It was the same old same old.  I got up, ate breakfast, brushed my teeth, washed my face and threw on this:http://www.polyvore.com/untitled/set?id=111763875 "  some background on me is that I am 22, I moved to Chicago when I was 21.  I left everything I had back in Michigan to come here.  I don't have any friends.  The only poeple I really talk to are people at my work.  I don;t have a boyfriend and I plan to keep it that way.  Another thing about me is that I love hockey, but i don;t watch it on t.v. so I don;t know who plays for the Chiacgo blackhawks.

As soon as i stepped outside to go to work i felt the cold air hit my face making my cheeks sting.  Welcome to winter in Chicago.  I was just passing the water tower, almost to the doctor's office where I am a receptionist at.  I was almost there when I suddenly ran into someone.  I almsot fell but I caught myself.  i looked up at the person I ran into.  

"I am so sorry" I said looking up to see the person I ran into.  I looked right at him.  I looked right into his eyes and instantly felt my heart start to beat faster.  His eyes were breathtaking.  There were big and brown.  I instantly looked down not wanting to stare at him any loonger and walked away before he could say anything.  

I fianlly arrived at work and got right down to it.  I took probably over 200 calls, writing down appointments, getting names and what was wrong.  This was a normal day for me.

"Hey Alyse, anything exciting happen today?" Anna asked.  She was the only person I was really close too.  She was one of the nurses and she talked to me the most.

"Not really.  Ran into the500th person today." I said, making us both laugh.  I run into people all the time because I usually look down when i walk and they just don;t see me half the time.

"You really got to look up."

"I try but it is weird for me." I said.  I was always really shy so I would always walk with my head down and it just became a habit that I was never able to break.  

"Whatever you say." she said before walking away.  I finsihed up a couple last things with people files,  I got so sidetracked that I didn't realize i was the only left until i looked up from my computer. I wiped down all the desks, vacumed a littee, put things away and turned off the lights before I started my walk home.  

It was really late at night when I was walking home and not alot of people were out because it was so cold.  I was walking right past the water tower when I felt something nudge my leg.  I stopped dead in my tracks and looked down afarid of what it was.  i looked down and saw it was dog.  I bent down and petted it.  It came closer and licked me on the hand.  I noticed that it had no collar or leash and that it looked really skinny and cold.  It was shaking.  I picked him up and unzipped my coat a little bit and put him in there to keep him warm.  His head stuck out and I zipped it up more so him and I could be more warm.  I just started to take back off down the street when I passed a resturant right where I found the dog.  I looked through the window and saw that the guy I ran into was looking at me.  i quickly turned my head to see who was with him and it was a table full of boys.  I started to pick up my pace.  As i was getting closer to my apartment I realized that I had nothing for the dog.  so I stopped at the closest walgreens and got it a collar, ;eash, toys, food and food bowl.  I checked out and made my way back to my apartment.  I walked in and instanlty locked the door behind me.  i took off my uggs, coat, gloves and hat and laid them on my couch.  I then put all the dof stuff where it belonged and grabbed the dog.  I took a shower and the dog took one with me.  After I got out I put on my Pj's:http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=111811864.  After I was comfortable  I went and grabbed the dog, well my dog now.  I held it up s our faces were face to face. 

"Well hello there handsome"  I said to it, it titleted its head and its eyes grew bigger.  I figured out it was a boy.  'I am going to name you bandit." As soon as I said Bandit it barked the cutest, littlest, bark and i took it as a yes.  It had black spots around his eyes and t seemed to be a shiz-u-maltese."Well it is time for bed buddy." I said holding him proper now and walking him to my room and setting him on my bed.  I got in and he instanlty came and snuggled right in next to me.  Before I could fall alseep, I kept seeing images of the guys eyes and I fell asleep to the image of his face and those eyes.
