Super Pet Adoption....

The doorbell rings...I jump out of bed wondering what time it could be and head to the door. It's my boyfriend, Matt. He's ready for the day ahead, staring at me probably thinking to himself, what is she still doing in bed at almost 11am? But I was still tired and wanted to jump back in bed. Matt however, had different plans for the day. "Remember", he asked, "You wanted to go see the pets today." He was right, I did ask him earlier in the week to go the pet adoption with me. Even though I don't have an apt. big enough for a dog now, as stated in a previous blog, I am on the lookout for one. While I recently decided I wanted an American Eskie, after going to this pet adoption and seeing all the different breeds of abandoned cats and dogs I've decided it doesn't matter the type. I would have taken any dog that day, had I been able to have a place for it. It brought tears to my eyes to see how many animals were there. There were so many beautiful cats and dogs without homes and without proper care. While it was a good experience, I don't think I'll go back until I can actually take one home with me. I would also urge all of you to look at the shelters when getting a pet.

Something To Look Forward To....

So, my friends Charlee, Brandi and I have all decided we are going to participate in a witch festival this year. It'll be a witches night out at Gardner Village. October at Gardner Village is a huge deal and it's packed with excitement. Throughout the month there will be witch displays, carriage rides and dinner shows. The last weekend before Halloween, everyone dresses up in all sorts of witch costumes and participate in all the activities. Although I've never seen it, Charlee tells me there is a play that you can be a part of. There are nice witches, princess witches, evil witches, sexy witches...every type of witch imaginable at the village. So for now, I'm on the lookout for a great witch costume. I figure if I start looking now, I'll have a pretty good costume by next month. I'm extremely excited. Halloween is my absolute favorite. If any of you just happen to come across anything great-send me an email. Ya'll should check out the village as well. Wish me a happy hunting.

I've Been Thinking....

So, I've been thinking I'd like a dog. And I've decided on an American Eskimo. I knew from the start I wanted a type of sled dog. This one seems to be more of what I'm looking for than the others. They are beautiful. Of the reviews I've read they seem to be loving companion dogs and present strength and agility. Eskie's have a striking long, dense coat that needs to be regularly groomed. They do shed but can be maintained by consistent brushing. They seem to have a great temperament, are highly intelligent, trainable and independent. They do need stimulation and should be socialized as young as possible. They also make for great watchdogs-which would be great. They do, however, take longer to mature than most dogs. They act more like puppies for up to two years. I definitely foresee an Eskie in my home, in the near future.

Are You For Real?

I have a hateful reader. This was a comment left in my last post. Thought I'd share the hateful words with the rest of my readers- Obviously this person knows nothing about me. How discourteous of them to judge my life. What impolite things to say about me and my past marriage, taste of clothing, cars, and outgoing life. What harsh words.
To the reader who wrote this: I'm unimpressed by your distasteful scrutiny.

What is it about....

Rainy Days
I love rainy days. It's on those days I wish I didn't work inside all day. I wish I could at least sit by the window and listen to it-it's like music to me-odd I know, right? But it is! I love it. And I love thunderstorms. That's about the one and only thing nice about having a huge window right next to my bed-I get to see the lightning and hear the rolling thunder even better. I love curling up in a blanket and sipping on hot tea on those days. Rainy days are a magical thing.

The Family

At the request of some, I've decided to finally post a picture of my family. This is the latest photo of my wonderful family. It was taken at my little brothers wedding in June. I think Ethan is the cutest in those sunglasses. He stood in line during the ceremony and kept squinting...finally grandma got up and put her sunglasses on him-they were later switched out for his own. So, for those of you who don't know. We've got my older brother Scott, his wife Megan and their son Ethan. Next in line is my darling little sister Chloe, Mom, my little brother Garrett and his new wife-although not new to the family- Breanne. Next is my Daddy and then me. What a cute family.

Too Many Decisions....

So, I'm in dire need of new shoes. Okay, so I'm not in dire need per say...but I am really yearning for some new shoes. I've looked in the stores, and can't find what I'm looking for. So, I resorted to online shopping. I write it like it's a bad thing-to resort to online shopping-but it is actually pretty fantastic.
Here's what my list has downsized to.

I love these. I've been searching for purple-and I like the half boot look-especially with a good skirt, which I wear a lot of at work.

I have also been on the lookout for grey. And I'm not really set on what type of shoe-just know I need grey-so here's another top pick-

I think I will certainly opt for these.

Two others I think I will get-just because I wear black so often-and wear them out so quickly....



What do ya'll think of my picks?
