Day 16 - A picture of someone who inspires you

Although I have plenty of heroes that I could have chosen for this challenge, I picked Julia Roberts' character in the book/movie "Eat Pray Love" because of her bravery.  Not enough people (me included) really get to know ourselves because we spend so much time serving the needs of others-- which is good, but this book (an movie) made me question how much good I can really do in the world unless I take care of myself.  She inspires me to do more in that vein.

Day 15 - A picture of something you want to do before you die

I want to travel to all 50 states at least once before I die.  I also want to travel the world, but unless a practically free trip lands in my lap I'm not leaving the country until I've been to all 50!  So far I've been to Alabama (duh), Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennesse, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia (13/50) so I'm off to a decent start!

Hello All

So, I just wanted to say Hello All!  I have been silent for a few weeks...not intentionally, but I went on an AWESOME spring break trip with mi amiga Jamie & now that I'm back home, I'm back at work and we have ARMT & SAT tests & I'm about to start IEP season.  Basically, I'm just laying low out of laziness, but promise to at least finish the 30 day photo challenge before the end of April (that's a reasonable month and a half blog goal, right?).  So, until my next post, I wish you all well.  Maybe I'll stay awake later than 8 pm sometime this week and finally get back on the blogging bandwagon.

We can hope.

Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without

This one was prett simple.  Basically, I can divide my life into two sections-- BW & AW (Before Wes and After Wes).  My favorite part is definitely the AW years.  Thank you JW for making my world amazing.  I could never put into words how much I love this wonderful, handsome, indescribable man.

Day 13 - A picture of your favorite band or artist

This paticular one is so very, very hard!  I LOVE so many different types of music.  Its also hard because this list is ever-changing.  My favorites change.  So, I guess I'll just do it by category:

Country:

Brad Paisley's lyrics can make me laugh, cry, and be inspired all on one album.  The man knows how to tell a story through a song, and for that I love him.

Rock:

Shinedown.  Awesome beats, lyrics, and voice.  Their new album-- "The Sound of Madness" is the best yet.

Classic Rock:

I loved Bon Jovi when I was in 5th grade.  I love Bon Jovi (their 80's stuff) even now.  Plus, I've always thought that Jon was HOT (for an old man).

Rap:

Young Jeezy just has a way of getting me pumped up.  He's my favorite artist to roll down the road with the speakers blasting through the sunroof.  SO addicting!

Pop:

Katy Perry is my fave in this category not just for her music.  I love her personality.  I love to read interviews with her.  And, as a bonus, I love her husband (Russell Brand).

Overall:

The Beatles have to be my ultimate favorite.  I might not listen to their music all the time, but I probably love more songs by them than just about any other group ever.  They're timeless, which I totally dig.

Day 12 - A picture of something you love

 

This lovely stuff is my FAVORITE.  I love ice cream in general, but this particular flavor tops them all.  In my humble opinion, its even better than more expensive types such as Cold Stone and Marble Slab.  Best of all, its made right here in my hometown-- Sylacauga, AL.  Try it...your only regret will be that you didn't try it sooner!

Day 11 - A picture of something you hate

Can you guess what this little bugger is??? (scroll down to see answer)













If you guessed the flu virus, you are correct.  Unfortunately, this little "friend" decided to visit me yesterday.  Somehow, my body welcomed him with open arms.  I don't really understand how that happened since I got the flu shot this year.  Which, actually makes me hate this all the much more.  I endured a SHOT and STILL got sick!!!  So, I don't even feel guilty (which I usually do if I hate something) when I say I HATE the flu!!!

Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most

Like the words of the old hym go, "Without Him I could do nothing.  Without Him I'd surely fail.  "Without Him I would be drifting, like a ship without a sail..."
