Alrighty! Today I get to talk about a fictional book I enjoy. I've already talked about Dream When You're Feeling Blue 

and everyone already knows how much I love Twilight, so I will pick something different :). I'm not finished with this book yet so I can't give a review, but I am currently reading L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad. It's supposed to be about a young girl who moves to LA to work but gets hired for a reality show... sound familiar?? (for those of you that DON'T know, Lauren Conrad, or LC, was on 2 little reality shows. Laguna Beach and The Hills.) It's pretty good so far! I'm about halfway through, so when I finish I'll write more about it :).

Ok so I missed blogging all weekend. Saturday I wasn't home. I went and saw The Last Exorcism... which I'll blog about later. Sunday night I had to work and let me tell you, it was INSANE! I was way too tired to type last night. So I am making up for it and posting all 3 in one! :)
 
 
#10- A photo of me over 10 years ago. 
 Well this was a long time ago. i have no clue how old I am in this one. But I have to show you this picture :)
 
It's not as good as the picture of me because I took it with my phone, but it's Murray in her toy box :)
 

#11- a picture of me recently. Hmm. Well this was at the beginning of the month with my sweet friend Nicole.
 
And here's another one just because I love all my blog readers :) Again, it's blurry because it's from my phone. 

 

#12- Something you are OCD about. Ok well this one is an easy one for me. Now, most of you are going to think I am a total weirdo after this but that's ok :). I have their weird water phobia/ocd thing. I only can drink water from a water bottle that was sealed. Which alot of people are like that, but it gets worse. I tend to freak out of I leave my water bottle somewhere out of sight and then I can't drink it anymore. Ok for example, I open a water bottle and leave it in the kitchen. I decided to go in the living room for a few minutes and my mom is in the kitchen. I go back to get my water and I panic. The thoughts that go through my head are this: I wonder who drank out of my water bottle, and then I wonder if someone poured old water into my bottle. So then, I can't drink it anymore, even though I only took one sip. Yes, it is weird. I know that! That is something I am ocd about :).

 Alright. A photo I took is todays task. There's a lot for me to choose from! Ok, here's one from Savannah, Ga. My mom and I took a trip there a few years ago and we saw this GORGEOUS church! It was so pretty. That was such a fun trip! We almost got locked in a graveyard, we ate chocolate covered apples at midnight, mom jumped on the bed alot. It was so fun! :)

I've been loving doing this 30 day journal! Somedays I can't think of anything to blog about and I don't want to bore you guys with random stuff all the time, so this is a good way to make sure I have something at least for 30 days. But, I'll be honest. I was not excited when I saw what today was. A picture that makes you angry or sad. Ok, there's been too much of sad for me the past couple months. Yes there have been some great things that have happened in the last 65 days (such as my awesome friend Sarah getting married) but it's been a rough 2 months. BUT, I took on this 30 day challenge and I am sticking to it. So, instead of posting a picture that makes me sad, I am going to post a picture that makes me angry. If you noticed what color I highlighted today's topic with, you will see it's orange. The fact is I HATE orange. I don't wear orange. I don't own orange. And this is why.
 
 
I HATE CLEMSON. Let me repeat that. I HATE CLEMSON. Now, some of you might have no clue what I'm talking about. College football is a big deal here in the south. I am a diehard GAMECOCKS fan. I will always be a Gamecock fan. Simple as that. So that picture of the tiger paw makes me angry. But, this picture makes me happy!

This could be bad.



Talk about yummy! I was at walmart today getting a couple of things and I had to stop in my tracks because these looked just like the Girl Scout cookies... So I got a pack to try. Wow. They taste almost exactly like the Samoas. SOOO good. Someone come take them from me!!!!

It's day 5 of my 30 day journal and I'm supposed to tell you all about my favorite quote. The thing is, I have never really thought about what my favorite quote actually is. I have a few that I love and like a lot, but not necessarily a favorite. So, this is a quote I saw not too long ago that I really like.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us." - Helen Keller

I am loving this 30 day journal! I'm super excited that my IRL (in real life) friend is joining with me and starting her own 30 day journal! Show her some bloggy love! 
 
Today I get to talk about my favorite book. This is a toughy. If you have read my blog at all, you know that I am obsessed with Twilight. Just look... my 22 birthday party and Eclipse premiere. So of course it's my favorite book series (as well as favorite movie series), but I think I need to tell about another favorite book since everyone knows of my not so secret love of Twilight. 
 
 
 
Dream When You're Feeling Blue by Elizabeth Berg is one of my other favorites. It's about a girl in the 1940s WWII era dating a soldier. I am terrible at giving books and movies away. Just ask my friend Paige lol. One time she was reading a book and I told her the ending and she was so mad at me. Anyways... Seriously I thought this book was awesome. Until I read the ending. There was NO reason for it to end the way it did and I am still mad about it. But I have read it 3 times, so I definitely didn't hate it obviously! I think one reason I loved it so much is because I love the 1940s so much. Go read the book and then come back and tell me what you think. Ok? Ok. :)

Good morning bloggy world! Murray is off in her own little world playing with her new broom she got yesterday, so I am taking advantage of that and blogging early! Today in my 30 day journal I get to talk about my favorite tv show! This is another time where I can't just pick one, so I am doing my top 3 again! 
1. Army Wives!- This is one of those shows where you pretty much cry in every episode! I know it probably isn't super realistic but it's so good. PLUS, it's filmed in Charleston (my favorite place ever). I read the book too and it's just as good as the show! Trevor/Roxy, Chase, and Frank are my favorites. I'm so ready for tomorrow night's episode to see what happens!!!! FYI, if you don't watch it, you can check it out 
online HERE.
2. Grey's Anatomy- Another great one. Season 2 will always be my favorite season. I have them all on dvd (and army wives too). Any episode with Denny makes me cry; IDK why but it does. Especially the one where he dies. So sad. I still cry like an idiot every time I see that episode. 


Oh boy, did I mention McSteamy and McDreamy????? :) Enjoy 
 

3. Keeping Up With the Kardashians- Say what you want, but I LOVE the Kardashian sisters! And Rob. They are so hilarious! Me and my friend Nicole joke all the time! I am Kourtney because I have a baby, she is Kim, and our friend Sarah is Khloe because she's married now. Someone take me to California so I can go to Dash! :)




Ok, it's your turn. I want to know what YOUR favorite TV show is!!! Happy Saturday!

Today I am supposed to talk about my favorite movie. I bet you can't guess what it is. I'll give you 3 choices... Twilight, Twilight, or Twilight? DING DING DING! If you guessed Twilight you were right!!! :) I am what you would call a twihard. Yes, I am obsessive when it comes to Twilight and I am ok with that. I really REALLY want to visit Forks one day. I really really REALLY wish Jasper Hale was real haha.
 

Oh so gorgeous :)

My big girl!

Murray had her 18 month check up today and she was 20lb 12 oz! Yay! Now that might not seem alot to some people, but trust me. She's come along way from 4lb 8oz to 20lb 12 oz! Just look!

Not even a day old...


Isn't she cute? :)

She's so funny. She loves to play with a broom. Why? Don't ask me... I hate sweeping lol. Here's one more picture I took today. It's one of my favorites of her ever I think!
