Blackie Nicole

Well I was gonna write about greys anatomy or my addiction to reality television or even my obsession with celebrities bc I could really go on for days about all of the above. But then my son walked in the room and I decided to talk about him. He is a psycotic white chiuhuahua and his name is Blackie Nicole. I love him with all my being. I was actually mad when my boyfriend bought him for me bc like most men hes late on everything...I told him I wanted a dog in like 2003 and here comes 2005 and he buys me a dog. I was pretty much over the idea by early 2004.

Neways Blackie is my life, he is so crazy and loud and he bites small children but I love him because he is loving, towards me...

I mean I wish he didn't bark at absoulutly nothing at 2 in the a.m. and I wish he would pee on his potty pad and not 1/2 on his potty pad 1/2 on the carpet, I wish he didnt poop in the middle of the living room just cause he felt like it and I wish that he didnt always want to have play time when I need to study. BUT other than that he comes to me when I cry, he has a way of always making me feel better, and he is like a little heater in the winter bc at night he will lay on my legs and I will instantly warm up.

You know what, everyone should get a Blackie Nicole.

The Queen of all media

My favorite blog is perezhilton.com.

This is where I get all my celebrity gossip/trash. Perez mainly focuses on recent celebrity news but sometimes if there is something all over that isnt celbrity related, ie: news on Saddam Hussein being sick. What I love is his commentary on celebrities, everything I'm thinking he says on his blog for the world to read. For instance he wished Jenifer Lopez would dtop hiding her pregnancy as do I. He also has a love/hate relationship for Britney and I do too. His most recent post about her said that she passed her drug test this weekend, how long do we think she will keep it up?? I wanna know the same thing....

I like the name Mercedes...

She was scared, a little nervous, but excited all at the same time. The home smelled of moth balls and Avon perfume. She walked slowly through the hall, hand in hand with her mom, all the way to the backyard. Here she saw it. Small, black and full of dirt. It was the runt of the group, soon to be known as Pepper Theresia. The black cocker spaniel puppy ran to her feet and rapidly licked her now dirt ridden keds.
All around puppies were yelping and she could hear her father in the distance discussing prices with the old lady. Shari’s sisters were talking amongst each other. The eldest, then 16, wanted to name the puppy Mercedes, the youngest, then 6, thought Barbie was a better fit. Shari thought Blackie was a good name but all of them were wrong because later on her mom chose the name Pepper.
She walked to where her dad was standing, in the grass near a big doghouse with chipped red paint. He gave her a hug but she quickly let go to play with the dog inside the chipped doghouse. Inside was the puppy’s mom, a white cocker spaniel. She kneeled in the uncut green and brown grass and started to play with the big white dog.
Her mom and her dad started to talk amongst themselves and they walked inside with the old lady. Shari walked back to runt and didn’t want to let go and for a minute she had to. The old lady walked up to her with tears falling down her eyes, grabbed the runt and said “good-bye Aliana, be a good puppy.” August 3, 1993 was the best day of Shari’s life, the day she got her first puppy.

Don't fly to New York, Dallas, Las Vegas, Hawaii or Chicago to dine at the
best restaurants. Instead, head to Wolfgang Puck's 25th annual American Wine
& Food Festival, Saturday at Universal Studios, to sample fare from some of
the country's top chefs.

Granted, it's not inexpensive, with a tab of $300 per person, but it's one
of the premier food and wine events, raises money for a good cause and is more
cost effective than winging it all over the country to get a taste of top,
fabulous restaurant fare.
Ever since, he has raised money to donate to Los Angeles chapters of the organization that serve thousands of meals each day to the city's homebound senior and disabled citizens. "In America, often older people are overlooked."
