Summer Musings!

Yeah of course summers almost over and I'm just getting around to talking about it on here. This summer wasn't AMAZING or anything...but it was spent with family and friends so I cant complain. 

As usual it was gloomy in June, lots of clouds and walks to the coffee shop for their new cold brew coffee yum! I was counting down the days till mid June because I was going on my week long vacay from life/work/stress/life/stress/work you know... I'll be sharing more on that trip in a later post...

Basically I started my summer off by getting Loki a life vest! He's a boy but hot pink is just so much fun (and was the only one left in his size lol) he loves it as you can see. Many a day was spent by the pool or in it with a beer in hand and some relaxing world groove music in the background to tune out the sound of my anxious thoughts :0

Another favorite thing I did this summer was go for walks, weather on the trail or in the town I brought Loki with me and sometimes my crazy guy ;) some people said I looked like I lost weight, must be all the walking I do with the dog lately...however I feel like I gained it back from eating vicarious amounts of chips and sweet tea! Ooops! 

I tried on almost every piece from the Summer collection at work and fell in love! Summer is my fav time to buy clothes! Everything looks good on me :) I bought quite a few pieces from this collection. Im actually wearing the green shorts as I write this! So go check out WHBM for the end of Summer SALE! Alrighty ya'll I have to get back to doing my house chores before it gets any later! Can't wait to share more! 

Peace Out!

Sunday Funday in Downtown Anaheim

I'm pretty simple in some ways, I love coffee, looking at magical objects and eating flavorful food! One of my rare Sundays off I had nothing to do so I ventured off to Anaheim which is a town over and I brought the dog with me as my date because he loves to people watch with me.  

I went to center street promenade and decided it's time to try out Pour Vida, a latin fusion cafe. They had been doing construction all spring and I was drawn in by the decor and the fact that they sell TACOS! I've since been here a few more times, I've met the owner Jimmy and he is very nice and genuinely has a passion for his business! I say go try it!

There were people that came from all over to try this place and were loving it! I tried all of the tacos from the LAND and I loved the pineapple skirt steak! I was in love with the decor of the patio, the bench in the picture is handmade from cinder blocks and wood and the textile on that cushion is so cute!

Here's a little snippet of the menu, they have a ton of stuff to choose from, they serve alcohol & juices as well and they pair very well with the food! And don't forget happy hour specials!

 TRY IT OUT! 

After eating Loki and I went for a walk to the farmers market and he could not stand the heat any longer and just plopped down on the grass lol. End to a great Sunday!

Target The Military Dog's Bittersweet Story

Todays episode on Oprah featured amazing animals so I tuned in because I have always had a soft spot for animals in my heart. Lot's of the stories were so cute and inspiring, but one in particular was overwhelmingly sad. I was so affected by the story about Lucky, a stray dog from Afghanistan whom helped to stop a suicide bomber from killing sleeping soldiers. While the audience was all weeping at the story I just sat there and thought to myself that is one cool dog. They then brought out Target to the audience and her owner Sgt. Young. She sat down right at his feet and she looked so sweet, loving and innocent with her little beetie eyes.

When Oprah went to a commercial break there was an update on Lucky, which I completely thought was some sort of error. It read that Target had gone missing and that she had accidentally been euthanized by her local animal shelter. I couldn't believe what I had just read! This is one of the saddest things to me and I didn't expect it. I was hoping the update would be something like "Target is having a blast living in the U.S." I know there are more people out there who saw this episode and are just as saddened by this. My throat hurts just thinking about this because it's making my eyes well with tears.

Please Spay and Neuter your pet's if you love them!

Please adopt pet's from shelter if you love them!

Please I.D. Chip pet's if you love them!
