SUNday FUNday!
Here are a few pictures of my shih-tzu, Ireland. She loves to visit her Aunt Natalie's (my sister) house and lounge by the pool! She is a 1 1/2 and full of energy. Since the deck is closed-in, it's nice to let her run around without a leash. I'm an over-proctective Mom and worry so much! :)

Summer Sun. Pittsburgh's Evening Skyline.
Last night, I snapped a few of these pictures on my BlackBerry (7:30 pm, 6/11/11). The sun looked bigger than ever and shined so brightly. I thought it was a beautiful glimpse of the city. These were taken from the Inglot Parking garage in the South Side Works.
Luxe Living: Thailand
Last night I went to the movies to see The Hangover Part II. The film is set in Thailand and included some breathtaking shots of Bangkok (Lebua Hotel State Tower) and Phulay Bay Ritz-Carlton resort in Krabi. While some of the locations of the movie made me never want to visit this part of the world, others were stunning. Here are some highlights from the more inviting scenery:
