Bella's favorite toy...

Bella likes stinky things.... after all, she is a beagle. 

Jesse may kill me for posting this, but these are Jesse's underwear. Bella steals them from his hamper and trots around the house with them. It is quite hilarious :o)

Finally, she gets tired and lays down with them. Sometimes she'll even put them in her bed with her. Don't judge her... she just loves her Daddy!

In different news,

Look at this handsome cat... he loves laying in front of the heating vent.

no pictures of Jaco this morning... he woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Today, the sun is shining brightly outside with snow covering everything. I'm having a hard time motivating myself to get some studying done... all I really want to do is lay down and sleep the entire day. Last night I went to bed around 11 planning to stay there for a l-o-n-g time ... for the first time in two weeks, I was able to sleep past 5:30 am. It felt better than wonderful to sleep until 10! I can't even explain how wonderful. 

Jesse is away this weekend performing in Dayton with the Wright Patt Band... he'll be home Sunday morning-ish. He'll turn around and leave again on Tuesday morning for more concerts. 

Next week will be nuts! NUTS! 

But I'm going to take it in stride.

I hope.

Actually... I have to, I have no other choice.

Love from Columbus, Ohio to wherever you are. I wish for you a pleasant day, warmth, and plenty of compassion.
