I post with pictures today, my friends.

Pictures of puppies.

Pause-

Before you click off my post, I promise I’ll talk about more than dogs, okay?

Having said that- pick out my pup!

Below are a few maltese males that are available. They’re the cutest things ever (in my opinion, of course. We’re more a “big dog” couple, but they’re not exactly conducive to apartment dwelling.).

I had my heart set on the tiny little baby one in the middle of this picture:

However, after doing the math, those pups are too young and won’t be 12 weeks when we fly back (that’s the required minimum age for puppies flying abroad).

Sigh, so I had to stop gushing over them and look at the other cuties. I have 2 that I’m partial to right now, but I won’t tell you which 2 they are just yet. I forwarded Will the pictures, but he hasn’t said which one he likes yet, though I can almost tell you right now which one I’m sure he’ll pick.

So, I know malteses may not be your cup of tea- but darn it- pick me out a puppy.

Alright, I promised little dog talk, so that’s enough of that.

I look at my planner (aka my second Bible) daily and see the countdown for vacation and think, “It’s really here!” I think Will could sense that although I’m thrilled about going home, I’m not quite as excited as I was last year when we were home for Christmas. He was so sweet last week. He called me and told me he wanted me to have a great time and that he wanted me to be as excited for this trip as I was last time. Most of our trip is going to revolve around football, so he mentioned me finding stuff to do while we’re on vacation so I had something to look forward to too.

So-

I did just that. I got online yesterday and looked at stuff to do while we’re in Minneapolis. The majority of both days we’re there will (obviously!) be spent at the Mall of America, however, at night we’ll have some down time! I opted to see if there was anything we could do at night that might be fun. 

I stumbled across http://www.acmecomedycompany.com, a comedy club where you can have dinner and see a good standup show! I thought it would be really fun for us to go do that, and I was certain Will would feel the same way. Only, not really. He was cute. When I told him his eyes got big and forced a semi-excited, more of a questioning, “A comedy club, huh?!” Yeah, you can’t fool me. I could totally sense the false excitement. Great, so cold water was totally poured on my idea. I know he didn’t mean to, but I could tell the idea didn’t thrill him.

So- we’re doing it anyway.

I mean, I enjoy football, but our trip seriously revolves around it- like SERIOUSLY. We’re flying from Minneapolis to Dallas to go to the OU-Texas game and then every Saturday from then on out is either spent at OU or traveling to Texas or Missouri for OU road games. Crap- we’re even cutting our trip to Colorado to see my grandparents short so we can make it to the freaking OU- Colorado game in Norman! Anyhow, I think if I’m doing all that (and then some- we didn’t even talk about the NFL stuff!), he can go to a freaking comedy club with me. I mean- who freaking doesn’t like to laugh!?!?! Everyone likes to laugh!

So, that’s my spill. We’re staying an extra day in Dallas too, so I’m going to see about doing something fun that day too. Sarah- I think running and sliding on your new wood floors would be fun that day!

All I know is that I’m homebound very soon. Everyone at work has made me feel EXTREMEMLY guilty for taking vacation and leaving them with my duties, but I’m at the point where I don’t care because I know a time will come when they will go and I will assume some of their duties- it’s all circular.

Okay, I realize this whole trip talk stuff was just mindless filler because I said I wouldn’t talk all dogs. So, sorry for the mindless filler. I’m secretly just using you to see what you think about the pups.
