Day 2

First of all...Happy Valentine's Day!
Well Sam is working tonight, so no big V-day date for us, but I made him this lovely little card and i must say, I think it's pretty cute.  Now onto the main event:  A Favorite movie.  Same deal with the songs. I can't pick just one.

Lord of the Rings
Harry Potter


Moulin Rouge

Meet the Robinsons


Alice in Wonderland


Pride & Prejudice

The Little Rascals
The Grinch


Up

A Lot Like Love


Pirates of the Caribbean

Do you want me to keep going? Because I totally can if you want me to...
I do have something to say about all the "favorite" business though.  What's the big deal? Why do we have to have a favorite everything?  I'm kind of indecisive sometimes and I can't narrow it down! (obviously, right?)

Blog Stalking has its benefits / Day 1

I'm just gonna state the obvious here: I have sucked at blogging lately.  Natalie reminded me the other day via text message:
Nats: it has been 3 weeks since you updated your blog. Just fyi.
Me:  I know. I suck at life.  But nothing fun or exciting or remotely interesting has happened to me lately.


So I guess that's my excuse.  Nothing worth mentioning going on here.  However, as I was blog stalking today, I came upon a blogger that had a list.  Just what I need!  30 blogging topics! hopefully I'll be able to add some other junk in here besides just the list for the next month, but now I have something to blog about when my life is boring! Woot!


The lineup:
Day 1: A favorite song.
Day 2: A favorite movie.
Day 3: A favorite book.
Day 4: A favorite television program.
Day 5: A favorite quote.
Day 6: A moment you wish you could relive.
Day 7: Five things you couldn't possibly live without.
Day 8: A thank you letter to someone who has changed your life.
Day 9: A photo you took.
Day 10: A photo of you taken over ten years ago.
Day 11: A photo of you taken recently.
Day 12: A song that you want played at your wedding(or was played).
Day 13: A guilty pleasure.
Day 14: A vacation you would like to take.
Day 15: A person you admire.
Day 16: A song that makes you cry.
Day 17: An art piece.
Day 18: A time when you felt passionate and alive.
Day 19: A talent of yours.
Day 20: A hobby of yours.
Day 21: Something you know you do differently than most people.
Day 22: A website.
Day 23: A way in which you want to be remembered.
Day 24: A movie no one would expect you to love.
Day 25: A recipe.
Day 26: A childhood memory.
Day 27: A physical feature you love.
Day 28: A scar you have and it's story.
Day 29: Hopes, dreams and plans you have for the next 365 days.
Day 30: A motto or philosophy



So here i go. Day uno: A favorite song

Sometimes...

Sometimes, when you live in an apartment complex with assigned parking, people can get a little territorial with their spaces.  Admittedly,I am guilty of this.  There are different ways to deal with space stealing.  One can take a no mercy approach.  Another method is to just let it slide.  And then, there is the road less traveled:
That road is called guilt.

Today

Today, I woke up at 5 to take Zoey potty, then went right back to sleep.
Today, my alarm went off at 8 to tell me to go running, so I turned it off and went right back to sleep.
Today, the first thing I ate was one of the brownies from the batch I made last night.
Today, my chewed-up computer cord finally gave up on me.
Today, I finally paid tuition for this semester.
Today, I actually went running... an hour and a half after I had originally intended.
Today, I finally sent back the comforter that got eaten by the washer.
Today, I bought a new computer cord.
Today, I decided to blog, but not about Christmas, like I should.
Today, I realized I needed a new background for my blog because the one that I had was still Christmas themed.
Today, the repair man will hopefully come to fix our washing machine, which has been out of order since New Year's Day.
Today, I will try not to eat the rest of those brownies.
Today, I will make dinner that requires more effort than I've put into a meal since we've been back from visiting family for the holidays.
Today, I will watch old episodes of Bones and stay up late texting my husband while he is at work.
Today, I thought I had accomplished a lot, but reading this list makes me feel differently.
Oh well. There's always tomorrow =]
