Cry baby

Well, it's another rainy day here in St. Louis. It's mornings like these that I hardly can roll out of bed to make it into work. But, I somehow manage to get in the shower and drive in on time.

Josh and I watched "Marley and Me" last night. (Warning: if you haven't seen this movie yet, I'm going to spoil the ending for you.) It really was a cute movie, but I will NEVER -- repeat, NEVER -- watch it again. I mean, I knew going into it that the dog was going to die. It's almost always what happens in a movie about a pet. But, they went into such great detail about how much of an impact this dog had on their lives that I kind of got attached to him myself. It probably would've been different if he unexpectedly got hit by a car or something. Nope... they decided to let him grow old. I started crying the minute he started having health issues and didn't stop until they decided to put him down, buried him, and the kids had read their "goodbye" letters.

Tonight will either be "Slumdog Millionaire" or "Benjamin Button". Please Lord, let me make it through with dry eyes this time.

A Work in Progress

Today I randomly decided that I need a blog. I can't really name a specific reason on why I feel that I need one. I don't have a particularly exciting life.... I don't have strong opinions that I feel the world needs to know.... I don't have some extreme need for attention from everyone.... I just want a blog.

This first blog may be the hardest. Do I say things about who I am, how I grew up, what you may have missed in the past 26 years? Nah. Do I talk about the boring work day I've had today? Nah. Do I talk about how insanely hungry I am right now? Nah. So, now what?

I'll leave this short and sweet. I have a husband, family, and friends that I love to pieces, but there's one thing that makes me smile more than anything in this world......




And I'm just his Aunt. I'm one lucky gal.
