"Things Are Finally Looking Up for Old Lara Luksis"

First off, I FINALLY got offered a job! I will be working part-time at Pier 1 while taking two classes and it is such a relief to have finally gotten all that figured out. My new boss, Sonya, is really nice and chill and I'm excited to work at a store that has such cool stuff. AND 40% discount, so expect Christmas to be courtesy of Pier 1 Imports. Next week I'll start one of my classes and work so no more sitting at home for Lara!! I went back out to the school today and got registered for an online English class, British Literature, yay! It should be interesting to take an English class again, I didn't need to take one at A&M because I brought in enough AP hours from High School, but I always enjoyed English in High School.

I also have cleaned enough junk off my computer that I could load some new pictures so first off we have Mollie's birthday. I got her a super cute bone from the dog bakery and we let her open up her presents. She loves ripping up the paper :) And don't worry, I didn't let her eat the whole thing; she's been getting pieces every few nights. She hasn't completely destroyed any of her new toys yet so that's good. I cannot believe that she is one year-old now. It seems like just yesterday that I saw her online and made up my mind that I was getting a dog. She started off a little 2lb squirt with cute little ears flopped over and now she's almost 19lbs with the ears of a jack rabbit. We still have some behavior issues to work on, but overall I am so glad that I have this sweet little girl in my life.


ADULT CONTENT!!!!



And finally here's a snapshot of some of the cookies I made for Caitlin's Bachelorette Party in Austin. They were a huge hit and despite all the work involved in making them and decorating them and transporting them I'm really glad that I made them because Caitlin loved them. Also if you're ever in Austin, I highly recommend seeing the comedy show, Esther's Follies. It's on 6th Street and it's absolutely hilarious. I can't wait to go back and see what they come up with.
