 Cute puppy source

We just had our first real* snow fall, so I thought this cute pup was perfect. *For those who live in warmer climates: Snow that stays and doesn't melt immediately.


Awesome:
♦An interview with the amazing seamstress for American Horror Story
♦America's First Cat Cafe.  The best part is that they have adoptable shelter cats available!
♦I love AbFab!
♦Sparkling water is the best.
♦Amazing miniature library

Cuteness:

Quiz:
♦Modern art...or garbage? I didn't do very well on the quiz :P

WTF:
♦Starbucks new dress codes; Tattoos acceptable, Wedding Rings nope.
I can understand not allowing rings for sanitary reasons...although I don't really think of Starbucks as a food producing entity. I am guessing most of their food items come in pre-made, and frozen. I really doubt they have someone mixing up cookie dough in the back.

I work in manufacturing and wearing rings is dangerous. I wear mine on a necklace so I can have it with me.

**For the record I am a tattoo fan, IF they are tasteful. I have a bunch myself, but wouldn't want to buy food from someone who had derogatory or grotesque (faux skin rips, blood gore etc.) tattoos visible.

Have a great week, stay warm!
