Sales for Tails

Greetings everyone. Looks like we're not quite out of Winter yet. Most of the week, we had colder temps which doesn't make walking Mia to school or the dog fun, but what can you do, its March and Wisconsin. Wednesday we got Moana so Mia immediately wanted to watch it. Such a good movie and I hope her friends like it for her Movie Night themed birthday party. Saturday morning, she had dance class followed by a women's clothing event at Jill's studio. Mia set up her Mia's Fashion Jewelry Boutique at the event selling hand-made necklaces and all her profits benefited the local animal shelter. Such a sweetheart. Always doing her part to help the animals. The event went alright and she made a little bit of money, however I think she'll sell a lot more this week. I've got several people wanting to buy pieces of her collection so it'll be a busy week trying to get all of that in order. She would get bored throughout the event because she wasn't as busy as she hoped.

We had kind of a chill rest of the night considering we were up pretty early Saturday and Friday night Jill and I were up late getting the pieces together so the girls pretty much crashed around 10pm. I stayed up and drew Mia's picture.

Sunday, we got some items for Mia's birthday party for the gift bags so we're in good shape in that department. They cleaned the rest of the day and went shopping for a friend of Mia's that's having a birthday party this coming weekend while I was at work.

The drive home last night wasn't that bad, but I got off the freeway when I saw an accident and took the long way home. I do have to say, its great having new tires that specialize in this kind of crap. Definitely made me feel better going routes that would normally give me trouble.

This week, nothing major going on. St Paddy's Day is Friday so Mia's got some cute outfit and accessories she wants to wear. Saturday, we're going to go see the new Beauty and the Beast.  Sunday, she has her friend Ryan's birthday party so that will be fun.  Today, I'm missing the Chelsea vs Man U FA Cup match. Should be a really good game considering Man U is going to be missing several star players and the last time we met, we destroyed them.

That's all for now. Drive safe and thanks for reading!

Whatever the Weather

Good evening everyone. I would have wrote this morning per the usual, but I had Mia home ill today. She woke up feeling dizzy and not feeling good, so she spent the day with me before I went to work.
The week wasn't too bad. Wednesday I finally got my oil changed. Still need to get some tires. Hopefully very soon before the next batch of crappy weather hits us. After Mia came home from school, we did some homework and waited for Jill to come home from work. After she got home, we ran to Mayfair and the girls explored some stores. We stumbled onto this very interesting store called BoxLunch. Lots of pop culture clothes, collectibles etc from all kinds of genres and subjects including Disney, Game of Thrones, Marvel and Gilmore Girls just to name a few. The profits help benefit the local food banks. Jill found a top and shirt for an early birthday present so we got that.

I did a picture for Mia's friend Cecilia during the week of Moana. Mia told me she really wanted a picture from me, so I spent the majority of my Wednesday evening working on this. I think Mia said she liked it. Saturday morning, I got up early to watch the Chelsea game. They played earlier in the week against Liverpool and drew 1-1 unfortunately. David Luiz had a sneaky goal that royally pissed off Liverpool fans, but in the end, we couldn't convert a PK for a game winning goal. Bad on Costa, but it happens. Anyways so I got up early to watch the Blues take on rivals Arsenal. I knew this would be a great game, but didn't think we'd win 3-1.  Alonso started it off early with a header and Hazard had one of the most beautiful runs all season to get the 2nd goal. Fabregas took advantage of a bad pass and chipped it over Cech. Great game. Arsenal didn't look like they wanted this match. Chelsea grabbed the game by the scruff and ran off with it. Speaking about Chelsea, former Blue Lampard retired from soccer/football and Ivanovic made it official to leave the club for Zenit St Petersburg. Two quality Blues players that we won't ever forget.

 After the game, Jill and I drove to her studio to do some manual labor moving some heavy duty walls while Grandpa Chicago took Mia to dance class. We spent a good 4 hours working on these to move to their new space. Super exhausted by the end of the day. After wards, we went to the pet expo with my Mom. Tons of beautiful dogs and cats. I really love the big malamutes and husky dogs. Mia likes the smaller ones. Later, we had dinner at Jill's parents house. Mia lost ANOTHER tooth totaling 3 teeth so far. She was pretty excited this little bugger finally fell out. Sunday, we didn't do that much. Mia did her homework and we met up with my in-laws for brunch before I went to work. Less Than Jake released a new EP this week and I've desperately been trying to buy it online on iTunes and for some stupid reason, iTunes isn't working at ALL to download it. UGHHHH!!!!!

This week, I think she's going to hang out with her friend Charlie after school on Wednesday. Should be fun. She really wants to bring her homework by and work together on it. Dance this weekend after the Chelsea match. Not sure what else is planned.
