Day 11-Favorite tv shows

Hello, hello! Can you believe it is already Thursday?! This week is flllllying by and I'm loving it! I don't know if I mentioned it, but I am working 9 days in a row and it's wreaking havoc on my brain right now. I cannot believe I am even keeping up with this challenge, but a challenge is a challenge! I will not admit defeat! :)

SO, my favorite shows, eh?

I love tv, but I hardly have any time to watch. My poor DVR is full almost all the time, I'm overly ambitious with what I think I can watch and record so much but rarely have time to watch. These are the shows I try not to miss!

Modern Family - love this show SO MUCH! Everyone is hilarious and the gay couple is fantastic.

The Middle - started watching this show b/c it's on after Modern Family and I love it equally as much! The only think I kinda hate? It's supposed to be based on "the midwest" and kinda makes us look dumb. So, not true or cool. But, still funny.

Dancing with the Stars - I usually watch this super fast and while I'm doing a million other things. I could take this or leave it. I hardly ever agree with the judges, but then again, I am not a professional dancer.

The Big Bang Theory - this show is freaking fantastic! If I refuse to miss this one and watch it almost immediately when I get home Thursday nights

How I Met Your Mother - another great show that I love! I think it's pretty realistic in the storylines in regards to how mid-to upper 20 somethings think and act (besides Barney, I mean he's hilarious but so not realistic!)

Keeping up with the Kardashians - I love this family! I can't wait until next season, it looks like a good one!

Grey's Anatomy - I admit, this show is definitely losing it's finesse that it had when it first came out, but I'm still loyal and have to watch! I sure miss Izzie and George though!

House Hunters - Love HGTV and this is my favorite show on that channel! If I start watching an episode I HAVE to finish it because I just HAVE to know which house they choose.

Well, I have class in about 30 minutes so I better skedaddle! Hope everyone has a great day!!

What shows are on your "must-see tv' list?

Day 10-Something you're afraid of

Me?

Afraid?

Psh!

Yeah right!

I'm the bravest women ever!

Just kidding.... I have lots of little irrational fears (and a few big, rational ones. ;) )

I'm afraid of....

snakes

the dark

scary movies - I hate them!

my parents dying

Libby or Zeke dying

my sister dying

Ok, any member of my family dying (clearly)

getting fired - I've never been fired!

drowing

burning alive in a house fire

getting in a car accident

Ok, so I'm going to stop right now because... umm.... isn't everyone afraid of this stuff? I mean, really? It's not like I'm a hermit that cowers in my bed all day hiding out in the house because I'm scared of getting in a car accident!

Something I am truly, 100% afraid of is the possibility of me never getting married and having children.

I seriously think about this one and it devastates me. I know I would be okay because I have a wonderful network of friends, a great career (and working on a new one!), and a fantastic immediate and extended family but I want to create my own family and find that guy that I can call family.

When I get down thinking about the possibility of this not happening I think about something one of my best friends Shannon said to me once. She said,

"Amber, that won't happen to you. The possibility of you not getting married is impossible because people like you don't just not get married. It's silly to even think about it. So, stop worrying about it."

It's a fear of mine, but when I start to get scared I think of what Shannon said to me and I smile. :)

Day 9: Picture of my friends

I have the best group of friends. They're amazing and I thank my lucky stars everyday for them. There are four of us that we call the "3 Gs" which is this made up sorority that we started and it just kind of stuck. We still use the term 3Gs and everyone thinks we're nuts but we don't care! :)

Ok, so since I kind of already did this on day 6 I thought I would just include MORE pictures with a few blasts from the past! (no laughing!) ;)

First 3G wedding!

Second 3G wedding - and yes, they literally "took the plunge"! Ha!

Some of us in the pool. Can you find me?

Second 3G "in-law"! :)

VERY OLD PICTURE! I was probably 20 years old...

I think this was the first 21st birthday... got a little out of hand, as you can see... :)

Yeah, we thought we were baaad to the bone! Haha! This was probably my freshman year of college.

Ugh, someone should of told me brown hair does not look good on me!

The cake they got me for my 24th birthday!

Ok, so I'm sure you laughed! How could you not? It's okay :)

Hope you enjoyed all these fun pics! I had a ton of fun going through them!

Day 8

Day 8-A place you've traveled to

I have not traveled near as much as I would like to! But, one place that I absolutely loved was New York City!

The spring of my junior year of college I spent a week there doing a field study. A group of 10 or so fashion majors spent 7 days hopping around NYC visiting fashion houses and other companies relating to the fashion industry. Sounds like fun, right?! It was!

We went to the Ralph Lauren Polo house

We visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art

We visited The Gap's headquarters for product design and development (cool!)

and

Ralph Lauren Childenswear headquarters, which at the time was a separate company from the original RL. Through this visit I scored my internship, so that was pretty cool! (Sorry, I couldn't find a pic!)

Other fun things we did on this trip was visit Ground Zero. Here is what it looked like in 2003!

I also really loved Times Square! It was sooo cool! We saw Thouroughly Modern Millie on Broadway and it sparked an interest in seeing every Broadway show I possibly could!

This was such a great trip and I can't wait to go back someday as an "adult"! When I was there I was just barely 21!

What is your favorite place that you have travled??

Day 7

Day 7-Favorite movies

Yep, I'm officially a day behind. I came home sick from work Friday afternoon and slept straight through the night all the way until Saturday morning. Actually, it was almost Saturday afternoon! I had to work at 1pm so I didn't get up until 11:30. That was.... ok, doing math.... over 20 hours of sleep! I don't know if I have ever done that! I feel a little better though, although I came home from work last night and went straight to bed and I am still in bed now. (My books are are surrounding me, taunting me, saying, you need to study! Study! Study!)

So, that is why I am a day behind. My body started rebelling on me.

One good thing happened this week though! I got an A on a test that I for sure thought I was going to get a C on. I was so shocked when there was a big red A on the top (my prof has an elementary background, she even uses bells to get our attention). So, now I have A's in both my classes, although, they're below 95%, so their not too secure! =/. That is the pessimist in me talking, I'm going to work hard to keep those As!!

Ok, on to the challenge! My favorite movies!

I looooove movies. I went through a phase where I bought a new dvd every week, but I don't do that anymore. Actually, I haven't had much time to watch movies lately. I really want to go see Conviction while it's in the theaters, I just love Hillary Swank! She's fantastic! Has anyone seen it yet?

Some of my favorite movies are:

Almost Famous

Miracle

The Family Stone

Because I Said So

Elf

Serendipity

You've Got Mail

Any Harry Potter movie

We Are Marshall

P.S. I Love You

A Lot Like Love

Almost Famous is probably my all time favorite! Plus, do you notice a slight theme here? Sports movies and Christmas movies. I'm not a big sports fan but I just love sports movies, they are so inspiring! Plus, Christmas movies are the best. Christmas is my favorite holiday and movies based around Christmas really put me in the spirit!

What are some of your favorite movies?

Day 6

Day 6 allllmost didn't happen, but... here it is! :)

A picture of something that makes me happy...

There are lots of things that make me happy but nothing makes me happier than my group of friends! We are all super close and have that type of unconditional love that is so hard to find in girlfriends. (girls are vicious!)

Here is the five of us sometime over the summer when we were able to get all of us together. It hardly ever happens! When it does, you can bet on a wild night! :)

(Don't you just love the view of the sky in the background? It was totally acciental that it was included in the picture, but I just love it! So pretty! )

What are your group of girlfriends like?

Day 5!

Whew! Five day stretch of daily blogging... are you proud? I am feeling pretty good about it! I'm loving your responses and so far it's definitely stirring my love for blogging.

Ahhh, warm fuzzies. :)

So for day five I am supposed to discuss my sibling! Singular, because I've just got one! ;)

My sister is four years younger than me and is seriously one of the coolest people I know. Although, we couldn't be more different and for many years we didn't mesh well and actually... we still don't mesh well. When we're fighting, just get out. Turn your phone off and get far, far away. It's going to be a blowout.

Things are better though. Don't worry! We actually live together now and it's going very well. About six months ago my sister's roommate bailed on her and my sister pretty much freaked out because she couldn't find another roommate and couldn't afford to live on her own. At the time I was living alone and my lease was almost up. I knew that I might be going back to school and I wouldn't be able to afford luxuries like living alone anymore so I decided to get a place with her. We're doing great and have only had one blowout so far. (That is a major accomplishment for us!)

My sister is super messy and I am very neat. She is a social butterfly, where as I am not the life of the party. My sister is naturally athletic and I am kind of a klutz. My sister is about 5"8' and I am under 5"3'.

But, at the end of the day she is my sister and I would bend over backwards for her! :)

(My sister and I are on the right here pictured with two of our aunts)

What kind of a relationship do you have with your siblings?
