So I was tagged by Kellianne...

....to say ten things about myself? So here it goes:

1. Now that I am starting to show I am really starting to feel closer to the little guy/girl in my tummy. I cannot wait to start feeling it move!

2. I still wish me and Bryan were moving to Colorado like we were trying to plan.

3. Damn - ice cream is the shiznit when you are pregnant.

4. And I want sweet tea SO f-ing bad all the time but really try to limit myself to a glass every couple of days. I would drink a whole gallon of Chick-Fil-A sweet tea if possible.

5. My other craving right now is peanut butter and raspberry jelly sandwiches with a big glass of milk.

6. I had a dream last night that I drank a whole stout margarita while I was pregnant and then starting having a miscarriage. Isn't that the shittiest dream you have ever heard? Oh yeah and since I have been pregnant - my dreams have been so vivid and WEIRD! I mean WEEEIIIRRD.

7. I want Taco Bell right now. I mean were all these questions supposed to be pregnancy/food related? Don't worry ladies I don't act on my hunger impulses all the time. But sharing them helps me overcome the temptation. Like last night I wanted oreos and milk so bad and so did Bryan which made it worse - but we never acted upon it and went to the store and bought them which is good. And on the way home from work today I wanted Jack in the Box but knew PB & J would be better so I simply DROVE by Jack in the Box (which is past my house) and dreamed of having a sourdough jack. But never actually got one. Is that weird?

8. I am starting to get really weird about the house - like today I just threw the dog bed out (and Bryan is going to be pissed), but I just felt like it was making the house "feel" dirty. What does that even mean? Do now Mally is sleeping on a fleece blanket.

9. I am back on a reading kick again and read two books in three days. AND I LOVE IT! Expect the book club blog to have some major entries lately.

10. I miss my friends so much and sometimes think about how many times I actually laughed till I cried when they all came for Kellianne's wedding. I miss them so much! Everything is always back to normal no matter how long it is since we saw each other. I love that. JD please tell Mitch to just get a job in H-town already!!!

Sunny the Three-Legged Dog

In case you haven't heard - we have a new addition to the McDonald clan. Meet Sunny the three-legged boxer/beagle mix. She was born with a deformed back leg (which apparently is pretty common in litters) and recently had it amputated at her knee joint so she would not drag it around anymore. Yes, we have three dogs now - but Sunny is such a joy. She listens very well, does not shed at all (which is weird) and loves to cuddle. We love her so much! We found her at an rescue organization called Scout's Honor here in Houston. We were originally looking at bulldogs but they are so dang expensive. So we decided maybe we could spend a lot less money and help a dog find a home who really needs help. So, I started looking at petfinder.com and found her pretty little face under the "Special Needs" pets. Her and Layla and Mally are best buds now. Actually, Layla and Sunny gang up on Mally and it is hilarious. Sunny has such long legs and Mally's are so short that Sunny just holds Mally at a distance while Mally tries to get her. It is like watching a giant and a midget fight.

P.S. - 5 1/2 weeks until I found out if its a boy or girl!!!
