Andy + Mia

I now have a sister-in-law! Congrats!!

gross.

Last night, I had to pull a tick out of my dog. It was about a quarter of an inch from her eye. I used my (now retired) eyebrow tweezers and yanked. Hard.
It was the most real thing I've ever had to do in my life.
Goosebumps for two days straight.

The last book in the Twilight series arrived today. I might cry when it's over... which will be in like 2 days. I can't put down these books.
Afterwards, I return to adult reading. Promise.


My future sister-in-law has an interview soon and she is preparing a sample lesson where the kids will have to look at photos of people's bedrooms and bathrooms (unedited, of course) and write profiles on who they think lives there (or something like that).
I can take a couple of guesses on what they'll write about us...

doom's day

It's December 19th and it's 73 degrees outside. I'm fairly certain the world is collapsing. It snowed in New Orleans a week ago. It snowed in Nashville a week ago (proof below). Actually, I don't remember it ever being as cold as it's been this year. And now today. We're doomed.

Thanks to Brent and Brock, I'm learning German. I've only learned about 30 words so far, but my favorite is sieben (seven), and my least favorite is pferd (horse), primarily because I can't say it correctly and I don't ever, ever see the need to know that noun in German. So far I can string together only a couple of useless sentences (The boy is under/in/on the table/airplane/boat), but I have high hopes.


I thought about talking about how my nail polish looks like a 2-year-old's, but then I thought, "Nah, too much excitement for one blog."
Or did I?

I heart puppies.

PUPPY!!!!

Meet Bela. She's a Lab/Beagle mix. She's 9 weeks old, and adorable. Look at those ears!!




We're sold. Now we only have to get our two cats to love and accept her as one of their own. I'll keep you posted.

halloween!

I am apparently terrible at carving pumpkins - something I was oblivious to since the last time I carved a pumpkin I was a Girl Scout.
First, I did a ghost.... then it just fell apart. So then I made a face, but it has a hole through the back of its head from the failed ghost.
Lee's is cute though.
