Clutter
Dug out my winter clothes today.
Which led to me cleaning out my closet.
Like REALLY cleaning out my closet.
And finding some great things buried in there.
And finding some great things buried in there.
Why am I keeping stuff that brings back memories of bad times?
I actually have an entire section of my closet which I have been avoiding because there is 1 shirt over there which reminds me of something awful. Get rid of it girl! Seriously.
And then I started feeling guilty for getting rid of stuff.
BUT then I thought more and realized by keeping stuff I am never EVER going to wear I am actually being selfish because someone else could be using it to keep warm in this winter.
I am lucky enough to work in fashion design and always have a plethora of clothes.
I have so many winter clothes...lots of old ones that are kinda beat.....I want to go out tonight and give them to homeless people.
Need to find a big burly friend to come with me and protect me.
Any takers?
....I guess I could take Bettie.
Eating Dog Food, Buying Roses For My GF, And Secret Admirers
Lady at the pet food store: "Hopefully your dog likes this kind and it doesn't make her sick."
Me: "Oh it's actually for both of us."
She laughs
Me: "It's so much better than what they served in prison."
Haha! Making friends.
And I got roses for my super amazing girlfriend. I still can't believe how amazing she is. Oh, did I mention she is amazing? Amazing.
And I got my arm painted with henna at the company work picnic today which was super rad.
What a great week!

Also someone left this note on my car under my windshield wipers on Thursday...pretty darn nice...

Bettie
According to Greek mythology humans were originally created with 4 arms, 4 legs, and a head with 2 faces. Fearing their power Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves. I think Zeus split me into a labradoodle and a human by accident when he was drunk one night.
I arrived on his farm somewhere outside Lethbridge in a field beside another field and closeish to some more fields. This man with the world's worst comb-over hairdo comes out of the house. Should have been clue number 2 that I was about to purchase a 50 pound dog that sheds like a hair blizzard. He went and got her and put her in my arms. She was warm and damp. My black t-shirt was COVERED in dog hair. She looked up at me like, "PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME HERE WITH THIS CREEPY DUDE!"
So I took her home.
He said I could take her that night and pay him later and that she was the last puppy of the batch to leave....riiiiiiight. Seriously, I am pretty sure she is a Mexican street dog that he found somewhere. She is probably a terrier or a wolf-hound mutt.
The first year was insane. She did her thing- traumatizing me by peeing in the elevator, eating a GIANT hole in my wall(how did such a tiny dog make such a HUGE hole?!?!?), chewing all the base boards, tearing the carpet up, crying every single night while I tried kennel training her. Now that she is a three year old adult I can say with immense joy that all she does is sleep and ask for belly rubs. It was like one day she was purely satanic and wanted to ruin my home and the next she was like, "Belly scratch??" That day was the best day of my life lol thanks Zeus
She is the goofiest, sweetest dog ever now. She has giant old-man eyebrows. All of her frizz fell out except for a natural frizzy mohawk perfectly placed on her head.
Good things sometimes come from strange places.
Here is a pic of her from the first week I brought her home. Those eyes.
