My sister and her boyfriend have been engaged for a week now and I think my dad is starting to worry. He has raised my sister and me since I was three and she was five. He is going to be on an emotional roller coaster when the day comes for him to give her away. I’m sure I will shed a few tears myself. The three of us have always been close and no one has ever been able to keep us apart. My dad has never remarried because he says we are the most important women in his life. Everything he does is for us and I know he will be an emotional wreck on this day. Since the engagement, he has mentioned the wedding everyday and asks me what I think about it. He asks me if they set a date and what kind of ceremony they want. He is full of questions. We are happy for them and I think he is scared of losing her forever. I think he is excited, scared, worried, and happy all at the same time. She is 27 and her boyfriend has waited 3 ½ years to ask her that question. It is going to be weird having a bother-in-law and telling people that my sister is married. I wish them all the best and hope they are very happy.

Who Moved My Cheese?: An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your LifeSpencer Johnson, Ken Blanchard, Kenneth H. Blanchard, Ken Blanchard (Foreword by)image from Barnes&Noble.com

I was told about this book by my boyfriend. We were in Barnes and Noble looking for a book for my Book Review and we found this book too. He has heard many people talk about this book and it was mentioned again in his management class. He told me all about it and said that it was supposed to be really good. It wasn't that long and we didn't have anywhere to be, so we sat down and we both read it right then and there. It was an inspiring book and made we want to change the way I do things in life. I won't give anything away just in case you want to read it, but I will say that it was really easy to read. It even has a few pictures! I would recommend reading it at the store over a latte' with a good freind. We had a great time and that was something neither of us had ever done before.

Money does not make a person a “Good” person. I met someone from the movie industry the other night and he was not a nice person. It seems the more money they have the more they treat others like crap. Don’t get me wrong, some of the stars that come in town are just so polite and treat everyone with the upmost respect. But there are a select few that tend to think they can do no wrong. This guy was even a behind-the-scene guy; he acted like he was the creator of the all movie magic in the world. He was jerk. I would rather them shot movies elsewhere than to bring their bad-attitudes into our city. We don’t need that here, we have enough problems.

I posted a few pictures of my sister’s Yorkie, Roxy. I think it’s funny when she buys Roxy the most expensive toys and clothes. Roxy has an outfit for every occasion. I know more than one person that treats their dogs like this. People are crazed with treating their dogs like royalty. My dad treats his girlfriend’s “Weenie Dog” like one of the family. My boyfriend treats his Pug Polly like his daughter. My mom has figured a pattern to sew Roxy any type of outfit given just a small amount of fabric. My mom likes NASCAR and she was watching Roxy one time and decided to make her a Dale Earnhardt Jr. dress so she could watch the race in style. It was the cutest thing. Even though Roxy is small, Kelli had to cut the dress off of her because it was too small. We laughed for hours about that. When Roxy turn one year old, Kelli made her a cake and bought her an expensive pearl necklace (like in the picture). Of course, the cake is shaped like a bone and it’s big enough for a party of 6-8 adults. Needless to say, we laughed about that too. She also bought her a shirt that said “Birthday Girl.” There is also a picture of Roxy getting her stocking on her first Christmas and her Easter basket on her first Easter. I guess people that do not want kids replace that feeling with animals. I’m sure I will get a puppy when I get my own place because I do not plan on having kids either. Kelli is a great mother to Roxy and I don’t think she could ever replace. The whole family loves her. She really is Princess Roxy. Animals can fill most gaps that people may have in their life. They really are a joy to have.

The picture of the sunset is one that I took during Spring Break. I think it is so beautiful.

I really like to go places and takes pictures of people I know in different surroundings. Of course, I don’t think I am a photogenic person but a good picture depends on the surroundings and who is in the picture with you. I like to see how people can change depending on the atmosphere around them. I have posted a couple of pictures of different places and people. These are people and pets that I love and I love to spend time with all of them.
