Favorite Thing #25: Jackson Von Schnauzer

Jackson von Schnauzer, aka the Handsome Man, is probably my favorite thing in the entire world. Today is his 3rd birthday so I thought a blog to celebrate him would be in order. Instead of listing his many, many, many virtues - here is a photo tribute to the Handsome Man

The Handsome Man was handsome even on his first day in his new house

Jackson is a Momma's boy from Day 1

Aww - Someone shipped me a puppy

Even at 6 months old, Jackson carried himself like a prince

Kevin would not let Jackson be in our wedding (how rude!), but managed to sneak his way into our table numbers. Yes, I took 15 different pictures of him with 15 different numbers in them.

Bumblebee costumes are NOT dignified enough for the Handsome Man

Santa's Little HelperRun Jackson, Run!

I tell Kevin that Jackson is my main man and he gets mad, but its true!

Favorite THing #24: Michael Bublé

Since I have yet to write a blog about one of my all time, favorite favorite favorite things Michael Bublé, I thought it would be a good idea to wrie one in honor of the glorious Michael Bublé concert that Amy and I attended last night.

Mini Deal and I first became aware of him 5 years ago when I went and bought the Down with Love soundtrack (really, I just wanted the Ewan McGregor song on it, but at that time iTunes wasn't as prevalent). Both Mini and I immediatly fell in love with two songs on the cd by an artist by the name of Michael Bublé, which we thought was a gloriously funny name. As fate would have it, he was playing a concert at Foxwoods later that week, which Mini and I decided to go to since we love concerts. That is where our love affair started. 5 concerts later and its still going strong.

The thing about MB, or the Boob as Mini calls him, is that he isn't just a great musician, but he's a great performer too. His concerts are always different and always great. The man is hilarious-from his ragging of guys in the audience whose wives dragged them there, to throwing in really random funny songs, like Elvis or YMCA. He's an old school performer and that is something I greatly admire. He doesn't just show up, sing some songs and go home - he puts on a great show.

I was glad to share my love of the Boob with Amy last night, and hope more and more people will love him as much as me. But seriously people, stop buying up all his concert tickets so I can't sit in the front!
