Bubbles

I looove bubbles!
Bubbles for blowing and watching as they dance away from you in the breeze, bubble baths with jets so they build up and make fun shapes, mountains and mermaid tails, bubbles fizzing in my soda that tickle my face if I take a drink too fast, bubbles bubbles bubbles!!!
That was my bubble bath!!!
It was AMAZING!

 ALSO here are the pictures I promised!

Part of their back yard!

Ooops Music Tuesday

Sooo, I know I missed last tuesday but I was busy being completely out of contact with real technology, and very little time with access to my own laptop with internet and so therefore I am once again posting multiple music videos.

So Eisley's Telescope Eyes is pretty magical, I love the way she sings and the video is pretty good personally.

Dog sitter?

So. Tuesday was the first day of dog sitting, and I have to say, it has not gone amazingly. Cal is a beautiful older dog but he has some really terrible habits, these people live in Lincoln, it takes me half an hour to get to their house from mine and apparently its a little over 16.5 miles away, and they left me $100 for 6 days. Cal needs to be fed at 5-6am and again at 5-6pm, if you aren't up for his morning feeding he wakes you up, and in the afternoon so far if I don't feed him before he reminds me he gets really aggressive up in my face and barks a lot with this wild look in his eyes which scares me because I don't know him. AND he gets into EVERYTHING, I left a brand new loaf of bread on the counter where I thought he wouldn't be able to reach, the next thing I knew he had ripped through the bag and half of it was gone. As for the food they left, they have an abundance of condiments and for drinking mixers and huge bottles of alcohol of all sorts, and thats it. So not only is the $100 measly for how long I'll be here and the gas I'll have to use, but I also had to go buy food, this job is costing me, not paying me, suffice it to say I am not coming back again unless we can work out a pay scale, because I'd never thought I needed one, I only ever sat Judy's rabbit and she lived pretty close to me while leaving all the food I could need and enough money to do almost anything I felt like and she was no where near as well off as these people.

I will be posting pictures later when I get home as this computer of their's is ridiculously outdated...

Grr, Purrr

Yeaaaah. I'm not so sure I want to meet this guy I've been talking to anymore, met him on this random ass site and he's 26 with a daughter, he's all super smarty pants attitude and cool for him if he really is as smart as he likes to sound, but I don't need a guy who makes me feel stupid and criticizes me when he's stood me up twice now but oh my, I bailed on him last time we tried to meet because my best friend's boyfriend dumped her and she spent that night crying all over her sister and I.

MOVING ON. So as I am pulling my bedroom together I'm finding a lot of things which I need to get rid of and am going to be taking to Good Will, and a lot of things I had forgotten I had and am finding I love. I also think I'm going to try getting bangs... I've been heavily debating them with myself, because I'm not sure I can pull them off, but its summer and there really is only one true way to find out I suppose. But anyways, here are a couple pictures of things in my room that I love^^

Mary and her little paper lamb^^

And my cute Mother Goose^^

Artichoke Hearts!

Sooo my mama made artichokes baked and stuffed with minced garlic and butter, they were amazing!!!






And!!! i made lemonade, yummmmy, and used my adorable tea cup find from Anthropologie, originally meant to be a gift, I ended up buying my other mummy a birdhouse and massive tinker bell more to her taste^^

Second Musical Tuesday!!!!!

SO for our second musical tuesday I have chosen Never Shout Never's What is Love^^
It's a cute little video and a great song, and I love him so much I'm going to add the first song I ever heard of his, even though I couldn't find a video for it.^^

RIP Neptune

My poor Neptune, I only had him almost two weeks, Juno is fine, but I found Neptune dead inside the very tower you see behind him, as I fished him out his poor little fins were coming to pieces in the water and on the net... 

The Rabbit Sitter No More...

So... Over Christmas the rabbit Blackjack whom I used to house/bunny sit for my grandma's neighbor died of cancer... He was a magical little weirdo, and so, in his memory I would like to acquire a rabbit charm for a necklace, but I don't know where to find a relatively affordable one, especially since Katie wants one too, I miss him, and I miss feeling like I'm the authority of the house. I miss the freedom, the cooking, and I miss feeding him his strawberry jelly beans most of all. These are the options I have found so far. Tomorrow is an adventure to yet another bead shop and I'm sincerely hoping this one actually has a bunny.

Dreams

So lately I've been having dreams on and off in which my ex Brandon, is actually positive to me, like he's a friend, which is weird since I dumped him for cheating on me and I really felt like I loved him, I gave him "Everything", and the last time I saw him I was going to work and he was going to see his new lady back in January.
However, last night not only was he in my dream like a friend, but Andrew tried to be all friendly with me like nothing had ever happened, like he hadn't just up and dumped me out of nowhere and stopped talking to me altogether, and then when I realized he was acting that way and questioned him he went back to pretending I don't exist. I don't know what to think about this...

So.
I've been gaining weight like crazy the last few months that I've been living with my friends' family and just going to classes. They're wonderful people but my other mother Sheri, and Jen's boyfriend Josh, are both junk food addicts and so whenever Josh felt the need to go get Adalbertos or Jack in the Box etc he's been bringing me things too. Whether I asked for it or not. Which was sweet but has contributed heavily to my new waist line. What was once a 9 or 11 in jeans is now a 13 or 15 depending on brands.
There fore:
Rachael= Not happy.
SO.
I've signed up for an aerobics class over summer and I'm really thinking I'd like to learn to belly dance, which is something I haven't done since I was a very small child back when the belly dancing group at the Renaissance Faire used to watch me for my parents. Thats like... 15 years ago-ish?
So either I find someone teaching a class or I teach myself.
If anyone happens to read this and knows of anyone teaching belly dancing classes in the Sacramento area of California, I would love the information. Sooo here is a video I found while failing at finding a video to teach me for free, I think that she shows much skill from what I know.

I'm going to post music videos I like every Tuesday, well known or not^^

So today I've chosen Kate Nash, Foundations, I love her music, and her style, she's just fuckin amazing^^
