The Great Outdoors.....

I was outside with the dogs this afternoon and came up on the back deck and saw this little guy in our backyard. I ran inside to get the camera and captured this picture just before he (or she) took off into the corn field behind our house. We've suspected that there is a den of red fox behind the house, and this pretty much confirms it! The picture is a little blurry and far away, but it's a red fox...I promise!

Thursday Thirteen (I'm to lazy to enter a logo code today)

Thirteen things I want:

1. The next three weeks to go fast so that I'm done at the office and can focus on school.
2. My chemistry prof. to get the syllabus corrected so I can get the lab schedule in my planner.
3. The temperature to go down about 10 degrees.
4. The dogs to stop barking.
5. Boss to stop making me feel bad when he tell people that I'm leaving.
6. A smarter president.

OK, now these are purely fantasy....but maybe when I'm done with school?!?!
7. An unlimited handbag budget (I have a slight obsession...)
8. A week away with hubby (and maybe the dogs) in the mountains near a lake.
9. My Mazda3 back (I had to go practical...couldn't get the Mazda out of the driveway in the winter!)
10. To go to Times Square for New Years.
11. To go to New Orleans for Mardis Gras.
12. To go on an extended vacation to Europe so hubby can show me Spain and we can explore Italy together.
13. A pool. Not really, but today one would be really nice!
