Thirteen Things: The One About Me
Yes, I know I said I was going to highlight a blog I love each week, but I don't feel like it this week...!1. I love my new laptop! My brother finally hooked up wireless access, and I can use it anywhere in the house! Woohoo!
2. Carl's Book Challenge has inspired me to read, read, and read some more. I swear last night was the first night I've watched tv in quite some time, and it was cause I was in mourning over finishing Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series (review to come soon!)
3. My Tivo died awhile back; the new one arrived today. I hooked it up and it'll be interesting to see if my tv viewing habits return.
4. I bought a new vac...yes, I got a Dyson! I got it and put it together two days ago, and have yet to give it a whirl...Saturday morning, for sure!
5. Work has been so much better lately with a boss that appreciates me. Not sure WHY I need that so much, but I do.
6. Wolf is driving me insane right now! He wants me to pet him and scratch him and I'm trying to write this. A determined Shiba is hard to ignore! He grabs me with his claws and holds on...then he whines...then he makes the sad Shiba eyes at me ... I'm a baaaaaad mommy to ignore him!
7. Speaking of Wolf, he's been on a NO SNACKS FROM DAD diet for a month or so and he's looking slim and trim! One cup of food a day, 1/2 in the morning, 1/2 at night and he seems to be good to go. I started using a new food, same brand name...Innova, this food is called EVO, and it's all organic. They love it!
8. Got a wedding to shoot this Saturday and another the end of the month, that one is in St. Thomas! I refused payment for either wedding because I'm just not comfortable taking money from friends. The bride & groom from the second wedding, however, bought me a round trip ticket to St. Thomas and paid for my hotel. DAMN that girl! Kidding, I'm psyched as hell to be going, and also that she's getting married...she had a rough time of it for awhile, and things have been working out great for her lately! Go Azzy! Hopefully I'll be able to indulge my craving to swim in the ocean while I'm there.
9. Strangely, it seems as if I've taken a vow of silence. I'm really not talking much, at work or at home. In fact, some days I can almost go without talking to anyone at work. Not sure this is a good thing; I get too used to the quiet and get irritated when it's not quiet.
10. I've fallen in love with a British tv show, The Vicar of DIbley. Ironically enough, I'd bought this as a present for my cousin awhile back...she has good taste!
11. Fall has arrived a bit early here; the leaves are changing and falling.
12. Friday I have a hair appointment...not sure whether I'm going to go silver or honey blond with red highlights. What do you think?
13. My tattoo is completely healed! I do think that I'm going to ask my tattoo guy to outline it with a thin line of black...it doesn't really stand out much...matches my skin tone LOL!

I remember the Vicar of Dibley - used to watch it all the time. The dopey assistant is such a crack-up.
Yay, a Dyson! Leave it to me to get excited about a vacuum cleaner. LOL
I think honey blonde with red highlights would look awesome. Then again, silver is so cool! That wasn't much help, was it?
honey blonde with red highlights!
Blond with red. You are too young to go silver!!!
I was so happy when you got me the Vicar of Dib!!! My favorite Britcom!!
How did we live without TiVo and our Laptop Computers? :)
I say go with the honey blond with red highlights - it so very fall! I on the other hand am going with whatever the hell covers my roots and scraggly greys!
I didn't even know you'd gotten a new tat. I am SO out of the loop. *bush*
My vote's for honey blonde with red highlights, too.
Quiet is good, nothing wrong with that.
Blonde! Because then you will be guaranteed to have more fun.
I just checked out your picture below, I think I might have guessed it right, Lord knows we have enough of those around here right now.
Voting honey blonde with red...Sounds fun! Happy TT...
I'm voting blonde with red, too. I was a redhead for a long time and enjoyed it thoroughly. And it sounds like your clver dog has learned exactly what it takes to get your attention!
Love my Dyson....you be surprised how much stuff you can suck up with that thing!
I say go for honey with the highlights...sounds very pretty!
Happy TT
5. It's important. It's important to not feel taken for granted. Believe me, I know. it's been happening far too often where I work lately...
9. There are days I wish I didn't have to talk to anyone at work. I am quiet, and they bug me that they're not.
11. You can feel free to send some of that Fall here. =)
Oh man, isn't wireless fantastic? Can you imagine not having it? It is such a nice luxury to have. Great T13 list! Very entertaining!
You sound busy! I couldn't imagine all the TV I'd watch if I had TIVO, just because I could. ;-)
Happy TT13 - mines up! :P
From Snape to the Vicar and her pals....quite a jump there! I enjoy that show too; I love Dawn French.
Vicar of Dibley is one of my favorite BritComs, and Dawn French is one of my favorite performers.
And you should definitely go with the blonde/red combination.
Honey blonde with red highlights is my vote.
Enjoy yourself in St. Thomas!! I cant wait to see some scenic shots.
Mama Kelly
Wireless laptops are a little piece of heaven on earth...says she who uses one at home almost exclusively. ;-)
Dyson -- I LOVE THIS MACHINE and with pets -- you will love it (and hate it) when you see how much the thing drags up EVERY time you vacuum no matter how clean you keep your house. Twilight Series -- I am on second book -- will have to skip your review but LOVED the first :) -- Guess we both have a thing for vamps huh?
Honey with Red, add me to the list of voters! I'm a honey blonde also, with lots and lots of silver lurking in the roots. damm silver stalkers, why don't they ever go away??!
What type of laptop did you get? I love mine, and wireless rocks!
St. Thomas? can't wait to see those photos!
Just don't take a vow of silence from blogging! :)
Well, I think it feels good to catch up with what's new with you.
What color is your hair now?
Interesting list, I'd say go with the blonde + highlights. Silver will come naturally sooner or later anyway.
Will we ever get to see your tattoo? ;)
Definitely honey blonde with red highlights ;-)
and I used to love the Vicar of Dibley, especially the christmas specials.
Ooh, I wonder what silver would look like?
I'm finally on the chapter "The Prince's Tale". Slowly getting there.
You are so lucky that Fall is there. I'm getting really tired of this heat.
Honey blonde w/ highlights. :D
Glad your dog is doing well on his new food. I've wanted to try that brand for my girls - or something all organic - but of course I can't find anything like that here (I live in the middle of nowhere!). :-( I would just order it off the internet if it weren't for the exorbitant shipping costs.
I love my Dyson.
Happy TT!
That's so cool you're getting to fly out for Azzy's wedding. :)
Did you get a dual tuner tivo or just the normal kind?
I'll say honey blonde with red....it seems to be the consensus....Have a great week!
Oh, I so recognize #6 from my former dog, very hard to ignore with a very annoying whining.... *giggles*
I envy you your hairdresser appointment. Blonde and silver sound interesting :-)
Blond with red high lignts
I too turned that # I don't yet say. I had my 49+1 birthday June 10th this year!
I hope you have fun at those wedding and taking the pictures!!
Thanks for visiting!!
I can certainly understand the wanting to be appreciated for the work you do. I'll have to check out that British show of which you speak.
Wow, I am way behind and out of the loop as usual. Remember when I used to blog and read every day?
Anyway, I'm SO EXCITED to hear about Wolf losing weight and your dad sticking to the plan.
The Innova Evo is great. I cook for Snick, but I use the Evo in his treat ball at night and he loves it. Good, healthy stuff... NO GRAIN.
Kiss Wolf for me.
