Bones, Aladdin, and Some Hats

Good morning, afternoon, or evening.  I have a new obsession... the song "One Jump Ahead" from Disney's Aladdin.  It is absolutely wonderful, and I have nothing more to say about it!  Aladdin has such a great voice and the tune is just so catchy.  :]]  {I can't believe I'm raving on and on about this.}  Here's the video, you must watch it.  I command you.

January 1st, {New Year's} was my birthday and my dad gave me two things that I asked for, The Christy TV series from the 90's and my *favorite* TV show ever, Bones.  Yes, it may not be the best TV show in the world for younger viewers as it's kind of gross and inappropriate at times, but it is wonderful.  Really, that makes it OK, right?  No, not really.  But I still love it.  I just received the second part today, which is the first three seasons on Bones.  I have seen almost all of them, I imagine... but I still want to be able to watch them whenever I want.  It's wonderful!  I love my Bones!  

Hats.  Hats?  Hats.  I'm not a hat-person.  I'm told they look nice on me, but I don't know.  Anyways, I have two hats that I own.  They're pretty much exactly the same except for different colors.  Since I practiced rolling my own hair last night, I have curly hair again {yay!}.  I thought that with the curly hair the hats would look nice, so here are some pictures of me in my {cute} hats.

 This hat I received as a gift a few years ago... it was handmade!

  I got this hat at JC Penney last January.  It didn't have a tag and it was the last one, 

so I got it for only .99!  Woohoo!

Do you like my look?  I think it's very cute.  I'm still wearing the pink one.  We took Fritzy to the vet today to... well... get him snipped.  Poor guy.  I'm tagging along, and I figured this cute hat would be appropriate for the cold weather.  Also, how do you like my new header?  I made it last night/this morning.  I think it's pretty, though Elle would tell you otherwise.  We don't exactly have the same taste.   {At all.}  Well, as Tigger would say, "Ta-ta for now!"

 

Fritzy and Barnie

Fritzy has been much more adventurous and trusting the past two days-- yay!  He's actually coming out from under the bed by himself!  I know, it's sad that I'm getting really excited over that.  But anyways, he's also coming out to let us pet him and he's exploring upstairs.  Barnie is actually getting along with Fritzy, too.  Our last cat, Gisele, would hiss and growl like a mountain lion every time Barnie got near.  The only problem is, Fritzy likes to rub himself over Barnie and Barnie doesn't like that.  It's pretty funny, but also sad because Barnie is always rejecting him.  They are playing with each other and pouncing on each other without fights, so praise God!  They like each other!  :]]  Victory!

 Fritz is the small one staring at the camera... he was still scared of me when I took this picture.  He only weighs 7 pounds!  Barnie weighs 13.

 He is really, really playful.  I love watching him play, he's adorable.

 This was when he was pouncing on the hanger.

Whenever Barnie starts batting at Fritzy or something, Fritz always lays down really quick and rolls over on his belly.  He's saying, "Chill out!  You're the dominate one!"  It's really funny.

Everything is going to be starting up again this week.  Winter break was no fun because I was just sitting around the house all day.  Now this week my SHEEP classes and drama class start up again.  Then next week I have my public speaking class (yippee) is starting up.  I love being busy!

These Past Days

I know, I know.  It's been 3 days since I posted.  I've been slack, but I have good reason.  More or less.

But I have been busy, really!  It's not my fault that I lead such an interesting life that I can't take 20 minutes out of my totally packed schedule to write a blog post.  I just haven't got the time.  It's snowing in South Carolina!  (awkward change of subject)  Yes, it's true!  For the second time this year (remember back in February?)!  This is an amazing weather phenomenon!  What's supposed to happen once every ten years has now occurred TWICE in this marvelous year, 2010.  I think we should have a party.  Anyone interested?

 Some light flurries.  :]]

 A little recap of what's been going on these past days I've been offline:

December 24th-- After I slept with my curls, my hair looked even more amazing than it had the previous day.  I got some sunglasses and shoes from Cato and a cute new pink sweater from Walmart. 

My new sunglasses-- I truly love them! 

My pur-dy curly/wavy hair.  Perfect for hitting the town!

On Christmas Eve we also got a new kitty named Fritzy.  Well, that's his nickname.  His full name, you may ask?  Bailey's Ragdolls Lord Fritzgerald.  Yes, a truly remarkable name for a truly remarkable cat.   (Barnie's full name?  Clarkston Rag's Sir Barnabas)  Though Fritzy is a very timid, shy kitty.  He's spent his days hiding under my parents bed (we're keeping him in their bedroom the first week or so).  He's very sweet and very soft, but he's also very shy.  He probably didn't like the fact that the first day we had to comb out his matts and wash his tail.  The breeder didn't keep up on grooming him-- he was dirty.  :[[

Here's a not-very-good picture of him before he darted under the bed.  He's going to be a lot darker than that.  Barnie is a blue bicolor, meaning that his fur will be a dark-ish gray in certain places.  Fritzy is a seal bicolor, meaning that he will turn dark brown in places.

December 25th-- Nothing.  We basically just sat around the house.  We didn't do gifts or anything for Christmas, just watched TV.  Fritzy was our present!  :]

Decmber 26th (today)-- Went over to hang out with Grandma Barb while she was staying at her friend, Laurie's who is out of town visiting her daughter.  We baked ginger snap cookies (not hard, very soft!  really delicious!) and pumpkin bread pudding, which was also good.  I ate so much dessert today though that ever since 3:00 I've felt like I was going to throw up.  No lie.  But we did go to Goodwill today.  That was when it started snowing!  I didn't get anything, but Grandma got a few books for my cousin, Xander.  

Am I not adorable?
