Dogs and "Dogs"

While I was walking to the store, I saw this really adorable golden retriever being walked with it's owner. ^.^ All of a sudden, he was running toward me, pulling the poor woman who was walking him along with him (I hope her arm isn't injured!). It was so cute though, because as soon as he made it to me, he was wagging his tail and very affectionate. x3 He was so sweet! The owner then said that she was sorry for him bothering me and that he had never had run up randomly to a stranger like that before, but of course I wasn't bothered at all! In fact, it kind of made my day. It's impossible to not be happy after an encounter like that, or at least that's how I feel. xD

However, as I continued on my way, I encountered "dogs". I'm not talking about the nice, furry kind this time around, I'm talking about the ones that are actually... men. I don't hate guys or anything like that, but I hate the guys that try to act cool with their friends while they're inside their car and stick their heads out of their windows and shout things at innocent women that are walking down the street going about their own business. Seriously, what do those guys gain from yelling out "HOT!!!" or "WOOO!" at us women? Do they earn cool points for doing stuff like that? Do they think that they're giving us a compliment or something...? If so, then I think they need to change their methods because I certainly don't appreciate it or find it to be flattering. In fact, I find it to be quite the opposite. Frankly, I don't care if anyone thinks I'm hot or not (aside from my husband. His opinion is the only one that matters to me). I didn't step outside of my house for their approval of my appearance. -_-; Though, I guess that sort of thing is harmless at the very least. No real damage is being done. It's just annoying at the very worst.

I think the reason why it bothers me so much though is because I honestly don't really like drawing attention to myself in public, good or bad. Most of the time, I like to think that I'm invisible. I know I'm not, but that's what I like to think. Whenever I happen to get attention, I immediately start getting really shy and embarrassed because I feel like my cover has been blown, and I feel the urge to run away and hide. v_v;  I've been like that since middle school due to constant bullying. I handle it a lot better than I used to, though. I'm actually able to look people in the eyes now and say "thank you" when people give me a compliment. I used to flat out deny them. :P

I have no idea how I went from talking about dogs, to guys, to being bullied in middle school. I'm sorry for jumping from topic to topic! ^^; I am a bit random like this, so it's kind of a normal thing for me. haha!

Weekend Date~!

The weather out here this weekend was so gorgeous, and I've been enjoying every moment of it! It's usually so cold where we live, so warm days are somewhat of a rarity, and so I thought it would be the perfect for my husband and I to take a trip to the beach! Needless to say, so many other people had the same idea, and it took us awhile to find a parking spot, but in the end, it was all worth it!

Just look at that view! It was so pretty, I practically begged my husband to snap a picture of it just so I could post it here! Lols! I really enjoyed my time there. The whole time we were there, I was busy splashing around in the water (which was pretty cold, but I was able to adjust to the temperature quickly) and  running around having fun like a kid! It was a refreshing change of pace when most of the time I'm just at home cleaning and doing chores. Also, so many dogs ran up to me while I was there. xD It seems like no matter where I go, dogs just make a beeline for me. I really have no idea why, but I really love it! Every time it happens, it just makes me want pet dogs even more!

After the beach, we headed to Taco Bell for some Doritos Locos tacos (which are SO amazing!). We were starving, and it hit the spot just right. ^.^ Then after we finished our meal, I spotted a crepe place called the Monterey Crepe Company, which was right next to Taco Bell. It's funny, the whole time we've lived here and despite how many times we've been down that very street, I've never once noticed it before until then. We decided to take a look inside and it was kind of small, with not very many tables or people inside, but their menu was huge and had quite a selection of sweet and savory crepes(they also had muffins, cookies, sandwiches, coffee, and other beverages for sale). Given my huge sweet tooth, I of course chose something off the "sweet" menu.  I chose one called "Papa Johnny", which contained Nutella, bananas, coconut, and almonds and was topped off with whipped cream and confectioners sugar. I wasn't too sure how those ingredients would taste blended together at first, but once I had my first bite, I definitely did not regret my decision!

Doesn't it look delicious? Looking at it makes me want another one~! Too bad I have to be good until next weekend! Lols!

It really is a shame that the weekend is now coming to an end. It just seems like it passed by so quickly, but I suppose that's what happens when you're having fun with the one you love. :3
