{BEDM} My first job.

I was oblivious during my Senior year in high school. I was also the first to graduate, so I had no idea I had to register for college classes early. This mean that I missed my Fall semester classes, so what was I to do with my newly found free time? Get a job. Get my FIRST job. I only applied at one job, I only did one interview, and got the job. Eco Thrift. My first job was working at the infamous (I did not know it at the time. See, oblivious)thirft store. This thift store is so popular right now, it's crazy crowded all of the time. It was fun times there. Different people, mostly young, working on the sales floor. What was even more awesome? It was only a 15 minute walk. Score! Well, except since it was Summer time, it wasn't quite the big score...but I saved on gas. So yes/yes?!

{BEDM} Puppies!

I love dogs. I mean I really love dogs, that it makes sense that I work at a grooming shop (front desk.) I love seeing all the dogs come in. In fact, I was setting up a display when this giant Labradoodle came rushing in and jumped on me--he hugged me guys! There have been many dogs that have come in and just won me over, but none like my dogs.

I've introduced Jambi around here a few times. He's my baby. In other words, he's MY dog where as my other loves were family dogs. Make sense? Jambi is aJack Russel and Yorkie mix. We've had him since he was 6 months old and now he's 57years old (8 years old in our time.) In fact, he just celebrated his 8th birthday with Michael. We don't know the exact date of when in April, but April is definitely his birth month. 

 Here he is in his Security Guard uniform.

He was 1 year old here.

 Look at that face! 

 Right now, he's semi-blue and do for a hair cut!  

 See? Hair cut time!

{BEDM} Five Fave Blogs

Time to share the love!

The mission today is to write about my five favorite blogs. Easy, right? Not so quite since it's hard to just pick 5!

Sam Sherman

This girl is fun. She also vlogs on her youtube channel as well as do make-up tutorials. She vlogs every day about smoothie recipes, family life, or just a make-up tutorial. 

E, Myself, and I

Meet Elizabeth. I've been following her blog for some time. It all stared with her weekly link-up, "Midweek Confessions." Her confessions are always hilarious and I totally can relate.

I Wore Yoga Pants

Whitney is an old time friend of mine. We go way back before blogging was even cool. Yep, the time when it was all about Livejournal. I love reading her "What the What Wednesday's" and catch up on all of the celeb gossip.

The Photographer, The Brewer, and the Catnip

This is a blog about soon to be newly weds and the family they have started (with two cats.) So much fun to read.

Kandee Johnson

This one is a way popular blog. Kandee Johnson is such an inspiration. She is so full of love and life. If you need an uplifting moment, read her blog. You will love it!

{BEDM} A day in the life...

I slept in a little. Shower time (lovin' the Ivory 2in1 Hair and Body wash.) My new faves for dark circles!

7:00am

Alarm goes off {{{buzz}}} time to get up, shower and go to work.

8:00am

Coffee time/breakfast or whatever. This portion of my morning is dedicated to getting Michael and the hubs out the door by 8:30 (that's if Steve starts the morning shift.) If a nine in the morning shift is not included in my day.... Sleep in? Perhaps for 30 more minutes.

9:00am
I should be dropping off Steve at his job and on my way to my mom's to drop off Michael for the day. If time allows it, I can hang out for twenty minutes before I head over to work. If not, then I just drop him off, say Hola and head on over.

 

10:00am
I'm at my desk. "Good mornings" are greeted and I'm checking in clients for their doggies or kitties appointments. Mind you, they too have to look good for the warmer weather :) I check them in, set them up in the back for their appointment and confirm information with the furbabies owners.

11:00am
Time to return all of the calls from yesterday (after I clock out, messages start to pile up.) So now is the time to return all of them from yesterday and any I missed this morning. Luckily lunch is around the corner.

12:00pm
Clients! Appointments! Registration! Phone calls! Questions!  

1:00pm
Lunch time!I had to go to my mom's house and drop off some milk and orange juice for the little ones. Much needed. Plus I was able to enjoy my lunch with my handsome.

2:00pm
On my way back from lunch, I had a hankering to listen to Selena. It's been ages since I have listened to her music. After getting back, I had some time to browse the internet. I ran into some old pictures on my facebook. Here we are full of hair. Now, my hair is up to my shoulders and hubster has a bald head. Ha!

  
3:00pm
After "doing work" it's time to actually finish up and make calls. I have an hour left so I have to finish all of my work. It is the end of my work week after all.

4:00pm. 
Time to go home. Run an errand or two. Pick up Michael! I miss my little crazy boy.

5:00pm & 6:00pm
Now that we are home, it's time to clean up the house and do laundry. How fun, right?

7:00pm
Time to pick up Steve and head back home for dinner. 


8:00pm
Clean up whatever dishes were left over from dinner. How fun. Clean clean clean.

9:00pm
Michael's bedtime ritual begins-- Bath, milk, and cuddles.

10:00pm
I like watching the news. It helps with allergies. Since I live in California, allergies are unpredictable. Winds can wreak havok to my eyes, nose, and throat. Now time for bed by 10:45pm

{BEDM} Spring favorites

Day two for the Blog Every Day in May has arrived and the question that has been asked is:

What is your favorite thing about Spring? What plans do you have to enjoy it?

via
I'm loving all of the blooms. Although I hate the allergies that come with it, everything is so pretty right now.

Birds singing in the early morning. How "Disneyesque" is that? It truly feels like I am either Snow-white or another Disney Princess waking up in the woods. Beautiful.

 Is that not adorable?! Oh my goodness. Spring tends to bring out all the baby animals. It's full of cute! How can you not love Spring?
