Getting To Know...Me!

I got one of those getting to know you e-mails from my sister-in-law Kerstin today and I thought I'd post it in my blog this time instead of e-mailing it to a bunch of people who don't really care. This way those who are actually my friends and want to hear my ramblings can read it. That and I have nothing else to write about today. Lets say anyone who reads it must do it in their blog, there, that will keep it going...in theory. Enjoy getting to know me! Also, comment in my blog if you're writing it in yours so I can check it out. Lets begin...

1.What is your occupation right now?

I bought Tibor over $100 worth of doggie toys...only one has survived his wrath. I received these toys on Tuesday. Freaking dog!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Love you lots Mom! Happy Birthday! You're 35, right? ;)

I got an e-mail today informing me that a couple of my photos have been put into consideration for being included in the sixth edition of the Schmap Miami Guide. Neat! I gave them the ok to use the pics if my photos are chosen. Lets hope they get picked because that would be kinda cool. Perhaps I have a new career in line? Don’t worry I won’t quit my day job.

This makes me excited for my upcoming trip to the Sea World and I don't care what anyone else says, I'm way excited! I've gotten so many people telling me not to bother or that Sea World is lame, which is lame! I love Sea World! Sure I haven't been there since I was probably around 12 but I have so many fond memories and I can't wait to go. Besides Bryan's never been and that's just not right.

Back to my maybe soon to be somewhat famous pictures...they were pictures I took when Bryan and I went to the Miami Seaquarium, which was pretty much a poor man's Sea World but fun non the less. Here they are for your enjoyment.

I voted. I'm done. Thank God.

And I have to say, I'm actually pretty excited to find out who wins. This is the first time I can honestly say that.

We wish you a merry Christmas; we wish you a merry…wait. What!?

Oh no, it wasn’t today that I heard my first Christmas song on the radio it was on Halloween when said event happened. Now in the DJ’s defense I’m pretty sure he was just trying to be funny, but still! A Christmas song!? Already!? In October!? It seems it starts earlier and earlier every year. Not that I should be complaining because I’m one of those people that loves the all Christmas songs all day radio station conversions but it was just way too early to hear a Christmas song already. On the other hand…does this mean it would be acceptable to go ahead and put up my Christmas tree now? Because I’d be ok with that. For some reason I’m way super pumped for Christmas this year. It’s probably because it’s our first Christmas in our new house and we have a child (meaning dog) who I can buy a bunch of crap for and wrap and put under the Christmas tree…and I will. So if it were up to me our tree would be up and we’d have a ton of lights up on the house along with Santa’s village out on the front lawn, yesterday.

What makes a great Sunday.

1) Raining outside with me inside.
2) Taking a two hour nap on the Love Sac.
3) My husband on my right keeping me warm.
4) My dog on my left keeping me warm.

Oh yeah, now that makes a great Sunday.

The person who designed my tub should be drug out into the street and shot.

Or at least given a stern talking to. Our tub has a built in stopper thing and in theory that’s not bad but what is bad about it is that there is no way to take the stopper completely out. Now whoever thought this was a good idea must have been bald because what happens is my long hair gets stuck in the drain and there’s no way to get it out. I shed more than the dog does so this definitely causes a problem. The worst part is because it takes practically a whole day for the tub to completely drain this causes the bottom to be really slippery. One of these days I am surely going to kill myself slipping in the tub. Who knew taking a shower could be so dangerous.
