August 2nd, 2012: Cool cut, ring

I was about to type "Look at this cool cat." but then I realized Charli is a dog so she would probably not appreciate being called that.  Also she was feeling a bit warm because her tongue is sticking out.

Can you guess who got a hair cut?  I'll give you a hint. It wasn't me.

She looks rather derpy in this picture but hey, that's my dog for you.

I don't think it was too traumatic for her.  The groomer did say she is not fond of the blow dryer so it took a bit longer than usual.  I forgot to mention that she was because I tried to blow dry her once myself and she was not having any of those shenanigans.

I'm sure she feels good to finally be able to see again and also have a bit of her fluff off in this hot weather.  Her nails were getting long too.  Poor girl is just so abused by me, right?  Although the report card they gave me said she passed. Phew! Didn't know she was getting graded. Could have studied first!

She is less of a piglet this time around.  I could've had her shaved that short but I wanted some fur still left.  She is super soft now.

While she was getting her hair did I had to find a way to spend my three hours waiting.  So I went on an adventure.  I just started driving around randomly and ended up in an area with super large houses.  The size of house that I just can't understand why anyone would want to live in something so large.  Not so big that you could be in the house and not see someone for days, but quite large none-the-less. Then I saw a garage sale sign.

The fact there was a garage sale sign in such a neighborhood seemed strange enough to me that I had to go see what was what.  When I arrived at the garage sale I noticed everything was way high priced.  They didn't really understand that garage sales are usually to just get rid of junk and make a few bucks and not to make 40 bucks on some ugly pink 'granite' side table. Seriously that thing was ugly.

Needless to say I left without having bought anything.  I didn't even buy a pop from the snobby whiny kid who was trying to make money for 'camp'.  I'm sorry but when you have enough office chairs to fill what I assume is your conference room in your giant house I find it really hard to give you my hard earned money to send your kid to camp that you can most likely afford.

After that I had to find my way out of that expensive neighborhood and made it back to a more familiar area.  I found a couple more garage sale signs and I decided to compare prices between an upper class garage sale and a middle class one.  Lets just say my findings were what I expected.  Lots of things for a dollar and plenty of furniture for cheap.  I could have bought an entire water bed set for 65 dollars and at that rich people sale I could of maybe bought a table for that.

Needless to say I did not buy a waterbed, but I did find something.

I found this super pretty ring!  I was just digging through all of the nicely labeled jewelry.  There was a really pretty broach in there that I thought about getting but I decided I never really would ever wear it.  I'm not really sure what you wear them on.  I just think broaches are pretty.

Anyway, after digging for awhile I picked up this baggy with this particular ring in it and when the sun caught it just right I actually made an audible gasp. Nothing huge or noticeable but if you were next to me you might've been able to hear it.  It was beautiful.  Guess what else?  It fit perfectly on my finger. It was like I was meant to have it.  I've never been one for wearing jewelry because of my allergy to certain metals, but I just had to buy it.

It was the best dollar I spent all day.
