Things that make me smile....

I'm blessed to have the world's greatest boyfriend who makes me smile and sometimes laugh so hard i cry.  we just have too much fun together.  Anyways, my sweetheart inspired todays blog.  While he makes me smile, a text message he sent me today inspired me to post some other images of things that make me smile.  he sent me this picture of this dog today.. the dogs name is calvin.... so cute

is that not adorable?  i think his name should be tigger, but calvin works even though it should be hobbes!
anyways, these made me smile today so i thought i'd share....

and then my own little man.....  i could have a whole website with the million on pics i have of him!!!

my current loathe list!!!! argh

I am in a mood.... and i feel bad for anyone in my way.  I am sure any girl can relate to having one of these days where we can just flip a switch from Snow White to Cruela Deville in 2 seconds.  Thats me today.  hi!
I'm sure if it wasnt for the fact that I have PMS and the pimples to prove it right now i'd still be in a mood... Here's why (some of these you may not get):

1) 3 weeks ago, my phone went swimming in my handbag because i put a waterbottle in my bag to free up my hand so i could carry a big stainless steel garbage can to the cash register for my new place.  SO.. I finally replaced it this weekend.  I dont need another phone since my company pays for one but i like a little seperation between business and pleasure.  so i wanted to just get a prepaid phone since i really do not use it.  well sprint doesnt allow you to take your number over to prepaid.  OK FINE... anyways so i get a new phone.  its cute, i like it.  I get home and started putting numbers in it and showing michael my new toy and well while it works.... anyone who calls me shows up as  "no id" and my voicemail is shut off.....  I finally got an answer today and apparently the dude who "helped" me turned off  ALL my services when he changed my phone.  thats been a week long headache!

2) i have more pimples on my face at 25 years old than i did all through highschool added up.  whats up with that.  I probably take better care of my face now than EVER  and now i want to get pimples.  and not just pimples, but one on the dimple right between your upper lip and the middle of your nose, one in the middle of my chin and a huge one on my cheek and one huge right next to the corner of my mouth.  UGH.  being a girl sucks sometimes....

3) all you other design friends of mine can probably relate.... but SKETCHUP.  omg.  my file is huge and the littlest thing it just sits there and thinks and processes the fact that its about to blow my computer up....  its taking years to move things i swear.  argh

on the flip side..... there are a few things that are keeping me smiling at the moment
1) my boo.... he puts up with me and is such a doll.  you know what they say, behind every good man is a good woman.... well it might be the flip side for us.  he's the best!!  oh how i love him.
2) we're going to see Shrek the musical next week and the dynamo game this weekend! whoo hoo
3) my new apt.... its so cute.  i just love it
4) call me a big chic for this one, but my new handbag.  thank you chirp machine.  Check it out.  http://www.chirpchic.com/.  designer vending machines at the grocery store with ridiculously affordable prices. 
5) my family and friends.  i love you guys....


 NOW IF MY PHONE AND SKETCHUP WOULD JUST COOPERATE I MIGHT NOT HAVE PIMPLES AND THEN I MIGHT NOT WANT TO GO OFFICE SPACE ON MY COMPUTER!!!!!  :)

the cliffnotes version

Well... i TECHNICALLY could have a lot to write about since my life has been a million miles a minute and i could easily have a handful of blogs documenting ALL  of those things but why not sum it up for a change instead of the typical Emily rambling on and on......

MOVING- i moved from midtown to the heights area and boy do i LOVE  the heights!  such a cute area.  i feel much safer and we love our apartment.... so does the dog!  it just took forever to get out of one apartment into the other and rid of the place.  i guess thats what happens when you find a good deal you do what you gotta do!   i had my walk through of my old place yesterday.  bittersweet, but boy am i happy!  my new place has the biggest most modern kitchen, a washer and dryer ( boy did i take that for granted in college), a walk in closet (took that for granted too!) and a massive bathroom ( yep it too).  vintage apartment life was fun and it was cute but man is the new place 1000x better!

CRAIGSLIST-  i have a love hate with craigslist.  I love that i made $2000 selling my stuff to buy all new stuff, but i hate the hassle of reposting things over and over.  i did it for over a month.  had numerous garage sales where 20 ppl tell me they are coming and don't show.  People try and haggle to basically GIVE  your stuff away.  ugh such a pain in my butt.  finally last thursday a single mom of 3 came by with her boys and went through all i had and gave me $50 for what was left.  Had i sold the things she took at the garage sales like people had requested those items. it would have been HUNDREDS  of dollars!  she took everything basically, but it was just going to be donated the next day so better than nothing and we helped her out.

NCIDQ- i took my interior design license exams a few weeks back.  hardest thing i've ever taken.  i have to wait 14 weeks before i know!  argh!!!!!!!!

FURNITURE SHOPPING- we have done some massive furniture shopping for our new place.  it has been hard and time consuming finding things i like.  then when we do,we have the biggest issue with customer service, delivery people.  ugh its been a hassle.   our bedroom set was to be delivered last night and well long story but it didnt.  i was a fan of highfashion home store before.... not so much anymore.

MY MOM MOVED BACK- yep thats right she moved back to a cute new house on the other side of town so now we get to do girl stuff a lot.  sadly enough, her dog died right before she moved :(  the whole family has been pretty torn up about it.  i cannot even imagine if something happened to my puppy.  oh how we fall in love with our pets!

well i got more going on but thats the big things.  i'm really just losing my desire and the time to blog.... anybody else have that problem????
