Loo Thats Who

Legend has it that the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is an "enchanted" dog, and certainly this must be true! 'Tis said he was used by the fairies and elves of Wales to pull fairy coaches, work fairy cattle, and serve as a steed for the fairy warriors. Even today those people with keen eyes and understanding hearts may see the marks of the "fairy saddle" in the coat over the shoulders.

It was fate.

So we have a new addition to the family of loo! Bonny came to us via Matts Mom, who used to breed corgi's. Bonnys Mom could not care for her anymore and surrendered her back to Matt's Mother. We met her this weekend and instantly fell in love and we decided to adopt her.

How could we not!


So, seems corgis are a-holes. As adorable as Bonny is, she can be a twerp. We brought her to Matts fathers house, who has a 125 lb black lab and a 100 bound pit bull. Bonny apparently thinks shes the alpha pickle head and tries to take on both of them AND successfully intimidates them into submission. They spent the rest of the weekend avoiding her! This made me nervous about Demi and what she might do. Well, the first introduction went as expected *hiss BARK BARK hiss* then Demi looking at Matt and I with that "you gotta be effin kidding me" little Siamese face she has. Then Matt called me upstairs to show me THIS. Ummm great but it lasted about 30 seconds and Demi attacked Bonny and Bonny is now scared shitless and refuses to come upstairs or anywhere around Dem.

The dog that took on 225 pounds of dog is scared of the five pound cat. Now that is Karma.

Her other funny behavior is that she barks when people leave, not when they come in but leave! It is really funny. She also HATES when someone leaves the car even if someone is staying in there with her, she still goes nuts. We are thinking she has a little separation anxiety. She is also a bit aggressive towards strangers and other dogs, we are hoping that once she gets settled and isn't so insecure she will be better with this. She is a great dog and I feel so bad for the owner that had to give her up, she is such a happy love bug and very well behaved. Matt and I are lucky to have her!

Today is my Friday. Thank goodness. Typical work crap. Client A, B and C want their job final and sent over today. Client A, B, and C wait until last night to pile the information I need to finish these THREE jobs (one of them rather HUGE).

So I worked long days all week, while other people waltzed in an hour after me and left an hour before.

Thats fine, because at least my clients have never ever called me letting me know that my drawings were effed *snicker*

So now I am reviewing my last set of drawings for printing and then I am done for the week! Tomorrow I am off to VT for some cow tipping and red neck hijinks (not really)

so peace out homies, smell ya later!

Because I am the worlds crappiest writer-er, I lack the words and skill to describe the last two days. Craptastic has been thrown around in the blog world, Yeah, I'll use that.

Craptastic (adj)

1. in a good sense, the quality of being so crappy that the object is humorous or desirable.

2. in a bad sense, extremely crappy.

etymology: blend of the words 'crap' and 'fantastic'

I'll go with definition two.

I put him out last night and now I so afraid someone will take my Marcus Aurelius. I'm having heart palpitations! We came home last night from dinner with our friends I & P and his little acorn was all lit up, it warmed my cockles. It was the cutest thing, like ever. I think he needs a friend!

I have been waiting patiently (not really) for these extremely back ordered but gorgeous earrings for the wedding. I got an email today that they should be arriving tomorrow. All my fellow b2b's should check out her site! These are going to look so sassy w/my gown HEEEEE

can you tell I'm excited! maybe its the caffeine. I don't know why I'm so excited, I dont like or wear jewelry! HA!

Posted by Krista at 1:41 PM | 3 comments  

I've been eating (m-f) in this order: yogurt, banana, salad, grapes, cheese-its or wheat thins (exact serving size), cheese (pre work out energy), small dinner...about 1200 calories a day. Then aerobics five times a week. all that TORTURE and I loose 1 effin pound a week. I'm sure if I wasn't a complete asshat during the weekend it would be 2, perhaps this weekend I can stay on track, one can dream. About an inch stands between me and adorable silk strapless dress. I've got till July. I can do this.

Thats my life, burning more than I am taking in. Wicked fun y'all.

Matt said something last night that is still haunting me

"You don't have to buy something just because you have a coupon"

So, Now when I look at this one, I like the way its just the names but I love the saying "this day I will marry my friend......"

Perhaps I can put that on the tag? Thoughts?

Friday, after seeing the metacritic reviews, we got ourselves all sorts of excited for.......28 weeks later. Zombies, I think are the scariest thing, like ever, especially those creepy red eyed zombies *shivers*.

Other fun and excitement was going over Megs to help her plan her wedding then a cookout where I got pwnd in poker.

Mothers day was great, I took the Moms for brunch and I just need to say for a 105 pound woman, she can pack it away! Then we did mom type things: discount shopping, ice coffee and the garden center. My father bought her a gnome for mothers day stating "she has to get over her fear"
It's a bobble head! I didn't help ease her fear when I said "he looks like the type of gnome that likes to come into your bed at night to snack on toes"

I got a myselfish some flowers to try and make my ugly curb less ugly. Then the usual Sunday night relax, sopranos, bed.

