Dogs of Note
Here are some of my favorite dog breeds (in no particular order):
Bulldog
Why I Like Them: Smooshy face, lazy, and I think they grunt and snore.

Why I Like Them: Wiggly and cute, but in an ugly way. They may also grunt.

Why I Like Them: Cute but not cloyingly so, as with chihuahuas.
Pug

Why I Like Them: I definitely like the black ones better, as racist as that sounds. Again, I think it's the grunting and snorting sounds.
I also really like: Bassett Hounds, Puggles, Dachshunds, West Highland White Terriers, and most dogs that are fat and lazy.

My favorite celebrity
I love Paula Deen!!! If you've never seen her Food Network show "Paula Deen's Home Cooking," you are missing out. She's the queen of butter, the empress of cheese, the maven of deep-frying...I knew it was love when she actually grunted with glee while tasting some of her deep fried goodness.
I would absolutely love to taste her homemade goodness...just once, Paula. Just once.
At this very moment I am watching her wrap squares of macaroni and cheese with bacon, battering them up, and deep frying them.
Though I'm a vegetarian, I must stand up and applaud.

Sunshine
Thank goodness the sun has finally come out and the air is warm. It has been FREEZING (for California anyway) the past month, but the last few days have been gorgeous.
I generally love the rain. I was born during a rainstorm, and I love waking up in the middle of the night hearing rain beating down on the roof. But something about a warm sunny day after a cold spell is magical.
It must be my years in Santa Barbara. The hippie in me comes out when it's warm and sunny, and I just want to lounge around in the sun. Another important thing I learned in Santa Barbara, though, is that I can't stand weather that's constantly the same -- I need a little variety.
I think this quote by Anne Bradstreet says it best: "If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome."
That's true with regard to many aspects of life. It's during the times when things are tough that you realize how good you had it before (and hopefully will have again).
