1. There are so many boys in my house right now. Chad is hosting an all day board game playing event. Honestly, I don't even mind it. I am used to having lots of boys around from when I went to see Chad in Rolla during college, so it kind of reminds me of the good old days. I'm not even required to cook dinner, although I did have to order the pizza for them.
2. I am going to be an aunt! Chad's sister is pregnant. With child. Preggo. Knocked up. She is due Labor Day Weekend (ha) and I am just so very grateful that someone else has taken the burden of "First Grandchild" off of my shoulders. Go Amy!
3. Went over to Zona Rosa to shop with Mandy today and bought a pair of nude pumps. I would post a picture, but really, can't you just imagine them? They are 2.5 inch, patent leather, nude colored pumps. Pretty much the most boring shoe on the planet. But I needed them.
4. Mandy is taking my first-born cat away from me on Wednesday. He is hiding from me because I am annoying him with all of the hugging and crying and begging him not to leave. It will be fine in the long run - Mandy will have a cat, (she loves cats), Camry will be the only cat in the house, (Camry doesn't love cats), and Chad's allergies might be a little better.

A Celebrity Crush
I am going to have to come back to "An Old Photo" when I have time to scan one at work.
My celebrity crush is definitely Ryan Reynolds. Google a photo of him if you don't know who I'm talking about - You'll thank me after you see it.

Something I Want to Buy
Boys, go away, this won't interest you.
I really, really, really want the Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palette.
Do I want it because it is impossible to find? It is sold out everywhere!

Something I Bought Recently
I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of black boots for several months. After buying and returning many pairs from Zappos.com, I decided to give up. If my perfect boots are not within the thousands of boots at Zappos, then they don't exist.
Problem is, I asked for Zappos gift cards for Christmas in order to purchase my boots, so I needed to buy something else.
Ladies and Gentleman, I would like you to meet my new wallet:
I loved my old wallet. It was red. It was made of tiny seatbelts. But it didn't keep me very organized. There weren't enough pockets to hold all the different cards and it was too easy to just throw stuff in there.
As you can see, this one has many pockets and there is really no option but to stay organized. If I just stick stuff in there then it will probably fall out. So far it is working great.

Pet Peeves
Not only did I skip a day, but I also mixed up the order of the prompts.
I honestly have so many pet peeves that I couldn't even begin to name them all. I am easily annoyed.
Some of the major ones are:
- Mouth noises. Like smacking, gum popping, etc. Basically any noise that is made with your mouth, I don't wanna hear it.
- People who are late for their appointments and don't apologize. People who say "I will be there in 10 minutes" and actually get there in 20 minutes. People who are late for their appointments every single time. If I have to lie and tell you that your appointment is 15 minutes before the actual time because I know you will be late, that is a problem.
- People who come to claim their dog from the animal shelter, but won't put them on a leash when they leave the building. They always claim that the dog "will stay right by them." Really? Then how did they get picked up by animal control in the first place?

Something I Crave
The most common cravings I have are Sleep and Chipotle.
This was a horrible prompt - I just don't know what else to say about cravings. It's not like I have to explain why I crave these things - everyone craves sleep and Chipotle!

Snow Day
I am so sick of hearing about the snow. I was finally sent home from work around 2:30 yesterday afternoon. I made it to within a few blocks of our house before getting stuck. A guy saw me and tried to shovel me out, but I wasn't even close to moving. So I walked home.
Chad was already home, so a little later we walked down to try and get the car off to the side, so it wasn't right in the middle of the road. But Chad decided we should try and get it all the way home. There was so much shoveling. And going forward and backward and forward and backward and we couldn't see anything and his beard was completely frozen over and my mascara was all over my face and we were a mess and cold and I hate the snow.
Another guy was helping us shovel and then a 3rd guy decided to contribute by leaning against his truck, drinking a cup of coffee and telling us that "The new Mini Coopers have 4-wheel drive!!" I wanted to hit him with my shovel and bury him in a snowdrift.
After being pushed, shoveled and even towed part-way home, we got Minnie halfway into the driveway and quit. About 10 minutes later the doorbell rang and my neighbor was there telling me I should try once more to get the car in the garage. So I get my boots back on, peel Chad off the floor and go back out. Two of our neighbors had completely shoveled our entire driveway! One of the neighbors put down some sand and with 3 guys pushing, Minnie was finally inside!
Chad stayed home today, and I am off on Wednesdays anyway, so we are just staying home and warm. They still haven't plowed our road, and I'm afraid if they don't by tomorrow then I still won't be going anywhere.
