1. I love Nutella on warm croissants.

I've never tried this, but it sounds delicious. Ever tried Nutella crepes? Yum!

16. I love anything Boston Terrier and am currently looking for Boston Terrier baby bedding or nursery décor but cannot find any.

I also looked for some corgi decor- I really wanted a corgi wallpaper border, but I was also unsuccessful. Cafepress does have some cute onsies though!

26. I am having my first unhappy moment with Obama for screwing up HOUSE tonight.

He he, me too. But then when the conference ended (around 7 pm MT) they didn't show House anyway- it was two episodes of "24," which I don't watch. I was bummed! Sounds like all in all you had a very hard day. I hope today is better for you!

Hey Terry -------- where's round 4????

I'm getting tired just thinking about it.

[luckies4me]

A good way to pass the time while my son is napping...

1. My name is Cassandra, but when I was younger they called me Cassie. My brother thought it was halarious to call me Lassie, so he would whistle at me all the time. About 4 years ago, my mother sent me a beanie baby in the mail. Yep! It was a collie dog, and it's name was Cassie! Seriously?!!! LOL! Out of all the names they could have picked, haha. They now call me Cass.

2. I work at Banfield Pet Hospital in Eugene, Oregon. I have been there 4 years in May. I don't think I'll ever leave...

3. I've decided to name all my future pets Mobster names if they are male.

4. My dream bird is a white fronted Amazon. A parrot landed on my bf's windshield about 3 seconds after my birthday last Dec. I heard a noise and turned around, and was like, "OMG. It's a parrot!" haha. I grabbed it like the dork that I am. Could have gotten bit! How random is that. Bird lands on windshield just after birthday. Anyway, I had him for a few days until we located the owners. But during that short period of time I fell in love with him. I was really disappointed when I had to return him. Especially after seeing his small cage, and finding out the reason he got lost. They let him out on their outside porch, wings unclipped. Stupid people. I miss him.

5. My boyfriend has Leukemia. He is one of the strongest people I have ever met, and my best friend! I would be lost without him. He has one more round of Chemo and then he'll be done!

6. I have Lupus. I just found out so I am still learning about the disease. Today has been a good day. Pretty much pain free except a little aching in my hands.

7. I photograph for Suicide Girls.

8. I'm loving my new camera!

9. I'm finally getting my life back on track at age 29!

17. I'm hoping to move to New York in 3 years.

18. I could eat corned beef every day for the rest of my life and I wouldn't get sick of it.

19. I hate onions, bell peppers, and cilantro. Oh ya, and pineapple too. In fact, I don't really like any fruit. I'm more a vegetable girl.

20. I got "dressed" up for the first time in years last week. Meaning, I wore a nice shirt.

21. I am very picky, very blunt, and very stubborn.

22. I have a potty mouth, which isn't such a good thing with a toddler in the house. I really need to watch what I say.

Oooh, Thanks!

[wolflady]

I swear I just killed over an hour reading through all of these and found everyone very interesting. I even learned a few things I didn't know before!

Here are my 28 random things:

1. I like my job and my boss.

2. I never thought I would live in California and like wine as much as I do.

3. I have an obession with all things Irish/Celtic and have wanted to see Ireland since I was like 10 years old.

4. I love oriental cats and have 2! They are my dream pet and I'll never live in a house without an oriental.

5. I have met Heywood Banks 3 times (extra credit to those who know who Heywood Banks is!)

6. I joined the marching band in high school because a friend of mine told me they were going to Toronto my Senior year. I had a Clarinet, but didn't really know how to play. I joined anyway and even though I couldn't really read music (what are all those black dots?) I listened to everyone around me and learned the music that way - this even got me through 4 years of college bands!

7. I love wolves and did some volunteer work at Wolf Park when I was in college. I even got to hold a baby wolf. So cute! I really learned a lot about canine behavior working there.

8. I have been a member of an online forum (Pet Talk) since Jan 2001, and am still posting today! I have met so many people in this forum that are now friends in real-life.

12. I can't go to bed without washing my face and brushing my teeth - otherwise something just doesn't feel right

13. It takes forever for me to fall asleep, so I read every night. If I don't read, I will toss and turn and not sleep well. Even if I'm really tired, I still need to read at least a sentence or a page...basically until my eyes get heavy and I start to fall asleep.

14. I get "vibes" about people, places and things

15. I can't leave the house without making my bed - it feels too disorganized if the bed is left unmade. Similarly, clutter in the house stresses me out. I hate to clean, but usually feel much more calmn when things are newly fresh and clean and everything is in it's place.

16. My husband is a really good cook!

17. If I hit the lottery, I would buy a house on a beach or at least near the ocean. The ocean has a calming effect on me - the sound of waves is one of my favorite sounds. Better yet, a house on the coast of Ireland would be awesome!

18. My best friends are my husband and parents

19. I really admire my dad - he can do anything!

20. I tend to be a people-pleaser, even at the sacrifice of my own happiness sometimes.

23. I have a strange fascination with gnomes & fairies

24. I have been to India, which was amazing. I got to see where my husband was born and meet his whole family (30 members anyone??!!) which was very special. I can't wait to go back!

25. I'm very happy with where I am with my life. I have everything I've always wanted: my husband, my kitties, a job I like, a roof over our heads and food in our mouths and a supportive family on both sides. :-)

26. If I could play any instrument I wanted and be really good at it, I'd want it to be the Irish fiddle

27. I'm madly in love with my husband. I swear I feel my heart swell when he is nearby.

28. I have a fear of doctors and haven't been for a regular checkup since before my trip to India. I really know I should get regular checkups, I just have a phobia of doing so.
