I'll tell you what I want what I really, REALLY want

Well, I want a crap-load of things. 

Hey, no judging, 99.99% of them I can't buy.  [Oh man, how I wish I could.] 

But for this weekend, I want this:  a smiling/happy/carefree Peanut, awesome fireworks, my family & friends to know they are my back bone & my 3:23 marathon.

Hope you all have a fun and SAFE 4th of July.

AND

Thanks to Grace for the

The first official "award" given to me on this little blog of mine.

As requested a few things about me [which may be regretted later]:

*I am the only girl in my family [of 4 girls] who is lucky blessed enough to have an older brother.
*I am big on manners.  BIG.
*My love for animals could use some serious [I'm not mean though] improvement.
*I have 14 credits left to get my degree.  The same 14 credits I've had to get for the last 12 years.
*My radio in my car has not been turned on for 8 days [and I just noticed it yesterday].  I am loving it.
*I bake my "magical chocolate" cake approximately 2 times per week.  "people" please ask me to bake something else, I swear I can.
