Dawn Saves Wildlife

Dawn dish soap has always been my preferred dish soap, I love the way it smells. I think it comes my Hot Dog on a Stick days. We always used Dawn. However, I am now officially declaring my dedication and loyalty to Dawn dish soap, and you should too. Why should you make such a commitment you ask?.....Well, click on the link below to find out

Isn't that about the saddest/cutest thing you have ever seen? So every time you buy any size bottle of Dawn dish liquid it equals one dollar toward saving wildlife hurt by oil spills and other pollutants. But here's the catch, you have to go to www.dawnsaveswildlife.com and enter the number from the back of the bottle. When I entered the bottle I bought today the donation total was only at $11,236, and Nevada is only responsible for $126 of that. Be sure to pick up a bottle the next time you're at the store!

Seriously?...That's just wierd

The other day I was Walmart doing my grocery shopping, and I stopped by the book section. I'm a book geek...get over it. Anyway- I always stop by just to see if they have anything new....which they never do. Walmart's book selection sucks. However, I was scanning the shelves to see if anything caught my eye and this is what I saw....This is just wierd. Who comes up with this stuff?

Are you a serious reader?

A while ago my friend Karen sent me an invite to a new website called goodreads.com. At first I was thinking "great one more website I need to join". This is actually a really cool website if you are a serious reader. You follow your "friends" and see what books they are currently reading, what books they've read, and what they want to read. You recommend and rate your books. One of my book clubs is on there and it's a really easy way to have discussions or to send out messages about book club meetings. I just realized I probably sound like the biggest nerd right now... but I love to read! I always have. Anyway if you're into reading, check it out. www.goodreads.com

Jack+Abbie= 4 ever

Ever since we "adopted" Jack, he has gotten along really well with Abbie. She tolerates him a lot more than the other dogs do. She is so nice :) He follows her EVERYWHERE. At first we joked that Jack was in love with Abbie, but now I know, he really is in love with her. I stayed with the dogs at Dick and Christy's while they were out of town, so I snapped a few pictures. I took them with my phone, so they are kind of dark but you get the idea.
Jack, Abbie and Hunter. They are all lined up here because they like to lay next to the fan.

This is how Jack and Abbie started out when I was getting ready for work.And slowly, Jack started inching closer...

and closer, until....
he won her over. They are so in love :)

Book of the month

Last month we read My Sister's Keeper....it was really good. It grabs you right away and draws you into the plot. And you get to know all the characters really well. It was very thought provoking. What will you do to protect/save your child....anything you have to right? But do you do it at the expense of your other child? Where's that line, and how do you know if you've crossed it? I would definitely recommend it.

The book for this month is Tuesday's with Morrie. I have been having a hard time getting into this book, but the other girls in the book club have said that they really like it. I probably just need to focus and stop reading 3 books at one time. I'll let you know how it turns out.

My Personal Urban Dictionary

My friend Tasean works with me at the Wynn. On his facebook page he has started to post a word of the week. He says "I have some, let's just say, urbanly challenged friends. They need a little education on our language. So here is what I'm doing, every Monday I will give a word & I need all of you to let them know the definition."

Have you ever heard of cupcakin ?.....me either.

Cupcakin: Refusing to hang out with your friends on scheduled activities/events to spend your every waking moment doing everything your significant other wants to do

How about duckets....i know, who comes up with this stuff

Duckets: money

I don't get it. why not just say money?? Well, at least I have Tasean to act as my own personal urban dictionary.
