Talk about being Bummed Out.

All good things must come to an end, but this is just ridiculous.

I jumped through so many hoops to find the "perfect" pet for Chayce. Well, here we are. And I'm very obviously allergic to our dog.

I haven't owned a dog in about 4 years. I was never allergic to animals before, had many pets as a kid. But since giving birth to Chayce I guess I've developed an allergy/sensitivity to pets and their dander. I tried to ignore it until the past few days, I can't even have the dog in my lap without my eyes itching.

This really is heartbreaking. I don't WANT to get rid of the dog, but for the sake of my health I need a hypoallergenic dog. A breed such as: Maltese, Shih Tzu, Yorkie, Poodle, etc.

I found a Yorki-Poo online today and I'm waiting on a response. But I'm really attatched to Tiki and hate to let him go. But why have a pet that you cant even hold?! I really didn't know I even had a pet allergy. I'm totally bummed out right now...

Movie Review Time: "The Unborn"

This movie sucked, sucked, SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!

DON'T waste your freakin' money. Seriously. It's less scary than the House of Wax movie with Paris Hilton in it, LOL. I wanted my money back for this. The actors, producers and creaters should all be ashamed of themselves for this. I'm warning you all before you think sometime soon, "Hey, that movie sounds good!" I thought so too. The previews are deceiving though. Take my word on this one, give it 6 months and you'll see it on TV to watch for free I'm sure.

Infront of the Camera

95 % of the time, I'm the person behind the camera.

Today I decided to be infront of it...

Yet still behind it.

So there ya' go, for those that haven't seen me recently.

Old Time Pottery

If you have an Old Time Pottery near you, you know what I mean when I say this place is AMAZING! They have the most STUNNING home decor, everything imaginable, for super low prices. The majority of my seasonal home decor comes from OTP. Well yesterday I decided to venture over there. We finally tossed out our Christmas tree this week (Rest Peacefully! 1996-2008) Had quite a long life for an artifical tree. But it was looking rough and we knew we needed a new one for next Christmas. Well, I got a 7.5 foot Pencil Pine (the skinny christmas trees) for only $15!

While I was there, I picked up some items to add to the "Office" (spare room) in the house. I got 2 pieces of wall art to hang above the desk. Took 2 different pictures, not sure which one shows the room better. It's the smallest room in the house, so it's rather hard to get a good photo of it in it's entirety. This is just the 1 wall of course.

One says, "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you are the world". I love this quote! And the other says, "A Mother's heart is a special place where her children have a home".

The lamp was originally $50 and I got it for $10, because there's a microscopic crack on it. So what did I do? Turn it around, DUH! You can't even see the crack unless you turn the lamp around and REALLY look. Worth it to me!

Then I got this wall sconce. It's on the wall directly behind the desk.

I'm trying to follow a "Natural" tone to the office. Greens and golds mostly. A different combo but it's relaxing with how the sun hits this room. I'm proud of all I got for sure! It's always nice to spice up a room. The little things do count! Now all I need is a new chair for the office. I spotted one I just fell in love with at Target but it's like $90. Yikes! Guess I'll shop around a bit first. Or just request it as a birthday gift. LOL!

Anywhoo, that said.... Get to Old Time Pottery if you have one! Take advantage of them while you can!

13 Days

So, in 13 days I will be celebrating my 23rd birthday.

This is the first year I've sat back and thought:

1. Wow, where did the time go?

2. I'm freakin' getting OLD!

Once I hit 25.... I'll deny my age from then on out. Mwahaha.

I know, I know... All you 30-somethings are reading this going "Oh SHUT UP!". But just remember:

1. you thought the same thing around my age (Am I REALLY 23?!).

2. And yes, you reall are THAT much older than me.

* LOL! *

Yum-O!

I adore Rachael Ray. I really do. I've talked about her a few times here on my blog, but the woman is a genius and I'm glad she was discovered and rose to fame, because I seriously wonder WHERE her ideas come from. She inspires me SO much!

Yesterday I was watching her show and they made something called "Taco Pockets". Basically, you make a burger (with some spices to make it more like a taco). Then you roll the burger in a tortilla along with your favorite taco toppings! Once you roll it up, you slice it in half to make these great little "pockets" (hence the name of the meal).

Tonight I'm going to use this idea to make them myself! Since we obviously don't eat meat, I'm not using her burger recipe. I'm using a black bean burger recipe, and adding some taco seasonings to it, and re-creating the dish to be vegetarian friendly.

Check out her genius idea!
