fill in the blank friday

happy friday! i am exhausted today and ready to hop right back in bed. it doesn't help that it's really dreary outside - that always makes me sleepy. we have a big day tomorrow, so we're going to stay in and watch a movie tonight. i am pretty excited. if i could just get through the next 4 hours....

anywhoo, here are today's blanks...

1.  my first memory is   when we got our first family dog for christmas. when my brother burton and i were finished opening presents on christmas day, santa (my dad's friend) called us to say we had one more present upstairs in our closet. and there was a precious little white ball of fluff we named rudy. sadly, we had to give rudy back to santa after a couple weeks because rudy was not a good dog hahaha. but that's a story for another day!

2.  my first love was  our dog sam. i am a huge animal lover and once the fam recovered from the above event, we decided to give it a second try! we got sam when i was 6-7 years old, and he was the best. he passed away when i was a sophomore in college - in my mom's arms wrapped in my blanket. still brings tears to my eyes thinking about that :(

3.  my very first favorite color was  green. i went through a [short] phase when i was little where i wouldn't eat anything unless it was green. my mom had to food color my milk hahaha.

4. the first time i really felt like a "grown-up" was when    i moved to dallas after college and was officially "on my own" with a real job and a real salary and a "big girl apartment." though - i still don't really feel like an adult...

5. the first thing i do when i wake up in the morning is  take old bailey boy out and feed him - then hop in the shower with my hubs!

6. the first CD (cassette tape, record, etc...) i ever bought was  well, i used to have a record player back in the day and would rock out to "what's new pussycat" by tom jones and "crocodile rock" by elton john hahaha. my first cassette was selena - dreaming of you (the single), and my first cd was jock jams. yep. you heard that right. very eclectic, huh?

7.  my first car was a silver honda passport that all of my friends called the "poonport." the horn was hysterical - the wimpiest beep beep you can ever imagine! hence the name...poonport haha.

hope y'all have a great weekend! crossing my fingers that it doesn't rain all weekend in dallas. that will most certainly put a damper in our plans...
