boz

boz (whose real name is bosco) is my favorite dog possibly ever. he is the greatest. he is al's best friend and college roomate shane's dog. i have gotten to dog sit him on many occasions and love him to death! he's so easy going, listens well, loves to play and also loves to snuggle and cuddle. his favorite place is under the covers. he's such a lover and knows many adorable tricks. i snapped a few pics of him while we were at shane and jodi's house for the vikings nfc championship game. he's my baby!!i adore when his ears stick up!!

and he has a giant underbite; it's so cute!!

he is a rat terrier but no one's sure if he's pure bred or a mix.

such a cuddle bug!!

beauties

i love horses! they are one of my favorite animals and they are just gorgeous!! i want one so bad. and i wanna go horseback riding all the time!! here are a few pics (via weheartit.com). they are also very very photogenic!!!

i especially love really big horses!! like clydesdales!!

maybe one day i'll have a horse all of my own!!!..

places i would like to be right now...

after a cold day and a forcast for freezing rain, sleet and then snow for the next few days, i like to think about places that would nice to be at instead...

this bed with this view and a good book or movie would be excellent!!

i love to play on playgrounds. yes i realize i am a bit old for this but i can't help it. i enjoy it immensely! especially if i see a really big, great park; i just can't pass it up!

what a great get-away cottage!
a beach with a sky like this? yes please

i would love a stroll on a beautiful path like this right about now

bike to a swing in the middle of no where with a good book, uh huh!!

this bridge just looks fabulous!!

**snowboarding**

i finally got out snowboarding for my first time this season. i normally only go once or twice a season so my saying "first time" can also mean my last time but you never know. i enjoy snowboarding so much especially when i get to go with a friend who is on my same skill level. this time i went with caitlin, who i had never gone with before, but we had a blast. she's so easy to get along with and is a bit better then me so she pushes me. it was pretty nice out, a little colder then i expected, but it was not very busy.

we went to afton and hit a bunch of runs that i usually don't hit for fear of getting lost so it was great!!! the snow was decent and not too much fake snow which i find hard to carve in, so i was impressed. also, both caitlin and i had issues in the past with getting off chairlifts so we were worried. but we did great; didn't fall once or knock anyone else down. so all in all it was a successful day. i should have brought my little point and shoot camera with but didn't know if i'd fall on it and break it. i've been wanting to try and take pictures while snowboarding of someone else so i should have done that.

but i did end up taking some pics of my snowboard, which i LOVE, and of myself in my goggles, which i also like. (i think my enjoyment of wearing goggles is partly contributed to seth green's character in the movie "can't hardly wait" :})

here's my beautiful board!!

burton + hot pink + a star = meant for me!!!

if anyone knows about snowboard brands or cares, my board is a demo burton seven and my bindings are burton customs. :]

i am hoping to get out snowboarding again in february with my usualy partner, brittany!! and maybe i'll chance it taking my digi camera out there!!

food is fabulous

i love food! :) it's so yummy and can even look tantalizing... so in honor of that (and my 3rd successful week of effectively counting calories online via my fitness pal) here are some photos i found on weheartit.com of food!

mmmm... i love a fantastic cheesburger!!

milk and cookies is the bomb diggity! :]
milk out of a cute bottle and a good book, yes please!

i love star wars, especially yoda!! too cute!!

and i love little candy treats!! and valentine's day is on it's way!!

my minnesota vikings!!

despite the thoughts of many critics and even of some fans, the vikings pulled off an amazing win today over the cowboys. with the game being such a blow out it gives us a bit higher hopes going into the game versus the saints. but it's hard to be too positive with the way the saints have played this year. i will definitely be wishin and hopin this week that we can stay on fire and pull out a win and then head to the super bowl... yikes.. knowing this vikings team it's hard to even talk that far ahead but we looked good today so... maybe...??and of course my jared allen played amazingly!! loves him!! :]

keep it up guys, i will continue to cheer you on even if you never win a super bowl but i sure would love to see one....

winter wonderland

early this week the foggy, frosty air overnight engulfed the trees a bit and froze. it was so beautiful i had to snap a few pics. although they are just with my little digital camera and not one of gina's fabulous ones, i still think they're gorgeous! i love the white against the bright blue sky!!
