Save A Sato

Most people already know that my crazy dog Roxie was a stray rescued in Puerto Rico. She is already 6 years old but she was born on an island that is over populated by stray dogs and a lack of education and compassion about the problem. When she was 6 months old she was hit by a car and suffered a broken leg, which i attribute to her being rescued by the Save A Sato organization.

I love Roxie very much, she is the most loyal dog i have ever had and her personality far exceeds her behavioral shortcomings.

I love Puerto Rico, it's a beautiful island and i have vacationed there several times. Each time i am overcome with sadness at the amount of stray dogs wandering around, clearly unhealthy and malnourished. It was the saddest this past year because i knew that Roxie was at home in Boston and that without the kidness and donations of compassionate caring people, she would still be wandering the island.

It's a cause that is worth reading up on. There are lots of things you can do, from donating to the Sato rescue organization itself, to contributing to a local shelter that works with the rescuers in Puerto Rico. Definitely visit the site and read!

anthropologie

As mentioned in the previous post, i want to buy everything from the Anthropologie catalog. I want my house to look like that, i want to dress to perfection each and everyday. I mean jeez, i even dream of having the model's hair (she has a slightly better color then i have and it's seriously making me consider getting professional color done)
sadly i will have to post these inspirations when i get home, because i do not have an updated flash player installed at work, :(

for serious

In anticipation of a friends wedding, i am doing some perusing online for little dresses and shoes. i could post every cute thing i have seen, instead i will just post these fabulous Payless finds. . . yes, Payless. Because i can't rightfully afford the lovely Anthropologie shoes i would like instead...

either way

Patricia Field @ Payless, for real? bestill my heart!
Shoes!

these are my favorite from the line, the rest are really not my style. but super cute. i am a big fan of top designers bringing it down a notch for us poor folk. :)

I'm Sick

So instead of coming up with clever content or musings on my life and world, i will just steal musings from others. . .

Manic Pixie Dream Girls
you know, think, Natalie Portman ala Garden State or Kate Hudson ala Almost Famous. What's cute is that both Kate and Goldie make the list, as does The Apartment which is something i heard about in Mad Men the other night and this is going to the top of my Netflix

How i want my life?
ok since JP and i have agreed to never get married, i guess my dream life is out the door. But to say i wasn't happiest when i wasn't working and i spent my days cleaning the house and making dinner so it was all ready at 530 when he walked in the door, would be a lie. no kids, no job. sounds great to me. sadly i don't think my "husband" would be quite so supportive :)

so domestic

working from 11am -7pm means i miss out on doing some of the things i really enjoy, like making dinner. JP loves to cook and makes really great, creative meals, so i can't complain. But i want the process to feel more shared. I love cooking so, i am kinda bummed that i get out of work too late to feasibly make a dinner for us. This morning however i got to be all domestic before work, and hopefully enjoy the fruits of my morning when i get home. While watching Mad Men this morning before work i whipped up a lasagna. It's now all ready and in the fridge so when JP gets home he can simply turn the oven on and put it in. I'm really excited about this! I am thinking our next household purchase might be a crock pot.
