For the next several weeks I will be dog sitting Mosley! A 3 year old yellow lab!! He is a friend of mine's from the city and he needed a home for a few weeks while she and her new husband are on their honeymoon. Tending to two blogs I have found to be more difficult than one, so if you need some fun reading material check out Mosley's blog....as this blog may be a big sparse.
Yep Mosley's Blog, written in his voice. Or what I think is Mosley's voice!!
Mobile with Mosley
ENJOY!!!

G****OOOO****AAAA****LLLLL for USA!!!
My good friend Elizabeth Swann has introduced me to my latest addiction/obsession...the World Cup!! Yesterday we went to BC's Pizza for great beer, yummy pizza, and the France vs. Mexico game.
(single ladies side note: BC's Pizza during the World Cup, is swarming with men!! And they are more than willing to answer rookie soccer fan questions!)
Today I was up at 6:30 am to watch the USA vs. SVN (Slovenia). I'm NEVER up at 6:30!! It was the largest populated country in the tournament (USA) versus the smallest populated and geographic country in the tournament (SVN). 485 Slovenias would geographically fit in the US. Its itty bitty! Despite their size they played well, giving USA a run for its money!
I'm hooked!! The sport, the passion, the fan (check out their costumes)!! LOVE IT!
Today at 2pm, I will be watching the ENG vs. ALG (Algeria)!! And I am torn about who to cheer on...I like ENGLAND (cute players and good accents), but the USA needs ALG to win!! Ugh what to do!!!

Smarter than a 6th Grader!!
I know I have addressed the fact that I am self taught graphic designer, so clearly if "I don't" know how to do something, in Illustrator, it clearly doesn't exist!! Right? Wrong. Once again I have learned something!!! I helped a friend (we'll call her Elizabeth Swann) design t-shirts for her Mother's 70th Birthday Party, that being said, another friend (we'll call her Glinda) helped her to have them printed, online. Glinda and Elizabeth were texting back and forth about the format, that Glinda needed. She needed a .jpg and I could only send her a pdf or .ai. .I tried to figure out how to do it, but couldn't...so clearly it doesn't exist. Right? Wrong! This is the email I got from Glinda:

Copy and past that link
Check this out, the day i found this site I laughed my ass off.
Go ahead click on it!! It will make you laugh....
Yeah, I totally overlooked that idea...But thanks to Glinda pointing out the obvious, I was able to take it one step further and learn. A. You can save an AI file as a .jpg. And, B. I'm not as smart as I think I am, I may even not be as smart as a 6th grader!!!
Thanks G!!!

be you.
Some food for thought.
Maybe the connection you are longing to have is with yourself. Getting to know yourself. Trusting yourself. As a cancer you are super protective of yourself and your heart. And you long to have that connection in your life. Yet sometimes cancers are soo hidden in their shell protecting themselves they miss the chances to connect. And sometimes hidding is really hidding from yourself...
Also quit allowing old connections to compete with new ones. Old ones are ghosts, and although they were great at one time, there is a reason you broke up. Unfortunately our memory tends to block out the bad and only remember the good. But don't let the synthetic good cloud the connection with new people.
Quit over thinking it all! Get out of your head and into the now! Life happens, be present. you can't be present when you are constantly in your head!!!
Don't compromise yourself!! Don't go out with someone you don't want to....Attention is nice. Attention is great. Feeling wanted rocks. But feeling wanted by the wrong person, isn't nice or great, and doesn't rock! If feels pained, and difficult. Friends and lovers shouldn't feel difficult. Yes there will be difficult times. But a relationship shouldn't feel forced. If it does it wasn't meant to be! Stop trying soo hard.
Get to know you.
Be you.
Be honest with yourself.
Be open to new friends and opportunities.
Still being you.
Create new opportunities to make new friends.
Let the past be in the past.
Be you.
It will happen when you live it! Be you!
PS this was written for someone who shares my birthday. and well I guess I can learn a bit from it too!

I heart Macy
I now know why people with pets live longer! We laugh more!
A few days ago I made a run to the grocery store for some much needed sustenance. I got home to this!!
Here is the back story...when I am sick I like to put my used tissues in an empty tissue box. It keeps my sick area all nice and tidy. Apparently while I was gone, Macy checked out the tissue receptacle, and got her head stuck in it! It was sooo funny!!! I got home and she was hiding under the kitchen table scared, until she heard my voice, and then she got up, tail wagging, and booty wiggling!! I of course had to make it a photo opt!!

Where does all this snot come from??
I have been sick with a cold since Tuesday. I have already been through one box of tissue!! Note, I have found that an empty box of tissue makes a great receptacle for the used tissue. It keeps your "sick area" all nice and tidy. My "sick area" this time is brilliant if I may say so myself. I had my "guest" bed blown up and I just carried it downstairs to the family room to become my "hospital" bed! BRILLIANT!!! Thank goodness Roommate is traveling on the East Coast this week, as I have had the house all to myself to contaminate.
I have been the best patient EVER. Rest, rest, and rest. Which comes with some side effects, man is my back sore! I will say my brilliant "sick area" does have a down side.... the "hospital" bed does loose air, causing it to be more flaccid, depleting its support. I know what your are saying, just blow it back up! Well a few months ago when my suga mama (no really my mom) bought me the bed to go to Wutchumna (our big camping/party trip we go on every year) we decided that it didn't make much sense to have an A/C air pump when I would be in the mountains. So we bought the car adapter air pump. You imagined correctly, I had to blow it up in the drive way with my car! So given my current health I decided it would be best to just take some Tylenol and deal with the back pain, then deal with the complexity of getting out of my pjs, moving two cars, just to blow up my "hospital" bed.
I have been able to catch up on my Tivo. An upside! I am down to only a usage of 6%!! And I have seen some movies that I thought I wanted to see. Nine is really beautiful and complex, I don't recommend it while high on cold medicine. Its kinda hard to follow, perhaps I will see it again when I am off Pseudoephedrine and Tylenol. I also watched Leap Year, I thought it would be a little lighter, and a good romantic comedy! It was definitely light, and fluffy. A little lame, I think I would suggest to wait until its on TBS Dinner & a Movie.
Goodness I sound like Goldie Locks and the two movies! I am just fed up with this cold! And getting a little grouchy! Its soo beautiful out and I am stuck on this "hospital" bed with a snotty nose and a sore back! I am trying to remain positive though, this illness is really helping me kick off my summertime body! Hello sickness diet, now if I could only follow this up with a little tummy flu! Wishful thinking!
