WELLLLLLLLL I BOUGHT MYSELF A ROOSTA!

I can't WAIT to hear all about your game! Being in the marching band is tops! Free game, you get to perform, and most of all, participate in all the fun traditions with the band!!! I'm so excited/ a little jealous that you get to do all that tonight!

I'm going to call tonight and I want to not leave anything out. SO! Here is our list of things I won't forget to ask about! (I have also inserted a few shots of my glory days for no apparent reason other than personal nostalgia!)

I WANT TO KNOW ALL THE THINGS!!!

marching band is life.

Here's the deal for my tomorrow- wake up at an ungodly hour (just kidding, it's not that bad), rehearsal in pep outfits, load equipment, load buses (get free Jason's Deli), get to the Dome!, hang for a little while, FanZone Pep Rally!, (free Chick-fil-a), enter stadium, PREGAME!!!!! KICK OFF!!!! HALFTIME!!!!! (free Papa Johns), go home. Yeahhhh!!!!

So many things!

Also! on A Cup of Jo, she posted this http://mylittlesheep.com on pet lambs!!! It's meant to be! for sure.

Etsy favorites!

So, you have me hooked on Etsy. There are so many wonderful things! When I am looking for something specific (like, say, an infinity scarf) I can look for it, or I can just pretty much open it and find something random I want.

Here are some treasures that I'm absolutely drooling over!

Buy me all the things!!! Maybe one of these days I'll get a job...

p.s. remember that little tutorial you made on posting videos? it was really helpful! i'm wondering if you could also explain to me very simply how to make a word highlighted so that you can press on it and go to a link? Like Joanna Goddard does in A Cup of Jo? and like you sometimes do? Thanks!

Everything.

I am talking to you right now! I was having a bad night but talking to you makes me feel better :)

Valentine.

Early to make a post about Valentine's Day? yes. Which is why this post is about the newest member of my family (in maybe ten years) - a lamb named Valentine! I saw a picture of a baby lamb the other day and I reminded me of one of my bucket list items - to own a pet lamb. I will name my pet lamb Valentine after the book we had when we were little. Lambs are just SO cute and sweet and I really want one!

Ahh! melt my heart! Just like a happy little puppy!

Unfortunately, when I looked more into owning a lamb, people write how huge and unmanageable they can get. Also some things like they eat everything and that they constantly stink.

(yeah, maybe not so dog-like)

New solution? A lamb foster parent!!! Only keep the lamb for a little while! Check it off my bucket list without making a life commitment to the animal that I am ill-equiped to care for.

But that's ok. I'm still pretty set on owning a Airedale Terrier one of these days and naming him Wizard!

(an Airedale terrier pup)

(so sweet! I think Wizard is the perfect name for this dog)

Other great names I would like to use for my dogs (yes I named my future dogs before thinking about children names) are Mermaid (to go along with the theme of fantasy characters), Friday for an Old English Sheepdog and Django. Mermaid would be a little white dog and Django (pronounced Jango) can be any sort of dog! Maybe even a rescue so Sarah McLaughlin can shut up already! Amen to that!

(He looks like a cool, casual, carefree Friday, doesn't he?)

Unfortunately, there will never be a dog I can adopt who is as great, loving, or adorable as Charles C. McWhorter. Charlie is the best thing that has ever happened to me! 

I love y'all! Have a happy Tuesday!!!
