Have You Heard of Fire Foxes?
I made a wonderful little discovery last week. I use Firefox when surfing the web (: and last week their homepage featured this website.
firefoxlive.org
I'm not really sure why they are doing it, but for the next several months you can go to the website and watch a live webcast of these 2 precious Red Pandas AKA "Firefoxes" at the Knoxville Zoo! They are ADORABLE! I believe you can also donate to the zoo on the website if you feel led.
But several times last week i found myself watching Spark and Ember (sisters) play in their little habitat. They are SO cute! I will probably watch them for hours over the next several months.

the last 2 images are taken with night vision. i love them.

Check My Playlist
So i'm at work on this "Blustery Day" (Winnie the Pooh reference, anyone?) with my corn bag warmed up to stay warm because for some reason the people in my office think it is necessary to run the AC in the middle of the Winter...oh well. Listening to music while working. Here is my Monday playlist (definitely helps the time pass)...

Christmas Decor
I decided right around Christmastime that I wanted to start collecting a Department 56 Village. My Mom has collected Dickens' Village and Snow Village for years and I would like to get a collection going for myself (:
Mom's Snow Village 2009
So today I bought 2 pieces on eBay!! I LOVE eBay!!
"Haberdashery"
-Christmas in the City
"Starbucks Coffee"
-Snow Village
(I know this one is not "Christmas in the City" but I just couldn't resist! I love Starbucks so much so it will just have to work!)

Bacon Jam???
one day last year (: i was looking at Kirsten Blower's blog and she had a post about Bacon Jam. I thought it was a weird concept, but i find myself now wishing i had indulged a little for Christmas. so i may be discovering a new love or just trying a very strange new condiment soonish. either way, i will be sharing my thoughts at a later date!

Picture Memories
WOW! It has been a LONG time since I have posted anything. My blog is definitely not feeling the love and for that I am truly sorry. All sorts of things going on since our last visit. Some highlights…
March 2010:
Dad’s/Brandon’s birthday – 03.08
Mom’s birthday – 03.09
Joe’s birthday (little brother) – 03.17 GOLDEN BIRTHDAY!! 17 on the 17th
my birthday! – 03.24 GOLDEN BIRTHDAY!! 24 on the 24th
For Brandon and Mom’s birthday, we went to Dallas to see John Mayer!! It was very fun!! Both of their first time and my 5th…I’m a little obsessed!!!
I also began my first job in my current career path! I started working for Scott&Goble Architects on March 15th. I work on the Walmart Remodel Team currently doing lots of fun Walmart-y things (:

July 2010:
My family heads west for a little vacation. We went to Colorado, both Crested Butte and Telluride, and it was FANTASTIC!! So beautiful! Beautiful mountains, quaint little towns. I would highly recommend planning your next vacation in Telluride, CO (if you are the mountain/nature loving type). Telluride is truly one of a kind. It is an old mining town at the base of the mountains. We stayed at a resort up in the mountains and rode the public gondola down into town every day. That was part of what made it so fantastic. it is a self contained little community. We parked our car at the beginning of the week and didn’t use it again until we pulled out of town. The FREE public gondola takes you right into the center of town and everything is within walking distance. And there’s plenty to do…hiking, mountain bike trails, quaint little shops and restaurants everywhere. Another trip to Telluride, CO is hopefully in my near future!!
One of my oldest friends, Justin Gambill marries Trista Martinez in Harrison, AR. Brando joins me and the fam (:
August 2010:
My dear friend Sarah Davis marries Lance Miller in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Brando joins me (:
Beginning of August, I also moved into my first place since graduating college! I have an apartment yay!! And I have an apartment kitty yay! And I ordered a couch that I am expecting mid November!! Can’t WAIT to get my place decorated!!
October 2010:
Decorated my porch for Harvest/Halloween! LOVING this first place stuff!

And last weekend, my family went to Jonesboro for my Grandfather’s 81st birthday. We took my sister’s boyfriend, Badr, with us and he got to meet a lot of the crazy Jonesboro family. It was a lot of fun!
