Wish List

Here is my animal wish list. I am putting in an advance order to Santa Clause.

(Otis, if you are reading this- I love you buddy. I would never want to replace you or hurt your feelings. You might get a long with some of these better than others. I am sure Santa will take that into consideration.)

If you are wondering who Otis is -Scroll down and see his picture on the right. He's awesome.

First up we have a Morkie. A Maltese and Yorkie mix. Look how sweet that face is. But this little pup might not be able to hang with a German Shepard.

(Cue Michael Jackson's "Wanna be starting somethin")

Next is a beautiful Persian Cat. Something I have longed for since I was a child. This would be a high maintenance commitment! But if I got cold in the winter I could use him as an extra blanket. Also concerned that hairballs would be the death of us all.

Ah the Mini Horse. I have been asking for one since Easter. Michael and I were on the way to my grandparents and we drove past the cutest little one. I was obsessed immediately and started picking out names. This little horse would be perfect as a companion for Otis- Same size same color. I can just see them frolicking in the back yard.

If this little piggy doesn't warm

your heart I don't think anything could. I mean just look at this guy- He has on RAIN BOOTS. He could play in the mud all day and then slip his boots off when he came in. Not really seeing an issue with this one minus the "after they go to the bathroom" smell.

A Ducky- Come on! How hard would this be to take care of? He could hang out in the sink or bath tub all day and would be a hit at the lake. Speaking of the lake I try to catch one every

weekend but our friends make too much noise and scare them off. Can't you just see this duck riding around on Otis' back- Quack Quack!

And finally- Mr. Hippo. I couldn't even get the words out of my mouth before Michael nixed this idea. He said "Britt, did you know that Hippos kill more people than alligators do each year?!" In which I replied- " I guess that's why they named that game Hungry Hungry Hippos". I think space might be an issue here.

Overall - I think I shall be faithful to Otis. I love him- couldn't ask for a better dog BUT if one of these animals came wondering into the house I wouldn't turn them away :o)

TGIT

It's Thursday!!!

Which means I can't wait to go here....

Watch this ....

and THIS....

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!!

This weekend I went to my best friend's Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Party in Louisville. We all had such a great time and I got to see so many of my long lost sorority sisters. I can't wait until September when I get to stand by her side as she marries the man of her dreams! Congrats Cayci and Mike!!

(Terra- I totally borrowed your picture)

New Lilly

I picked up 2 new lilly dresses last weekend at the Keeneland Shop Sale.

(I didn't even hide them when I brought them into the house.)

My best friend is getting married Labor Day weekend and I think my new threads will come in handy for all the wedding festivities :o)

Twitter

I can't believe how bad people freaked out about Twitter being down today!

A report from CNN stated that-

"Thursday's incident highlights the degree to which people depend on online social networks to feel connected to the world.

Some Twitter and Facebook users expressed near-panic that the sites were not working properly."

Really? It's okay. It's only 140 Characters. Go back to work.

Perfect 10

I was tagged by The Company She Keeps to tell you 10 "Unknown" things about me- Here Goes Nothing...

1. I like to tie a ribbon on the handle of my scissors. Not that I think anyone will come into my office and borrow them and not return them but I think scissors are more friendly with a pink bow tied to them.

2. I've been having a lot of nightmares lately and waking up at 3am. I remember most of my dreams and spend half of the next morning trying to decipher them.

3. I still live on a college budget. Even though I have graduated and have a great job- I still don't like spending money. I get upset when I leave Kroger with $80.00 of groceries in my cart. I act like I won't have any money for the rest of the month. I guess it is a good thing to hoard your money ( right dad?)

4. I am scared of the dark.

5. We have a ghost in the house. Doors shut, radios change stations, strange noises are common. This does not make #4 any easier to deal with.

6. I am the happiest I have ever been in my life. I do miss Mom and Dad and will somehow convince them to move to Lexington so I can see them everyday.

7. I wish I could make desserts every night. But if I did- we would eat them every night.

8. I am excited for what is to come in my life but have also learned to enjoy each day. One day I will look back at this moment and wish I could relive it- so each day is appreciated for what it is- Good, Bad or Ugly.

9. I am so happy that I have found such an awesome guy to share all my failures and successes with. Couldn't ask for any better.

10. One day I am going to change some one's life for the better. A great random act of kindness- I don't know when or how but I will do it.

Hanky Panky

All my rowdy friends came over last night....

Hank Williams Jr. and Britt