First off, my work outfit is borderline inappropriate. I wearing a low cut tunic and my boobals are all up and "hayyyyayyyy" pornita lolita

Annnnnyway, what was it like 80 outside yesterday, max? Nothing crazy right? well it was like Satans ass in our bedroom. Three hours of sleep FABULOUS! This will be awesome while I try to figure out the electrical inner workings of a Hospital Patient room.

Whats going to keep me going is my new purchase for the yard. His name is Marcus Aurelius. I love him.

Oh, I got my hair cut at a fancy (well fanciest in Lowell) salon, love the cut and made an appt for a color. I'm so excited!

Crap, the place where I was planning to get the cake? Was the place that made the cake that melted at one of my *bff's wedding. The cake tasted awesome but it was a mad dash and frenzy to get the cake cutting over and done with!

So. I'm doing GREAT with the working out. 4-5 times a week w/extra strength training. I've lost inches, not many pounds. I like to repeat the words "muscle weighs more than fat and takes up less space" to myselfish over and over.

The diet, well not so much mwahahahaha


*Im in trouble with this one

matt: In July 2005, visiting American singer Aimee Mann described her shock at encountering "overflowing pubs, drunks, urine stains and pools of vomit"
matt: nice!
krista: WOOHOO!

Wow, I did so much, this kind of felt like a three day weekend!

Friday, after an insane day of the food store designing shenanigans, I decided I needed some FUN. The answer: Hot Fuzz! I laughed through the whole movie, it was just so ridiculous. Same humor as Sean of the Dead. I never realized how much Matt looks like Simon Pegg, funny! Then we went and had dinner and shared a bottle of wine in the romantic room of cobblestones (there were not any seats available in the BAR boohoo).

After dinner we started to head home when i pointed at the bar and screamed THIRSTY! I convinced Matt to go in for "just one pop". It was around 9pm.......we got home bout 2am.

Well I mean come on, how could I leave? I ran in to old high school chum he was sharing stories about getting spanked by a gimp (he had camera phone pictures to boot), I was throwing back Jameson shots with this guy, seeing my old bass teacher (who is just too cute) and his FABULOUS band, and then to put a nice bow on it we ran into my ex (the boy). It was a little surreal....like what the hell is really going on here.

Anyway. Saturday morning rolled around super fast. W/three hours of sleep and perhaps still a little drunk I went to aerobics to "sweat it out". There were plans for painting afterwards but the only thing I managed to do was a nap and to make six gallons of SANGRIIIIIIIIIA.

This time I made it with brandy (I normally use rum) and instead of adding sugar I used some blackberry brandy, I mean why waste space w/an un-alcoholy product. Then my usual fruits, cheap wine and OJ. yum. So after the nap we were off to my friend Sky's house. And guess whats funner than flip cup? Flip cup with SANGRIA. Whooo whoooo. I was surprisingly good (good at a drinking game, shocking I know)! We spent most of the night by the fire sharing war stories, good times.

ahhhh. crazy. I love it.

Holy moly. The lawn has been neglected for so long! Does anyone have ideas or tricks to get this started?

The lawn may look sad but don't my flower boxes look the sassiest?

So the above picture of my 1st lush experience. From my old blog

08.03.05 "I felt like a carrot boiling in soup. It was too hot and i felt like i was sitting in my own filth and then the anxiety of "O.M.G! is this going to give me an infection?!" set in. But after i got out and felt my my skin, i felt smooth, i smelt sweet and it was ahhhhh just nice. I blurred my boobies making it work safe"

K: So remember my 1st lush experience
E: yeah you felt like you were in hot soup
K: so im taking a tub (thats how French people say it)
E: yes
K: and i have my little fizz bomb going
E: ok
K: and there is SOMETHING INSIDE!
K: now, this is an old bomb
E: ok
K: so I like FREAK out
K: I thought it was a curled up bug
E: OMG HAHAHAHHAAHHAAHHA
K: i almost killed myself trying to get out of the tub and away from the BUG
E: i would have DIED
K: but no, not a bug, a flower
E: was it "sex bomb"
K: no, it was this one
E: omg, I am picturing it so vividly
E: I'm dying
K: and i am so sorry for that

Wow.

I remember, in my old life, I would take 6pm aerobics class and then I would stay till my shift (I worked at the aerobics center, this is where I met E) at 7:30pm to work out again. I would do this three times a week, without blinking. Sometimes I was asked to work the 6am and do three that day. I had no life but I looked great and I at five feet zero, I could probably kick your ass.

Then I quit for two years.

Now, at 31, I do one class and I want to die inside myself.
