Best Shot Monday

I'm not sure any of my pictures from the week leave me feeling like hope is restored. But this week for Best Shot Monday, I definitely have a shot that makes me giddy!

As of last night, we are the new proud owners of two female baby ball pythons! They are hatchlings, and therefore only about 18 inches long. In a few years, they'll grow up to be about 4 feet in length. We've decided to name them Amari and Amani. Two African words that mean strength and peace, respectively.

I realize there are people whose reaction will just be "Why???" LOL! We are animal lovers, and have always wanted to add reptiles to our menagerie. I've decided to show for my BSM, not a photo of their whole body, which might skeeve some people out...but rather a close-up of their gorgeous markings.

I had something really fun happen today. I even took a picture so I could share it for my Best Shot Monday!!! I didn't think I was going to be able to play along this week, because I didn't taken any pictures! Can you believe that?

The theme for this week was for "what brightened your day." For those of you that don't really know me, I have an abnormal (lol) obsession with Abraham Lincoln. I think he was totally ahead of his time, and just amazing. He is a hero of mine. When I was 10, I had an Abraham Lincoln bedroom! Yes, I did!!! Anyway, tomorrow is Abe's 199th birthday, and look what happened to me at work today!!! Sorry for the bad quality, but it was taken with my cell phone. (I even got Abe's business card...how's that for cool???)

I love taking pictures, and found a fun way to share them...Best Shot Monday. Each week, I can share my favorite/best shot of the week. Whee! Better than inundating you with tons and tons of pics, right? (And hey...if you WANT the tons and tons...go check out my Flickr, lol!)

This week my photo takes the "shape" of silly! The other day, I was coming upstairs, and came across my old dog sitting this way. Luckily my camera was nearby in my purse, which was hanging on the stair railing. Daisy just makes me smile. She was sitting, happy as a clam, watching kids play outside. (Flickr was having hiccups, so I just switched it to Photobucket.)

Oh! And as an aside? I'm SO jealous! A lady in my town won a MILLION DOLLARS on a scratcher over the weekend! Thank goodness I don't know her, or I'd be even more green! LOL! Congrats to her, I guess!
