Opening Day- Red Sox

Today is opening day for the red sox in Boston. I live downtown and it amazes me how many people come down around Fenway who don't have tickets to the game. People leave work early, hang out in the streets, go to the local restaurants and bars all for a baseball game that they aren't going to.. It just seems crazy to me! I know it is because I am not a sports person but every year it amazes me! Who is going to opening day today? Anyone out there?

Rain, Rain, Go Away

I just wanted to let any future dog owner that potty training your puppy on rainy days is the worst! 

Poser Stole My Job?

POSER:

1.one who pretends to be someone whose not. 2. who tries to fit in but with exaggeration

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?page=1&term=poser

Not to long ago I came in contact with my first poser. Here are the red flags that I missed.

1. Name dropped
2. Talked about large companies that supposedly wanted to work with him
3. Made me his secretary
4. Told my boss to eliminate my position
5. Never spoke to me about any problems with my work/position
6. Once I lost my job he lied to me saying he didn't know why my position was eliminated

Posers are out there folks.... watch out for them! If you meet someone and the first thing that comes out of their mouth is a "famous" persons name RUN...

Puppy vs Baby

Where do you draw the line between a puppy being a dog and a puppy being a baby?

Tanner, my puppy, will be two months old tomorrow. He is so young and I can't think about leaving him alone yet. I mean would you leave a two month old baby alone? Every time Tanner looks at me my heart breaks. He is my "child". I know people say you can put him in his cage and he his fine alone but how do they know that? It is not like the puppy gets in the cage and tells you not to worry he/she is fine. We all just assume they are. Let me tell you if someone had put me in a cage and left me for hours when I was two months old I would not be okay! Yes, I know that I can't spend every second with him but I want to create a trust/bond between us before I start leaving him alone. Am I going overboard? Possibly, I know but it is so hard not to.

My mother passed away two years ago and since then I really haven't felt much until Tanner came into my life. Growing up I was petrified of dogs. My best friend and I went to our friends house once to see all the new puppies and I freaked out. I was standing  on top a chair because they all kept licking my feet. I must of looked so dumb! It wasn't until my family went away with another family who had a golden retriever that I learned to love dogs.

My best friend in Arizona has an English bulldog and she was the one who told me that a dog would change my life for the better. She couldn't of been more right! Thank you ML.. love u!

Tanner- My Puppy

I finally got my puppy on Sunday. I am glad it took two years because Tanner is perfect in every way!
Will write more later ... he is sleeping and I don't want to wake the little guy up.... xoxo

Twilight: The Movie

If you can even believe it I have not read the book because I didn't think I would enjoy it. I am so sorry for judging because if the movie is even half as good as the book I will be happy. Twilight is the best movie I have seen in a long time. The chemistry between Bella and Edward is beautiful. It is believable, intense, you can feel for them both of them during the whole movie!

Usually movies never live up to the book but this movie is written wonderfully and the actors were made for their parts. There was not one character that bothered me. The father and daughter relationship was also scripted and acted perfectly. I have such bad ADD and this is the first movie in a long time where I didn't play on my computer, flip through a magazine, etc. I am going to buy the book tomorrow! I recommend the movie... I will tell you how I feel about the book as soon as I am done!

The movie reminded me of emotions that I felt so many times. First love with someone you never imagined, extreme closeness to my mother, love and distance with my father...

Handle With Care

As I told you all last week the new Jodi Picoult book had just come out. I just finished it this morning and I am still in shock. I am a fast reader and if I like a book I get so into it that I don't want to do anything but read. It is a little over 400 pages (yes I read it in 3 days) and never once was I least bit bored.
It deals with so many issues and Jodi Picoult has an amazing grace to the way she touches upon each one. Some of the issues are family, death, disability, trust, love, eating issues... trust me there are more. It never seems to much though and it unravels beautifully!

The story is about how far a person would go if they loved someone and who could get crushed on the way. Charlotte and Sean O'Keefe have one daughter from Charlotte's previous marriage, Amelia. They want to have a child together but Charlotte is 38 years old and they are not having luck. Charlotte's best friend Piper takes Charlotte on as a patient since she is an ob/gyn. The O'keefes give birth to a daughter named Willow who is born with severe osteogenesis. She was born with seven broken bones and suffer hundreds of broken bones as grows up. Did Piper not see this earlier?

The family struggles with covering medical expenses and seeing Willow not being able to be like everyone else. Charlotte ends up meeting a laywer who suggests she files a wrongful birth suit. That is when the story takes its turn. You see in depth how each person is affected. Amelia, Willow's half sister, gets overshadowed by Wilow's disease and how Amelia deals with this. Each character is developed so well that you feel like you are in the town with them.

Truly an amazing way Jodi Picoult can write from so many different prespectives. Even if you are not a fan of reading you have to try to read this book. Parents, kids, doctors, anyone who has ever wondered if they were loved, everyone will take something from this book.
