Free to a Good Home...

All I have to say is "Really Macy! Really!"

Macy I feed you, I walk you, I snuggle with you...and this is how you repay me, by peeing on my carpet? Really? I have discovered yet another spot, yep this makes the grand total of 6 in my living room, the only room she is allowed, with out supervision. I am out trying to find a job to support us and you are peeing my carpet...When will you stop?

Well, off to Target to by a Spot Bot, cause I can't live with knowing there is urine on my carpet. I used to be a believer in Nature's Miracle...and lately it has not been doing its job! UGH!

Dear Hardwood Floor God, I have been a really good girl (me, not Macy) please bring me Hardwood Floors! Yours Truly, K

...have a drink, have a ride, go out and see what you can find...


OMG! I love my new bike!! I mean what's not to love, its a hot little bike! Everytime I ride it I feel like "In the Summertime" by Mungo Jerry should be playing!

After a little research....

Check out the "In the Summertime" video from youtube.com (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc9wIzi96_E).

Have you ever seen Mungo Jerry? Yeah me neither!! Scary! I was thinking about changing the Soundtrack for my Summer, after seeing the chops-master, and reading the lyrics!!! But, it is SUCH a perfect melody for a summertime bike ride....

Little Indian Princess Kristi

Tonight while at a Junior League 50th Anniversary Committee meeting, I found myself in some pretty impressive company, past presidents from almost every decade. Woman who had devoted decades of time, money, and service to others. Woman, children, and families in our community have benefited from the kinds acts of these woman. I feel privileged that I am joining such an elite group of women. But all of this said, there is a reason that their are Indians in a tribe and only one Chief. Its because when you have a lot of Chiefs, nothing gets done, as there are Indians to do the work. Just call me Little Indian Princess Kristi.

the great job search

Yesterday I interviewed at a perfectly fine job. Great pay, great hours (4-10 work week), and seemingly a great company...but I find myself not that excited about it. I am sure there is a little of the "mean reds" (watch Breakfast at Tiffany's) effecting my mood. But I find myself wondering, do you go to work for a company, that is not going to have much room for career growth, and that the hours during the harvest season are going to be 7-15 (yep 15 hour days 7 days a week) just because it is a great job and a great pay check. I feel as though I am at the age where I need to include my lifestyle into my job decision...All work, No play makes for a grouchie KristiR. And really, isn't going to help me find Mr. Right or Mr. RightNow. So I find myself, still searching...

I used to tell a good friend/boyfriend (Mr. Travel the World in Search of Himself) of mine, "Its not about the destination, its about the ride." It's amazing how sometimes the advice you give is the hardest to do yourself. I will say in my defense, the ride, right now, is a little rocky, and I don't have a 4x4 BMW (even though sometimes I feel like I do)!
