Puppies!

As some of you may know, my dog Daisy recently gave birth to 3 beautiful maltese puppies:

Puppy #1

aka Alexa (Lexi)

previously known as Alice

Birth weight: 7.5 oz

Puppy #2

Needs a name

Birth weight: 7 oz

Puppy #3

aka Max

Birth weight: 6.5 oz

I know what you're saying right now. "They look like rats" or "they're so ugly" but just wait until they open their beautiful little eyes, grow hair and become rambunctious. You won't be able to resist them. I promise. ;)

As of right now, Lexi is still the biggest of the 3. Max is still the smallest and has come to be the house favorite. Now, I know I'm not supposed to get attached as we are selling them when they become of age and it's bad news bears to choose favorites... but I can't resist little Max. The moment you pick him up, he just relaxes and lets you carry him around the house. He doesn't squirm or wiggle like the other 2 and, come on, he's completely precious.

Daisy is being such a good mom. At first I think she had too much mothers instinct. Anytime a baby would let out the littlest noise, she would freak out. She would run to them and start kissing them or try to nurse them. Which, I guess isn't a bad thing until she started undermining herself. For the first 2 days or so, the babies got little sleep because any time they would start to drift off, Daisy would come over and nudge/lick them until they woke up. Then they would cry. Then she would freak out and try to comfort them. It was kind of a cycle...

She's a lot better now, though. She has realized that not ever peep needs to be attended to. In fact, a few nights, she's let them peep and whine for minutes before she even bothers to go see what's wrong.

I imagine puppies have specific cries just like babies do. You know, one for hunger, one for attention, that sort of thing. I can't tell the difference but I figure Daisy must know them because sometimes she rushes over and other times she's just like "whatev."

I'm thinking of making a video with them soon. I just wanted to wait until they open their eyes and look a bit more attractive. Although, who is going to bash a puppy that fits in the palm of your hand.

On another note...

Yesterday, I got an email from YouTube and I guess my kickball video has been added to the Youtube Partnership Program. I'm waiting to hear back from them on partnering my entire account. I'm not going to lie, I'm really anxious. It'd be kind of a bummer if they only want my one video... but I guess if they don't want my whole account anything is better than nothing.

 So, if you have nothing better to do, check out my video?

Well, I have to go get ready for school. I'll try to be good about twitter, blogs and videos.

I just connected Blogger to my phone so aside from these massive posts, you might be in for a few little updates now and then.

P.S. Puppy #2 needs a name. She's a girl. Suggestions?

Day 4: There's a hole in my pocket...

When I have money, I shouldn't be allowed to go on Ebay.

Money burns a hole in my pocket.

This was too cute to pass up:

But I needed a holder for my brushes anyway. :P

Day 3: A day of adventures

What does Cierra look like today?

Well, I'm about to go shopping. Then I'm going to a barbeque and then I'm going to hang out with some friends and play some games. I'll blog all about it when I get home. I just thought I'd get a picture up to tide you over until my return. (:

- 10:25 am

First stop: Mac Cosmetics

So, I went in knowing I wanted to get a Red Velvet shadestick from Mac's Sugarsweet collection.. well.. they were all sold out of the shadestick so I ended up looking around and it resulted in me buying more than I thought.

Final inventory:

- Stars N' Rockets (eyeshadow)

- Passionate (eyeshadow)

- Chrome Yellow (eyeshadow)

- Politely Pink (lipstick)

- Magenta (lip liner)

- 15 tray pallet

Second stop: Louis Vuitton

So, before you say anything to the effect of "damn, this girl is spoiled" I didn't buy anything. I found one purse I was absolutely in love with. Unfortunately, it came with a $1,800 price tag which, I'm sad to say, is extremely out of my price range. I can't tell you how often I wish I could just walk into a store and buy whatever I wanted without having to concern myself about prices. That day will never come.

Final inventory:

None

Third stop: Starbucks

Not a lot to say about my trip to Starbucks other than I got my usual: a venti, 4 pump classic, strawberry passion tea.

