Life has been pretty good for this little pup lately. It turns out that the kids I nanny for are completely smitten by him, so they encourage me to bring him almost everyday. It is a win-win-win. They get to hang out with an awesome dog, I get paid to spend time with my dog, and he gets out of the house!

It's really pretty perfect.

Also, did you know that apparently no one cares if you bring your dog into the grocery store? 

No one stopped me... And the cashier loved him...

Lately on Instagram...

1. Me and my buddy in the car // 2. I will keep going to the pediatrician until they tell me I can't // 3. Bro-in-law's shorts

4. Sol Food! // 5. My favorite baby // 6. Spoiled dog

7. Empty dog park // 8. Cookies Rule Everything Around Me // 9. Feeling like a 50's housewife

10. New glasses! // 11. The hair salon // 12. Babysitting.

Oh how I love weekends. I love getting to spend time with friends and family, exploring the city and eating good food.

This weekend I went to dinner with some friends, got my hair done, went to San Francisco with my dad and his fiancé to take photos of them, ate a great italian place in the Castro, got some new glasses in SF, went to church, and worked at Lucky!

Wow that seems like a lot now that I write it all out! Crazy that next weekend will be even busier...

Anyhow, it is always funny returning to school and work after a haircut. I feel unrecognizable sometimes, but I like it & love all the compliments I have been receiving about my new hair :)

Here's to a good week!

I finally did it.

Surprise!!!

Yep! I finally went red! More ginger I suppose, but I'm not really an expert on all things concerning red hair. So I will just say this: I think I like it. It is so very different. I have been blonde my entire life, but this...this just feels kind of liberating! I was scared, but you only live once and it is only hair. Plus, fall is coming and what better time to go red than fall? I got a much needed haircut and rid of those awful (really, they were horrible) roots. After 3 hours at the hair salon, I'd say it was a productive Saturday.

Also, let it be noted that these shoes are horrific. I snatched them up on a super sale at Urban Outfitters (they were only $14!) and when they arrived in the mail, they were utterly disappointing. Not to mention that I read the product reviews after I had already ordered them in-store, and only bad things were said. When I opened them up, the wood platform was beat up and part of it was cracked like someone took a hammer to it. And the fit, oh goodness, don't get me started. My pinky toe sticks out the side of one of them AND I seriously fell on my bum TWICE while taking these photos. One second I was standing and the next I was on the ground. They are a death trap, and no it is not due to my lack of experience wearing high shoes. These shoes just all around suck, and after wearing them just for these photos, the sole was already coming off. Back to Urban they go.

Anyway, I promise my rant is over. Let us rejoice in the name of all things red headed.
