A Few Things......

* It's my little bro's birthday today!!! I'm a horrible sister and don't have any pictures of him on this computer, but nonetheless the little punk turns 14 today!!

* Going to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner tonight for the bro's birthday, I'll be sure to take pictures of him there. Especially since I hear they make birthday people do crazy stuff, like write their name in the air with their butt :) There's no way I'd miss that photo op.

* In less than 2 years my little brother will be driving. Now THAT is a scary thought.

* I finished the second season of Grey's Anatomy last night, just in time for the third season to start. I'm not gonna lie, I cried. A lot. I don't know what it is but I ALWAYS cry at those shows. Can't help it. I'm emotional.

* Went to the park/field last night with Jake and Maya to watch the hunting training. I'm actually pretty impressed at how well our little dog is doing with the hunting training. I thought for sure that her attention span was way too small for her to hunt, but it's looking like she has some potential for finding birds. Which makes Jake VERY happy.

* I'm babysitting my cousin's baby Kevin the next two nights. I'm way excited. I hope she knows that I'm holding him the entire time I'm there. I don't care if it spoils him :)

* I'm back on a strict budget after two weeks of splurging. We're supposed to be saving for a house. I have not been. oops. But at least now I have a million new cd's, some new clothes, a laptop, and 3 pairs of cute new shoes that I probably won't be able to wear until next summer. That purchase was necessary, right? Yeah, I'm trying to justify it :)

* I was in a lunch meeting yesterday, and in the middle of my chicken salad I realize that Barry Bonds is sitting at the table next to us. That dude is HUGE.

Things that make me happy.....

My laptop came! And can I just say that I LOVE having a laptop. I've never had my own that didn't belong to work. I've spent a lot of time lately putting all my music onto it. My next task is to get my photoshop up and running on it, then put pictures onto it. Soo fun. It was well worth the wait.....

This:
Came out yesterday. And I, of course, had to have it. And there's a slight chance I stayed up way too late last night engrossed. I can't help it. It's good.

While at the store picking up Grey's, I also picked up these:



I listen to my music in phases. Sometimes I listen to nothing but country. Sometimes I listen to nothing but teen bands and bubblegum pop. Apparently right now I'm in my 80's phase. I LOVE all three of these CD's, they're awesome. It reminds me of being a kid. I love that. The next installment to my "CD's that remind me of my childhood" will be Earth, Wind, and Fire, Al Green, and Stevie Wonder. Yup. Classic :)

And finally. I have to give some love to my Colorado State Rams. Who beat the CU Buffs (sorry Alison!) this weekend in the good ol' Rocky Mountain Showdown. I opted not to go to the actual game this year; memories of flying bottles and beer being spilled on me prevented me from getting tickets. I did, however, watch the game at a downtown bar with some other CSU alumni friends. It was a good time, and best of all, we won :)

Go Rams!!

Have a great day!
