(

but here is a blast from the past.... the first pug here is SEAMUS. we has my first baby he's no longer with us but he was a cute smelly guy, he often smelled like poop. but i loved him so much, he was a good boy.

the second little one is TILLY, she was my grandmas first pug she is the reason we all have pugs my grandma lives in hawaii since this doggie we have all had a pug my aunts uncles mom...AND me we are all pug CRAZY! and i love it.

oh happy day

2009-01-20T17:13:00.000-08:00

Today we made history. And after 8 years I am proud to say that I'm an American.

my brithday

2009-01-19T13:16:00.000-08:00

this weekend was my birthday it was a amazing weekend full of friends and food ( lot's of food ) so for the last party of the weekend chris got me this cake. it's so cute it hurts. last night i couldn't eat his little face however , i might break down later today it is red velvet. that can't sit around for very long :). the second picture is where we are getting married. i'm so happy. it's amazing.

I NEED THIS

2009-01-13T16:46:00.000-08:00

for my wedding.
So I'm getting married and its all I can think about... I've lost the will to interweb anything else than wedding blogs!!! One would say that I've lost my mind. I have. Really its hard to wrap your head around planing a event that everyone says you don't remember because it goes by so fast. And don't get me started on the price we plan on doing it for "cheap" but "cheap" is still the same price as a honda , down payment on a house , a 2 month long vacation in europe .... ( you get the point ) well I won't be that girl because ill have this. I plan on renting a pack of pugs along with Willie that look like this to walk me down the isle. And I'm sure it will make me happy and never forget my "big" day.

am I kidding?
um NO.
Im crazy like a lightning bolt!!!

a very merry christmas.

2008-12-30T19:44:00.000-08:00

Half of christmas was spent in San Diego at my brothers house and Willie found a new buddy Bandit. They were fast friends. You might notice how clean and luxurious Willie looks, that's because he had so much fun exploring my brother's yard with Bandit that he fell off a 4 ft. ledge and fell into the deep end of my brother's pool ( as you might know pugs cant swim ) so fully dresses I jumped in to save my baby. The pool temperature was at 40 degrees. It sucked! Willie liked if he got all dried up and went right back to playing ..... he's funny! I on the other hand took a "time out" with some wine and a chunk of cheese.

Hope you all had a merry christmas... and a happy new year. I cant wait to go out to dinner with our friends tomorrow night. A night filled with good friends some beef and champagne..... and maybe to end 2008 with a slumber party at Annas, Chris will have to get his PJ's ready :)

I have a good feeling about 2009!!!

rain day.

2008-12-15T15:33:00.000-08:00

i love the rain living in los angeles we don't get as much as i would like. willie on the other hand hates , hates , hates the rain. if i were a pug i would be puddle jumping up and down the street. but not him he looks at me , saying with his sad eyes " can we go back home now ill just poop in the living room" ...

the best

2008-12-15T13:57:00.000-08:00

2008-11-27T13:24:00.000-08:00

over the past week my live has changed for the better... I'm getting married its so strange to say that (strange in a good way) I'm so excited and so lucky to have found this man. The last few years have been the best years of my life so far and its only going to get better, he's my best friend and now he's going to be my husband, I'm a lucky girl. so in honor of being a wife i wiped up some serious shit for thanksgiving.... he's a lucky guy... and I heart him out of this world.
so i wanted this to look a little different not your average pie top... so i found a pastry top and punched some holes in my dough>
and the pie... finished. cherry rhubarb pie. Im very proud of this if you cant tell... I made this at 1:30 am last night, and almost ate it at 2:30 ... hee hee... !!
thanksgiving wouldn't be the same with out my Mom's dish.... broccoli casserole MMM ... goodness..
last here are some cookie's... the kind of exploded in the oven... oops but man are they good.. I have more food pictures to add .... maybe tomorrow, I gotta go eat!! Happy Thanksgiving I'm very thankful for everyone in my life...So is Willie and Hersh... she's hungry too!!

2008-11-11T11:46:00.000-08:00

When I started this blog the last thing I wanted to do is have this be my political soap box if you will. I feel very strong about this issue so I had to post this video on what i like to call "prop hate" This post has nothing to do with my pug... or his life, it has to do with my life and well when I'm sad that little guy is sad too... i feel like keith said everything I feel... just better than I can get the words out... its a very human issue..... here in California its a sad day when chicken's have more rights than a human, I'm a Vegetarian.

2008-11-10T10:27:00.000-08:00
