The ABC's Of Me- Blog Challenge Day 2

Day 2: What is something that describes you from each letter of the alphabet?

A: A.D.D. Seriously, I have the attention span of a two year- ooh, what's that, something shiny!

B: Baseball. If you have read any other posts on my blog, I'm sure you are quite aware I love baseball.

C: Chick Fil-A. I could literally eat there every day.

My love of baseball and Chick Fil-A in the same picture! :)

D: Dr Pepper. Seriously, it's like sweet nectar from heaven.

E: Elvis. I'm a big Elvis fan (and I mean that as in Elvis Presley AND Elvis Andrus). :)

Seriously, how could you not like either Elvis? :)

F: Friend. I try to be the kind of friend I would want. 

G: Guns. Nothing like going to the shooting range to let off a little steam.

Say hello to my little friend...

H: History. I love learning about history. I've been known to plan vacations around what kind of museums I can see while I'm there. :)

I: Ice cream. I love me some Blue Bell!

J: Jesus follower. I think this speaks for itself!

K: Kindhearted. Well, I try to be. Unless you cut me off in traffic, then I unleash my wrath. :) But seriously, I hate hurting someone's feelings, so I try my best to be nice in (most) circumstances. 

L: Laugh. I love to laugh and to make other people laugh. I make myself laugh all the time, I feel I'm quite funny, I could have my own comedy TV show. :)

See, my nephew E thinks I'm funny! :)

M: Musicals. I enjoy a good Broadway show, or a classic Rodgers and Hammerstein production.

N: Nerd. It's true, and not like book smart nerd, I'm just overall nerdy. ;)

O: Old movies. I love watching the classics. Especially anything with Audrey Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, Gregory Peck, or Cary Grant. I love them all. Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is my favorite cable station!

P: Pictures. I take lots AND lots of pictures (in case you haven't noticed).

Q: Queso. I love queso, oh so much. I'm pretty sure it should be in a food group all by itself!

R: Reader. I love to read. I have so many books my friends borrow from me instead of a library! 

S: Silly. I tend to be very silly sometimes. Again, have you read my blog at all? :)

I also have silly friends! :)

T: Talkative. If you ever meet my family, you'll know where I get it from. Good luck trying to get a word in at any family function! :)

U: Unique. I know, it's cheating to use this word because EVERYONE is unique. But, I'm using it anyways! How many other gals do you know who love Steve Avery, Chick Fil-A, Dick Van Dyke, and will spend money to go see the surviving members of The Monkees in concert? Yeah, didn't think so. Side note: Yes, I'm going to a Monkees concert tonight. Be very jealous. :)

V: Vivacious. Someone I work with used this word to describe me recently, I had to use it, it made me laugh.

W: Writer. Obviously, I mean, I have a blog, I must love to write. I also used to be a sports writer for a newspaper (I know, shocker!) :) And I've been trying to write a novel for some time, it's a slow process. :)

X: X-ray. Thanks to a few car accidents and also my own clumsiness, I've had more than my share of X-rays done. And seriously, how many words start with "X"? I never played the xylophone so I couldn't use that one. 

Y: Young at heart. I sometimes forget I'm not as young as I used to be, but hey, you are only as old as you act feel, right? ;)

Z: Zoo. I love going to the zoo. I'm hoping my sweet great-nephews and my new great-niece will come see me soon so we can go visit the Dallas Zoo again! :)

I just realized this picture is three years old. My little monkeys need to come back for another zoo trip! :)

Hope everyone has a great weekend!! Thanks for all the positive feedback on my challenge! Again, leave me a link to your blog if you participate. I look forward to your posts!

XOXO!

It's OK, Blog Challenge and an UPSET in the March Madness Bracket!

It's OK...

...that I have an obsession with buying Rangers purses and handbags. I got this one in the mail yesterday (courtesy of my free Amazon gift card!) :)

 

...that I used the rest of my gift card to buy movies. Is it obvious I like old movies? :)

I bought this one because I had a huge crush on Charlie Schlatter when he was on Diagnosis Murder. :)

...that I might actually watch an awards show. Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton are hosting the ACM Awards this weekend. I love them, I'm gonna have to watch (or in this case, record and watch later, there will be a Rangers game on at the same time. I have my priorities). :)

...that I may or may not be streaming the Elvis Andrus press conference while I am at work on my lunch break.

March Madness- MAJOR UPSET!!

A number one seed has fallen. I'll be honest, when I first started this bracket I was POSITIVE this guy would make the Final Four (possibly win it all). But alas, we have an upset. So, here it is, my Final Four.

I know!! I can't believe that Ryan Gosling was eliminated! After ALL the Ryan Gosling memes and pictures I've posted on Pinterest (and my blog), I was sure he would be safe. But low and behold, Jensen Ackles came in and took it away from him. Maybe it's because I started watching Supernatural again on Netflix? Who knows. I'm sure this will be a bracket buster for a lot of people who thought they knew my final choices. I'll post the two going into the Final Championship round on Monday's blog.

XOXO!!
