What's Your favorite thing about Winter??
Yup, that about sums up my day.
I stayed at Ty's last night and this mornin we woke up at 6am and went to a city to do some shopping with his family. His family owns the DVD rental/consignment/tanning salon in my tiny hometown and they are remodeling the front of the shop. So we spent 2 hours in Menards. No bueno. Ty and I walked around while his dad shopped and looked at neat stuff that we would like to have in our house one day, so that lasted a half hour, then we were super bored.
We ended up finally going out to eat at Ryan's (buffet), and it was awesome. I was a bit pissy this morning because Summer doesn't run well on low sleep and low sugar. I just don't operate without breakfast. I get migraines and get hot, not to mention I get sassy easily. I'm not typically a fun lady in the mornings.
Anywho. I got to go to a Hallmark store today too. And I have a sweet spot for Precious Moments figurines. Not that I have any, cuz they're freakin expensive, but they're adorable. And I'm not a fan of nick nacks, so that's saying something. But today I saw a huge Disney/Pixar collection and it wassoo cute! Everything from all the Princesses, to Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland. My favorites were these two (I deleted the photos that I took off my phone, so I used Google)
And then Lion King rocks, so yeah.
When we got home we gave Nitro a haircut. Well, we attempted to give him a haircut. He is an American Eskimo so he has super thick and coarse hair white. The clippers made for dogs couldn't even cut it. Kept clogging the blade and stopping. So I chopped some up with scissors to try to get it short enough for the blade to work again. But it was still too thick, so now he looks ridiculous.
But hey, he's still cute when you look at his face!He was a happy boy after he got out of the bath though, got a fancy new camo collar and a new name tag from his parents:)

| Every time Ty turned on the clippers he would wig out, but when I had my scissors on him he sat there like a pretty boy and took it like a man. :) So, we had to hold him down when we clipped. |
THEN. I learned about the fantastic show that is, Duck Dynasty. How have I not known of this magic?? It's about a family of super rich rednecks. Rich because they are the family behind Duck Commander duck hunting calls. These guys are redneck to the core. I mean muck boots all day, long beards, hunting fanatics. It's also freakin hilarious! I encourage you (strongly in fact) to at least youtube some clips. It's fantastic. My favorite from tonight is from the episode where Willie's daughter is dating and before she leaves for a dance Willie gives her date a duck call. Then he goes: "If his lips are gonna be on something I made I'd rather it be a duck call."
It's more funny if you watch it. I watched 4 or 5 episodes tonight and I'm hooked!
Instagram!
Day 7 of the October Photo Challenge that I have been doing is Light.
So I took a picture of my eye, showing the reflection of the light in it.
I really couldn't come up with anything clever, so boom.
Tomorrow is Angle.
So now I am writing this last tid bit and heading off to bed.
Here's some things to entertain your brains.
