Friday Meme Madness

I am so glad that it is Friday, but my BF is working all weekend so I won't get to see him very much ) : I am planning to see Alice In Wonderland and How To Train Your Dragon with two of my friends and my friend's little girl! Yay for a little time with the girls (and having a lil one pick the movie so I can finally see How To Train Your Dragon!)

This week Mama M has another great set of questions for 5 Question Friday:


1. Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life? I would play myself! I would pull a Good Will Hunting and write it and star in it! ( : If that is not an option, then I would probably say Rachael McAdams or Rosamund Pike or Kirsten Dunst (I have had people say I look like the last two lovely ladies. How sweet, right?!)
2. Did you ever go to summer camp? Yes! I went to Mingus Mt Methodist Camp from the time I was 10 years old until I was 16! I loved my time there so much and I wouldn't trade those memories for anything! It really helped me grow in my faith and have a closer relationship with God. I will always carry that feeling with me in my heart.

3. What sends you running and screaming in the other direction? Spiders! Haha, I love this picture! This was taken at FAO Schwartz in Las Vegas (before they closed! How sad is that!?) But seriously, spiders make my skin crawl!

4. What is something you do that drives your spouse nuts? I am not married, but I did recently discover something I do when I am over at my BF's that drives him crazy. The other day he told me how much he hates it when I forget to put the cap back on the toothpaste. We have been dating for almost three years and he just tells me now, haha. I am now making a conscious effort to replace the cap every time!

5. What is currently your favorite song? Ooo- this is a toughie because I love so many songs! I think the one that is in my head right now is "Stole My Heart" by Little and Ashley. You might recognize it from the Kindle commercial but I think its a cute catchy tune! Following in the commercial trend 'Ali in the Jungle,' by the Hours is pretty cool too! I also LOVE Lady Antebellum right now, especially their song "Need You Now."

To play along head on over:

The topic over at Favorite Fridays this week is favorite dramatic book.

There are so many great book out there that I love, but I will share one that is a quick read but still a really great story and very well written. Sea Glass by Anita Shreve is one of my all time favorites. It is kind of unique in that it is told from six different points of view, but is still very easy to follow and hard to put down! Here is the review from Amazon:

From its opening pages, Anita Shreve's Sea Glass surrounds the reader in the surprisingly rich feeling of the New Hampshire coast in winter. Vividly evoking the life of the coastal community at the beginning of the Great Depression, Sea Glass shifts through the multiple points of view of six principal characters; it's a skillfully created story of braided lives that bounces easily (even inevitably) from character to character. We learn how these lives come together following the stock market crash of 1929 and about the struggles of mill workers on the starkly beautiful New Hampshire coast during the following year...Each character finds unexpected new purpose beyond the struggle to survive during that turbulent year among the dunes. First their lives barely touch, then they intersect, and finally they become inextricably bound. By the powerful and unexpected final scenes of the story, every point of view, every brilliant shard of life depends deeply on all the others. It is a very satisfying read--confidently told and deeply felt--with as many subtle colors and reflections as the sea glass that permeates the narrative. --Paul Ford

And finally... In honor of Funny Fridays and the fact that the ski resort two hours from my house will be closing for the season this weekend, I leave you with this little guy:

Have a great weekend everyone!

Friday Fun and A New Blog Look

Hooray for Friday! I am looking forward to this weekend! I have a poolside luau on Saturday for my friend's little girl's birthday and some quality time planned with my favorite people! Today I am playing along with Five Question Friday

1. Did you pass your driver's test on the first try? Yup. I like to think of myself as a pretty good driver (although I do get labeled as a granny by my friends... its best to be safe, right?! Plus I have to protect my lil pony!)
2. What is your most embarrassing moment? The one that comes to mind is from my freshman year of college. I was feeling really sick one morning, but I had to go to class. My English class had really strict attendance rules and I had already missed a couple classes... Obviously at that point I was wishing I hadn't wasted them on things like sleeping in and going out to breakfast with friends, LOL. I went to class and felt awful, but at least I was in the seat. About 10 min before class was over I started sweating and my stomach was churning and I knew I was going to be sick. I ran out of class, but I didn't make it to the bathroom! I threw up all down the stairs and immediately afterwards classes let out and everyone was staring at me and trying to avoid stepping in vomit! I really didn't know what to do! I didn't feel right just walking away and I felt so sick I could barely move! A janitor came by and helped me and got me to campus health too. I ended up having gastroenteritis and it was the sickest I have ever been in my life!

3. What TV show would you like to be on-Oprah, Biggest Loser, or What Not To Wear? Ooo. That's a tough one. It depends on what the Oprah show topic is... If its one of her give away shows then definitely sign me up!!! If its not the give away show, then I would go with What Not To Wear (although the haircut always scares me!)

4. Would you ever get plastic surgery and what kind? I probably never would. The idea of elective surgery scares me into accepting myself- haha. I would consider getting Botox. Has anyone done this? Again I am a big scardy cat, but it would be nice to delay wrinkles!

5. What are your favorite jeans to wear? I am obsessed with Sevens. Most of my jeans are Sevens now and I just love the way they fit! I also love Citizens and Joes.
Fun questions! If you wanna play along and check out everyones answers check out My Little Life:

I also want to play along with Friday Favorites from A Girl in Pearls. This week's topic is favorite comedy TV.

I have a TON of comedy shows recorded on my DVR and its hard for me to pick a single favorite. Even though its been off the air for years I still laugh when I watch Friends! Its one of the few shows I own on DVD. I also still love watching re-runs of Sex and The City, King of Queens, The Simpsons, and Scrubs. I guess my favorite show that's still filming would be a tie between 3o Rock, The Office, and Desperate Housewives.

This is for Funny Fridays at Keeping Up With Kelly & Co. This picture just cracks me up. What a naughty lil thing!I also tried my hand at making a blog header and buttons. Let me know what you think! Happy Friday and hope your weekend rocks your socks off!
