Ten Things Tuesday

1. I absolutely love my new hair. It's so fun.

2. The Twilight graphic novel is so pretty, and it was fun to read.

3. I wish it was the whole thing though and not just part one. It's stops just after the meadow.

4. New Moon is out on Saturday.

5. Last Twilight thing. Watched the Eclipse teaser trailer. I wish I could see more.

6. I really want to go camping. Might be going with Nat, Garrett, Connor, and Megan Memorial weekend.

7. I always do these so late in the day.

8. Watched a video Garrett put together of Connor's first 5 months. So cute.

9. Connor just may be the cutest thing ever.

10. That's it. I can't think of any more. This is all you get.

I dyed my hair

Never underestimate the power of a red head.

10 things tuesday

1. I love Hello Panda cookies. Natalie, you know what those are:)

2. Dolly smells like Advantage Multi flea treatment.

3. A lot of sweet things I used to love are too sweet now a days. I had chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, but the frosting (which I used to love) I almost couldn't finish. This has been happening a lot lately.

4. I suppose it's technically a good thing that I'm losing my sweet tooth. I heard sugar's supposed to not be good for you or something.

5. I'm getting my hair colored on Thursday.

6. Ten days till New Moon DVD is out.

7. Vote for Connor. Because he is the cutest.

8. I hope I don't get called into work early tomorrow, but something tells me I will.

9. Two left and I'm stuck, so I'm going to cheat by including this as one of my thoughts.

10. Going to go read a review for a book I want.

Why I love Smart Mouths

I've mentioned it in my Ten Things Tuesday, but I feel the need to elaborate on what Smart Mouths really is. It's a podcast put together by a group of twenty-somethings who talk about what's going on in the world. What I love is that they are able to present the news in a format that's easy to understand, and is truly enjoyable. I don't watch really watch the news on tv, because there's nothing engaging about it. With Smart Mouths, even political discussions are interesting to listen to, which is certainly saying something. I hate politics. So often, discussions are so one sided, or they get way too personal. But Smart Mouths is able to have a discussion without their personal party affiliations getting in the way. They are able to have their views, but still recognize when something that someone does from their party is bogus. They don't automatically bash someone, or hero-worship someone, because of their party, they look at the situation and base their opinions on what the see and hear at the time. Smart Mouths podcast is news I can get behind, made by people like me, who aren't afraid to say what they think, but say it in a way that anyone can enjoy.

Blog Parade

1. What's your favorite time of the day, and why?

There are so many, but one is when Dolly is sleeping curled up against me. She's so calm and peaceful and not running crazily around the house:)

2. If health wasn't an issue, what food could you live off of?

I think I'm going to have to agree with my sister and say Starbucks, triple grande peppermint white mocha (two pumps of each syrup). So good. Or maybe citrus squeeze Jamba Juice. They have protein powder...

3. If you could have one wish granted (besides wishing for more wishes), what would it be?

Win the lottery (sorry Nat for stealing your answer again) so that I could do what I love without having to worry about money.

4. What's one thing that you get teased about a lot?

Every time I stub my toe. I do it a lot because I'm really not careful. Story of my life.

5. If you could choose one movie, book, or TV show to spend your life in, which would you pick? What type of character would you be?

I'd actually love to be in Cassandra Clare's world in the Mortal Instruments series. To live in New York (or the Glass City of the Shadowhunters) and have bad-ass demon fighting powers. Not to mention the fact that Vampires, Werewolves, Faeries, and Warlocks/Witches are all real.
6. If you could have one talent that you don't already have, what would it be?

The talent of not procrastinating.

7.If money were no object, where would you go on vacation.
If money is no object then I'm going to Europe. The whole thing.

8. If you were an awesome singer, which genre would you sing?

Jazz with a little blues.

9. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, what would it be?

I dunno. Is there a store where I can get amazing clothes and good books in the same place?

10. If you could live in any point in time, when would it be?

I don't want to give up my freedoms as a woman, but there are a lot of lovely things about the past that I wouldn't mind experiencing.

11. If every outfit in your wardrobe had to be one color, what would it be?
Monochromatic isn't a good look for anyone. Do I get jeans? Well, I'd make the colored things green (the shade that looks on me)

12. If you were one of the seven dwarfs, which one would you be?(Doc, Grumpy, Sneezy, Sleepy, Bashful, Happy, or Dopey)

I have no idea. I'm a little bit of all of those. Can I just be Snow White? She's prettier.

13. What's the last album you listened to?

Joss Stone; Color me Free.

14. What's something we'd be surprised to know about you?

I'd actually really love to travel to India. I know there are some scary parts, but it also seems like an amazing place.

~~~Be real, be fun, and be you! In your party post, give us a glimpse into who you are--what your passions, interests, quirks, and traits are. The more we can relate to you, the more likely you are to get people returning to your blog for more! :)

ten things tuesday

1. New shows again this week. Horray.

2. I love reading author's blogs. They're fascinating.

3. Libba Bray, one of my favorite authors, announced that she is working on a new series. I'm excited.

4. I'm working really hard to break Dolly of her barking habit.

5. Everybody needs to call my father and tell him the proper articulation of the suspense sound "Dun dun duuuuuun".

6. I watched Juno last night. Such a funny movie.

7. Smart Mouths podcast. My new favorite thing.

8. Had crab rangoon and yellow curry for dinner. Yum yum.

9. Some people are just stupid. It's unfortunate, but true.

10. I want to go on vacation.

Thirteen Things Thursday

1. I was late on posting this week, so I thought I'd give you all a little extra.

2. Went to the outlet mall with my sister (and baby Connor) on Sunday. It was very fun, and we both bought things.

3. Today I had a successful shopping trip to TjMaxx. It's hard to do. You have to be in the right mood to try a million things, but I found 2 shirts and a scarf.

4. Watching figure skating. It's such a beautiful sport.

5. I didn't have to work today. It was kind of fun to be able to decide to do whatever I wanted with the day.

6. A couple of friends of mine have made lists of things they want to do before they die. It's not a new concept, and having "die" in the title is a bit morbid, so I think I'll make a list of "Things I'd like to accomplish in my lifetime." I'll post it here once I've created it.

7. Unlike my friends, I will make my list only out of things I haven't done, not start with a half filled list.

8. The reason I missed Tuesday was that I took Nyquil for a cold and my brain went away.

9. I have no excuse for Wednesday.

10. I talk about coffee a lot, I really love it, but I really love tea too. It's incredibly good.

11. I don't know what I'd do without spell check. I'm quite the abysmal speller without it.

12. I also have terrible handwriting, but technology can't fix that.

13. Clap if you believe in faeries.
