Juicy Princess
Oh how I love thy Juicy Couture!
Thanks to the bestie Alex, I have an obsession to all things Juicy! I stopped counting how many handbags or wallets I own, and lord knows how much I spent in jewelry!
Now I've calmed down on the mass amount of spending in say Nordstrom's or on the online shopping site, but there will always be a special place in my heart for the pink G&P!
Me, myself, & I were also born in the Glamous USA
Congrats Sheryl Crow!!

Gretna Green (noun): a place where many eloping couples are married
Example Sentence: "During the 1920s through the '40s, Greenwich had a world-reputation as the 'Gretna Green' of the nation, the magnet for couples in a hurry to get married." (Bernie Yudain, Connecticut Post Online, May 26, 2009)
Did you know?: In the England of the 1700s, a person could not marry without parental consent until age 21. The Scottish were more lenient, allowing young people to marry without parental permission at 16. England also had rules that made it difficult to marry quickly, but Scottish law required only that couples declare their desire to be married in front of witnesses before tying the knot. So it isn't surprising that many English couples ran to Gretna Green, a small village on the English-Scottish border, when they decided to elope. In Gretna Green, the wedding ceremony was typically performed by the blacksmith at a roadside tollhouse, but it was all perfectly legal.

Postponing the Pitcher...
Sooooo I'm actually going to start the water-binge sometime in July...
It's not that I broke the water-plan, but I'm going to have some memorable moments this coming weekend, and I would like to be able to enjoy something other than water... I guess you'd have to know me to understand. :)

Eliminate Cancer for Dogs and Children
Dear Friends,
My Mom’s good friend Donna lost her 5 year old Champion Irish Setter in December to gastric carcinoma. This was a very quick cancer and very difficult to watch for her and her family. This was a one in a billion cancer for such a young dog. Osteocarcinoma is the more common cancer for Irish Setters.
I would like it very much if in her Maverick’s memory you would all take the time to vote as often as possible on this website to help us raise more money to fight cancer. It doesn’t cost you anything but a few minutes and who knows, it may just benefit the dog you own some day.
Thank you so much,
<3 Shannon

Eliminate Cancer for Dogs and Children
Goals
•Support research to eliminate cancer in dogs and children
•Research osteosarcoma using a variety of approaches
Cancer is the number one disease killer of dogs and children. National dog breed clubs rank osteosarcoma in the top five health concerns. Osteosarcoma is a bone cancer that also occurs in children during bone growth. The Canine Health Foundation will use the $50,000 to support osteosarcoma research. First, we will fund a project to identify genetic changes shared in bone tumors and look for the potential risk of disease development. Second, we will fund a project to evaluate of efficiency of a potential drug in treating osteosarcoma.Dogs and people are similar genetically and are exposed to the same environmental factors. Research on cancer in dogs will directly benefit children with osteosarcoma.

Apotheosis (noun):
*1 : elevation to divine status : deification
2 : the perfect example : quintessence
Example Sentence: "Long before celebrity reached its apotheosis, the great gossip columnist and radio broadcaster Walter Winchell … understood that celebrity was a basis for an ongoing, daily national conversation…." (Neal Gabler, Newsweek, December 21, 2009)
Did you know?: Among the ancient Greeks, it was sometimes thought fitting -- or simply handy, say if you wanted a god somewhere in your bloodline -- to grant someone or other god status. So they created the word "apotheosis," meaning "making into a god." (The prefix "apo-" can mean simply "quite" or "completely," and "theos" is the Greek word for "god.") There's not a lot of Greek-style apotheosizing in the 21st century, but there is hero-worship. Our extended use of "apotheosis" as "elevation to divine status" is the equivalent of "placement on a very high pedestal." Even more common these days is to use "apotheosis" in reference to a perfect example or ultimate form. For example, one might describe a movie as "the apotheosis of the sci-fi movie genre."
*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.
