Contest Giveaway

I have entered to win a handbag from Foley + Corinna. I have come to really love their style over the past week. The fact that I am updating my closet and replacing all of my staple pieces and getting rid of everything that I haven't worn recently is part to blame. I am on a shopping kick and hope to get all the latest styles and have some unique pieces that no one else has.

If you want to enter the contest go to breakfastatsaks.blogspot.com to learn more.

P.S. Runway rundown is one of my new favorite sites and I can see myself spending way too much time on there in the next few days. Thank goodness the weekend is here.

Cook Book

One of my dear friends and zisters is getting married in May and we are creating a cook book for her as part of the lingerie party (it's a really cute idea, ask if you want to learn more). As I have been working on this all I want to do is becoming domestic and stay at home all day cooking, cleaning and crafting. At some point this is going to get me into trouble. Luckily I am not married or engaged and my boy friend lives about 30 minutes away, so this keeps me from cooking every spare moment that I have. Another plus is that I don't want to spend the money on buying the kitchen wares to cook. I have some but I promise you it is not enough to cook a decent meal without having to get very creative.

I will tell you that I am getting crafty, as I bought a new piece of furniture last week and have been trying to figure out what decorations are necessary to make it as cute as possible. I am almost confident that I have figured out what it is lacking and come tomorrow it will be complete. Only one more piece to buy and I promise I will put up pictures when it is done.

I did spend the past two nights working on a picture frame that I received for Christmas. I know it is February and most people would have gotten to it long ago but I have been busy and trying to get stuff done within a reasonable time frame. This particular project just happened to get pushed back. I did however finally get to it and let me say it looks amazing. I spent hours on Wednesday night finding pictures and editing them to make it look perfect. Yesterday I picked up the pictures and the first thing I did when I got home was put them in it and let me tell you that I am so happy that it is finally done. I will post a picture as soon as I have it hanging on my wall, something that I had planned on doing last night but once again it got pushed back. But it will be on my wall tonight (or tomorrow morning) as the people who gave me the frame are coming in town and I want them to see it.

But back to the cookbook... I have loved every minute of making it and wish that I was a good enough writer to become an author and actually write for a living. Maybe in my next life.

Snow Days

Snow days... I thought those were just for kids?

Guess not.

As much as I hate to say it, the working world has not been too bad these past two weeks. A two day work week last week and then a mid-week break today. I honestly can't complain.

Other than the boredom that started to set in last week towards the end of day two of not seeing anyone, I have been completely happy to stay in bed and lounge around my apartment. I have been pretty productive as well, cleaning the place and organizing my closet. I have a little more to do to finish my list, but hey it's not as long as when I started out.

Well time to be productive for the day...meaning I am going to get out of bed and do something, like play with Thumper.

Fashion Crisis

Last night while putting my laundry away, I was faced with the reality that my I am facing a crisis with my closet and clothing. It's not that I don't have cute clothes and ample space to store them, but more the fact that I don't like spending time in the morning picking out my clothes. And not to mention that it is 20 degrees outside and I want nothing more than to put some comfy sweats and curl up in bed with a good book.

I am doing a wardrobe workover very soon and reorganizing not only my closet but my dresser and the drawers under my bed. I am also going to face the fact that I have a ton of comfy clothes and I am going to get rid of some. This is a huge undertaking and if any one wants to help, you are more than welcome to. I will also be putting together outfits and taking pictures so that I can pull one out and throw it on in the morning with out spending too much time standing in my closet debating.

My Loving Dog Reynaldo

It is a sad time in the Glass household as we lost a family member this week. Our precious Bernese Mountain Dog passed away suddenly Monday night.

We spent the Christmas holiday in Prescott, Arizona with my brother. Reynaldo had been a little sick and the vet said that it was a Urinary Tract Infection. He was put on antibiotics and told that he was all good to travel. After spending two days in the car with my parents he was feeling a little worse and so we took him to a vet on Christmas Eve. After a couple shots of antibiotics and anit-nausea medicine and given some fluids. He was doing well and we thought nothing of it.

The day after Christmas he suddenly went downhill and had a hard time breathing. After realizing that he couldn't move we loaded him up in the car and took him to another emergency vet clinic. It was heart breaking to see him so sick and to not know what was causing him to be sick. After x-rays, and and ultrasound he was kept overnight for observation and so he could get more fluids. Monday morning my parents picked him up and the vet said he was ok to go back to Dallas as long as he was taken to another emergency vet as soon as they got to town.

About halfway through the day he started to go downhill again and my parents did everything they could for him. At about 9:30 my mom crawled into the back of the car and sat with him until he passed away at 11:45 pm.

WIth everything in life they come and go, but no matter what it is hard to lose a member of your family. I know that as time goes on my heart will heal, but there will never be a dog like him. One who liked to be alone, but at the same time always came to you at the moment you needed someone.

I love you re-re and I always will.

Christmas is Here! Christmas is here!

Christmas is here!!!!

I finished work today and 4:45pm and headed home to pack and get ready to go to Arizona tomorrow. I am so excited to spend an rather unusual Christmas with my family. Mom and Dad started driving to Prescott, Arizona this morning and Caroline and I are flying tomorrow afternoon. We will have the dogs with us and JP is waiting our arrival.

I am so excited I can hardly stand it. We are going to hiking and exploring and I cant wait.

....More to come.....

So I know it has been a long time since I last wrote but a lot has happened.

I got into another teaching program and am almost finished with the course work and I can begin my student teaching. I have no clue where I am going to teach but I have started submitting my resume, so if you have any contacts please let me know.

I got to see Oklahoma State University's Homecoming celebration for the 6th year in a row. I am pretty excited about the roll I am on with my attendance and plan to continue going. So all those who love going back to Stilly let's set up a trip for Homecoming 2011.

I attended Bryan's 5-year class reunion and got to see a lot of people I haven't seen in awhile. I also got to experience Arka-la-la for the first time. It was a blast and I can't believe that I have been out of high school for 5 years.

For Thanksgiving I traveled to Oklahoma City to spend the weekend with Bryan and his family. I had a great time seeing everyone and got to play dress up with Paige, Piper and the guys. Our visit was short but sweet and I had a great time getting to play with Caden. The only down side was that Justin was not there as he was working in Branson. I also got to experience my first black Friday trip to the mall. It wasn't as bad as I had imagined. After our shopping trip we left OKC and went back to Dallas. We had a watch party for the OSU-OU Bedlam game.

I turned 24 and got to visit my brother in Prescott, Arizona. Other than that not much has happened. I am now waiting for Thursday to arrive so I can go back to Arizona to spend Christmas with my brother and family. I am pretty excited to go hiking with the whole family, including the dogs! I promise there will be pictures to follow the trip.
