First try at my new curling wand! Not too shabby for a rushed on-my-way-to-work job, if I do say so myself 🙂 Can’t wait to experiment with it!

(And just ignore the awkward twisty-pose that makes me look bloated.)

“Lilly loved all animals but these were her favorite.”

A fellow cat lady who loves pretty colors, parties, and dresses – Lilly and I are total soul sistas!

Saturday night’s Azalea Festival Patrons’ Gala in downtown Wilmington.

It was fun to dress up and go out. Of course, I wish Chuckles had been on my arm (not that these fine ladies – and gentleman – weren’t amazing dates, of course!) Good times 🙂

You all know I’m a cat person, but Dakota is my kind of pooch. Clean and relatively calm. Doesn’t slobber. Lets me wrap my arms around her and pose for pics (even though the second one is a bit of a fail.)

Isn’t she cute?? She’s a beagle-pit mix!!
