Walk for Doggies!
So, Isaac and I just finished the Humane Society walk with Dre and Kalia (rottweiler). Isaac is already asleep on the couch. :) Despite having a nasty cold, I had a great time.
It started off with Isaac being a big baby and crawling into my lap for the car ride, then he had some nervous pooping (right in the middle of the parking lot), which I happened to get on my finger because there was a hole in the bag (eeewww), Kalia barking at the fiddle player (I think she was saying "Stop playing that crap and turn on some Mariah Carey!"), and I guess Kalia got tired of the dog drool dripping down her face because she decided to slime my bare shoulder with it when I sat down.
Okay, so it doesn't sound like I had fun, but trust me, all of these incidents led to a giggle fest with myself and Dre. Dre even cleaned Kalia's dog drool off my shoulder...uhh...which she the wiped it on my shirt. Hmmm, good looking out, I guess, Dre?
It was chaos, dogs everywhere but they were all very well behaved (with the exception of one who didn't seem to like Kalia). We saw a couple other Aussie's but it took us a while to find another Rottie. And Isaac got his very first matching collar and leash! He seems pretty stoked about it. Of course, it's not the Coach collar that he's had his eye on for a while, but it'll do.
Blogging
So, I told a friend of mine and hubby's that I had started a blog. When I said that it's still coming along, he compared blogging to tending a garden...it takes a lot of work to get it to blossom. How funny, I had no idea how right he was! I think I've changed the layout, format, pictures, and words at least 10 times (I've only had my blog for about 5 days now).
Shout Out
A big shout out to the people who contributed to my Humane Society fund raising efforts. I had to raise my goal because your contributions exceeded my original one:
Mom; Mikey and Craig; Matt, Andrea, Tony, Kalia and Madison; The Gristina Family; The Kennerly Family; Heather; Jinx; Christina, Miguel, Carlos, Alexis, et al; Kevin, Megan, Del, Fish, Flea, and Flo; Obie
Thanks so much for your help!
My time with BA
So, here's a quick synopsis of my short time with Barratt:
First day, meet Ashley. 3rd day, Ashley has a baby and leaves me for a few months. I get Jen set up with Gmail chat. I get to talk to Kelly twice before she leaves (but fortunately I'm cool enough to go to dinner every month - Yay!!!). We have our Christmas party. Lots of people get layed off. Ashley comes back. Hilary gives me my new name badge and I lose it 5 minutes later. More people get let go. We have to clean models and water the plants now. More people get let go (including Hilary - good day for her, sad day for us) and I get "Not Technically" layed off. I find a new job. :D
Our name
Why is it when people ask me how I pronounce my last name I say "Byu-cha-lye" and they say "BOO-cha-lye"?
How Nikki got her name
The first time I held Nikki, she fell asleep with one eye open. It reminded me of a spy, very cautious - like she didn't quite trust me. Although I've never actually seen the show, I could only think of La Femme Nikkita - so Nikkita she became.
My mother-in-law is the best!
So, a couple of weeks ago hubby and I went out to dinner with my Mother-in-Law. I called her a Bitch and she called me a Whore. Good times. (I love you Jan!)
