Some may think it is mean to dress up a dog but HOW CUTE IS BAGEL? She actually seems to enjoy wearing her PJ's. She has a red pair too. When I tell her it time for her PJ's and I am holding them she runs up to me and lets me put them on. Oh and yes I am the one who cuts her hair! She is pretty calm and stays still for it. The hard part is her face due to the fact that she thinks to sissors are a toy. There for wants to bite at them. Silly girl!!! 

Me and my Aunt in the Bean

 

Chicago

Last weekend I had a chance to catch up with one of my Aunts. We had been trying to get together and our scheduled did not match. Finally...They did. I caught a train in Fox Lake IL. on Saturday morning. Thinking I would just relax till I got to her station I sat back and started my I Pod. Then the strangest thing happened. I saw a friend that I have lost touch with for the past year. She had been living in Chicago but has been staying with family and commuting for work. I watched her get on the train and then joined her. It was so nice to talk and the ride flew by. My Aunt joined us about half way downtown. We got to talk about so many things and what we have been up to.
Once in Chicago we went for breakfast then walked around. Saw the sights including Millennium Park and Navy Pier. My Aunt was the perfect person to go to a sculpture exhibit. It was amazing to see how talented and weird artists are. Some of the art was so detailed I just wanted to stare at it. Others made me just wonder what they were thinking when it was created. All the art was for sale but I forgot to bring money and the cheapest thing was around $3000. Most of it was WAY more! I still can't figure out what my favorite thing was. To hard, just way to hard!
After a wonderful day we caught the train back that was a few minutes late. Finally off our feet and relaxed and continued talking. I had a awesome time!!!
Till... Around libertyville...Train stopped for 35 minutes! I was trying to get back on time so I could meet up with friends for a movie. I made it! Not sure how though. I got off the train 40 minutes late at 6:45pm; drove 15 minutes north to my home to let my dog out. Got back in the car and drove a hour to Deer Park for the movie at 8:00pm.
All together a great day!!!

Birthdays

I recieved a birthday card last year and hoped it was not true. On it was written "this will be your best Birthday ever" Some would just read it and say oh how nice. Not me. With my twisted mind it made me think that that would be my BEST EVER birthday and all birthdays after would be worse.
I have laughed about that a few times and am glad it was not true. Yesterday was my Birthday and even though I had to work it was one of the best days I have had in a while. I went out the night before with a friend to just have a drink and celebrate my last hours of being 30. Well after a couple drinks and a wonderful conversation it was almost midnight. He did not have to twist my arm to get me to have another drink and stay to welcome in my 31st Birthday. I am so glad I did and the entire bar sang to me. Cheers and dancing. It was so much fun!!! I finally got home at about two in the morning. Slept for about four hours then got up for work.
On my way to work I had calls and tx messages from friends and family. Helped wake me up and smile some more. I worked at two locations on Wednesday and my co-workers and my patients gave me cards and a gifts. I thank them all for their kindness.
After work I met up with two of my long time friends I worked with years ago. We get together once and a while to catch up. Had a nice dinner and good conversation. I miss seeing them everyday and love to enjoy there company.
After dinner talked some more with one of the friends as the other had to get home. I then went home and snuggled on the couch with my Bagel Dog.
So it was a wonderful Birthday and I look forward to trying to top it every year!!!
