My canine family in photos

These are few photos from my home. I want to share them so my Oregon family can get an idea of my life and the canines involved in it!


The handsome dog on the right is mine. His name is Oscar Mayer Wiener officially. But we all call him Wiener. The Maltese is Ziggy, and the doxy on the left is Gustafson Aloyiscious.

This is our little house in Huntington Beach. We live on a quiet street just 5 miles from the ocean.

This photo was taken last year during one of our slumber parties in the living room. You can see the head of my Wiener dog, and the legs of Gussie. It looks like a super long dachshund who is slightly twisted! We were all hanging out one night watching a movie on the floor. I wish I were doing that right now actually. Good times.

I am Legend

Normally I don't walk out of a movie theater. Tonight was the exception.

My boyfriend got to choose the movie tonight and he was excited to see "I am Legend" starring Will Smith. I knew nothing about the movie but after a quick synopsis from Yahoo Movies I had a bad feeling about it before we even got to the theater. Needless to say, my gut instinct was right and I had to leave the theater about 45 minutes into it. I waited out the remainder of the movie at Barnes & Noble, and Danny finished it alone.

What's wrong with it, you say? Why do all the movie reviews give it high ratings and yet Christinker couldn't stand it? Quite honestly, there is nothing wrong with the movie. It was actually well made and Will Smith did a good job acting. The problem was with me. I just can't watch scary movies with zombie-like creatures and suspense around every corner. I'm a chick-flick girl and I should have known better.

In short, husbands/boyfriends, please watch this one on your own...or be kind and suggest something like National Treasure that we can all enjoy.

Only 10 days until Christmas!

I'm so excited for Christmas. I love all of the family gatherings, holiday food and giving gifts. I did all of my shopping online this year and every gift has been delivered already. I'm so proud of myself because I've never been this early. I just have to wrap everything now and I'm definitely taking my time getting to that.

Sorry I've been absent from the blog world for the past 10 days. I've been working some overtime shifts at the hotel to make extra money for the holidays. I just finished a 6 hour shift as a banquet server for a 950 person holiday party. This party was amazing. There was a live Caribbean band, flamenco dancers and and festive decorations of red, orange and green. Our hotel usually doesn't have events that big with so many people so the banquet staff was bustling and chaotic. I had a great time and the 6 hours went by so fast. But now my feet ache. It's 11pm and I hate to say it, but I'm going to bed now. What a boring Saturday night, but who am I kidding. I'm not a spring chicken anymore! Haha, I'll be 27 in less than one month. Eek!

I'm sick

Happy Tuesday night to everyone. I've officially been stuck at home sick for the whole day. I had a sore throat which started before Thanksgiving and I haven't been able to kick it. Finally I went to the doctor today for some antibiotics, but not before I completely lost my voice! I guess that's what it finally took to convince me that this head-cold wasn't going away. Apparently I have a sinus infection that is dripping on my vocal chords and thus my voice has disappeared. If you find it, let me know. I'm dying to talk on the phone again!!

My quote of the day for Wednesday is:
"A goal with no deadline is merely a dream".

Ponder that!

Gotta love Sundays!

I think Sunday is my favorite day of the week. I love sleeping in late and having breakfast at 12noon with a fire and a football game. I hope everyone has a fantastic Monday!
