When life gives you lemons, be difficult and make grape juice!

Not necessarily the odd one out, but never really fitting "in". This is my life and everything in it. All the love, laughter and happiness; and sometimes the sadness too. This is my journey as a fruitloop in this world full of cheerios, trying to make my mark and live every day to the fullest! (if you have to ask, I am an orange fruitloop)

It's the Big 2-5 and...

I was totally not ready to hit that milestone!I turned 25 years old on the 3rd. I would have never imagined at the age of 25 I would be unemployed, my family would all be moving to different states and I would be here... alone... with nothing. Well, I can't say nothing...because I do have my amazing boyfriend and awesome friends... but my family is a HUGE part of my life and sometimes it does feel like I have nothing without them.

I did have a great birthday though, friends and family came over on Friday night for appetizers, drinks and games. On Saturday I went to my first ever baseball game at the Dodgers Stadium. It was a blast thanks to a family friend who gave us tickets, a parking pass and a pass for free food! On Sunday, we went to the Santa Anita Shopping Center in Arcadia where I got to go shopping, have lunch at the Cheesecake factory (David's first time!) and then went to Dave and Busters for the first time. I really had an amazing weekend!

But now that my weekend is over, reality is setting in... For those of you who know me, you know that I am a pretty optimistic person, sometimes I can be considered too happy. When I was younger my mom tells me that it was almost like I lived in my own little world, where everyone was happy and got along! Why can't I go back there? LOL

Anywho, back to reality. This week has been a tough one... my dad's stuff got pushed to November 15th, my mom moved to her temporary place at my grandmas until she is off to Utah at the end of the month, my little brother left for Louisiana and we found a home for our family dog, Whiskey. Job hunting is getting harder and harder and while I know I can't give up, I just want to throw in the towel.

I am so grateful to have my friends and boyfriend to keep me afloat in these dark days, I know tomorrow will be better!

Thanks for listening!

I love Halloween!

So I really do love Halloween! It is by far my favorite holiday! Last year was my first real Halloween in my own house... so I decorated a little bit, but this year i was totally prepared! I hope you enjoy the pictures! Next year I will have even more stuff to decorate with! I love shopping after halloween, we got our spiderweb last year for 10 cents each at Walmart! Michaels always has some great deals too! Where are your favorite places to shop for halloween decorations?

Help Whiskey Find a Home

As you all know, I have had some crazy family stuff happen over the last few months. Because of this, we have to give up our super loving dog, Whiskey.

Whiskey is a 4yr old husky/golden retriever mix, he is neutered, I believe he is micro-chipped (we got him from the shelter) and he is great with other animals and children. He is house trained and good both indoors and out, he loves to just be around you, he likes to go on walks and would probably do well on runs too. He minds well and knows basic commands.

He comes with his dog house, food and water bowls, any dog food we still have, his collar, leash, choke collar for walking and his dog toys.

He really is the absolute sweetest dog I have ever met, he loves to have an owner and appreciates being taken care of.   See Pictures of Whiskey Here

I look forward to hearing from you!
