1. My iPod headphones. I'm not happy about this. They were the ones that have the microphone so I used them all the time when I talked on the phone (especially in the car).
2. Brett's cord for his insulin pump. Completely chewed that in half. Not a good thing.
3. Brett's iPod headphones.
4. See #2 again.
Ahhhhhhh. Apparently you can buy this stuff to spray on the cords and they won't chew them...but I don't know if I want to go around with cords that smell like bitter apple? Plus, who knows if it will actually work. She'll probably like it or something!

Wow. It's been awhile. I'm not even sure where to start! I think I'll just open my google calendar and go from there...
According to my calendar...since the last time I posted:
I went to a friend's baby shower
Got my cat spayed/de-clawed
Picked up my bridesmaid's dress for Natalie's wedding
Went to the roller derby
Watched the superbowl
Saw Tokyo Police Club in concert
Went skiing in Indiana
Went to the Pacer's vs. Miami Heat game in Indianapolis
Took my niece ice skating/had a sleepover with her at our apartment
Watched that Amanda Knox movie
I think that's about it for the past month and a half or so. :)
The baby shower:
I am just not a baby person. I guess it's because I've never really been around kids, but I have to say....all that baby stuff she got was so cute! It will still be many years (I hope) before I'm getting cute baby stuff of my own...
The cat:
I loved my cat from the first day we got her -- but I love her even more now that she doesn't drive me crazy and scratch up our furniture and my legs. We weren't going to get her declawed because the more I read about it, the less humane it seemed. But the scratching wouldn't stop and I decided that she actually liked getting sprayed with water every time she scratched...therefore, she scratched more. I think we're all much happier now!
Bridesmaid Dress:
After so much wedding craziness last summer, it's nice to only have one wedding to think about this summer (not that I didn't LOVE all the weddings last summer!). I love my bridesmaids dress...it's dark purple and halter style. Perfect for a summer wedding in a vineyard :)
Roller Derby:
This was my second roller derby. The first one I went to we won by over 200 points so it wasn't a very exciting game. This one though, we were behind for most of the game but made up 40 points in about 5 minutes and actually made it a game...and we won by 1 point at the very end!
Superbowl:
I was rooting for the Steelers. :(
Tokyo Police Club:
Great concert! The doors opened at 8 but the concert didn't 'start' until 9...or rather, the two opening bands didn't start until 9. Unfortunately, Tokyo Police Club started playing at 11pm...on a work night. :( It was a long night, but it had been awhile since I had been to a concert so I was glad we got to go. :)
Skiing:
This was awesome. I loved that it was only an hour away from Louisville. We started the day off on an interesting note considering as we were about to leave our apartment we discovered a bat in our hallway...decided not to try to walk down the hallway until that issue was taken care of! So we ended up skiing from about 5pm until 11pm. I loved skiing at night! We're definitely thinking about buying season passes for next year.
Pacer's game:
This was another late night during the work week...but totally worth it. We left Louisville at 5 and got to the game right when it started at 7pm. Sadly, the Pacer's lost but they played a pretty good game (up until the end that is).
Ice Skating with Maci:
Brett and I weren't sure how this would go...this was Maci's first time on the ice. :) The video below pretty much sums it up.
Amanda Knox movie:
This really was not anything very eventful...but I just watched it last night so it's fresh on my mind. Did anyone else watch this? I really don't know what to think about it. I remember back when all the trials were going on and all the evidence was being talked about I kept changing my mind as to whenther she was guilty or innocent. I kind of did the same thing during the movie. Today, I've read a lot about everything that happened and I'm leaving more towards the fact that she is guilty. But who knows!
