1st Thing:
I know you all know Im crazy and like stuffed animals and toys, but I have some super cool animals right now. They are about 2 feet tall and have a metal frame so litle kids can ride them. Last year I got Mr. Elephant at Sams Club (I had seen him a few years back but wasnt able to buy him because he was gone, so last year I saw him and HAD to have him). So this year Sams Club now has a lion, triceratops, bear and horse. (I really wanted Mr. Giraffe but missed him too, darn it) Anyway, I just got the triceratops but really wanted to call her Cera (Sara) the triceratops, not Ms. Triceratops. So that meant I need to rename Mr. Elephant, plus I still want the lion and bear, so I decided on the following names. Cera the Triceratops, Lionel the Lion, Bob the Bear and Ernie the Elephant. How do those names sound???? Any additional suggestions I am willing to listen too.

2nd Thing:
We had some crazy weather yesterday in Austin. Its been kinda chilly recently (in the 40s and 50s, maybe a high in the 70s). Anyway, yesterday it was beautiful, I had a dr appt in the morning so I didnt go into work until like noon or so. That morning I didnt even need to take a jacket, by the time I got to work it was 82 degrees. So we were sitting in the office and it just kept getting colder and colder inside and we couldnt figure out why. We found out that it had dropped about 40 degrees in 5 hours. So we all ran out to our cars in short sleeves and getting pushed across the road by the heavy wind.
When I got home we just kept hearing the wind hitting the windows and swirling outside, and the temps just kept dropping. So I was upstairs in bed reading a book and it sounded like hail hitting the windows. I knew it was raining but I didnt hear thunder or see lightning so I really didnt think it would be hailing. So I got out of my warm bed only to discover it wasnt hail, it was sleet. Turns out it was actually hailing in bastrop (where I work) and later in the night we had thunder and lightning, but more sleet than anything. There was a cover on the ground, the deck and on the roofs of the houses (even the next morning) and on my car (which was no fun because we dont have any car scrapers anymore).


The bottom line, we had a record high and a record low for the day in austin yesterday. Gotta love crazy weather!!!
