Happy Birthday Betty White!

Happy birthday Betty! She's one of my favorite old gals, and I love that I got to grow up with such a perfect role model. She's sweet classy lady, who makes me laugh out load and want to rescue an animal at the same time. I'm so happy that with all the crazy celebrities we have out there that we have Betty to show us how it's really done! Bravo Betty!

Gettin Green

I got a new water bottle today. Normally I wouldn't brag about such a thing, but this has to be by far my favorite water bottle! It's made out of glass, and the green is all grippy so I don't brake it. Yes, this is what we call environmentally friendly my friends. I hate buying plastic water bottles when I can just fill one up over and over again. Especially a cute one like this. 

I also found out that today is the premier of Downton Abbey! I completely forgot that it was coming back the beginning of January, and stumbled upon the ad by chance! Thank goodness I saw it, or I would be pretty ticked off.

Western Movie Marathon

There has been a lot of John Wayne movies on AMC lately. My Dad grew up with John Wayne, and there for, so did I. When I was younger I thought his movies were pretty boring, but now as I grow older and re-watch them I think they're pretty amazing. Especially compared to a lot of movies that are made today (yeah, I'm talking about you Gigli). Now that I'm not living with my parents anymore, when ever I see a John Wayne movie on TV I start watching. It does get me a little homesick, but it brings me back to some good memories with my Dad. And thanks to John Wayne on AMC, I've been introduced to Hell On Wheels, which is good piece of western television if I do say so myself!

Making you smile

In these cold, dark, and boring days of January, I thought I would send you some warm, bright, and exciting images of the family dog. Here he is at my Dad's, enjoying the summer weather and my Dad's flamingo. 

Pure joy. What could be better?
