so while I wait....

So while I wait for my new phone to be delivered by DHL (see last journal entry) I thought I would write....

I have an evironmental health exam at 4. I am nervous, but I think i got this shit down pretty well. I am kinda nervous about reciting the nitrogen and carbon cycles, but at the moment I feel pretty good about it...

the tattoo is "healing" according to the ol' wise one, danny, becuase it itches like a mother fucker. and what's worse is that it's right on my pants line, so i haven't worn real pants in a week and a half. wtf. STOP ITCHING!!!!!!!

Next weekend I am going to Reno, NV for a legislative lobby/grassroots weekend with my friend Uzma. I am excited...considering I have never seen any of Nevada other than the shit city I live in....I hear nothern nevada is beautiful. so I'm down. The day I get back my sister comes in to LV....that should be fun.

And a skin update (for those of you who care):
Murad system is not working for my skin, so I am going to make an appointment with danny's dermatologist. Back to modern medicine i guess....something has got to give. Acne as a pre-teen, to a teen, to a young adult, and now to an adult. Will it ever go away? I am desperate at this point....

and, my dogs are all beautiful. I am one lucky person to have the wonderful animals I have....


and (e:lilho), i have to say, that metallic thingy jennifer hudson was wearing was quite awful. I definitely prefered the dress she wore after she accepted her oscar during the press conference.....much lovelier (if that is a word).

k all. happy tuesday.

all of this stuff...

start out with the tattoo experience:
haven't been tattooed in 5 years...and i certainly forgot how incredbily painful it is. After the artist told me it would only take 45 minutes, I thought, ok, I can handle this....2 hours later I was in agony still under the needle. I have to say, the end result is gorgeous and I am quite happy with my cover up of "henry" the radiohead monster with my beautiful hot pink tiger lily, but all in all, the experience was quite unbearable. Not to mention I had my first conversation with a stripper who works at a famous las vegas strip club about brazilian bikini waxes and how she thinks she wants to permanently have it lazered. whatever. painful experience....during and certainly after. I am still so sore while the healing process takes place....pics soon to come once healing is complete.

moving on to my next big hoopla:
One of my closest friends, mark lud, is in from buffalo visiting me. He is a big gambler, so I have been trying to take him to all the gambling super hot spots in vegas. He really wanted to see Binions Casino in downtown las vegas, since that is where the world poker tour used to be held for like 20 years. So last night, I met some of my friends there, along with mark, and hit up the bar while mark gambled a bit. While I was waiting for my friend Kristina to show up and waiting on other people to message me to tell me whether they were meeting up or not, I put my phone in my pants butt pocket so I could feel it vibrate. I had to go to the bathroom while I waited, so off I went to the binions ladies room.....while pulling down my pants, down went my phone, INTO THE BINIONS TOILET. ugh! I dind't even think about germs, and I just stuck my hand in the toilet to pick it up. EWWWWWWWWWWWW! So, not only was I devastated that my phone was fucked, my now i had gross binions toilet hand. I have always heard stories about people dropping their phones into toilets, but never thought it would happen to me. WELL it did. and it doesn't work. at all. i thought it would, but it doesn't'. so I spent all morning at verizon wireless and on the phone with the insurance company. The insurance company didn't believe me when I told them I dropped it into the toilet, so I had to go the verizon store to have a representative verify it wasn't working, but on my way there, realized it wasn't in the plaza it used to be. Yea, i had to drive all over to find one, since I dind't have a phone to call 411. i finally get there, and after announcing it to the entire verizon store and getting much sympathy from all customers, the very nice people there ordered me a new phone and it should be in on tuesday.


untill then, I am wireless-less. poop.



In other news, petey, the new puppy, is doing wonderful with the pugs. They are all getting along very well and it makes me happy....


Also, I dropped $100 on nothing tonight. After years of not gambling, I realized why I don't tonight. IT'S A FUCKING WASTE OF A WASTE. I thought i could gamble my way to a new juicy couture suit, but not only did i not win money, but im out. lovely. never again....


anyway, i hope all of you (e:peeps) are having better luck than me! Take care....

new puppy.....

Well, long story short, Daniel and I always look on craigslist pet section to see what is going on in Las Vegas with Pets. We saw on saturday that a family was giving up their Japanese Chin who was only 5 months old because they no longer could take care of him anymore. Just so you all are up to speed, Japenese chins are my other favorite breed, but are rare and are mad expensive (like $5,000) hence the reason why we never got one. So, we contemplated all day on whether we could handle another dog...there are a ton of reasons why I thought it was a bad idea to get another dog, but in the end, I knew we had to get the little baby. So we called the owners and we met up in a park to see how the pugs would react to the little guy....things went great, so the owners just left him with us, with a small adoption fee of $200. It seemed as though the family just couldn't handle a puppy....they had 3 kids, the mom was sick and the dad had 3 jobs....so they never played with him and he didn't get the proper care he needed.

