"Okay...let's go dig up your uncle."
So Kari from My Life With Dogs is back from Alaska and back to her pups and we are so happy she's back! But I must confess: I miss snuggling with the pups. It was a fun week. But Joe and I are glad to be back in our Cali King Size Tempur-pedic! I love that bed.
Lots of work this week, trying to make some money to pay all these bills, bills, bills. And hoping to find a few auditions for this week too. Oh and Joe and I are going to really start trying to put away money for our Ireland/Poland trip and trying to rescue a puppy. We want to travel and then start our own little pack.
Hope you are all having a lovely week and here is a little something to make you smile from dog sitting this past week. :D

"Dance your cares away, worries for another day..."
So I just wanted to show you some of the hats and headbands my business partner and I are selling out of our little company March Hair Mad Hatter. Take a look and for those out there on Etsy, help me get our store on there to work-for some reason it isn't working and it is most upsetting!
P.S. Notice how there are way more pics of my partner than me? Ha! She is a way cuter model than I am, her name is Jenn!

"Protect your dong and swing like your life depended on it..."
So I'm a bit behind but here are my goals for 2010, that's right goals, not resolutions. I did this last year and accomplished my year long goal to live a green, organic, and fairtrade life. I am proud to say that I am as green as I can be at this moment (minus being able to buy an all green and sustainable house with my very own garden)! I eat only organic, green, fairtrade foods, make/buy beauty and household products of the same nature, and only buy orgo/green/or re-used/vintage/recycled clothes and furniture (like our new table and benches)! I am so glad that I made that my goal of '09 and that Joe jumped on board. We feel better and we live better.
So in the success of last year's big accomplishment here are my 2010 goals:
Personal Goals
1) Continue with 2009's goal and try to start a small herb garden in a window box for my apartment.
2) Rescue a pup of my own. I am a dog-sitting fiend but I'd like to start my own little pack.
3) Really travel to Poland and Ireland this summer as planned.
4) Pay off all these medical bills.
5) Become completely financially independent.
Professionally
1) Get representation commercially and theatrically.
2) Get a day player spot on a television show.
3) Sell 50 of March Hair Mad Hatter hats/headbands and get a little following on Etsy.
4) Get at least 15 followers for my little blog.
And those are my goals for 2010. What do you think?

Adventures in Dog-sitting!
So I am pup sitting for the week for my good friends over at My Life With Dogs and already it has been a fun go of it. :D
First of all I love these pups! They are the two sweetest (and for the most part) well-behaved pits ever and now with their third Big Carl it's been a funny two days. Big Carl is picking up on all the little mannerisms his two big sisters have. He is super rambunctious and curious and playful whenever Mesa is and is now getting super jealous if anyone gets any attention other than him like Baily does. And when we all walk he has to sniff every place those two do. It's just so funny and cute!
Now since it's rainy they are snuggled on top of me on top of the couch, it's super cute. It's the perfect weather for it though :)
This has been a busy week but I'm plugging along. I'm working a lot at both my jobs, still not sure if I'm going to lose the one but we'll see how it all goes. I'm just doing all I can to save as much money up as possible before I possibly lose it so I can have my rent, etc. taken care of if the income stops.
Joe and I got to spend our first Sunday morning together in awhile, I always work Sunday brunch so it was nice to spend the morning with him. We went to the Sunday Hollywood Farmer's Market and got loads of fresh herbs, strawberries, veggies, and cheese, It was so much fun! Loads of free samples of delicious fresh foods and then I bought us a gyro for lunch-it was SO tasty! Then we went to the Sunday flea Market on Melrose and Fairfax (at the little high school there) and we found a vendor who makes tables, desks, etc. from reclaimed lumber. So we talked with him and ending up getting a kitchen table and 2 "Long Island Boot Benches" for a steal! And the man delivered them to us that night-it was perfect!
We also watched a movie (Tango & Cash-I'd never seen it, it was pretty ridiculous) and then walked and played with my friend Meghan's little dog Mimi. She is a hoot. Such a little purse dog but she has this one toy, a stuffed monkey, and she beat up on that thing while we were there like a big dog would. It was the funniest thing (and super adorable)!
We had friends for dinner. Joe made homemade pesto and I made homemade spicy puttanesca and we both made a salad together. Then Joe made a lemon zabiliogne to go with our fresh strawberries. And our friends brought wine and chocolate and bacon brownies. It was so much fun! The perfect way to spend a Sunday off! :D
Now it's just back to the grindstone. Watching these three pups, I'll be walking Mimi the pup this week too, and my two jobs which I've been working at both pretty much everyday. We'll see if I get any sleep ever, oh and I think I have a cold coming on too. Oh well, what can I do?
