Days 12-15

I didn't get on here once while we were gone & I've been busy catching up at work. I want to finish this, so here are 4 days. I don't want to bore you or make this a 20 page post. 

Day 12- How you found out about blogging and why you made one
I knew about blogging in college, because I had to make a blog and keep it updated for a class. Blogging has come a LONG way in just a few short years. I made one because I thought it would be a good way to keep a digital scrapbook of our life. Who knows one day it could be famous!
Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you recently
No one has hurt me recently, so I'm not sure who I could write one to...except maybe Mother Nature! But it's fall and hurricane season, so I can only blame me for picking the time of year I did to get married!
Day 14- A picture of you and your family
I don't have a pic of my whole family, so here is one of two of my favorite family members, my nieces. Miranda and Grynlea came to visit us for Spring Break back in March and this was taken on Top of the Rock observatory. I recommend this over the Empire State building. I haven't been to the top of the Empire State, but I hear you get better views from the Top of the Rock, plus you can get the Empire State building in your pictures...oh did I mention the Top of the Rock is cheaper?

Day 15- Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs that play
Let it Go-Zac Brown Band
Love's got a hold on you-Alan Jackson
She's Country-Jason Aldean
Say Cheese-Step Up 2 Soundtrack
Flat on the Floor-Carrie Underwood
This is Your Time-Michael W. Smith
Pop, Lock, and Drop It-Huey
Ain't No Other Man-Christina Aguilera

Days 10 & 11

There may be a lot of combo days this week as we leave Thursday for Key West!! So the blog will not be on my mind much!

Day 10- Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad
I'm not a big music fan, so I don't have certain songs I like to listen to. Usually Carrie Underwood will put me in a better mood.

Day 11- Another picture of you and your friends

Out for a night in NYC

Day 9...Something you're proud of in the last few days

I guess that would have to be on Wednesday. I was very nervous about going to try on my dress because the alterations lady said that she couldn't take it out as much as I needed. I wasn't too happy when she said that. So that inspired to sign up for boot camp to lose some weight. Well...on Wednesday, I said can we take this in a little? I can see right down my dress!! I want it to lay flat. A new alterations lady, who was MUCH nicer than the lady before, said, Yes, Let me take it in a half inch on each side!!

So...I guess I lost some weight, although I don't feel like I have. :( I'm still going to keep up with boot camp because it isn't the gym & at least I'm doing something and not sitting on the couch. That's what I've been most proud the past few days.

Days 1-8...happy reading :)

Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

1. I love to read!

2. I truly 100% miss Texas and would go back every weekend if I could afford to!

3. My nieces are the world to me. I’d do anything for them.

4. As much as my mom drives me bananas, I love talking to her and miss talking to her every day on my way home from work. I love and miss her so much. She helped me realize a lot of things in life and I am so appreciative of that.

5. I actually miss commuting to work.

6. I wish I could sing.

7. I miss school and want to go back just to challenge my mind again...getting a Master’s would just be great.

8. Living in New York has been fun, but the Texas in me hates it.

9. I am marrying my best friend in 8 days!

10. I am crafty, I just never have time to start a project...and the ones I have started I never finish!

11. I love reality TV.

12. I would love to be on the Amazing Race or Survivor. I just know with Survivor I wouldn’t last & beg to go home.

13. I appreciate where life has brought me, I’ve had lots of ups and downs and traveled a lot of back roads, but I wouldn’t go back.

14. My best friends all still live in Texas and I’ve been friends with them for 20+ years!

15. I am a huge procrastinator.

The 15 things may not be “FACTS”, but hey it’s my blog & they are all about me or my feelings, I say they count. J

Day 02- The meaning behind your blog/site/user name



I have a very wandering mind & will change the subject in an instant. So, I found it fitting to name my blog “Whereever my mind takes me,” because you just never know!



My besties for 20+ years

Day 03- A picture of you and your friends.





This girl is my saving grace here Jersey. Thanks Trish for making living here bearable!

These are actually Cory's friends, but we've adopted each other. Ready to be in Houston to live closer to them!

Day 04- A habit that you wish you didn’t have

Seeing something online & falling in love with it...and then the need to have it!

Day 05- A picture of somewhere you’ve been to

Key West, Fl--where Cory & I will be getting married in 8 days! I loved it here!

 

 

Day 08- Short term goals for this month and why

Keep up with working out. It makes me happy to know that hard work pays off...even if I don’t see the numbers on the scale moving, I feel better about myself.





Day 06- Favorite super hero and why

I am going to be sappy...but my dad is my super hero. He took in my sister and me like his own. I'll always be grateful for the life he gave us. He made me the person I am today. I love him so much and he will always be my hero.

Day 07- A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

My Love
He has been my best friend for 11 years now. He has put up with me a lot and at one point told me if I screwed up again, we couldn't be friends...apparently I didn't screw up because we'll be getting married in 8 days! (Can you tell I'm excited about that?)

I stole the idea =)

I'll start this tomorrow so I can "catch" up, but my friend Kendra, copied from her friend and I thought it would give me something to do AND keep up with this blog!! So get ready for the first 8 things tomorrow!
