One of my favorite movies is Selena, and I cannot explain why. I had no clue who she was before the Jennifer Lopez movie and had never heard any of her music but now I can sing Bidi Bidi Boom Boom!

If I’m casually flipping through the channels and it’s playing on Lifetime I absolutely cannot pass up Jennifer Lopez as Selena. I’m hoping that one of the cable channels will be airing the movie tonight in memory of Selena, who was shot and killed 13 years ago today.

I’m a complete clothes horse. I have a walk-in closet full of dress, skirts, blouses, and sweaters, and I’m constantly shopping for more. There’s always a special event, work meeting, or change of season that requires new junior clothing!

The weather is getting warmer in Chicago and I need to anticipate the season with some new dresses and skirts, my sprint-time wardrobe staples. Everything at Heavenly Couture is $17.95 or less, so I can afford to buy an entire season’s worth of new spring clothes without thinking twice.

The yellow floral lady skirt, scoop neck waist tie green dress, and brown military jumper ar eall perfect spring and summer wardrobe additions, and all under $18!

Precious little Oliver nipped at the neighbor last night…and drew blood. That’s right, the old Polish lady next door bent down to pet him, he started barking like a mad man, and he nipped her knuckle. No worries, she had an alcohol pad handy in her pleather purse and isn’t going to sue us.

I’ve already emailed three local dog training facilities and Oliver’s life will be getting a lot more disciplined very soon.

I know that my Self Portrait Sunday contribution isn’t as impressive as an elephant’s self portrait, but did that elephant win $90 at the horse track last night? I don’t think so!

I learned how to place exacta, trifecta, and superfecta bets last night, and at this rate, I’ll have enough winnings for a peaceful weekend in Branson hotels pretty soon! There has to be a horse track in Branson, right?

I’m a big softie when it comes to animals, and I think that elephant is the most precious thing ever, and if I could find one of her paintings for sale, I’d probably buy it. I think it would be the most amazing thing to take a seat on the patio furniture and watch an elephant paint you a picture, especially when the elephant can paint better than I can!
