Yay, two ebay sales! That, and I donated more stuff, got another $3 off any Value Village sale $10 more coupon out of that, and got my VV savings pass fully stamped! This means anything I buy total will be 30% off!

Somebody left a nice comment on my blog! Yay!

I am registered for Anime Expo now!

$35 worth of scratch tickets = A $190 payout.

the satisfaction of unoading 660 pounds worth of green waste

I am back safe from my trip.

Found a Seattle Mariners batting practice cap, which has been on my want list for a while. Oh, and I got a Montreal Alouettes (CFL) jersey off ebay, saving me about $60 had I got it from CFL's online store instead.

After spending a month wondering whether or not to turn my Homestuck shirt into a pillow, I decided to finally wear it. http://www.welovefine.com/8110-pimps-in-the-crib.html#.U7ORL7FCy0w (click). After washing it, it is really soft and comfortable. Fits me perfectly too. Might be my new favorite shirt.

can just relax today and surf the web.

i went with my lazy, indoorsy sister to the gym today for the first time.
it was funny seeing her be completely clueless as to how to turn on the treadmill, where everything was, etc

certain types of things happen often for me..
this is one. this time in a posting..

a single yellow rose.
june 28 was the one year of my golden retriever passing.
i picked him from a litter when he was 8 weeks.
he was the one hiding under a wreck at a salvage yard.

a rescue type thing.
they were not purebred, the guy was just dumping them.
i had no intention of getting a dog.
this was back in my turbo days when i was trying out for human.
he made me laugh when he stuck his nose out from under.

he taught me a lot about just breathing.
he drove me nuts as a puppy.
one day he chewed anything rubber off my 10speed.
even shredded tires and tubes.
i locked him in his kennel all day. i hadn't used it before.

later that night i let him out while I grilled outside.
he got into my flower garden and harvested everything.
then he walked up, tail tucked, and dropped a flower.
a single yellow rose.
it was the most perfect shape of all the ones he tore off.
dropped it at my feet and laid there looking up.
i shoud have punished him.
but he made me laugh.

we camped and hiked all year long, those days.
he went on jobs with me. everything together.
he was my friend.
for 15 years.
yeah, the stupid 'man and his dog story'.
it only means something to me.
he made sense of things no one else could.

so.. this particular june 28 morning i had walked out to the field.
to the spot where he sleeps for a year.
and laid a single yellow rose for him.
it made something sad ... a little happier.

and later that same day the post was online.

so that sort of hit me.
these things do happen.
i guess if one pays attention, they happen.

dumb, but true.
story of my life.

I can do what I want today. Anything is possible...

a dog playing the piano. : )

my hamster cages are spick and span.
