30 Day Challenge - Day 7-11 - Catch - Up

Hi there blog friends....

remember me?

I know its been a while....

I almost had to look up my log-in because its been so long since I have blogged

... and if i didn't already nominate myself for the worst blogger of the year award a few months ago - I'm pretty sure I would accept the nomination again for my blogging hiatus!

But no worries I'm back! and I have a lot to catch y'all up on - so here we go!

time to catch up on the 30 day blogging challenge

Day 7

Favorite movies

Steel Magnolias
Elf
Blindside
Varsity Blues
The Holiday
How to Loose a Guy in 10 Days

Day 8

A place you've traveled to

I have been fortunate that my family has given us the opportunity to travel out west to snowboard for the past few years - however, my favorite place that we travel to often is Lake Cumberland in Kentucky.
It is so serene, peaceful, and when you get down on the water, there is not a care in the world. I love going on a family vacation almost every year there.

Day 9

A picture of your friends

OSU vs OU game

Did y'all know that Aly from Analyze This and I are real life besties?
She was my college roommate at school and I can truly say that I think blogging has only brought us closer together - and I love it!
She is coming this weekend to visit - and I can't wait to see her - i'm sure more pictures are to come!

Day 10

Something you're afraid of

This is a good question - I'm not so sure how to answer this question - it is much more difficult than I expected it to be.
Perhaps I'm afraid of the unknown - a little because i'm a control freak and a little because I don't like not knowing what is going to happen. I have always been a little bit of a worrier - and thats just my nature - i worry about people, things, and making sure everything goes as planned.


Day 11

Favorite tv shows

Oh my - don't judge my list of reality tv shows - deal?!

Biggest Loser
First 48
Top Chef
Teen Mom
Jersey Shore
Keeping Up with Kardashians
Modern Famiy

Alright - I think that gets me all caught up for now - I will try my hardest not to fall that far behind again! i apologize about that! not my intentions!

Come back tomorrow afternoon and I will have a great give-a-way from everyone's favorite site - CSN!!!! Make sure not to miss it!

Top 2 Tuesday - Things to do in your lifetime

Its Top 2 Tuesday time...

this weeks theme is top 2 things you want to do before you die

1. mentor an under privileged child

I have been slightly addicted to the story behind the Blindside for the past month or so. Justin and I watched the movie a few weeks back, and then his parents got me the Blu Ray for completing the half marathon (and I could honestly watch it everyday), but every time I watch the dvd, i have to immediately watch the E! True Story behind the blindside - it is such a moving story. I think the Touhy's are amazing family, and to watch Mrs. Touhy's determination in making Michael successful is pretty motivating. I also happened to watch Extreme House Makeover this past week where the Touhy's helped in designing the house/field house for the dad of the family. I just think that there are so many more opportunities to help out an under privileged child in your community and that I could hopefully be half as committed and dedicated as the Touhy's I could make a difference.

2. getting a hole-in-one in golf

i used to be a pretty competitive/decent golfer in high school, and kind of lost interest after i graduated HS and got to college, but this year JM and I are going to work on getting out to the links at least 2 times a month together. i can't guarantee that a hole in one will happen any time soon... but it would be nice to get one :)
**on a side note I do need to give a shout out to my dad who got his first hole-in-one ever on Saturday! he has been playing golf since he was in middle school - so it was about time he got one! CONGRATS dad!**

Honorable Mentions

• Adopt a pet from a local shelter
• Find my dream job, one that I don't feel as if I am going to work every day
• Run an entire half marathon, not stopping and walking
• go to Augusta for the Masters
• go to the Winter X games
