Pic of the Week: March #1

I really can't wait to have a better camera. Hopefully this time next year I'll have a nice DSLR to explore and capture with, but in the meantime I really just want a better phone.

My phone is a purple blackberry curve and while it was kind to me for some time, I'm well past a need for an update. I used my update to upgrade Josh's phone for his birthday last year, which he loved!

I'm eligible for an upgrade in April. I'm itching so badly for a new phone AND a new camera. I take so many pictures with my phone on a day to day basis. Plus, I'm ready to start the 365 day photo challenge for my 101 in 1,001.

I'm looking at getting the Iphone 4s. I've been "against" apple for quite some time, but reading Steve Jobs biography has me intrigued. Also, I'm anxious for Siri. Being a Realtor and always on the go I really think it'll help me with day to day tasks. Here's hoping!

My cuddle pup. = )
Blogging the other night in bed she curled up right beside me and slept for quite some time.

Pic of the Week: 4th Week of February

Sorry I'm a day late, I'm on the 2nd week of fighting whatever I have.

So a little story first:

Josh and I have been sick together since 2 Sundays ago. Last weekend Josh wasn't doing particularly well so I was taking care of him (we've been taking turns). He requested some soup and oj and unfortunately we didn't have any. So I made the trip to the grocery store and did some shopping.

While I was there I kept wanting to find him something. See, when I was I really sick and had to stay home from school when I was younger my mom and dad would get me a stuffed animal, or a game, or something just to make me smile.

I thought stuffed animal: Ellie would attack
Candy: Not different enough
Flowers: He wouldn't care for them
And, so I left. As I'm pulling out of the parking lot I saw what I wanted to get him at the store next door, a dollar store.

I got him a Get Well balloon. Goofy and it did make him smile, but the enjoyment we've got from it. Ellie was flat out ?scarred? of it. It's still inflated and floating around, but it's so funny.

At one point we tied a treat to it to try and desensitize her to it and she would lay down and try to lunge quick. It was like watching a crocodile snap, multiple times, but she never got close enough.

It's really too cute. So this weeks' picture is our pup starring down her arch nemesis. Haha!

I hope you guys are loving the new blog look, I know I am. I have Rachael at You, Me, and Natalie to thank for all of her work. It's still a work in progress, but isn't coming along so nicely?!

So I was going to show you this pic of Miss Ellie Mae..

but then right while I was typing this up she hops up on to my lap, walks over to my left side, and sits...here, just look:

She's "propped" up on my Left leg (pushing her self up with both front paws) so that she can sit like a person. What a goof. She's been doing this more and more lately along with pushing herself to this and then flopping back so we can rub her belly.

Haha, love our little girl. =)

Has your furbaby acquired any odd tricks not really "taught" to them?

And yet again it's our little girl, Ellie Mae. My favorite photo target. =)

I'm sorry my pic of the week is always Miss Ellie Mae, but how can you deny her cuteness? I took this while I was getting my nails done last night. Such a sweetheart.

Surprisingly enough this past weekend on our way to PA, Miss Ellie Mae was on pretty good behavior. She's getting to like the spot above the back seats more and more. So I couldn't help, but take some pics of her. This is my favorite though.

Ellie Mae LOVES to play, but she loves to snuggle too, especially when I'm on the computer. Let me show you.

Pic of the Week #1

      Of.
           The.
                   Week.

This is in no way a "quality" picture (I took it with my blackberry), but I just loved it and this moment.

Saturday we woke up to snow, heavy and wet snow. This is Ellie's first winter with us..and we cracked the blinds when we woke up and she just STARED out of the window. This is not a normal behavior, she doesn't do this on a regular basis, but she was just watching the snow fall. It was the cutest thing!

So I see I've gained some more followers..thanks, guys!
