You want a piece of me?

I thought I had given up all hope of liking anything about Britney Spears but I was wrong! I don't know if I would classify it as "good" but I love her new song "You want a piece of me". It's nothing as fast or catchy as her old hits and the continous medium slow tempo throughout the song conjours up images of her mtv disaster, I cannot stop listening to it as I get up in the morning. Love her or hate her, she's right when she says " 'Miss "American Dream' Since I was 17". Since the Israeli is gone my teenage love for pop music has apparently resurfaced. With the Spice Girls back together, how could I not though? Love me some Spice girls. Or are they Spice Mama's now?

Speaking of mama's, my babygirl Bella is being wild today. I just bought her $75 worth of toys to keep her busy while I work and the Isralei is gone. That's right, when it comes to my pet I am a bit obnoxious. She is a spoiled baby but she walks, I don't carry her and she only wears clothes when it's cold and she is going outside. She has only 1 dress which I swear she loves!

I found Bella though Petfinder which is an amazing website. It is a place where you can find the pet you want, whether it be a dog, cat, horse, rabbit, etc and be saving an animal at the same time. The website is not for breeders and instead lets shelters and rescues lists the animals that need to be rescued.

I knew I was looking for small chihuahua but I didn't want a puppy mill dog so when I found Petfinder I was thrilled. I looked everyday for about a month and the day before Thanksgiving last year I saw this little blurry furball of a dog, 6 hours away from me. I quickly called the rescue and made an appointment to see her for that Satuday. Taking the Israeli's sister, Boots, we drove though cornfields to get her. The second I held Bella, that was it. I paid for her and proceeded to drive another 6 hours straight home. Mind you, Boots doesn't know how to drive, the cell phone died and we had no charger, and got lost in the backwoods to drive down a gravel and dirt road through a forest preserve to find this shelter. Getting back was a little faster but it was still crazy. Bella used to be able to come to my old job with me. She would sit on my desk, run around the office and was everybody's baby. Thank god for all the socialization because I definitely did not want a chihuahua that was biting people from my arms. Anyone who is looking for a pet should definitely try it.

Today was a hard day for me because, while at work it hit me the Israeli was gone. He has a phone number there and is with his family and he sounds so amazing and cute and happy on the phone, that when I talked to him the second time today I basically broke down. In my cubicle. With at least 5 immediate people able to see and hear me. I had to hang up quickly with him letting him think it was work because I don't need him to worry about me while he's over there. Because that's the kind of person he is. He always worries about me and wants to make sure I'm okay and right now it's 'him' time. Besides it's only been a few days, I give myself a week or 2 more and then he can worry and comfort me but I'll probably be doing that for him.

So after I started to tear up I went into the stairwell, called my good friend Flower and made plans to come over tonight to see her and he husband and kids. Her husband was my old boss and we're all very close.I am actually forgoing watching ANTM to go over and instead will watch it tonight on the dvr. I like to watch some thing after they've been recorded so I can fast forward though the commercials and suspenseful parts and get to see who wins. I am hoping for Chantal and not Saleish/Tooty or Jenah bigteeth.
