Legally Blonde's Proceedings

Last night was the official start to one of my favorite seasons... Awards Season!  This year I am so very behind.  I have seen almost zero new movies this year, so I have got some real work to do to gear up for the rest of the season.  It's coming fast and furious... Oscar nominations are this Thursday and the SAG Awards are Saturday. As for last night's awards, here are some thoughts: TV:  I may behind on the movie front, but I'm up to date on the TV side of things.  I think the comedy awards to Brooklyn Nine-Nine were a huge surprise.  It wasn't really much of a surprise with the drama awards as the HFP clearly wanted to give Breaking Bad one last hoorah.  The miniseries or a motion picture made for television category was a hard one for me to pick a favorite as I liked "Behind the Candelabra" and "Dancing on the Edge."

The pups just get so into the presents.  They love opening stockings the best, and of course they have their own with their names monogrammed on them. This wasn't even Lola's loot, but she was very interested. Lola got some new bones... a new alligator...  and a beautiful sparkly pink collar She was very excited about this new toy Milly was excited by this squirrel toy too Getting all of these gifts is apparently very tiring!
