Where are you Christmas???

So we decided to wait until Christmas to get a puppy. I may not be able to get the sweetheart below, but I know there will be others out there. I can't wait!

men....

So all I got was a "no" out of Jeff. How can he look at those puppies and not even smile???!!! I know if we were looking at doberman puppies he would want one...

Puppies!

Isn't she cute! Wish me luck!
Allyson and I got a little distracted today. She came over to let the new owners of their house do a last walk through before the close. She brought her little girls, Shelby and Dora. I was laying on the sofa playing with them when we decided to look for puppies for sale in Baton Rouge. Bad Idea!
We found some only 8 miles away! We couldn't resist! We went out to see them and fell in love immediately! Now, I just have to work on winning Jeff over!

I hate dieting

So I have realized that I have become a lot more "squishy" than I really prefer to be. I used to be able to eat whatever I wanted and work out and I would be fine. Now, it seems that is not going to cut it any more. My family has always been pretty big advocates of the low-carb diet, so I thought I would give it a shot. I have been very good for the past 4 days. I think the only thing I miss, right now, is sushi! Why does rice have to be so bad on this diet?! ugh!

My Sister's Keeper

My whole life I have never been much of a reader. It was never a hobby that I could find exhilarating; in fact, I never even considered it a "hobby" before. I don't know if it is because I didn't have the patience, or a ball of energy that could not sit for more than a few minutes, or because I was a slow reader, or because every book I read was an assignment for school (which typically implied that they were long and boring and a subject that bored me to death!), or if i had not discovered an author that could write such wonderfully intriguing, yet controversial issues that keep you on edge from the very beginning. Jodie Picoult is just this author that I have been searching for. I have read 3 of her books in the past 2 months (a personal record) and can not wait to get the next one!
My Sister's Keeper is just one of those books that must be read. It grabs you from the start and, despite the fact that I have finished it, still hasn't let go.
I finished it this afternoon. I was laying on the sofa reading the last few pages when Jeff came home from work. I was a mess; I couldn't get myself to stop crying! I have never been so emotionally attached to a fictional character! Needless to say, it really hits home and makes you think.
I love this new hobby of mine. I will let you know what I plan to read next. Hopefully one by Jodi Picoult!

music playlist

HELP! Does anybody know how to add a playlist to my profile?? (I know some of you do because you have one!) hehe.
I have a playlist with Project Playlist on www.playlist.com, I am just not sure how to embed it.
