Monday Morning Madness


This morning I sat down on the couch, wrapped up in my blanket with a cup of tea at my lips as I watched the news, as is part of my morning routine. House fire, traffic, weather. Then a strange piece about what lengths women are going to for the sake of a pretty photo of their wedding rings.
Apparently, plastic surgery and fat injections IN YOUR HANDS is a growing fad so that brides-to-be can show off that ring with perfectly sculpted digits. What the flying fuck?
I’ll be the first to admit that thinking about getting married makes my woman senses get all warm and fuzzy but holy crap, girls out there are getting cosmetic surgery so that the pic they post of their finger in an engagement band looks just right. The doctor in the segment showed where he would make the incision on your wrist and …..pull back all the skin on your hand to make it look tighter and more youthful. BARF! What the hell happened to photoshop if you are that self conscious about your paws? This procedure seems to be done mostly for those selfie pics that show off the ring so girls can go, “Oh my gawd, look at this roooooock!”
Shouldn’t you be more focused on making a huge commitment to the man (Or woman!) you’re preparing to step into the ret of your life with? I think people really have lost the real meaning behind marriage and are focusing too much on the martial aspect of it. Who cares if you got a 26k ring or that your center pieces are encrusted with Swarovski crystals (had to google that). Really people? Stop cutting up/ injecting/whatever else to your body just for the sake of showing off a rock  in the ground. Weddings aren’t a contest for the most beautiful, most expensive, most youthful. Maybe start thinking about what it’s really about.


Ok, strange rant about girls using cosmetic surgery on their hands over. Today is Monday and apart from weird news stories, It’s been a pretty good morning. Tea, snuggles from Corey and a very happy puppy = so nice. It was POURING this morning so Zoey and I bolted to the car. I haven’t seen rain this heavy in a while. We sat in the car together for a minute before I even put the key in the ignition and just listened to the sound. This morning seemed so quiet and I was kinda surprised with the lack of people on the road. So my day ahead is filled with puppies and more painting. Oh, did I mention painting took up most of my weekend? All day Saturday my mom, dad and my landlord Erin painted our new suit. Oooh boy! It’s looking stunning and I can’t wait to move in. Our new landlord (Erin’s parents) came down and looked at the colors I picked for our feature walls and laughed. He doesn’t mind us painting crazy colors so long as we paint over them when we leave. Wait till he sees the lime green slated for our spare room!

Sunday Nicole and I had our last session with our awkward dog training client. We decided to meet up early, grab our homework sheets and have breakfast while we discussed our plan of attack. We ended up heading to Rickies and guess who we were seated beside? Our clients! How damn awkward. Haha Poor Nicole was facing them so the two of us pretended to be in deep conversation after the initial “Hello, funny seeing you here!” so that it looked like we weren’t chatting about them (as we had planned) haha. Training commenced at one and once again it was terrible. The mom admitted that they hadn’t practiced at all. What the hell?! How do you except to get anywhere with your dog if you don’t actually practice with him. We concluding our training session with ‘come when called’ but that command is terribly hard to teach if you haven’t invested any time into getting your dog to learn the first two steps. It went well enough but the woman still wasn’t very receptive. Oh well, you win some you lose some.
