My name is Ellen, I live in good 'ol central Pennsylvania with my 4 chihuahuas and large handbag collection. When I'm not working for the state government, I'm working on my blog or organizing incessantly!

| Me ready to run! |
Since November I began a new diet and exercise plan to lose inches and get in shape. I will be posting about my progress as I go along. I love running and I love Jillian Michael's workouts so that is usually what I will blog about when it comes to my work out plan.

| Me and my girls |
I am a Crazy Chihuahua Lady and I could talk about Chihuahuas and how awesome they (and dogs in general) are. I also love horses and horseback riding.
I started this blog because my whole life I have always been able to take a neutral standpoint on any topic to give my input. Because of this, everyone knew or had heard that I was a great person to come to for advice, so I often had girlfriends coming to me with relationship issues. I read a lot of books (educational ones AND fun ones! ) , watch a lot of movies, and have a lot of experience either with myself or others around me with all kinds of situations.
Everyone always said "Ellen, you should start an advice column!" So...one day I did..in the form of this blog! I like to give an outsiders view on the situation, without taking a certain someone's side, and because of this, I really hope readers find my advice valuable.
When I'm not on here, I'm usually:
- at work (BOO!)
- shopping
- cleaning and organizing random parts of my home
- working out to my Jillian Michaels DVDs or running
- posing for photographs taken by my handsome photographer <3
- hanging out with my other half aka my boyfriend

| My man, and my Chihuahua! |
My boyfriend is my best friend. No, literally, he was and still is. But if I can offer you one bit of advice it's to trust people when they say "Love is friendship caught on fire". We complete each other (and each other's sentences) and we make each other laugh so much that I pretty much get a great ab workout from that. Oh, and he helps do reviews on "guy things" so I really love him for that :) He's great at taking photos and he is great at fixing things and doing basically anything that I can't.
About my Chihuahuas!
Pixie
Grace
After I got Pixie back, I realized I should probably get another Chihuahua in case anything ever happend to Pixie again. Plus, dogs love company. So I picked out Grace in 2007 from a breeder. She is my little sidekick. She's uncomfortable sometimes around other people but she is always at my side. Anything I ask of her, she will do! She is a very obedient little girl and she graduated from Training Class in 2009! :)
Stella
Oh, Sweet Stella. Stella came to me from a personal friend and breeder in 2010. She has an amazing tempermant and is just the sweetest thing. I love bathing her because I get to blow dry her hair and give her "blow outs". She looks so poofy! LOL! Stella loves to be carried, held, and loved!
Rocky
Oh Rocky, my first boy ever. Rocky was born in 2004 but I didn't get him till 2012. He ran away from home and my mom found him. Of all breeds to find, a Chihuahua! I took him in, and once we found the owners, they notified us that they were elderly and Rocky was getting to be a lot for them. So I adopted him! He is so sweet and kind. Very obediant too!
