Retail Therapy in the Sun...Charity Party for my Sister...



So I'm back from SUNNY Fresno... more and more, I'm getting REALLYYYY annoyed with what type of weather I have to put up with here in the bay- especially in South City/Daly City. I'm constantly in fog, dreary weather, and case in point, I'm in a hoodie all the time. I go to Fresno thinking it'll be the same- um, yea, SUNNY skies, birds are chirping, and I had NOTHING that I brought to Fresno to really dress for it. Thank God for some t-shirts I have stored in Fresno that did the job.

I did MASSIVE retail therapy in the form of Old Navy. I got a coupon for 30% off and with that- I ended up buying FIVE pairs of pants for $100. WTF- i did pretty well if I do say so myself. I so needed it because I was literally wearing my last pair of jeans that had holes with duct tape covered on top of them. Yes, it was that bad. Now, I have 3 NEW pairs of jeans plus 2 casual pants that I can wear...whoo hoo.

The big event this weekend was my sister's charity party for her Team in Training Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. She has to raise a LOT of money but she's training for a marathon(yes, 26 miles) for June. All the money she raises goes to this society. I'm really proud of her and what she's dedicating and I think it's just awesome/amazing to see how far she has come. She's already running 10 miles which is already an incredible feat. Hell, one mile without stopping is awesome in my book. So she had a traffic light party- where people dress up in Red(taken), Yellow(contemplating/complicated relationship), or Green(please date me!) so it was cool to see where people were at. I had fun seeing some of my family friends and just hanging out at the house. The event raised $1240 so it was well worth it... all for charity I say!

The highlight of the party- was of course- my dog, Gubbar. He was in the backyard and some people went to go eat/smoke/chill outside and my dog, of course, was soo excited and played fetch in the pool. Then, he was just the awesome dog of life. He came in- chilled in the corner, and sat/lied down in the corner inside just observing everyone. Everyone kept on commenting what a well behaved dog we had, blah blah, and we were just shocked that he wasn't running around like a bandit like he normally does. He looked like he went to military training school and was just ready for orders if need be... so props to my dog! :)

Ok- thats it for now. Gotta rest for this week- it's going to be a doozy. We have visitors coming to school this week and we have to look awesome in front of them! Wish me luck. 4 days until Spring Break... 4 days till Spring break... I just keep reminding myself of that...
