Things I Love

Here's the deal. You're assigned a letter from the alphabet, and supposed to list 10 things you love which begin with that letter. I've been assigned P, enjoy!

1. Polka Dots
I am a sucker for them! If I see something printed in polka dots, I have to stop and look (and chances are I'm going to buy it)


2. Procrastination
I've had years of experience and although I am still technically an amateur, I am thinking of applying for professional status. But it's so much paper work... I think I'll wait it out.



3. Pearls
My parents got me a gorgeous set of pearl studs for my wedding. I wear them all the time!

4. Pumpkins
Not really sure why exactly. Maybe because they match my hair? But as much as I love the gourd itself, I can't get enough of all the delicious things it gets added to in the fall: pie, lattes, bread, ice cream. Sure, you only get October and November to enjoy them, but I look forward to it ever year!



5. Paisleys
This was a later-in-life discovery. I had no idea I liked paisleys so much, until I got married. I inadvertently picked-out paisley patterns for my dishes, and my china. Whoops!

6. Panera
who could live without their "you pick two"? Mine is always a variation between turkey sandwich, broccoli cheddar soup, and greek salad. YUM!




7. Puppies
Seems like a cop-out answer (i mean, who doesn't like puppies?). But at this current moment in my life, I am a woman obsessed. It seems like my biological clock isn't ticking, but my puppy alarm won't shut up. I love them so much, I decided to share with you some of my favorite videos too. one, two, three Enjoy!



8. Presents!
Is there anything better? Why is it a thin piece of paper taped on a box makes the inside contents so much more exciting? Although, i still haven't gotten one of the blue box/white ribbon varieties... a girl can dream right?

9. Peguins
I would just like to go on the record and say, I've always liked them. Way before it was trendy to do so. (In fact, I didn't even like happy feet, so there!)



10. The President
truth be told, I love politics in all its forms (another P word). I happen to be one of the majority who adores our new President, and his whole family! (haters: agree to disagree. Just enjoy the fact that we live in a country where we both get to have our opinions)




If you would like to be assigned a letter, leave a comment and I'll be happy to send you one. Make sure I have a way to get in touch with you.

Back to Blogging

After several Margaritas, I have decided to return to blogging!

My google reader has kept me up-to-date on the meaningless drivel you people have published into cyberspace, and in my infinite wisdom I've decided that what I have to see is no worse (nay, it may even me better) than your ingenious blogs.

For those of you who are new to meeting me, here's a little background info:
I grew-up in the south, but was moved up North so my husband could attend grad school.
I have officially survived my first "real" winter, and am quite pleased to have not lost any appendages to frostbite. I have a college degree, but have yet to obtain a "grown-up" job. However, I currently work in tourism and LOVE what I do!
I've been described as funny, loud, and homosapien. I have an irish temper, so if you don't like my mood, wait 30 seconds. I find my husband hilarious, especially when he's not trying to be. And if i could change one thing about my life, i would own a dog.

I used to keep one of these in college, it was somewhat entertaining.

So, feel free to check this page every few months. I don't have much to say, but I will force you to hear it nonetheless (loudly and often).
