I'm very thankful to God that Katie survived the earthquake in Haiti. She's in a hospital in Florida now, with her family.

I've been exhausted this week.

Lazy Days

So far this week I've been pretty lazy. I know, I know, it's only two days into the week, but so far I have really slept in both yesterday and today. I should start going to sleep before 2am! That's part of my problem. Tonight I'm going to try and get ready for bed around 11pm, instead of after 1am.

It's looking like Monday's, Thursday's, and Sunday's are going to be my lazy days for 'fashion'. If I start getting up earlier on Monday's, I'll have time to spend on choosing what to wear and do makeup.

Ruby's 1st Day of School

Well, today was Ruby and my first day of training school. I gave her an anti-anxiety/travel anxiety supplement about half an hour before heading down to class. It didn't appear to work at all, though. She refused to take the pill before we headed home. Poor baby got sick several times, and pooped in her crate on the way down. I wish I'd brought a couple of towels, or a roll of paper towels. She did alright in class. We probably would have done better if I'd been more prepared for her getting so sick. I now have baby wipes! She did fine with 'sit' but we're struggling on the 'down' command. I get her to sit, and then I do what everyone says to get her to lie down, but she pops back up from her sit, and just lowers her head or, at most, her front legs. I can't seem to get her to lower her bottom and her front at the same time.

I plan on practicing 'sit' and especially 'down' with her this week. I also really plan on working with her on getting acclimated to being in the vehicle. Step 1, get her to get in the vehicle on her own (with coaxing using treats)!

After we got home she got a much needed bath, poor thing. Her crate pad, giraffe, and long chew rope all went through the washing machine. My dad sprayed/rinsed out her crate, and I washed the rest of her crate.

Al's Memorial

My parents and I went to Al's Memorial service today. Learned a bunch about him, like that he original went to bible college to be a minister. Although, that makes me feel a bit better, that he does rest in peace in Heaven. Heard some stories about Al. I wish I'd had the chance to hear more stories. My mom thinks that Al may have been the IBM guy @ the PUD back in the day.

Girly Stuff:
I think I'm going to modify how I do this part just a bit. I'll start with putting a list of the makeup used, then how I applied it.
Clinique powder
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
Oil of Olay eyeshadow
Ulta eyeshadow
Stila
Benefit Get Bent Lash mascara
MAC
Clinique

Cleaning/Organizing:
I spent about 40 (concentrated) minutes on cleaning/organizing my bathroom. Probably spent about another 20 minutes off and on doing little things in the bathroom. Sadly, you can't really tell. But I did get rid of a lot of empty bottles from the bathroom. My goal is to get the 2 center drawers cleaned and organized for ease of use and finding things. I'm sick and tired of spending all my time looking for specific makeup items. I also want to clean/organize my desk in my bedroom so that it's partially usable for school/desk type items and partially usable as a makeup vanity. Wish me luck!

I got my hair permed again today. It's been 6.5 months since the last time I got it permed.
