urban crust has the best bathrooms in town!

i finally went and got a new chi, and straightened my hair. i miss straight hair! i love my hair straight because it's so much more manageable!

thursday came around, which meant gigi was in town, and we made plans to meet at a groovy little place in plano (one of their old favorites) URBAN CRUST. it was worth the drive! they had a wonderful rooftop area.

i had to stop in the restroom on the way up, and i was very impressed! it was beautifully decorated!!

this is inside the stall...i mean, classy.

 it was good just to be together to hang out and catch up and all while eating some amazing pizza! good times!

miss having this mug around campus!

then yesterday at school, i may have contributed to our collective for the powerball-let's go cabell! and so i went to the website to read frequently asked questions, and if you have not, you have to because it is really funny!!so of course, in my mind, i've figured out all sorts of creative ways to use the money!

after school, i went out to the garden and started to layer the 2nd compost bin, because they had thrown all of the leaves into one bin without putting any nitrogen components...so it just had the carbon. that will take forever to decompose. so i took out some of the items i had been saving up in my room (which were beginning to smell rather ripe)....and today i am feeling it in my shoulders! boo.

this morning i had to take the boys in to get their nails clipped again, and of course, it goes without saying (yet i will say it anyway)...as soon as we entered, i was already having to look for the nearest cleaning supply station. bruno. and then again...#2, while we were waiting for chaco. when chaco was done, they paged us to bring bruno back. when we reached the groomer door, there was another dog, and he was marking the door from the inside. the owner didn't see it, so i waited until she turned around to go in so that she would know it was her dog, not mine and clean it up. (my plan worked!)

the lady turned around, saw the mess and asked for paper towels, then started cleaning; she opened the door to get what had seeped under and the dog walked out into the petsmart and then she had to go running after her dog, and i slipped in and traded bruno for chaco. when we were all done, we went out and bruno decided he wasn't interested in going anywhere and just laid down.

not impressed with the heat

i took them fro a walk when we got back, and bruno said, "i'm done. it's summer, and it's too hot for walks in texas. unless you get me an airconditioned ball to walk in, i am not interested in going for too many walks this summer. i would like to just be a lap dog and lounge around on the couch." maybe we will have to settle for airconditioned car rides...

then i left and did some shopping for some small things i needed, but i couldn't find some of the things i was really looking for. i did find these things:

i LOVE little things..here's a little cup of joe.

i love sock money pin...

and when a creepy doll says make me your friend...hmm.

on the way home, i saw a little smart car, and this was so creative!

see the wind-up key on the back?!

and then i remembered i received a flier in the mail for teachers to get $1000 off on the purchase of a smart car...a play on teachers and smart, i'm sure...no way my friend. i don't think i'm looking for smart next time...i think it will be adventurous next time!
