I am thankful for... my boy. He bought me a brand new mini- laptop last night (pictures soon!) so that I could do my homework at home and stop stressing about my poo laptop that hasn't worked correctly in months. and he also did the dishes tonight. Love him
From the kitchen... I just threw together some dinner! Boneless, skinless chicken breasts- dredged in egg and breaded with smashed tortilla chips. After I cooked it in the oven, I topped it with guac and sour cream with spanish rice on the side mmmm
I am wearing... sweats... and socks for the first time in months! Cozy
I am creating... not so much creating, but definitely trying to organize myself for this semester-- have many new school supplies to help with that (folders, pencils, notebooks, markers-- love school supplies!) and can't wait to use them all!
I am going... to bed soon! 6:00 AM comes EARLY on Tues. /Thurs.
I am reading... Girl, Interrupted. Never saw the movie for some reason, but the book was on sale for $3 so I thought I would check it out. Pretty good so far.
I am hoping... to be able to lay out by the pool sometime this weekend! I need to soak up the sun for as long as I can before Fall rolls in... although I received a catalog today with pumpkins on the front and I have to admit I squeeled with delight!
I am hearing... the a/c rattling in our apt-- and the slight sound of basball coming from the living room-- if the rangers are playing, our tv is always tuned to that... ugh
Around the house... the pups have finally calmed down and i think J might be passed out as well...
One of my favorite things... is seeing someone do something nice for a complete stranger, without any obligation or hidden agenda. warms my heart
A few plans for the rest of the week... second day of school tomorrow-- shopping with J on Friday for some house stuff-- and finding a dress for the mitchell- jacobs wedding next weekend- very excited for that!

Oh supercalifragilisticexpialidocious...
MARY POPPINS the musical is coming to Dallas!!! I love love love musicals and am so excited to see this one! My Texas Mother and her family saw it on Broadway in New York City a few weeks ago and said that it was an amazing show! Tickets are fairly priced (and available at ticketmaster.com) and if you live in the Dallas area, you should totally check it out-- or better yet, come with me!

I will add this into my manila folder labeled "Things That Bother Me"
It really bothers me when I see someone riding a motorcycle without a helmet. They should be put on suicide watch.
(Idiot)
In other news... Sunny is a sick girl. We noticed a little cough on Wednesday and by Thursday night it had gotten so bad that she did nothing but sleep on the couch the entire night... she even let Rocky play with her squeaky chicken without attacking him. I took her to the vet Friday morning... the diagnosis was exactly what I thought: Kennal cough/ lower respiratory infection. She is now on 3 different meds. and let me tell you! Those are a joy to give... think wrapping a pinky nail sized pill in peaunut butter and shoving it down a 5lbs puppies throat. Does anyone have a better way to get a puppy to take a pill? I've tried sneaking it into her wet food but the hound in her smells it out everytime! I can't get anything past the girl!
(These two are quite the pair so far)
Happy weekend!

Welcome Sunny!
J and I adopted Miss Sunny girl into our family on Sunday, August 9, 2009! She was 2 months and 4 days old as of today and is as sweet as can be (aside from the fact that she managed to climb over her 3 foot baby gate today, while we were at work and tear apart a magazine, 2 pairs of undies and a few other misc. items).
Any who, we have been wanting to get Rocky a little sister friend for a few months now, and with me going back to school we figured it was just about the perfect time to do so. Since Sunny is a rescue, the vets on site really don’t know exactly what bread she is. Her chart said she was a pointer/ hound mix… but her paws are so little, I think she is Beagle and something else… her little floppy ears are the cutest.
Rocky is unsure of her right now… he’s not sure why she doesn’t know that pee’ing in the house is bad, or why she feels the need to bite at his beard constantly, or how come she whines in the middle of the night when he is trying to get his beauty rest?! Both of these pups have a lot of spunk and plenty of personality and I know that pretty soon they will be the funniest little best friends.
We can already tell she is going to keep us on our toes (or dead on our feet?) for the next couple of months while we work on potty training, obedience training and every other kind of training… either way, we are so glad to have her!
... pictures to come soon!

Brain Dump::
Here is a list of what is running through my head right now. I will call her brain dump.
The summer humidity in Texas sucks. I feel like I’m living in a terrarium. And for the record, I hate reptiles.
I have decided I need to begin a new hobby when I return to school in a couple of weeks. I know I won’t have a lot of time to lally-gag, but after perusing the isles of JoAnn’s last week with my sisters I’m feeling a teeny bit inspired. Here are the requirements:
Inexpensive, fun, involves slight creativity, needs little assistance from others or much prep and has a finished product I can be proud of. Any ideas?
Yes, I am back to school August 25th!!!! Only two more weeks of full-time paychecks is a scary thought…
J and I just adopted a little girl puppy for from Operation Kindness [link] in Carrolton, TX. It’s the oldest and largest no- kill shelter in North Texas and it sure seemed like a wonderful place for animals that don’t have families yet. I may even try and volunteer there in the near future… More on our new addition soon…
I’ve only slept 12 hours in the last 72 hours. Not my idea of a good time.
Have you guys been to allrecipes.com? I go there every time I want to cook almost anything now… I love to read all of the posted comments (where people can change up the original recipe a little bit), and have found some seriously awesome recipes. Thanks, Mom!
I have hundreds of pictures on my laptop that need to be printed and hung up (and transfered to a zip drive for that matter)… for some reason it keeps slipping lower on the To- Do list as my list keeps growing longer and longer...
I was listening to my usual talk radio this morning on my way to work when I heard one of the DJ’s going ON and ON about how EVERYONE loves the circus and how could anyone NOT like the circus- the animals are so cute and funny! and she is so excited to go and take her child! blah blah blah... She obviously has never read anything about animal cruelty or seen ANY articles about how Barnum & Bailey treats their animals and how they get them to do those “cute and funny” tricks. Some people just need to take there head out of the clouds (or pull it out of somewhere else). I vowed long ago never to support that nauseating form of entertainment. End rant.
Can anyone tell me how to post a link on here? Like, for instance, if I wanted to post a link to Google- I could attach the link to the word Google, so you could just click and browse? Please help. I'm new at this... and not completely computer savvy.
I found something special (that I have been looking for, for awhile now) and can’t wait to purchase it! Although I’m having a personal battle with which “state” I want to rep—maybe I’ll just buy both and wear whichever one I’m more into that day. California girl or Texas gal…
I STILL cannot think of a cute title for this blog. Help
