Thanks again, Jenni. :)
1. Worst trouble you ever got into as a teenager?
Oh Geeze. I don't even know where to begin with this one. I was a bad bad teenager. I had boyfriend drama, experimented with drugs, drank, had a mouth, etc. The worst was probably ditching school. I ditched school, no joke, every single day. One time while I was ditching, I got into a car accident on my way back. Yeah...Dad was pretty pissed about that one. Especially since he bought me that car a month prior to me wrecking it. Sorry Dad!
2. Are you a morning person or a night person?
Night, for sure.
3. Are you a One handed or Two handed texter?
Two. I have a Blackberry so it's like a keyboard and you have to use two hands.
4. Democrat, Republican, or Independent..or maybe even Green Party (whatever that is).
Independent.
5. Are you a pet person?
I'm pretty sure that's obvious considering every other one of my posts are labeled "Pups". :) Love my doggies.

Oh lookie, I already completed a goal!
#92. Order new drivers license for both Husband and Me
This is something I kept meaning to do. Not neccessarily putting it off, but just not getting around to it. We've lived in our house for a year and a half, and I still haven't changed our address with the DMV or gotten new drivers license with the correct address. I don't know why, it's quick online and cost $4 per license. So I finally remembered and got around to it! Yay! Now I don't have to lie to cops when they ask if it's the correct address (when I get pulled over). haha
101 in 1001
Okay, okay. I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Figured I'd do something positive. :) Oh and Jaye, Jenni, Jamie(wow J's haha), Mya, Stacey, Patty, and Lisa - You can all use me to mark off your goal to inspire someone to make a 101 list, cause you all inspired me. I used all of your lists as examples
The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).
Why 1001 Days? Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such as New Year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.

5 Question Friday (on a Saturday)
Stole from Jenni. Tried to link you, but it didn't let me, sorry. :) You can find her over there ----> on my friends list.
1. What's your "comfort food"?
Mexican food or a big breakfast - Biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon. Yum!
2. Do you send Thank You's (handwritten or email)?
Only for things like weddings, bridal showers, etc. and those were handwritten. If it's just a regular gift I thank in person.
3. If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose?
I don't watch many shows... mostly reality, and I wouldn't really want to be on a reality show. I'm too boring. I'd be that girl on the Real World that they never video tape and all I do is talk on the phone with my boyfriend the whole time. haha But, I would say Vampire Diaries mmmmhmmm hello to both Stephan and Damon. Or Chelsea Lately if that counts. Non stop laughing there.
4. What is your favorite online recipe site?
sparkrecipes.com
5. If you had to choose: "Friends" or "Seinfeld"?
FRIENDS for sure. Never liked Seinfeld.

Christmas Puppies
So I tried taking my annual Christmas photos of the dogs by the tree... yeah, didn't work out too well for me this year. Here's what I got.
This one turned out ok. It's the only one I got of her without her ears back, because I'm saying, "Noooo! Lily! Stay! Sit! Noooooo!" and I'm pushing 3 other dogs away and yelling at one of the big ones because she is curious and wants to know what's going on while getting all up in my picture and ruining it. Ack!
This one looks pretty much like last year's. He can't keep his eyes open because of the flash. His face makes me laugh.
(Gizmo last year)
2 seconds later, this happened...
And this is Bob. Bob is awesome. He's not mine, but I wish he were. He's Husband's BFF's dog, who is staying with us right now. Bob really is the coolest dog you'll ever meet. He's such a lover. I let him borrow Gizmo's scarf. He looks scared. haha

New Office Furniture!
We found an awesome deal on craigslist for this office furniture. We needed it badly. I will be working from home (yay!) probably starting next week, plus I really needed more room for crafts. My Mother-in-law is teaching me how to sew. :)
Here's the before with our small IKEA desk, and cluttered drawer thingies
And after (note: I still need to decorate this room, so it's pretty bare)
My Twilight collection haha. (In defense, I didn't buy ANY of this. My friends buy it for me), but hey, would you complain about looking at Robert Pattinson for 12 months? Nope, not me!
