Puppy!

I am a huge dog lover! More specifically, I love puppies. I currently have a dog named Levi. He is honestly the best dog an owner could ask for. He is potty trained, hardly ever barks, and he loves to cuddle. We got him about 3 years ago as a Christmas present. My family and I have had so much fun playing with Levi that we recently decided to get another dog. My dad always said that one dog was more than enough but for some reason he gave in and said we could get a puppy.
we got Levi from. It must have been fate because they said that Levi's parents just had a litter of puppies. This means that we could get a dog that is Levi's biological brother or sister. As a family, we decided getting a boy puppy so Levi could have a little brother to play with. Then we had to decide on a name. We googled dog names and narrowed it down to our favorites. We wanted something original and not a name like Buddy. We ended up with the name Cash which we changed to Kash. My 20 year old brother thought that was an awesome name and decided the middle name should be money. So our new puppy's name is Kash Money Maroo.
Kash is about 7 weeks old now and is almost ready to leave his mom. We have been receiving emails from his current owner with updates and pictures of him since he was about one week old. This Friday we are going to pick up Kash and bring him home. I am super excited to have a new puppy around the house and for Levi to have a real brother.

Winter? No thanks.

Today is January 23rd and we are pretty much in the dead of winter, and I hate it. On Friday we experienced the coldest temperatures of the season so far. Winter is just a horrible season, and it's so long! I feel like summer lasts about three months and winter lasts about six months. There are so many reasons why I hate winter and I bet you would agree with me on a few of them. I completely hate having to warm up my car every morning before I go to school. This is the first year that I drive myself to school and of course my car isn't good enough to get a garage stall over my parents' cars so Tina the Taurus is stuck outside all night long. Then every morning I have to run out to Tina in the freezing cold to start her. And it's such a waste of gas! I also hate driving on icy or snowy roads. I've had my license for about seven months but Tina doesn't have four wheel drive and it's scary to drive on winter roads. Another reason why I hate winter is that you have to get all bundled up before stepping a foot outside. I hate having to put on my gloves, hat, and coat before going outside. I just want to wear jeans and a t-shirt! Also, I don't like that you can't do anything outside. You can't play sports or just hangout. In the winter your options for hangout spots with friends are: a movie, chill at home, bowling, or the YMCA. Let's face it, movies are expensive, chilling at home is boring, bowling is not fun unless you're an allstar bowler, and the YMCA is flooded with little kids. The worst thing about winter is when there's a blizzard going on outside and school is still in session. I'm going to share a little story that happened to me on Friday morning as I was walking into school when it was literally freezing out. First of all we should have been delayed that day because of the low temperatures and high windshield. Second of all I didn't have time for breakfast because I thought there'd be a delay so I slept in. So, on my way into the school I was eating a froot by the foot and it literally froze. I was outside for 60 seconds and it froze in my hand! You could break it off into pieces. Freezing temperatures are horrible, driving in the winter is horrible, and well winter itself is just horrible. And that's what I have to say about winter.

Snowmobiling

So I went snowmobiling for the first time yesterday. Then today, I went again for about 2 hours. And honestly, it's one of the scariest things I have ever done. The whole experience is just pretty terrifying. I thought it would be a lot of fun, but it went way faster than I had expected. I obviously wasn't driving the thing because that's an even scarier thought. I just rode on the back and screamed my lungs out. My boyfriend was driving the snowmobile and well, he's not the brightest bulb in the box, which made me even more nervous. He thought it would be fun to go really fast right away. He also thought it would be fun to go really fast over bumps and hills. Yeah, it was NOT fun! These are the words coming out of my mouth as I'm riding on the back of a snowmobile for the first time: "Ahhhhhh! I'm gonna die tonight! I hate you so much right now! Slow down, Please slow down! Yup, I'm definitely going to die!" I'm screaming these things constantly and just wondering why he's not doing anything about it. So, I'm pretty much just getting pissed off. To top it all off, it was a little cold outside. And by a little, I mean a lot. Both my feet were numb, but I was having a good time snowmobiling, right? Yeah. Finally, when we get back home and take off our helmets, he says, "Did you have fun?!" I just looked at him nonchalantly and said, "Oh you didn't hear me talking to you while we were riding?" He said, "Nope, I couldn't hear a thing with my helmet on. You loved it didn't you?" Yes I loved it. That was sarcasm. Snowmobiling is scary and I will always be scared to go riding, and yet I still plan on doing it because I have hope that someday I will think it's fun.
