By "here" I assume you mean crazy-town. Possibly this is a generational thing (ie. sometimes names suddenly appear and become popular, I think this was discussed in Freakonomics) but I've lived in many places and have never encountered someone named Sierra.
Naming your kid Sierra would be like naming them Adirondack, or possibly Pepsi.

Or D'Brickashaw!
Wait no that's in a league of its own.

I mean, I didn't name her and she didn't ask for that name
Inlander:
Hey, I'm not criticising the girl. But I'm getting the feeling that American parents collectively need to have a long hard look at themselves.

hahah Ten pounds is just my short term goal. Ideally, I'd like to lose a lot more. But yeah! I'd totally be down for being e-workout buddies!
Also, guys, Sierra/Ciera are pretty common names. Hell, Cursive has a song about a girl named Sierra.
Dear Blog Thread,
This weekend has been both super stressful and super relaxing. Basically, boyfriend and I got into a huge fight about how I feel like he has a lot more involved in his ex-fiance than he should(I found out today that he has still been paying her phone bill since they broke up over a year ago). He later on he talked to her about their relationship, and she apparently got super pissed, sent me some crazy texts, then today started more shit and turned his phone off.
On top of that our dog has just lost his fucking mind. I have no clue what his deal it. We had him trained pretty well, he was "pottying" outside, not in his crate, he was learning sit, and lay down, and be still, and don't jump and he was just in general showing some degree of intelligence. And then within this past week he has been going in his crate. As in my boyfriend will take him outside, he'll go outside, then we put him in his crate so we could go out, and he goes in there! This was maybe 5 minutes after he went outside. Then today, as my boyfriend was leaving, he bolted out the door(the dog, not the boyfriend), and after my boyfriend caught him and bought him inside, the dog just laid on the floor, and peed. As in, he laid down, and peed, on himself. WTF is wrong with this dog? We don't abuse him, we buy him really nice food, he has more toys than most kids. This dog has a good life. He is incredibly co-dependent lately too. I cannot go to the bathroom with out him attempting to lay under my legs. I just don't even know what to do anymore. I can't walk to a different room without him being within inches of me, he is peeing everywhere. We are seriously considering taking him back.
On the nice side of life, yesterday we went to Soulard, and then spent a night out hanging out on Grand. Which means nothing to most of you, but I'll explain. Soulard is where our farmer's market is, and (south)Grand is a nice ethnic dinning/shopping area, and it's also about four blocks from our house! So that was awesome. We had Afghan food, and it was tasty as hell. Incredibly delicious.
Then we went to this old hookah bar that we used to basically live at, only to find out that they've been bought out! It used to be owned by this incredibly awesome old middle eastern guy, and was populated by mostly middle eastern gentlemen, and a few spare college kids, maybe some of the folks from the goth club. They played middle eastern music, and would have belly dancers, and had homemade hummus that was the best ever in St. Louis, and it was just perfect and great. And now its been bought out by two hipster kids, who cannot be old enough to buy liquor let alone get the license. They have spray painted, hugely, on the main wall "We Smoke Fuck Off"(last I checked, no one was persecuting hookah smokers. If a smoking ban goes into effect, most states usually have it so if you make a certain amount of sales from tobacco, you can smoke in the store), the store has been painted all these bright colors, its so freaking bright in there now(as opposed to the nice calming darkness it used to be), and they were blasting rap, and animal collective, and weird pop music, and Bloc Party, and wtf this is not what I want to hear when I smoke hookah! And it was completely filled with all these college kids who I swear were not even old enough to smoke and most of the servers are gone and replaced with inattentive college kids. And everyone is just there to get photos for the myspace and facebooks. :(
Luckily, the place next door also renovated, and not only is a middle eastern bakery, but a hookah bar and restaurant as well! So maybe we will go there until the kids go home for the summer, and attempt our old place again. Also, they kept the name Petra! I bet those kids don't even know what it mean!
But I did have fun sitting at the bar, with my boyfriend, smoking hookah, and giggling at the fact that we were the oldest people there.
