we went to the US of A. *image heavy*

my good friend ling ling and I went to the U.S yesterday.. her and i go down fairly often, we usually spend the night in the econo lodge in bellingham and fill out a survey to get free coupons.. not this time. every single store you go into they offer you a credit card.. you say no, and they bug you about it. how is it even legal to have so many opportunities to borrow money there? no wonder they are in so much debt! I've also noticed seeing as we go down a few times a month, the prices have come up quite a bit in the states. my shampoo is $4 cheaper in canada. WHAT? something CHEAPER in CANADA? shit..

we went down to find some things for the new place, it was somewhat of a success. i mainly spent a ton of money on nothing though, like usual.




this is me, in the nasty buffet were the the food makes you sick, trying my best at a lazy eye.




cupcakes and another deserts!



ling, eating a pile of shit:



we really didn't know what it was, it just looked like a pile of shit with marshmellows in it.. so i dared her to take some.. and try it:





final result, she's not sure:



i found these hello kitty headphones.. and apparently those silver owls in my cart:



perfect fit:



what dollar stores sells pregnancy tests or disposable douches.. or BOTH??



last but not least, hello canada. so happy to be home:

beefy, the sinking fish.

last year when beef dog was a pup, he could swim.. like a fish. this year, now that he's full grown, he sinks.. like a rock. we took him to the river yesterday and he bolted for the water, most dogs can swim, whatever right? Not the beef dog, not most bulldogs actually.. anyways he swam out fine, it was when he was trying to turn around and come back that he started going under. Instantly my mind switches to "mom mode", mid air into the water john grabs and says "leave him for one second, if you panic he'll panic" (never again will i be able to listen to that, but he was right). I left him for literally one second and the current took him the foot or two he needed to be able to touch. We packed beefy up that second ( not letting him know how upset we were, we didn't want to ruin swimming for him forever ). We went right up to bosleys and got him a new life jacket.





I'm fairly certain that he knows this is what keeps him afloat, he's really happy in it and prances around like he's the shit ( because he is ). when we took him up the lake he was cautious for about 30 seconds after the events of yesterday. he waited into the water and started to swim, came out and john through a stick.. let's just say, beefy LOVES to swim.



he's swimming after NOTHING here, just went out to swim:



he's even diving down for sticks now, i'm so impressed with him. you could tell yesterday really freaked him out too! we're so happy beefy was able to get over it and now LOVES to be in the water.

blue skies & better days!
