Mandy Moore

C'mon now, who wouldn't love her?

I've had a small obsession with Mandy Moore since my high school days when I was singing Candy into my hair brush. Jenny Fletcher and I adore her. Not just because she's gorgeous, but because she isn't one of those crazy Hollywood bitches. She has her head on tight and isn't incredibly skinny, or crazy. She's just awesome.

She recently came out with a new CD. "Amanda Leigh". I had listened to it on Myspace a long time ago and said that I wasn't going to buy it. Jenny came over on Sunday and yelled at me and told me that I had to buy it even if I didn't like because it was Mandy! When I ran to the store to buy Bryan's birthday card there it was, staring me in the face. So, I had to.

It's ok. It's different. I think that Mandy Moore is trying so hard to stay away from her "Candy Days", that it comes off kind of boring sometimes. It's very happy-70's-Beatles style. Like, almost Christmas-ee? Does that make sense? You can listen to most of it on her Myspace.

Brody

This is Brody. I'm fostering him until he finds a family. He's the biggest sweetheart. I love him. I wish I could keep him, but I don't think that I can. He sleeps a lot, but is one of the best puppies I've ever seen. He knows his name already, is already half way potty trained, can walk on a leash, listens when I tell him no, gets along with other dogs, and loves everyone. He's $225, let me know if you're interested. I'd love for someone I know to adopt him.

Graduation Invite

I made a graduation invite for Bryan's cousin.
They gave me a low-res picture which sucked.
But, an awesome idea. They just printed these bad boys out at CVS for $10!

Originally I used the red curtain, (he's in drama) but Bryan's mom suggested I change it to yellow/gold because Allendale's school colors are gold and purple.

I thought it was pretty good for an hour of work.

So Stoked for Memorial Day Weekend...

I GET MANDY THIS WEEKEND!!! =O!!!!

She's going to have such a great weekend! Pretty 'lil girl.

I made this logo for Belle. She didn't like it. She said she wanted something more simple. Originally she had asked for something fun... I thought it was way fun. Guess too much fun? lol


It kind of looks like something that would be on a Cereal box. Lol...

Mandy again...

It's so hard. I honestly miss her so much.
Yesterday we were watching the Wings game at my sisters apartment and her favorite teal ball was sitting on top of the microwave and I just started balling my eyes out. I'd like to say that I'm just being retarded, that she's just a dog. I can't. She was so much more to me. So many little memories, so many laughs and smiles she gave me. I think about her every time I see a dog or anything that has to do with dogs. I put my head down every time I open the pantry and see her food/bones/treats. Her leash is still hanging on the hook, toys and babies are in their basket, her bowl still has fresh water in it. I just want to grab her head and scratch behind her ears, rub her tummy, blow in her face so that I get a kiss, smell her, cuddle with my girl.

It was the wrong decision. She likes those things just as much as I do. Who's side of the bed did she sleep on every single night? Who wanted a lab? Who named her? Who decided that red was her color? Who cleans her ears? Cuts her nails? Who's parents/family are just as much in love with her as I? Who's parents watched her when we were out of town? I don't see your Dad making up a nick name like Manderin. I only bring these things up because you should know that you're not only hurting me, you're hurting my family. My sister cried for Mandy, as did my Mom.

I am willing to bet that if we were both standing in a field, Mandy would run to me. The difference is, I would never let that situation happen. I would never hurt her like that. I think she needs us both right now. You're the one that's hurting her. You know she's thinking it. "Where's my Momma? I haven't seen her in so long. What happened?"

Blah Day

Today is going by very very very very sa-low!
Bryan and I are supposed to walk around downtown when I get off of work. Miro is working, maybe coffee?
But after today, the week will be very busy.

Wednesday; Bry and I are looking at an apartment off campus after work. Then we're going to see JoeFlo @ Elbow.
Thursday; Elbow Room for MoFo Kareoke, DUH!
Friday; It's Bryan's friend Jack's birthday. I guess they're going to party in Novi. I'm a little nervous, but oh well. Jack calls Bryan every other weekend wanting to hang out and "meet his girlfriend" so it's about time.
Saturday and Sunday; BEERFEST! Woo, Frankenmuth here we come!

So for ElbowAndy's birthday, he has a big party every year. All of the posters are on the walls in the bar. So, I offered to design it this year. I'm still waiting for him to send me the rest of the contact info and a high resolution picture(s) of him so that I don't have to use one off Facebook.
Here it is so far... I'm thinking about putting his head on an old prom photo...Thoughts?

So Sweet!

Momma's girl...

I can't live without my Mandy... :'( I miss her so much.

I don't know what to do...

Repost from Rachel K

Awe Rachel! I wanna see these too!
hmyesok
I wish it didn't break my layout. :(

Little Mandy

Steven won't give Mandy back yet again.

We usually trade her every other week. Last time he had her, he did this as well. He kept her for a week and a half before he got into his car accident. I guess he felt guilty or something, because he called me on Monday and apologized and said that I could get her whenever I wanted.

But here we go again, it's my turn to get her, and he's holding her hostage. :'(

She is my dog too. I was the one who wanted a puppy. Mandy spent EVERY SINGLE DAY of her puppy-life with me. I would/still take her everywhere with me. When she's going to be left home for more than 6 hours, I get a freaking sitter!

My mom and dad love her, my sister loves her, my grandma, my aunt... She is a part of MY FAMILY!

It's really sad that it had to come to this. I understand that he is hurting right now, but don't make Mandy suffer. I understand that he is alone, but she is my dog too. I'm not trying to take her from him. I've never ONCE told him that he couldn't have her when he's asked for her. This is like the 5th+ time that he's done this to me.

He's only doing it to hurt me, to get a reaction/attention out of me. But I don't know how to deal with it? I want Mandy back...
