The Great Gator Search of 2009

by Lindsay Ballard on January 9, 2009 17 Comments

My darling sister and her super cute fiancé probably got little sleep last night. No, not because of that…get your mind out of the gutter. That’s my baby sister you are thinking about!

The reason I mean is that they were in Miami to see their Florida Gators crush the Oklahoma Sooners! I’m a University of Texas alum myself, so the entire National Championship game was hard to stomach in the first place (we were ROBBED!), but I was definitely rooting for the Gators to beat our Big 12 rivals to the North.

As my sis and future BIL are two of the biggest UF fans out there, we decided to incorporate a little Gator Pride into their upcoming wedding ceremony. What better way than for the world’s most adorable three-year-old ring bearer to carry a stuffed gator down the aisle instead of a boring ring bearer pillow? I think we’ll tie a ribbon around it’s neck to hold the rings. That being said, I’m on the search for the best looking gator out there. Here are some options I’ve found online:

This one is cute, but I’m worried that the hazardous waste in his swamp has turned him an odd color.

I’m concerned that this one is going to want to live in my bathtub after the wedding, and he just doesn’t fit into my decor.

Here’s a more realistic gator, but he apparently sings and dances a la Big Mouth Billy Bass, so I think we’ll pass.

Maybe with this one, I won’t have to worry about DS dropping it or throwing it at someone as he walks down the aisle.

Wait, isn’t that just a green BJ from Barney and Friends?


I think this one is really cute, but his eyes make him look a little hungover. Come to think of it, knowing my sister and her friends, this would actually be a good choice.

Clearly, I still haven’t found the perfect gator, so the Great Gator Search of 2009 continues. I’ll probably end up dragging DS all over town looking for “the one” until I get frustrated, give up, and just order the singing gator online. Perhaps I can figure out how to change the chip inside of him so that he sings the Gator Fight Song.

Have you seen any cute gators out there?

    Another thing I’ve really noticed is that often for many people, poor credit is the results of circumstances outside of their control. For instance they may are already saddled with illness so they have higher bills going to collections. Maybe it’s due to a occupation loss or maybe the inability to do the job. Sometimes divorce can really send the funds in the wrong direction. Many thanks for sharing your notions on this site.

    One other thing I would like to mention is that rather than trying to fit all your online degree tutorials on days of the week that you finish work (considering that people are worn out when they go back home), try to obtain most of your lessons on the saturdays and sundays and only a couple of courses for weekdays, even if it means taking some time away from your weekend break. This is beneficial because on the saturdays and sundays, you will be a lot more rested and concentrated in school work. Thanks alot : ) for the different points I have realized from your blog site.
