5 Things: Colder Weather

It's only lunchtime and I already have a full list :) Maybe if you're lucky, you'll get two today. Or probably not.

1. My friend Thad has a surgery date! December 23rd. Shake & bake. Beat it, cancer.
2. Kellie Pickler makes me want to stick a pencil in my eye.
3. I watched a really cool documentary last night on an ex-Amish community and learned a lot. It was really, really good.
4. Do you ever hear a song that hits you like a bat to the chest? Something you want to take and own all for yourself and keep it secret from the rest of the world, so it can be just yours? But then part of you wants to share it so others can have a chance at feeling that same thing? Zac Brown Band & AMOS LEE (!!!) singing "Colder Weather" at the CMT Artists of the Year Awards. Watch.
5. The commercials for ASPCA about abused & abandoned animals break me to my absolute core. I want to take every single kitteh & doggie off the screen and into my arms and home.
6. (Bonus:) There's a dead mouse/chipmunk/something in a wall in my house and it doesn't smell pleasant. I don't really feel the same about it as I do the kittehs & doggies on tv...but I would really prefer it go die somewhere else.
Ok, that sounds mean. I wish it hadn't died. Better?
