the sun, it rises slowly as you walk

So today I saw and pet the cutest pit bull puppy. Her name was Zoe and she hopped all over me when a fellow resident at my apartment exited the elevator with her pup, who was apparently excited to see me! I want to bite her, she was so cute--a habit I must have picked from my grandmother. She used to always bite the grandchildren's cheeks because she found us so adorable. She continued to do this for years even though she'd bite me and I'd cry. Now I always want to bite cute things as well. Strange, I know.

My Grandma Long was amazing. She was a thief. You couldn't bring her into a Sears department store without her walking out with items stuffed under her arm or in a bag that magically appeared from thin air. Once she suffered a stroke she couldn't work anymore and she found so much joy in giving during Christmas, that she couldn't stop giving even when she couldn't afford to. Every year from then on we'd open gifts knowing damn well Grandma stole them. She was quite the character.

This is my clearance Urban Outfitters outfit. I got the sweater for like $5, the shorts half off last summer because the zipper is broken and the boots for $20.

hehehe Tiek eating a taco during the Academy Awards viewing party sponsored by Dove. Tieka hosted this at her cute apartment and so six girls got together, pigged out on tacos and cookies and made fun of the reporters on the red carpet. Check Tieka's blog, Selective Potential for more details on the party and photos of the girls that I took!
