My favorite book (Day 4)

My favorite book.

Not so easy. I love to read. I read everyday. You would think it would be easy for me to just shout out my all time faves. But it's really not. I get lost in all books, as long as they are written well. And they all stay with me, in some way.

I can name off my favorites authors (right now, anyways. This changes often, too.) I can read anything by Alice Sebolt, Nicholas Sparks, Jodi Picoult, or Emily Giffin and be lost for days. But I can't really name just ONE book that I will call my all time can't live without favorite.

But - there is Harry Potter. The whole series. Pretty much perfection. How fun would it be to live in those books? I'll be Hermione.

Anyone else agree?

Mommy and Me Monday

Brody is such a charmer, isn't he??

After a lot of "I promise I'll smile nice this time!" "HAHA! Just Kidding, mom. One more!!" I finally gave up.

Maybe he'll grow up to be a comedian.

More Mommy and Me Monday

Day 3

My favorite TV show -


Currently, The Office. I just love the humor. Not everyone gets this show, but if actually watch a whole episode, I promise you will laugh. and come back to watch the following week!

Old favorites that I need to own the box set of: Gilmore Girls.



Old favorites that I do own the box set of: Friends.

Great. Now all I want to do is watch reruns. I can tell I'm going to be REAL productive at work today!!!

Up and Away GIVEAWAY!!

Diane at Good Mourning Glory has the BEST giveaway going on - China Glaze nail polish!! The WHOLE spring collection!!!

I really hope I win!

30 days. Day 2.

My favorite movie.

I can't possibly pick just one. How about my top five??

Finding Neverland.
This is just a beautiful movie. I love it. Everything about it.
(It's a great date movie, also!!!)


Friends with Money.
The first time I watched this movie, I was kind of sad, down on life, missing my friends, wanting a boyfriend, etc. It's been one of my favorites ever since. If you haven't seen it, do.


Christmas Vacation.
Ahhh, who doesn't love Cousin Eddie??

Elf.

Another Christmas Movie. This is the best. Brody and I watch it ALL.THE.TIME. (we watched it TWICE just last week.) It's such a happy, fun movie, and totally qoutable, which is a plus in my book!!

The Notebook.

Of course. Ryan is possibly the most perfect man ever in this movie. Perfection. (also a GREAT date movie!)

30 Days. Day One.

So it's Monday, and I have a cute new picture of Brody and me to share for Mommy and Me Monday - BUT of course, I forgot my camera at home. I could post it later tonight, but I think I'll just save it and post it next week instead.

I've seen this on a few different blogs now - and decided to it to. It's fun topics, and you get to learn a bit about me!!

Day One: My favorite song.

This one is easy for me. It's been my favorite song since around 1996, when I was introduced to Candlebox. I have sooooo many memories with this song! Sad, happy, boyfriends, friends....I will always LOVE this song!!!!

Far Behind ~ Candlebox.

We're going on a catapillar hunt....

Okay - I need some help here. Brody loves the outdoors. He loves to watch, he loves to learn, he loves all things animals.

Ever since last fall, when his preschool class captured some catapillars and watched them turn into coccoons and then butterflies, he's been talking about "going on a catapillar hunt". He is obsessed with this idea, telling everyone that is invited - me, his uncles, my parents, my sister, that we are going to go on this "hunt" for catapillars and turn them into butterflies.

So, being that it's been WINTER here and all, the catapillar hunt has not yet happened. And won't be happening for months. I happened to find this great butterfly canopy - from the Discovery Store.


I have already purchased this, and have sent in the voucher for the catapillar eggs to be delivered right before Easter. We don't eat candy. We still have a basket full of Halloween candy, and Christmas candy, and Valentine's Day candy. So this year for Easter, I am giving Brody a catapillar hunt.

My problem, is finding the other hunt supplies. As in, we needs hats!!

And magnifying glasses!!!

And I can not find any hats that are not either very cheap, or very expensive. Where on earth can I find these??? I've been googling safari, exploring, detective, anything. Does anyone know where I can get a decent hat?

And magnifying glasses?? I don't want to spend $35 on one, but I don't want just a cheapo plastic one either. Brody really is interested in learning, and I think he'll actually really love getting a close up view on bugs and stuff. Any ideas?

And what else do you suggest I get to go along with our little exploring theme?

Mommy and Me Mondays

I just realized that I haven't even touched my camera for weeks. No cute pictures of Brody to share. Which means, I also have no "new" pictures of me and Brody either. I'd take one now, but I just out of the shower.

I didn't participate the last two weeks because I hadn't taken any pictures. Now we are at week 4 of Mommy and Me Mondays. So I am sharing an old picture. Not too old - it was taken on Halloween last year.

Here's my picture of me and IronMan.

Hosted by Krystyn

Goal for next week: Use my camera. Take a new picture with Brody.

Or IronMan. Whoever.

Five people you would want to get to know more about:

??????

Abortion: for or against it?

I am not for it. But I do understand that sometimes, it may be the right choice for that person. Just not the right choice for me.

Do you think the world would fail with a female president?

Absolutely not.

Do you believe in the death penalty?

Hmm. No, but I am also not for leaving people to rot in a cell for the rest of their lives living off tax payers either. Glad it's not my decision .

Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?

No. I don't believe it's needed in life. If you want to prescribe it to people, sure. But I don't believe it should be legalized for recreational purposes.

Are you for or against premarital sex?

Obviously. I am not married. I have a child.

Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?

Yes.

Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?

One of my biggest pet peeves is illegal immigrants. hispanic or not.

Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?

No.

Should the war in Iraq be called off?

Yes.

Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?

Yes.

Do you believe in spanking your children?

Spanking as in a few pops on the butt, okay. Not slamming them over and over. What does that teach? I don't spank. He may get a slap on the butt once in awhile or an ear pulled, but nothing more than once. I grew up the same.

Do you worry that others will judge you from reading some of your answers?

I don't care. Everyone has their own opinions to these questions.