I added a sausage breakfast sandwich to my order. It was delicious. <3

Final inventory:

- Venti passion tea

- Sausage breakfast sandwich

Fourth stop: My secret store

So, I walked in, walked around and ended up bring about 20 items into the dressing room with me. I ended up buying 5. Gosh, I feel bad for the people who had to put them back. :(

Final inventory:

- 2 pairs of skinny jeans

- 2 pairs of ballet slipper shoes

- 3 spaghetti strap tops

- 1 short sleeve top reading "It's ok, I forgot your name too."

(If I'm not too lazy later I'll stick up a picture)

Final stop: Mac cosmetics

So, I ended up going to a different mall 30 minutes away to get my silly shadestick. They were in stock.. so I bought 2.

When I was going to pay, I fell in love with a green eyeshadow. I couldn't control myself so I bought it as well and just told myself I'll work it off this weekend. :P

Final inventory:

- 2 Red Velvet (shadestick)

- Bitter (eyeshadow)

Well, it looks like I have a date in about 30 minutes so off I go! Sorry if this blog was boring. :(

Day 2: Ho hum...

What does Cierra look like today?

So, not a very exciting day today. So far,I've  just done a lot of boring stuff: wake up, eat a brownie, get ready, go to school, sit in the enrollment center at school for two hours trying to choose one class to take this fall, come home, check my grades, blog.

Once again, Pilates class whooped my butt. My lack of both balance and arm strength is really getting used against me. It also doesn't help that my hands and feet slide on the pilates mat every two seconds.

I signed up for all my summer and fall 2009 classes today. As for that one class, I ended up going for beginners piano. I have had some piano experience and the class is for "people with little or no piano experience." So, I expect it to be pretty easy.

When I was on my way home from school I saw a nasty accident. It took about five minutes to go half of a mile. Everyone just HAS to stop and stare. Anyway, there was 1 fire engine, 3 cop cars and an ambulance. Also, you know how usually in an accident one car looks trashed and the other has barely any damage? This was no exception. One car had it's front end completely ripped to shreds while the other had a crunched front end.. but at least it was there.

ANYWHO...

I'm excited to say that both the Biology test I took today and the Statistics test I turned in yesterday were both graded and posted. 

Statistics test: 88% (not bad for doing the whole thing the day it was due :P)

Biology test: 89.5%

Hm, what else could I possibly say on an uneventful day like today?

My mom decided to experiment in the kitchen and make a homemade spaghetti sauce which I'm sure will be delicious. It makes me want to do some cooking. I think I'll make homemade cheesecake this weekend. I just need to find a good recipe. Hm.. I think I am going to try to find the Cheesecake Factory's recipe online.

Speaking of this weekend, for once I'm getting an actual weekend. I don't have any homework to do or any tests to study for. There's nowhere I absolutely have to be. So, I guess it will be a weekend of hanging out with friends and shopping. That's always fun. Maybe I'll take a few pictures this weekend and post them in a blog. Who knows!

Playground Fun

Today, I felt something I haven't felt in a long time. It was a feeling of childhood, of freedom. It made me realize how much I miss the days of complete innocence. You know, when your biggest worry was being the most popular kid on the playground and you didn't have to worry about money and school was your job. Now, there's so many responsibilities to stress over.

Anyway, today I took an hour out of my time and visited a park near my house. I played in the sand, slid down slides, did cartwheels in the grass and swung on baby swings. It may sound immature but I haven't had fun like that in a long time. Sure, hanging out with friends, playing Wii and watching discovery channel is cool but this was a different kind of fun. It was the kind where you didn't care if you learned something and there's no win or lose. It's a feeling of letting go and not caring if people look at you funny or laugh when they watch you, an 18-year-old, acting like a four year old.

It's always fun when you get a little taste of something you once loved.

It's like putting on that old, worn-in pair of jeans in the back of your closet and realizing how well they fit. (:
