i should be packing…

… or cleaning, or looking for my UK mobile phone to take with me, or doing laundry, or something productive.

But I’m too excited to leave and so I do nothing. There are only 2 little links left on my paper chain. Yippee! Oh… a side note about the paper chain (which is just silly but fun)… I put it up at work and there have been a couple days where I’ve taken off more than one chain but I just figured I’d forgotten a day (highly unlikely!) but I was just excited to take off more. Well it turns out I’ve been sabotaged! A few of my coworkers (yes, more than one) have been sneaking in and ADDING LINKS! haha They were a little disappointed I didn’t notice! What little sneaks I work with.

Now I can’t remember what I was originally going to post.

Oh well… Happy Friday!

oh my gosh… so cute!

The world’s only pink Bottlenose dolphin which was discovered in an inland lake in Louisiana, USA, has become such an attraction that conservationists have warned tourists to leave it alone.


Charter boat captain Erik Rue, 42, photographed the animal, which is actually an albino, when he began studying it after the mammal first surfaced in Lake Calcasieu, an inland saltwater estuary, north of the Gulf of Mexico in southwestern USA.
Capt Rue originally saw the dolphin, which also has reddish eyes, swimming with a pod of four other dolphins, with one appearing to be its mother which never left its side.
He said: “I just happened to see a little pod of dolphins, and I noticed one that was a little lighter.
“It was absolutely stunningly pink. I had never seen anything like it. It’s the same color throughout the whole body and it looks like it just came out of a paint booth. The dolphin appears to be healthy and normal other than its coloration, which is quite beautiful and stunningly pink. The mammal is entirely pink from tip to tail and has reddish eyes indicating it’s albinism. The skin appears smooth, glossy pink and without flaws.

happy birthday billie dear!

“Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.”

If you know me then you know that I’m a sucker for all things sentimental… So here is a little tribute to one of my favorite friends on her birthday:

Billie is funny… she always makes me laugh. And she always laughs at my jokes and makes me feel like I’m really witty. She’s also a really good doodler. This makes me jealous. My doodles look like scribbles but hers look like art. She always makes me feel good about myself. She served Laffy Taffy at her wedding. She let me crash on her couch for a month before I moved to England. She (and Brian) are the funnest people to watch TV with. (thanks for not getting sick of me spending so much time on your futon!) Whenever I hang out with Billie I feel like I’m my best version of me. You know what I mean… I hope. She’s one of the kindest people I know and has such a good heart. I don’t know if she knows this but the day after she got married I cried and cried because I realized I was going to miss having such a great friend as a roommate and I was afraid we wouldn’t stay friends after she got married. Thank goodness I was wrong!!
