Scary Pets
Dave and I decided that we should get a pet for Camlin; something small so she can learn about taking responsibility. We thought a guinea pig was a great idea: not too messy, pretty well contained, easy to feed, etc. So, on Saturday we drove to the pet store and Camlin picked out an adorable white, black, and tan female and she was giddy as she petted it's silky coat. But, when we attempted to pass it to her, she screamed so loud she scared us! This was quickly followed with, "I don't like guinea pigs".
Next, we looked at fish. Camlin was completely taken with the Disney Little Mermaid fish tank, but when we went to pick out a fish she was just a little too excited about hitting the tank to scare the fish. Another plan foiled. We left defeated.
Then just last night as we played in the yard after dinner, a neighbors (rather large) cat joined us. Camlin had so much fun playing with Mars. She was so cute and things were going so well. Maybe we should get her a kitten. Then disaster struck when Camlin went in for another stroke, covering Mars' head, and he bit her on the arm. We've officially given up.

All About Me
Well it's been a year since I finished the course work, but I finally picked up my degree from school. While I've been a graduate for sometime now, and even started on my MBA already, it didn't really feel official until I had my degree in hand!
A couple of weeks ago, my friend Christina lent me a book called Skinny Bitches. It's title is misleading however, as it's purpose is to convert meat eaters to vegans rather than to help people lose weight. Let me tell you, if you've ever needed a reason to stop eating meat, read this book. I am not ready to commit myself to a completely animal-product-free existence, but I have cut out most meat from my diet (much to Dave's chagrin). We'll see how long I can live without a nice bloody steak ...
