 I just stumbled across a website that has beautiful steamy little girl's clothing.

The past two days I've spent travleing to Lynchburg, VA with Laura. We went to see a band I like from where I grew up in Harrisonburg and also her friend from college live down there.

Meeting her friends was cool as I know more of where she came from, but the most memborable was the naked party we had today in my car.

We danced naked to the entire Rocky Horror soundtrack WHILE DRIVING!!!!!

We also stopped at the marble mansion, Swananoa, which had an open house this weekend by chance and we got to walk the groundsm besides one minor bout today was perfect with lovely company. :D

So if I ever do get either of those internships in NY, they're both about 20 minutes from my sister's apartment via public transport. This is kind of awesome. They are also located rather close to each other. (oh god, please let me be able to intern at world leaders or somewhere else awesome)

I'm always a little intimidated to post here but I am rather happy with my first flossing experience even though it isn't 100% perfect. How do you all get your flossing so even?! Must be practice. Tell me it's practice...
I made 6 very small samples to show my client then once she chose her favourite, I drew a little sketch of what it would look like mirrored.
My first attempt wasn't as even as I wanted which turned out to be a good thing as while redoing the pattern, I decided to make it taller and have more strands going up the one side, 5 instead of the original three.
I am using 3 strands of embroidery floss but next time I'd like to try something with a sheen to it next time.

I took the photo on macro so you could actually see something instead of little blobs. It looks more even in person from about 2 feet away.
The black parts in the grey silk and the macro setting make the machine stitching look so very crooked! It's not perfectly straight/even (I usually have no issues with that, hangs head in shame) but it isn't that bad in person, I swear!

( Snip! )

We took the dogs on a short test hike up in the hill behind the Loma Linda dog park today. I've acquired several books that list dog friendly hiking trails in SoCal, and they emphasise canine good manners, so we wanted to see how they'd do on trails, as opposed to wide open beach. We started out up the dirt road with the Gentle Leaders on, then let them off the leash and they stayed with us pretty well, stopping to chase the occasional lizard into a bush. But they came when they were called, which was what I was most concerned with.

A lot of it was up hill and I had some trouble getting my breath. I've got a touch of asthma and the smoggy air and dust really set it off. May have to break down and carry an inhaler or something. Maybe have an oxygen tank like old Piney on "Sons of Anarchy."

After a 40 min hike we turned the dogs loose in the big dog enclosure at the dog park, where there were plenty of other dogs to play with, including some very friendly pit bulls, including an adorable black and white pup. That breed is really growing on me. I think they are probably as nice as the people who own them, and most of the ones I've met at the dog park and dog beach have been goofy, playful, friendly characters with good socialization skills. The dogs that is, not the owners. Well, the owner were well socialized. And friendly.
