Day tres

Ok I've got to be honest, i'm feeling kinda like this whole "30 day challenge" thing is a huge bandwagon.  But in my defense, I started doing this blogging 30 days thing before the facebook 30 days fad started.  So i'm not backing down.  Day 3 is a favorite book. Again with the favorite nonsense!  this one is pretty much a no-brainer for me though.

I LOVE the Harry Potter books.  I just can't think of any other books that I've enjoyed as much as these.  I admit, I was a huge twilight fan, but the movies totally ruined the books for me. It's kinda like ever since seeing the first two movies (still haven't seen eclipse) I feel embarrassed to admit that I've read/enjoyed the books.  Speaking of Harry Potter and Twilight, here is a blog post concerning the two subjects that I think you'll enjoy.

Other books worthy of mentioning: 

• The Host
• The Hunger Games (mostly just the first book though, I was kinda disappointed with the last two)
• The Chronicles of Narnia
• Children of the Promise
• Hearts of the Children
• Pride & Prejudice
• Green Eggs & Ham

Ok I'm drawing a blank.  I've read A LOT of books, most of them good, but none are coming to mind right now, hence the reason I added Green Eggs & Ham to my list... even though it does hold a special place in my heart.

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.

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.

Happy 26th Birthday

To the hunkiest husband I know!
