Owling Around

So I am still trying to be committed to this blog thing, so far one entry a month is pitiful, I apologize.
Here are some updates from the past month.

Bought a new lunch box for work! It's from Target if interested.

Went to the mall a few times, did more browsing than buying. Here are a few things I found. 

We had an event at work where the Lowry Zoo came and brought some animals. Of course they brought...

And I ordered some new Thank you cards from Papyrus. 

My Birthday was a Hoot

Two weekends ago I celebrated my 27th birthday. Normally I would create my own facebook event and invite all my friends and even bar friends together for dinner and drinks. Last year it was Bella's, the year before it was Cork (now Yard of Ale), the year before that (both 24 and 23) was at Dragonfly in Gainesville. Every birthday has been wonderful... This year was even better, although I decided to take a different approach. This year, I realized that the only people I wanted to spend my birthday with was my family. Might seem lame and boring to some, but the last few months have been challenging in both my professional and personal life. Plus, I never thought I would get tired of going out. These days, I'm in a cab on my way home by midnight!

So when my parents came to visit, it was nice and relaxing. My sister-in-law baked a cake and we let my nephew (3yrs old) decorate. It was the best! Home cooked meals and retail therapy; what more could a girl ask for? I am truly blessed with a great family, and I am so luck to have my brother and his family just a few miles away.

So what does this weeks blog have to do with owls? My mother bought me 2 ceramic owl bookends as a birthday present. They are adorable, but I am not sure what to do with them right now, seeing that I don't have a bookshelf for them to go on.

I'm an Owl Freak

So call me crazy, but I love owls. In the past few years, I feel that the rest of the world has also jumped on the owl band wagon, or maybe I just notice them everywhere I go. It's like I have owldar, if there was such a thing.

Everyone who knows me will tell you that I am obsessed, but not in a creepy owl lady way, it's just my thing. I think its normal to have a hobby or a collection, so I justify it to myself that way.

So this is my first time writing one of these blog things, and no, it won't always be about owls and owl crap that I find. There will be other topics such as my travels, family, friends and work. I would bore myself if all I talked about was owls, and you readers would think I have issues, unless of course you are an owl fan.

So enjoy reading, if not... Hoot Off
