Thursday Fun...

I have seen this idea on a few blogs, and thought I would do it too.  Plus I'm really bored while the kids are watching "Ice Age".  (They are being rewarded for eating a great lunch and playing well together)

These are a few of my favorite things:

1) favorite coffee:

Peppermint Mocha (even thought it makes my tummy hurt)

2) favorite movie:

Story Of Us.  Hands down.

3) Favorite Music:

Missy Higgins.  She is awesome

4) favorite pastries:

Cupcakes!

5) favorite TV series...

Friends.  Psh.  As if there's anything better.

6) favorite cocktail:

Greyhound (vodka grapefruit juice)  so yummy.

7) favorite dessert:

Brownies with icecream.  Come to mama.

8) favorite city:

New York (specifically SoHo)

9) favorite furniture store:

World Market.  I love how unique their stuff is.

9) favorite clothing store:

Anthropologie.  Duh.  

So, if you're bored, you should do this, it's really fun!!

Oh, I'm special!!

I just got tagged by the inspiring Mojito Maven with the "Bookworm Award" and the "Kreative Blogger Award"!

Ok, so the Bookworm Award first....

Here are the rules:

Pass it on to six other bloggers and tell them to open the book closest to them to page 56.  Write out the fifth sentence on that page, and the following few sentences.  The CLOSEST BOOK!  NOT YOUR FAVORITE OR MOST INTELLECTUAL!

The Case Against Barack Obama...the unlikely rise and unexamined agenda of the media's favorite candidate-By David Freddoso

Page 56: 

"Reagan's overt ideological rigor forms an essential part of his story.  it helped him create a new conservatism that later severed the Republican Party from the nostrums of the Nixon era.  it formed a large part of his appeal to voters." 

Sorry, not too exciting, but I swear it was the closest book to me!!

Ok so the rules for this one are 6 things you value and 6 things you don't.  Thank you so much Mojito Maven for tagging me!

 ok, so 6 things I value in no particular order are:

1)Family

2)Being in love with the man of my dreams.  Without this, I don't know what my life would be like.

3)Friends.  My friendships help me get through every single day and constantly challenge me to better myself.

4) Honesty.  

5) Helping others; being good to others.  

6)My faith.

Things I don't value:

1) Liars, arrogance and negativity (these tend to go together)

2) Selfishness/selfish friends.  I cannot be in a friendship that is one sided.  It has to be a balance.

3) Deception

4) Greed

5) My weight (working on it though!)

6) Politicians  

Ok, so now I tag:
