30 Days of Blogging: Day 12, Day 13 and Day 14

Day 12: Something you don't leave the house without

My Phone

As I told you in a previous post, I didn't want to give up my "pay as you go" phone, because it wasn't registered, and "The Man" didn't know who I was. BUT, The Chef and I were at a point where the pay as you go airtime was no longer worth it (and with the promise that the new restaurant was going to pay for them... take a guess how many times that happened***) we took the plunge and went and bought good phones... smart phones... and now I am so dependent on it, that if I leave the house to check the mailbox, I feel lost (I'm really not that bad, but close). For someone who didn't want to be tracked, I sure have swallowed it hook line and sinker.

I'm an addict.


Day 13: Photo that makes you laugh

Jelly


Day 14: Website you love to visit

There are a few websites that I visit daily... but the most entertaining of them by far is Fark.com. So many just different things on there, and the titles of the stories are piss your pants laugh out loud funny. Enjoy... you won't be disappointed.

30 Days of Blogging: Day 9, Day 10 and Day 11

Still playing catch up....

Day 9: Your Favorite Quote

Being a scrapbooker and a card maker... I have a ton of them. Here are 3 err... I mean 4:

"Hope is the dream of the soul awake" ~French Proverb

"A girl should be two things, classy and fabulous" ~CoCo Chanel

"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What? You too? I thought I was the only one'" ~C.S. Lewis

"How can I set free anyone who doesn't have the guts to stand up alone and declare his own freedom? I think it's a lie- people claim they want to be free- everyone insists that freedom is what they want the most, the most sacred and precious thing a man can possess. But that's bullshit! People are terrified to be set free- they hold on to their chains. They fight anyone who tries to break those chains. It's their security... How can they expect me or anyone else to set them free if they don't really want to be free?" ~Jim Morrison



Day 10: Something you're afraid of

There are several ways I can answer this... You chose which way I'm going...

I'm afraid of taking a shower when The Chef isn't home. I have watched one too many of those stupid "home alone, the psycho-killer breaks into the house" movies and shows.

Now you know one of my dirty little secrets.



Day 11: TV Shows you are currently addicted too

Oh wow... I'm a TV addict.... but to say I'm addicted to a show... That's a rough one. Several I can live without... but here are the ones I get testy about if the babes erase them off of the DVR.

Eat Street on the Cooking Channel (It's all about great street food here in the US)
Nurse Jackie on Showtime (Jackie is a RN, a wife and mom, and she's also an addict.)
Top Chef (all of the various incarnations of it... right now it's Top Chef Masters.)
Sanctuary (Helen Magnus doesn't age, and helps the mutants of the world)
Oddities (LOVE this show. It's all the weird stuff that our parents warned us about.)

30 Days of Blogging: Day 6, Day 7 and Day 8

I'm just combine them all because I want to be on track for Friday's post, I'm a slacker I know, but what do you do?

Play catch up, that's what you do. So....

Day 6: A random picture that makes you happy
by *crimson-diablo on deviantART
It's the entire Stargate Cast through the 10 years done in this little people style that I adore. Yes, I'm a geek... but it makes me happy.



Day 7: Favorite Books (In no order)






Day 8: A place you have traveled to

Mt. St. Michel

Notre Dame


Musee D'Orsay
And what is most excellent about the last one, is that the museum is online. Check it out here.






30 Days of Blogging: Day 5

(Note: Not my fault that I'm behind... Blogger has been down... and then when it came back up, I just didn't get around to it. I suck. I know.)

Day 5: A Song that means a lot to you.

After completing the 30 Day Song Challenge, I realize that there were some songs that just didn't make the list... for whatever reason...

This song is the first one ever that The Chef and I danced too.

30 Days of blogging Day 4

Day 4.... Weird Collection or hobby

I've been trying to come up with something all day... and all I can think of is something I want to start collectiong...

See I have been watching this show on the science channel called "Oddities"... and I it has reignited my love of the weird and macabre.

I want a hurricane jar filled with vertebrate. Im thinking something small.

If nothing else it would definatly start a conversation.

30 Days of Blogging: Day 15 (err... I mean Day 3)

Day 3 of the 30 Days of Blogging is to post pictures from your wedding. Since my anniversary happens to be during this adventure, I am going to wait and blog Day 3 on Day 15, which is the day my anniversary falls, and I'm going to post Day 15 as Day 3.

Day 15 (my day 3) is: Share a Bible Verse

This is an interesting one. I haven't read The Good Book cover to cover, although I have read a few chapters all the way through. I have sat around the table with others and discussed said chapters, said verses. I have learned from all of them, what my future is, and what my past was.

And lately I have been asking "why" more than I ever have, and when I was at the bottom, ready to throw my hands in the air and say "screw it" I just so happened to click on one of those "random Bible verse" links, and this is the one that popped up:

All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

Things are going to be alright.

30 Days of Blogging Day 2


Day 2: Take a photo of a random part of your day and tell us about it 

Soda is bad for you and I have been known to drink too many of them. So a few months ago when I forgot to get some at the store and I was too lazy to run back out I decided to cut back on it. I only let myself have one or two (I'm not a sadist) a day. I do feel better and I have a smidge more energy. 

Random enough for you?
