Doggieland

This is going to be a very photo-heavy post, and very dog-heavy photos. Steve and I are sitting Luke, our friend Rosie's dog. Luke is a 6 month old puppy Rosie rescued from the Ojai Humane Society so she isn't sure what breed he is, but I can tell you that he is the third cutest dog I know!





The photos are a bit blurry because I always use the camera on my phone....someday I will invest in a fancy schmancy camera.

SoCal Earthquake

There was a 5.8 earthquake here in SoCal last week and we had a lot of family and friends calling to make sure we were okay, was there any damage, etc? Well, yes, there was damage in our apartment, we're pretty broken up about it but I do think we'll recover someday:

Fruits! AND Vegetables!

In case you didn't know (have you not met me????) I am vegetarian and I love cooking and food--it helps that my boyfriend is a chef, so I get hyper about things that most people couldn't care less about. Like: FARMERS MARKETS!!!! Whoo-hoo!! Seriously, my favorite way to spend the day starts out with the farmers market, especially the one Ventura hosts downtown on Saturday mornings. I love making my way around all the booths on my first lap, checking out produce and prices and making sure my favorite farmer peeps are there. On my second lap I get down to business, chatting with the farmers about their farming practices (organic much preferred, but I like to patronize the smaller farms that practice organic methods and aren't able to afford the intensive organic certification process) and feeling up their yummy produce. There's something very comforting about knowing who did what to your food and making an informed decision about what to purchase. Anyhoo, I have pics of my new favorite shopping tote and all the fabulous fruit and veg I picked up!

Fricking awesome shopping tote, from www.herbivoreclothing.com LOVE THEM

Fresh produce makes me happyyyyyyyyy!!

My Trip to the Police Station

Yeah, so I got arrested a few weeks ago....a policeman attempted to pull me over and I just kept driving, I was one of those low speed chases you see in LA sometimes on the news. Just kidding! Really had you didn't I? I did go to the police station but it was because some jerk made a counterfeit of my ATM card and stole $300 from my checking account--the nerve!! I think they had one of those skimming devices on the pump at the gas station I went to that morning and got all my info that way. I had to stop my account and ATM card and make a statement at the police station, but luckily BofA gave me all my money back right away. Still, I was not happy and if I ever see the counterfeiting jerks, well.....um I guess I'll yell at them?

Here's me, being mad. Little tip, from the nice lady at BofA--always check anywhere you scan your ATM card for a weird looking little box like device, it might be a skimmer! Skimmers=bad.