I know for sure we can take good care of him. Considering our dogs are our lives, they are all treated with huge amounts of love....and the puppy will have 2 other buddies to play with, so being played with is never a problem.

So, here is the new addition to our family:

blah

Not much to report here. It has been a pretty low key weekend. I am kinda down about my body so everything danny and I tried to do was ruined by me being sad about how not cool my body is at the moment. I don't mean to be a brat, but when you walk around this city, you can't help be feel fat....i mean, everyone here is super skinny and beautiful. Its so agrevating....I am trying, but it's a slow process. I wish getting thin could be a hop, skip and a jump away. it's not. ugh.


i still can't believe anna nicole is dead. i mean, wtf?


I am currently making some healthy chilli. I am excited....


And to add to my hello kitty collection of random shit, I bought hello kitty shower traction thingy's (my bathroom is hello kitty of course). They are really cool. She is great.


Did i mention that I ordered new glasses? They are Versace and cost me a fortune, but the asian said I looked good in them, so i bought them. I can't wait till they get in. Always listen to asians when it comes to glasses selection, they know what's up.

aight. im out. (e:peeps): take care!

oooh ohhh, i almost forgot!

So, about 5 years ago, I went with my friend becky on a spur of the moment "let's go get a tattoo" thing....and we actually did so....

I love radiohead. Amnesiac had these cute little monster drawings, and in all the of the videos off of amnesiac the little monster was in it, crying because all of the big monsters made fun of him. I loved him though...he was the cutest little thing in the universe (next to hello kitty and sophia). So, I had the brilliant idea to get him tattooed on my hip (big mistake).

of course, I hate the thing I have now....the lines suck and it's just a piece of shit..... but thankfully it is incredibly tiny and I can get it covered up. So danny was going to get a tattoo in a few weeks to finish his 2nd sleeve, and I figured, maybe I hsould make an appointment to get my hip fixed....I have waited forever to get the thing done....so why the hell not....

....so I have decided to get a beautiful lily on my hip over henry (the monster). It is going to be shades of pink and obviously shades of green. I am kinda excited, but really scared. I mean, since it is a cover up, w ho knows how it is going to turn out....and I can't recall how badly it hurts. My hello kitty tattoo hurt like a mother fucker, but I got it on my love handle, so of course that would hurt. I am worried....but I guess int he grand scheme of things, an hour of pain = a lifetime of no more henry and a beautiful lily.


I gave the artist a picture to show him how I want it.....but only pink

today I will....

after a whole day of nothingness....not even showering...thanks to an awful stomach flu....I am going to get my shit together and get some stuff done:

-go to sephora....have to get some lovely makeup and skin care
-return my shoes to Ross....i am bummed they don't fit
-return an early valentines day present from danny to urban outfitters and buy more stuff
-go to michael's to get craft stuff
-go to petsmart to get my puggies some food
-go to trader joe's to get the meditterranean feast

I think that is a good list for super bowl sunday. I have no desire to watch it, so I am hoping that the places on the strip that I have to go to (sephora and UO) will be dead because of the game....

we will have to see about this one.

Divorce....horrible thing

So, one of my closest friends here in Las Vegas has been married for almost 2 years, and with the same guy for like 8. They were the cutest couple ever, but he recently (as recent as 2 days ago) chose to make really bad choices and decided he wanted to divorce her. Her heart is so completely broken.

So I have been spending time with her, to try to get her mind off of things. She is just so devastated. My heart breaks for her. I mean, how much can one little person go through? So I spent the day with her and took her to run errands, and now I am kinda sad too. Poor thing. I feel really bad.

I guess it doesn't' help that I am watching a show on serial killers. ugh.


day 2 of Murad acne complex: nothing new....no new changes.


I am about to go to sephora. I can smile now.

one more system...

Well, bottom line: acne sucks.

I have been dealing with it all of my life, with the help of a dermatologist on and off now for about 15 years. I just can't win. So, since my face didn't get better on crazy drugs, I decided to go the proactiv route. It worked for about a year, and then stopped all of a sudden. I am giving one more system a last shot....the Murad system.... and if it doesn't work, I am thinking I might get a chemical peel or soemthing. I can't do this shit anymore. My skin is nasty, and I take better care of it than just about any fucking person I know. WTF? I really am putting faith into the Murad system. I have heard wonders about it....so I am going to hope and pray to the gods above that it works. Acne sucks balls. big massive ones.


Sophia's birthday was so much fun! I bought her a Juicy Couture collar charm....it's so cute. I got her and Eli party hats and cupcakes and doughnuts (all dog stuff of course). It was so cute. But she ended up having a massive asthma attack and I freaked out. But she is okay now.

So, now I get to go off to 6 hours of infectious disease classes. It's a wonderful thing....to learn about the things I love, but it really sucks with you have class back to back from 4 to 10. FUCK.
