miss audrey hepburn

such a classy lady. i'm so excited about having her with me everyday. xoxo

chicago, i love you! i miss the city already. i'll post some pictures from my trip as soon as i can. BUSY...that has been me lately. i returned home to find out my sweet little wilma missed me so much that her anxiety caused her to crash through our bedroom window. luckily she wasn't injured in her escape. her nerves were shot. instead of a relaxing weekend, as husband had anticipated, he spent most of it repairing our house and cleaning up vomit and diarrhea. poor wilma and husband. the vet gave us anti-depressants for her last week and suggested that we think about getting her a companion to make her separation from us less stressful. two trips to the pound later, and after several "play" interviews with many puppies, wilma chose her a sister. look at miss violet. isn't she such a lovely girl?


they've already become fast friends, and wilma doesn't even notice when we leave now. i guess sometimes all the medicine we really need is friendship.

lookie lookie....a new coat to keep me warm in chicago.

i love ebay.
somehow i have survived the winter with only a hoodie....and the whole sickness thing comes as a surprise? i should have known better.
husband forced me to clean out our closet the other day. enforced mainly because my clothing routine has recently consisted of digging through a huge pile of mess to find my favorite knee sock or said hoodie. i love that damn hoodie. if only it were warmer. out with the old, in with the new. i can find my shit now... it feels good.
other randomness...
i've had this strange attraction to beards lately.
husband's beard was well on its way.

but, then he spitefully shaved it.
boobies for bedtime.

thanks to everyone for all the well wishes. and, yes i'm feeling lots better! i've been putting off shooting a new set for fear of scary dark circles...but, now it's on!
in other news...i'm going to chicago the first week in march...yay! anyone want to show me around town?

so very, very sick. this winter has kicked my immune system's ass. before this winter, i can't even remember the last time i was ill. if you'll remember i went to the doctor just a few weeks ago. fuck, why didn't i finish my medicine? they always emphasize that you finish the entire bottle or your sickness will come back with a vengeance. i've always been really weird about taking pills. the doctor says "take six a day", and i say "three should be sufficient." what the fuck is my problem? i haven't left the house in two entire days. i did muster the strength to mope my way to the couch for a change of scenery... only to throw up on the coffee table. trust me, no one was impressed. husband has been looking at me with this "don't cough my way, why are you wearing hello kitty earmuffs in the house glare." i don't blame him. i feel loopy and i'm pretty sure i look the same.
bright side...at least i have those leftover antibiotics. i'm taking all those bitches this time. be thinking of me please, oh, please.

wilma ate part of the "holy bible" today. the other part she shredded throughout the house. i think it's definite proof that all dogs do not go to heaven. i'm not even quite sure where she found it. i'm afraid to throw it out though. our next door neighbor is a minister...what if part of it escapes from the trash can on the curb and ends up in his yard. we're already the tattooed freaks next door. i 've been known to wear only a pair of panties and a t-shirt when i walk the dog...and husband's answer to a smile and a wave is usually a disturbing look of confusion. we don't need anymore assumptions.

ooh...almost forgot...shooting a new set. very excited

i spent the majority of yesterday in bed with the first two seasons of the office....and wilma. my car got a flat on saturday night and unfortunately one of the bolts was stripped, prohibiting us from changing it without the assistance of a professional. i never realized how frustrating being without a car can be. if i lived in a bigger city i'm sure things would be different. in my little town there really isn't much of a public transportation system. i could always call a cab, i guess.....but i'm not quite sure the cabi would be up for sitting in the starbucks drive thru line so i can feed my chai tea addiction. or, i suppose, i could take the bus. i know we have one....i mean...i've seen bus stops here...but never a bus. how can this be? not to mention, everything is rather spread out. what a bill i would acquire simply running errands! sometimes i'm really disappointed living here. our downtown looks abandoned if not for the puddles of puke left by late night drinkers. this place does have its perks though...no traffic, low crime rate, surprisingly enough an actual music scene, friendly people, and of course it's very own suicide girl...tehehehe (yes, i'm the only one...it's very lonely...somebody come see me before i burst into flames from all this excitement )

so i'm interested....where do you live? what do you love about that place....what do you despise?

ps...check out james's latest set "reflections". that girl steals my heart.
