I can't come up with the words to express how obsessed Bella was with these treats. And obsessed doesn't cover it. First of all...it was kind of eerie how she KNEW I was baking them for her. She sat on Mary's lap with her head cocked to the side the ENTIRE time just watching...waiting.
Normally when we give her treats we make her do a few of her tricks...high five, shake, give kisses. When I carried a cookie over to the couch she just started swinging her paw she must've given me a high thirty. Her kisses were more like nibbles and I actually was afraid she'd eat my face off. She couldn't even comprehend our command "bring us a baby" she was frantically jolting every which way so I finally just had her sit (which she couldn't do for more than a second out of sheer excitement).
I found the recipe on my new FAVORITE blog www.takeamegabite.com Just go to index and scroll down until you find Dog Treats.

Goodbye (Greg Laswell)
"When you’re 27 you cut all negative ties. Problems have solutions." -Adrielle Miller, Esquire Magazine
An amazing little ditty called Goodbye from Greg's newest cd:
It was really nice to meet you, goodbye.
Its high time I quit wondering why
Cause I have lost all that I can from my side
When you think of me again, know I tried. I tried.
Goodbye.
Forgive me while I lay here.
But I have nowhere else to be
I figure when I leave this time its for keeps
And when I say good morning next, I’ll lie. I’ll lie.
This is goodbye.
And I’ll delay the day I cant remember you at all
and its not easy to say that day has already come and gone
And all that remains is
A place where you no longer are
One day I wont regret this
Oh how I want to believe that’s true
Once I pick up my parts I broke on you
I’ll get used to the idea its not you, not you.
Goodbye.

Seriously?? Not only are you not following probation, but you're going to make up some phony story about a lost passport so you can stay in Cannes and snort some lines of coke with frizzy-haired foes? Can't say I'm surprised...just a little shocked you allowed someone to capture this beautiful moment on film.
You know what they say...when in Cannes.

Valentines Day, the not-movie version
Saturday night Cyndie had d, myself & Jessica over for ladies night. We snacked, drank some champagne, watched a movie & even wandered over to The Hermosa Saloon.
We cabbed it home around 1:30 & I was the last stop. I had a paperbag of movies & leftovers in my lap and my purse was on the ground. I got my $20 bill out ahead of time to be prepared and my wallet either fell out of my purse or I thought I was placing it back in the purse and ended up laying it gently on the floor of the cab.
I didn't even realize what I'd done until about 1 pm the next day when I wanted to nurse my headache & upset tummy with some Carl's (no judgement). Called the cab company and was told by a supervisor that she'd "send a message out to all drivers." She knew the address & exact time we got picked up, but not the cab #/driver that got us??? Shady shades. She said they'd get back to me shortly, but if not call back.
I called back an hour later...still nada. I was directed to call Lost & Found (aka a random voicemail box). I googled "lost wallet what to do" and every link suggested that I cancel cards IMMEDIATELY. So I did. I didn't let myself stress too much after the initial panic wore off. The replacement cards were in the mail and I accepted losing everything in my wallet, including the measly $14 dollars in cash.
I realized there had to be a big fat lesson somewhere in all of this. First lesson being: Keep your purse on your lap and set the damn bag of movies on the floor!!
The following day I had a voicemail from a guy named Kevin Hart who found my wallet on Valentine's Day in a cab leaving Hermosa. He wanted to meet up and "get me my wallet." Let's review:
$14 dollars
Valentines Day
Kevin HART
Destiny, you little devil, you.
Met up with Kevin on Monday, he had a Jason Segel-ish quality to him...hard to tell his age but probably right around 25-28. Tall enough. Dressed casual. Seemed really uncomfortable with my thank-yous and would not accept a reward until I insisted that he "at least take it and donate it somewhere." And that was that (played out much differently in my head too).
My wallet was returned all picked over and cards moved around in different slots. It'd been cleaned out of cash & coins...really?? The coins?? Take my pennies you weirdos. I was just relieved to have my license back, avoiding a trip to the DMV!
Was forced to go into the bank yesterday to pull out cash to hold me over until "the cards" arrive. Got the cash from a teller & was told a banker (Steven P) had to help me with the Temporary Debit Card. Cut to 45 minutes of easy conversation & banter, I left feeling giddy & wanting even more conversation.
Ohhh...so Kevin seemed like the obvious choice, but perhaps that was a decoy to get me into the bank. Stay tuned. This might be nothin, but the writer in me wants it to be a rom-com script!

Definitely worth the time it takes to read from start to finish:

Weekend Perk-Up
So I was very not myself this weekend, but in a good way. Typically I can be found sleeping in til 11, lazing around watching shows all day (and well into the night), but not this weekend.
I had a 10:15 hair 'do appt so I actually manned up and went to the 8:30 AM WW meeting. Down 0.2! Hah! I was very happy seeing as I'd planned on a big fat gain. I had time to kill so I went to Sam's (only to ditch my cart halfway through when I realized it really was just like Costco and why pay the $35 membership fee when I can just tag-along with a friend to Costco??). Sorry Sam's employee that had to put away my mess. I was just too far in to turn back and restock my items with that shotty (shoddy?) cart wheel and all...
Then I was off to the salon...yadda yadda yadda...went to bed at a decent hour and was up at 8:30 the next morn. WHAAAT? Got up, got my laundry did, dusted, did dishes...I was unrecognizable. Went for an hour long walk with Denise along the Redondo strand and then did more housework off & on throughout the day to prepare for John Cody's visit this Wednesday.
I don't know who this girl is, but I hope she stays!!!
