1st Anniversary Shenanigans

So our first anniversary was last Sunday. I went with tradition and got T a card cause it is officially our 'paper' anniversary (ok honestly I had forgotten until like four days before and I couldn't figure out what to get him...so I told him to buy himself some sort of electronic device he's been coveting lately). T originally intended to take me to S'port for some gambling and a good meal, but we woke up late and I didn't want to ride in a car for four hours just to get there. So he bought me a dog instead. I think I got a sweet deal.

So our little guy is a 14 month old mutt of sorts (we think part Finnish Spitz part Pomeranian part Shiba Inu) and he was really chill and lazy...until he warmed up to us. Now he's hyper all the time. I'm pretty sure T would give him back to the rescue group (they are a no kill group that fosters the dogs in people's homes, so don't think we are cruel horrible people, k?) in a heartbeat, but I already love the little guy. He looks just like a fox. He's currently curled up next to me on the couch on his Ikea pillow watching America's Next Top Model. Maybe he's a gay dog. That's cool with me. His given name is Buddy, but we want to change it to Sly. Here's a picture of my new furbaby:



We also went to Benihana's for dinner. It was soooo gooood. Worth. Every. Penny. We sat at a table with three other couples, and the dude closest to us let us try his wine out of his glass...he offered...it was random. It was good wine so now we know what to get next time we go (Plum wine).

I can't believe it has been a year since our trip down the aisle. We've settled into this nice little routine and some days it feels like we've been married for years and years. I'm a lucky girl.

We're Going to the Zoo Zoo Zoo

How about you, you, you? You can come too, too, too We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo!

I love that song...in moderation...when you don't have to hear it twice a day for two weeks straight at an orchestra concert for kids.

Anyway, me, B and T all went to the zoo and an outdoor concert for July 4. It was hot, sticky and super fun! We had a really good time. B is leaving to go back to school this weekend, so it was imperative that we get in as much silliness as humanly possible over the past few days. Some silly things at the zoo included mocking the Dinosaurs! exhibit for the cobwebs all over the "real life dinos!", chasing squirrels and pigeons (ok only T did that but it was fun to watch), posing with various statues around the zoo, and standing in line for 20 minutes for a sno-cone (ok that wasn't so fun and silly but it was part of the adventure).

The concert was really good. It was hard for me to just sit back and enjoy because I was analyzing everything in case I needed to run and help my coworkers out, but B and T said they liked it alot. If you've never been to an outdoor concert before, you should go - there are 5 FREE ones every summer in Hermann Park. Next year I resolve to go to more of them and take a picnic and have a nice date with T.

I dyed and cut my hair yesterday. It is pretty awesome. If I remember to take a picture of it I'll post it so yall can see. Until next time!

Wait...We're Still In High School?

Oh ok now I get your attitude. *Rolls eyes and walks away*

That was a good chunk of my weekend. I'm going to vent a little now. M'Kay?

If my obviously not serious blog and the humor behind it offends you, you don't know me very well ok? And the whole not knowing me very well, well who's fault is that really? Though, if I were to be completely honest, the reason you don't know me very well is probably because I choose for it to be that way. I don't need people in my life who are going to bring the drama...I do that just fine on my own. So, if this blog offends you over a simple, tongue-in-cheek statement about when I was a kid, well frankly you should just stop reading and go on your merry little way, especially if you harbor some major ill feelings to begin with and don't really seem to like me all that much. Why be so fascinated with what this blog says if you have no real interest in my non-internet related life?

Maybe I'm being too harsh. I don't really know. I just know I have a really hard time dealing with stuff in my head as it is and I don't need extra sprinkles of crap like what went down this weekend. I'm beyond over it. I have so much good in my life and this type of thing completely grabs my attention away from the good. This kind of thing makes me feel like I'm back in the pettiness that is high school and I'm 27 for heaven's sake...I should be done with this by now!

Ok that's my vent. I promise to blog about my super awesome adventure with my hubs and B later today.
