Lucky no more

Little Tzatziki??

I'm thinking about getting a puppy.

My friend Lane has a 4 month old Yorkshire Terrier, Lucky, and with her crazy schedule she doesn't feel like she can take care of him like she should. So that's where I come it.

But the name "Lucky" would have to go...
These are the alternative names I've come up with so far:

1. Pickle
2. Chilli
3. Flapjack
4. Max
5. Frankie
6. Henry
7. Tevye
8. Peanut
9. Wedge
10. Lando
11. Rhett
12. Oliver
13. Riff
14. Roscoe
15. Harry
16. Chewie
17. Tzatziki
18. Stoli
19. Neville
20. Charlie

Any opinions?

Up and running

For most, starting a new business is a real bitch.

I have found my experience thus far quite enjoyable.

I am up and running my jewelry business through Etsy.com, which by the way is an amazing website. I can get myself a one of a kind piece and feel good about supporting an undiscovered artist.

When I sat on those long, boring flights, I would find myself doodling, inadvertently designing jewelry. So over the last few months I have been working on my line and now it's open to the public. I simply loaded photos up, wrote out descriptions and there it was, up and running. Etsy doesn't take a huge cut like ebay does and the community is much more supportive.

Got any handmade wonders at your house? Sign up and go for it on Etsy. I love it and you will too.

Just a few of my favorite painters and my favorite works of theirs-

• Gustav Klimt (see Tree of Life, Musique, Adele Bloch

  

  BauerI)
• Maxfield Parish (see The Dinky Bird, Ecstasy)
• Maurice Sendak (see Where the Wild Things Are)
• Tamara Lempicka (see La Dormeuse)
• Marc Chagall (see La Mariee, Promanade, Les Fiancees)
• Van Gogh (see Almond Branches)
• Auguste Rodin (see Hands, Kiss)
• Da Vinci (see Female Head)
• Picasso (see Blue Nude, Dog)
• Degas (see Le Tub)
• Edvard Munch (see Madonna, Vampire)
• Amedeo Modigliani (see any portrait)
• Ando Hiroshige (see Navaro Rapids)
• Monet (see Poppies, San Giorgio Maggiore)
• Rembrandt (see A sketch of Hansken)

Screw V-----'s Day

I will not be bitter.

Just because I'm going through a love crisis doesn't mean I can't be filled with love on this corporate made holiday.

My best friend Benny gave me a bear with a heart on it's belly, holding a bag full of chocolates. He said that he knew I hated V day but that he thought it was a nice gesture and he knew I needed a little something. Sweet guy. Good friend. Cute bear.

So I will accept that V day is about recieving love from friends, family and the universe and not necessarily from a boyfriend.

But I'm still not going to say the word.

Happy V day everyone. And share the love.

Car drama-rama

"aka give the mechanic $400"

Why?

Why, whenever it rains it pours?

My car got rear ended and essentially destroyed. Fine. The asshole runs off but conveniently leaves his license plate. Awesome. But for some unexplainable reason, my insurance and his insurance can seem to play nice and I still have yet to receive my deductible back. Sweet. So I buy a new used car and it's been great, except last night, Day 5 of ownership, the check engine light comes on and now I've got to pay for a diagnostic. Groovy. And to top off my crap cake, I got my medical bills from the accident yesterday and I own the gross nation product of a small third world country. Fan-freaking-tastic.

I'm getting the sage out PRONTO and giving my car a spiritual karmic overhaul. Maybe a bit of chanting. Or some ritual dancing.

*UPDATE*
Make that $600. Had to replace the temperature gauge and a few other things. Thank you certified used....
