Happiest 6th birthday to my baby boy! I celebrated him by getting him a bully stick and a new toy. One of the pet stores we go to give out a birthday coupon so his new toy was free. The last time he had a bully stick was over a year ago so he was a happy camper and even growled when Bruno and Kato came close to him.

For lunch I went to pick up Noah for a catch up with his college life. We went to Gyu Kaku and ordered way too much food. When I went to drop him off at his truck we ended up staying in my car for almost an hour singing and harmonizing. We’ve talked about making YouTube videos of us playing and singing but it hasn’t happened because life.

To celebrate National Taco day June and I went to get a couple of tacos from Taco Bell. Hmm, maybe I should use my crunchwrap recipe to make tacos next time. Who wants to join me?

I am stuffed. Good thing I’ll be walking off everything these next few days!

One of my friends reposted an article on Facebook, “Having Depression And Anxiety Means Having A Brain Constantly At War With Itself”. Click here for the article. It’s a quick read. The title grabbed my attention and it resonated a lot within me. I’ve never been to the doctor on this subject so I’ve never been diagnosed but it’s how I’ve felt my whole life. I have a few people like me in my life. They have loving significant others who are patient with them so it gives me hope that one day I’ll find my other half who’s the same. Or if I never find him, it’ll be okay, too.

Houston Restaurant Week (month) has started already and I’m already behind! But don’t fret! I already have three planned. I doubt I’ll have any more than that and I’m okay with it. After these meals, it’ll be tight spending before the Cousin’s Trip!

I walked through the door from my summer job and you came running up to me. I thought Brudda got you for my birthday but I was only destined to be your aunt. We gave you a bath that night and I took a million pictures of you, my first pup.

A couple of years later, Brudda and SIL got you a brother, Pluto. You guys played together all the time. There were months where you lived with me and Jenny in college and sometimes Pluto would join you.

Soon enough Mum and Dad got you an uncle, Rocky. You two didn’t always get along. The whole alpha thing got in the way but y’all will always tolerate one another and at rare occasions, play with one another which usually meant barking at one another.

Sissy, BIL and I gave you cousins, Kato, Bruno, and Rizzo, to play with. We literally became a dog house. It was loud and crazy at times but we all loved the memories attached to it.

We will all miss you. Thank you for all the memories you gave us. Thank you for opening the doors for our family to invite more pups in. Have fun in puppy heaven.

R.I.P. Krypto

My boss came to me to tell me she’s shifting me around once everyone gets back from vacation. One of my many roles will be transitioned to Christopher and I’ll be taking on part of Erin’s role. I’m not sure how it’ll go. I can only hope I do well. I am sad I won’t get to learn the parts I wanted to since it’ll go to Christopher now but I’m happy because I get to do more of what I love. One step closer to being a business analyst or something of the like. My boss even said I can become COE of Salesforce one day if that’s what I want. Oh, the possibilities.

Big Brother Big Sister (BBBS) came and spoke at work. This has always been a program I wanted to join but never had the time to. They have this new thing called Mentor 2.0 which means once a week, you touch base with them online, and then go to six events for the school year. Easy peasy! I’m excited to see who I match with and hope I’m good enough to help them through whatever.
