3. Iced Coffee and Frappuccinos ('nuff said)
4.  Bright Color Clothing
5. BBQing
6.  Being able to spend a long amount of time outside with out it feeling to late

Social Sunday Week 5

Again on Sunday I am linking up with Neely and Ashley for one of my favorite link-ups that I have taken part in since I have started blogging.  This Sunday the questions are about Television.  TV is such a guilty pleasure for me and I know I watch way to much!  

Favorite TV show of the past:

Some of my past favorites are:

Desperate Housewives, Sex in the City, 24, Beverly Hills 90210 (original cast 1990-2000), Gilmore Girls, Save by the Bell, TRL (Total Request Live), Greek (abc family), The Hills, Laguna Beach, Daria and Making the Band (the original season with O-town).  I am sure that I am dating myself with some of these shows.  

Favorite TV show currently:

Once again I can not pick one: But the shows I have to watch and not DVR are:

 Criminal Minds (my world stops for that show), Bones, American Ninja Warrior, Glee, Pretty Little Liars, True Blood, Big Bang Theory, Newsroom, Chopped, and Girls

Which Reality Show would you NEVER do?  

Probably Survivor.  I do not think that I would make it out in the wilderness and American Ninja Warrior (Bryan and I's favorite new show)

Which Reality Show would you LOVE to do?

Amazing Race with my mom (she a flight attendant and flies international flight's and she is great getting around new cities and reading maps) and when I was younger I really wanted to be on the real world of MTV

TV personality/character that you feel is most like you?

A few of my friends would say Jess from New Girl or Lauren Conrad on Laguna Beach when I was in college.  For Jess, I lived with two boys, I am kind of nerdy, and (before I met Bryan) I have always been a little social awkward around men and when I am not feeling in my element. And LC, my last few years in college kind of reminded me of Laguna Beach/The Hills with some of the drama I went through.  I was pretty convinced that MTV should of taped a reality show called "The Boro" and followed me from my 4th-6th year of college.  

And I would say right now a little bit of a mix between Max Black and Caroline Channing from 2 Broke Girls.  I like to think that I have the sarcasm, rude and crude humor of Max and the life/social skills of Caroline.

Which TV Character would you want to date?

Agent Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) and or Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard)


I hope that everyone is having a great Sunday and is enjoying a the link up.  Can not wait to read everyone else's responses.

Follow Back Friday Y'all

Hey Y’all

 

This Friday I am also linking up with Hollie for her #Follow Friday (#FF kind of like on twitter). Her link up takes place on the first Friday of every month! Everyone should take a look at it and see if there are any new blogs out there that may peek your interest! I think this a great idea, especially for bloggers like me who are new still trying to get their feet wet on the whole blogging thing and hoping to find some new blogs to follow and new followers also!

Household Rivalry

Good Evening Kiddos!

The house divided series is over between Bryan and I. We ended up tying the series, 2 cubbies wins and 2 braves wins. I guess November's football game will be the tie breaker, unless the cubs win every game from now until October, which i don't see that happening! But I'm sure he will win the house divided series in football (oh well it's expected).

Night Y'all

July 4th 2012

Good Afternoon y'all! 

Right now Bryan and I are waiting around the house until we go and watch fireworks in Athens.  While we were waiting for dark I wanted to share the wreath I made for the holiday. The wreath to the right is the yarn wreath that I made for the 4th of July Holiday that is hanging on the door at my house.  I used a 14" white wreath, wrapped it 3 times with a white yarn.  For the decoration I used two American flag pinwheels and some ribbon that I found at the local craft store.  This year fell in love with the pinwheel's.  It kind of made me feel like a kid when I bought them.  

While waiting on the fireworks we have been talking about our past 4th of July's and how we have spent them with friends and families.  This is our first Independence Day that we are spending together.  I am not going to lie, but spending it with him, since he is military, makes this day a lot more special.  I hope that everyone remember that we have our independence because of all of the service men and women.  I hope while everyone who is with their friends and family that they are also thinking about the men and women who have been and are over seas still fighting for our independence.  I hope that lots of watermelon and strawberries are being eaten, people are being safe in travels and bodies of water, that the lightning bugs are lighting up the skyline like the fireworks will be later when it gets dark outside.  

Be Safe, thank you to all of our service men and women and Happy 4th of July

Widespread Wednesday 7.4.12

Happy Wednesday Everyone!  This week is turning out to be one of the oddest weeks with the holiday is the middle of the week due to the 4th of July.  Not complaining about having the day off from work but I am worried that tomorrow (Thursday) is going to feel like a Monday when going into the office!?!    This Wednesday I am wild about three things: 

First and foremost all of the Fireworks.  I absolutely in love with fireworks.  I will be able to see fireworks two times this 4th of july.  Last Saturday in Milledgeville and today, in Athens.  They are some of the most beautiful things when they are put off in the correct order along with the colors and or sizes they are made to be.   I wish that it was kosher to that I was able to watch fireworks once a week instead of a few times a year.

Next, I am excited about my car (JT) finally being painted.  I get to pick him up Friday night and or Saturday afternoon!  I can not wait to see what JT will look like with a nice shiny new paint job. He will be all blue, clean and pretty!  I am going to be so excited and not ashamed to drive Mr. Timberlake!!

Lastly is Bryan and I's House Divided matches.  We will always be divided when it comes to football season, especially this year when my GEORGIA SOUTHERN EAGLES go between the hedges to play his University of Georgia Bulldogs (i am a UGA fan except when our teams play each other) in late November.  But the house divided issue came up again this week when the Chicago Cubs came into town and played the Atlanta Braves.  I grew up in Chicago, my parents still have season tickets to the cubs, and it is the only team that existed until I moved to Atlanta.  So we have been in a bitter battle this week about baseball and who has the better team.  So far we are both 1-1 for wins out of four games.  Hopefully the Cubbies can pull the series out.  But on Friday after the Cubs leave town I will be once again a Braves and Cubs Fan!

Happy Wednesday and have a safe 4th of July!
