This is a story of a night we threw beads.

On Tuesday i went out and celebrated Fat Tuesday. It's been awhile since i went out and did something for Mardi Gras. I think the last time was when i actually went to New Orleans a few years ago with some friends from church. I pretty much went out with some friends to hear my friend, Jason, perform and then we went to go see a friend who bartends at a local bar. I got to hang out with a friend from my childhood and it was really great to do that. It brought back old memories and i am sad that i missed out on about 10 years of friendship. So here a few pics from the night :c) Enjoy!

This is a story about dog shampoo.

So during one of my many trips to Petco i came across a product that had me laughing and what is even funnier is that i considered buying it for Snowflake.

Yes ... you are looking at it correctly. Salon shampoo for dogs (and other grooming products) from bedhead and Paul Mitchell. I knew about the the Paul Mitchell because Snowflake's groomer did not recommend it. She had heard it causes the dogs hair to fall out. Let's hope it is not the same for humans :) Well Snowflake already has an issue with her hair. She is a hypoallergenic dog so she is not supposed to shed and she sheds like craaaazy!!! I fell in love with the pethead products. I think the packaging is what got me. But Snowflake already has shampoo so pethead is staying at Petco.

Life here has pretty much slowed down which is great. I've been staying home but that is starting to get boring. When you have a go go go life things kinda get boring when everything slows down. But it's looking like it's going to pick back up. I have something to do for the next three weekends and will probably be penciling more stuff along the way.

Oh and today while sitting in my Popular Culture class i was thinking about how i am loving art history. I took this class as a second class so i could get my financial aide and now i am putting in my form to add art history as a minor. I know it's random ... math/actuarial and art history. now i am even considering getting a masters and phd in art history but we'll see. I might change my mind again. typical me. lol. so there is not much more to tell. Hopefully life will get a little more interesting. I get a blog and nothing happens except run in with pet products and it might get exciting for a second.

This is a story of a pot hole in my road.

have you ever had a moment where you take a step back and you evaluate your life and you come to realize that you are not where you'd like to be and that you have a list of fifty gazillion things you would love to change but you want all these changes to happen tomorrow but when you realize that tomorrow will be the same as today you just feel hopeless? Yep ... that is how i am feeling at this moment ... sigh

This is a story about a bad destruction.

Poor bear ... he didn't even have a chance.

This is the story of wishing y'all a Happy Belated Valentine's Day

Or as i like to say ... happy single awareness day! lol

Love heidi and snowflake

This is the story of my bad dog, Snowflake Louise Longtin.

Meet Snowflake

My West Highland White Terrier

She is about 1.25 years old and i have had her for a little over a year. Some of you have had the pleasure to meet her (at least she thinks it is a pleasure) or were able to hear her many adventures in making mom's life a living nightmare.

She is the typical puppy or i hope the typical puppy and has had her share of enjoying my make-up, my shoes, my dining room table, my craft stuff, other people's make-up, my carpet, my buttons on my clothes, random paper, half a pack of sugar free gum, my cell phone charger, almost my laptop cord and her fav, underwear (ew).

Her favorite past time is barking at the vacuum cleaner, people outside, at me for not doing what she wants or anything that is not supposed to be there like towels on the counters, boxes on the bed, or a mop/broom in the corner.

But in the end i love her to pieces and whenever she does wrong she can turn up the cute factor to the max and pretty much make me forget what she has done to get her in so much trouble. She is a pro when it comes to that. So check back often. I am pretty sure she will be the main topic in many more entries. Woof!

This is the story of possibly a new home.

So back in December i went to visit my bestfriend in Atlanta and while there we went to go visit his friend's new place which happened to be a loft. I absolutely loved her place. Since then i can not stop thinking about moving in a new place ... more specifically a loft. Just the idea of an open space, natural light and hardwood floors just have me wanting to move NOW! The thing is ... my lease is not up until August techinically it should have been up yesterday but since i transferred over to a two bedroom my lease started over ugh!!! But that didn't stop me from calling 11th street lofts and making an appt to go take a looksie at their pads. I am really excited and hopefully everything will work out so that maybe i can have a new place called home soon. YAY!!!
