pay it forward and my lie



Time to come clean about my two truths and a lie.  Any last minute guesses?  
Here they are again:
1.  I attended 3 different Colleges/Universities
2.  I have never been to Disneyland
3.  I had a pet duck in college named Oliver

The lie: #2.  I HAVE been to Disneyland {3 times actually} and I can't wait to take Jay when he gets a little older!

Which means that in college I did fact have a pet duck named Oliver.  He was the sweetest little guy in the whole world.  He would follow me and my roommate around our apartment and his little webbed feet made the cutest noise on the tile floor in our kitchen.  He loved to sit on my lap when I watched tv and yes, he was potty trained.  Oliver's all time favorite thing was swimming in our bathtub.  
He was a good duck.

A few weeks back I came across Kristen's post about the "Pass it Forward" project, thankfully I commented quickly and was able to participate.  I love the idea of one person doing something nice for someone else for no reason other than to make that person's day a little brighter!  Last week my package came in the mail and it totally made my day.  I love finding more than just bills in the mailbox!  
Here's what was in my package from Kristen:
A super cute daily desk calendar with pictures of tired poochies on each page!  Hopefully, it will curb my puppy cravings until we get one of our own.
Today's picture:

The best part of the challenge is that I now get to pass it forward to 3 of you!  
Here are the rules:
1.  The first THREE commentators on this post will be my three "Pay it Forward" recipients.
2.  I will contact the THREE commentators to get their home address and then ship out a fun little gift.
3.  You must be willing to host a "Pay it Forward" on your own blog for THREE blog commentators.

Please make sure to leave your e-mail address so that I can contact you for your mailing address!

HAPPY HUMPDAY!

I feel just like Haley Joel Osment ;)

Grammys 2011

Time out.  There's more to the grammy's than the red carpet?!  I'll be honest... this year I only watched the red carpet coverage and the first couple minutes of the actual show.
Here are my top 2 picks for best dressed:
 Selena Gomez
Julianna Hough

...and some of my picks for worst dressed:
 mia
 Rihanna
Nicki Minaj

Honorable mention:
the always fabulous Giuliana Rancic 
Eva Longoria
Katy Perry

How amaze does Jennifer Hudson look these days?!
 I thought her body looked great, but didn't like the little peek-a-boob black bra thing going on under her dress.
talk about a total transformation!
I loved when she told Ryan Seacrest, "I can't even sleep at night because I can't wait to see what I'm going to wear the next day."


...and I'm not even gonna go there with Lady Gaga incubating in the egg/womb.  Don't get me wrong, I love me some Gaga but what.is.next?!  At least she's entertaining!!


What are your best/worst dressed Grammy picks?
