I'M ALIVE!!!!!

Believe it or not, I am still alive!!! Sorry for disappearing, but, I haven't had much time for anything else because we just recently added a furry addition to our ever growing zoo.

This is Lucy! I had fallen in love with her at one of the SPCA booths back in August when she was a puppy, but didn't get her. I saw her again at another booth in October and still wanted her, but, still didn't get her. Then she got adopted and I though, okay, it's done. No more. But, I just happened to be checking the SPCA website and there she was!!! Apparently her previous owner had developed Alzheimer's and had to return her. I took this as a sign that she was meant to be mine and went to the SPCA that weekend and filled out the paperwork. And now she's my baby girl.

She's a chow mix, not sure mixed with what. Some people are saying Sheltie, some people say Cocker Spaniel, some say Golden Retriever because of her hair. She's only about 30 pounds. She's SUCH a good dog. So, so, soooo very lovable. My only complaint is, she likes to run out the door (she's already escaped twice) and she doesn't like other dogs. But, we're working on that. She's only been out of the pound for 3 weeks and she's come along way, obedience wise, since then. 

And of course, she's already spoiled.

I love the fur around her arms. It makes it looks like she's wearing a shirt with fluffy sleeves haha.

I've also been absent because I've allowed myself to get COMPLETELY obsessed with the Hunger Games haha. I had been told to read it before the movie came out, but, thought I didn't have time to. So, I finally made myself break down and buy them and read them. I was done within less than a week. Holy Cow! So good!!! Except for the ending. Not too thrilled with the ending. And everyone else I've talked to seems to feel the same.

I just saw the movie this weekend. It was meh. I mean, I liked the actors, it just needed maybe an extra half hour to it (and the cave scene needed to be better Gah), but, when movies are directed at tweens, they don't normally go over two and half hours. But, I've been listening to the soundtrack nonstop!!! Have you guys heard this!?! I mean... AMAZING!!! Best 12 bucks I ever spent!

This is my favorite song from it. The Civil Wars are ridiculously good. I can't believe I had never heard of them until now. They have two tracks on the album. 



Beautiful.

I also recently found out they're doing tours in Asheville, NC where they teach you survival training, have Hunger Games themed meals, teach you archery, take you zip lining at night and take you on tours of the filming locations. Um, sign me up!!!! Especially since it's so close to home and one of the tour weekends is my birthday weekend! What better way to celebrate turning 25 then fully immersing myself into a teen fiction series!

  2. Haha thank you! And she knows it too. She knows all she has to do is give you the eyes and she gets whatever she wants :). As gorgeous as she is, I can't believe somebody didn't adopt her before me! Also, they just got another dog in that looks almost exactly like her. We're convinced it's her brother.
