day 9

day 9: a picture of your family

well, since i used my newest favorite family photo in day 7 (i think), i don't want to use the same picture twice. here's a family shot from last year:

dad, mom, me, K, Generic

ok, so this photo was taken last year at thanksgiving. unbeknownst to us, my sister K (red sweater) was already about 2 months pregnant with the Nuggette AND LIED TO OUR FACES ABOUT IT, THE LITTLE BUGGER. so the rest of us, thinking everything was fine and dandy, let her go on a quad ride, and kept refilling her wine glass at dinner (thanks dad) only to be sneakily drunk by my brother-in-law Generic (far right). right before this photo was taken, K hissed, "Hide my stomach!" because she already had a little bit of a baby bump. the little buttheads. all was forgiven, though, once this gorgeous little Nuggette was born:

what. a. CUTIE!!!

day 8

a picture of your favorite band/musician:

love her love her love her. she has great music, an incredible voice, and still made sure to finish college after becoming famous. you can also bet that i voted for her on American Idol, too.

(current) Favorite Song: Cowboy Cassanova

yet again, i've fallen off the bandwagon

ok, so i really did get off to a good start with the 30-day-challenge thing. buuut, then i was getting ready for christmas. and then my whole family came over for christmas. and then we were all busy stuffing our faces full of holiday goodies (or was that just me?). and then i went to seattle for new years. and then i got home and had a whole lot of stuff hit me all at once, SO I'VE BEEN A BIT BUSY. anyway, i WILL finish this!

day 7

A photo of someone you love:

I love lots o' people. My family, first and foremost, and my friends, of course, so it's almost impossible to pick just one. So let's include the really important ones first:

and these fools fo sho....

day 6

A photo that makes you laugh:

During my first summer in southern Oregon, I was lucky enough to get hired at the local movie theater. Lets just say that even though we were required to "work", that rarely happened. More often than not, we'd goof off for hours on end, as exemplified in this photo. The Good Old Days for sure.

Day 5: A photo of you

This pic is about 5 years old (seriously!?!? time flies), but I still love it. Mol was my sophomore year roommate, and probably the best one I ever had. This was from the day where we decided we needed a break from studying for finals, so a group of us went to the park near campus to play on the playground equipment like little kids. Our friend Mae took this pic while on the merry-go-ride, where I remember I was starting to get so dizzy I thought I was going to get sick. Ah the days of being footloose and fancy free....except for those pesky classes.

day 4

A Photo of the last place you went on holiday:

Just a month ago, I surprised Grace (far left) for her birthday by flying back to Philly for 4 days. We spent 2 days in Philly, and then drove to DC to spend another few days exploring the Capitol. I love these people - I practically lived with them my last year in college, and whenever we get back together, it seems like no time has passed at all. They're some of the best, funniest, kindest people I know.
(not sure if you can tell in the photo, but I was silently suffering from one of the world's worst head colds that i caught, of course, on the plane ride OVER and decided to manifest its wrath on the day before i left. figures)
