Julie's Journal

Our chihuahua puppy is doing much better about not peeing in the house. I’m following the suggestions that I got, and they seem to be working. It’s still a lot more work than I had expected, but it will be worth it in the end when he’s completely house broken.

I wrote a post about sleepy puppy awhile back and how I didn’t want to buy him just any of the pet beds that they have at the pet stores around here. I wanted him to have my comfy blanket I bought at REI. He’s so spoiled!

His new trick now is crawling under the blanket and covering himself up. Here are a couple pictures I took while he was trying to sleep. Doesn’t he look annoyed??? HA!

Anyone want to buy a log cabin in the mountains of Idyllwild, California? The escrow fell through on my brother in laws cabin and it’s on the market again.

You can see the listing on this page. It is the 13th one down on the page.

Perfect weekender. Two bedrooms, 1.5 baths. Open living area and dining area to kitchen. Laundry and mud room. Deck off of front bedroom. Fenced back yard with deck. Pull-in parking for easy access. Walk to town. Priced to sell. $184,500

If you like it, make us a reasonable offer and then pack up your moving trucks! Idyllwild, California is a really neat town filled with lots of shopping and family owned businesses.

Man I was so happy when I fit into my jeans the other day, but now I am sad. I pulled them out of the dryer this morning and discovered a rip right by the pocket.

Now I know my butt isn’t THAT big that it caused the fabric to stretch and tear like that, right?? Sigh…I hope not anyway.

I was planning on wearing these tonight on the PhotoWalk also! I guess it’s better than having to slap on acne scars cream or something. At least with my new found sewing skills~~*cough cough*~~ I can sew that right up, put on a long top, and wear them anyway.

The guys from Twitter came to my husbands old job a few months ago. He was kind enough to get me a Twitter t-shirt, but it was a size small, and a super small at that. There was no way that I could ever wear it, but I didn’t want to just let it hang in my closet. I dug it out of my closet and decided to make a bag out of it that I can carry my camera in when I go on my PhotoWalk tomorrow night.

So if you see a girl walking around with a Twitter T-shirt bag, you’ll know it’s me! Please come up and say hi!

It got dark out by the time I finished, so the lighting makes it look darker. HA!

Here’s the Twitter t-shirt before:

Here’s the Twitter t-shirt bag after:

I haven’t sewn in quite a few years, and I’m just not that good at it, but overall I’m happy with the way it came out. You won’t see me taking up sewing as a small business opportunity anytime soon though. I just got too frustrated trying to make this.

I’m getting excited about Blog World Expo coming up this weekend. I was able to get a free exhibit badge from a really nice girl on Twitter. She hooked me up, so now I get to go, and I get to meet her also for the first time. I missed it last year because we were out partying the night before until 4AM, and I just couldn’t drag my ass out of bed to go.

Tomorrow around 4:00PM I am picking up Drew from the airport, then taking him down to his hotel. We’ll probably see Brett sometime after that, and hopefully go grab a bite to eat at In N Out.

Around 6:00PM I’ll be making my way to Caesars Palace to meet up with Darren Rowse and the rest of the group for the Digital Photography School Photowalk. I am super excited about this even though I am a point and shoot kinda girl. I’m sure I will learn a lot from this group.

After the walk, I’m sure we’ll meet up for some beers somewhere, but I’m making it an early night. I am not missing the exhibits on Saturday! If you’ll be there give me a shout and we can meet up!
