Day 30 of 30

Day 30- Your favorite song.
I'd like to start this by saying that I think it's really lame to end these 30 days asking what my favorite song it.  Like any good relationship, these are the things you find out early on, rather than 30 days down the road.  Just sayin'.

Anyhow - boyfriend hit the nail on the head when he said "I think your favorite song would be Forgot About Dre".  You know, by Eminem and Dr. Dre.  I couldn't agree more.  I LOVE that song, love rapping to it (both Dre and Em's parts)... it makes me happy.

I like and love a lot of songs... but none stick out in my head as much as this one does.

Thus ends my 30 solid straight days of blogging.  I rock, I finished something!

Day 28 of 30

Day 28- A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?

Last year Christmas with #1 Niece:

This year, Thanksgiving with cousins:

How have I changed?  My hair has grown... and... that's about it - and that is just fine by me!

Sorry I'm lame today, we just had to dig out of what felt like 27 feet of snow.  and... the Metrodome, where the Minnesota Vikings play, well the dome collapsed.  That is lame.  Happy Sunday everyone.

Day 27 of 30

Day 27- Why are you doing this 30 day challenge
Honestly, I started it because I needed a reason to blog.  I had kind of lost interest and didn't really feel like I had much to blog about.  Most days have been fun for me to write about, but some have been pretty lame.

Overall, I'm glad that I've been doing it and hope that you people haven't been bored with me posting daily AND that you've learned something about me.  I know a few of the days have been pretty honest deep postings.

Hopefully I'll continue blogging and you all will continue reading!

Happy Saturday :)

Day 26 of 30

Day 26- What you think about your friends
Hahaha!  As if I say something like 'I hate them and hope they rot in hell'.  Well maybe a few of them... ;)

This one seems kind of silly to me, of course I love my friends, each in their own way and I don't feel like it's right to sit here and list their names and what I think about them.  I have too many friends I love to do that.  They wouldn't be my friends if I didn't care for them.

I wish I saw some of them more often, but life happens and as we grow older, our schedules start to fill up.  It's just a part of life.

So... in short - I love my friends, all for different reasons!

Day 25 of 30

Day 25- What I would find in your bag 
It depends which bag you're looking in.
In my camera bag you'd find: My Nikon D60 along with 3 lenses (standard 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, 35mm f/1.8 Prime Lens, and (I think) I have a 70-300mm lens, but those numbers may be wrong, I don't use it often as it's HEAVY!).  I also have some past photo hunt lists in the bag, probably some gum, and not much else.

In my purse you'd find: my wallet, checkbook, a comb, chap stick, drugs (the legal kind), gum, papers (check stubs, coupons, photo hunt lists), hair things, keys, phone, sunglasses, pens, lotion, hand sanitizer, a pumpkin pez dispenser with Pez in it, period stuff...
I think that about sums it up!!

Boring, huh?

Day 24 of 30

Day 24- A letter to your parents
I've kind of been dreading this day... don't get me wrong, I love my parents, but my mind is instantly drawn to negative and past hurt.  It makes me all weird feeling inside.  I know I won't be able to get through this without tearing up.
My parents are divorced, so I'm going to write them each a letter, separately.

Father -
I love you; sometimes there is nothing more to be said.  I have completely forgiven you, which is something I never thought I'd be able to say; it feels really good.  I don't know if I understand completely, and maybe I'm not supposed to, but I feel like I have a small understanding.  Maybe we should talk again, now that I've had time to heal.
Sometimes I wish that you hadn't left and moved away, but I also try to realize that I'm probably a better person for it - you would have continued to give me everything I wanted and I probably would have never learned how to do things on my own :).  Your happiness is most important and I know that it had nothing to do with how you felt about me, or Jason.
You've helped raise me into an amazing person and I have such wonderful memories of you growing up.  I feel like we continue to make those memories, me as an adult and you as an old man.

Thank you for being a wonderful father to me, thank you for keeping my secrets and thank you for never giving up and always knowing what is best for me, even when I may not.
Simply put, father, I love you and I know you love me too. :-)


Mother -
I wish I understood why I have such a hard time with you.  I wish that I could accept you for the person that you are; you aren't who you used to be.  I think change is good and I know you've been through a lot, but in all honesty; could it all have been avoided?  I hate you for dragging me into the things you've done, I hate that you made me a part of that.  I was young and didn't know any better, but you did.  I like to pretend that it doesn't bother me and it's not like I think about it every time I look at you, but deep down, I do think about it.  You should have protected me from those things - YOU are the mother.
I want to have a relationship with you like a lot of girls have with their mothers, I just feel like we are completely different people and it makes it hard.
You are a smart person, you need to believe in yourself and apply yourself.  I feel like you have low self-esteem and there is no reason for that.  Stop, take a breath, listen to people around you, and you'll be better because of it.  You can do things on your own aside from going to the movies.

On the upside, mom, you have been wonderful to me and I'm sorry that I'm such a bitch to you.  I really don't want to be; I get frustrated.  You're open and honest and, like me, you love with your whole heart; that is rare these days.  I hope that we can be better friends when the day comes that I no longer live with you, maybe the distance will be good for us.  I do love you, you are my mother.  I hope that you find true happiness in your life, you do deserve that.

Day 23 of 30

Day 23- Something you crave for a lot
So I think this means something I crave, right?  "crave for a lot" doesn't compute completely.

I crave a lot of things; salty snacks, attention, material possessions.
Boyfriend gives me attention, so I don't have to crave it.
Material possessions are ... too expensive ... so I just long for them.
Salty snacks are within my means to purchase and, trust me, I do.  A few of my faves:

Day 22 of 30

Day 22- What makes you different from everyone else
Nothing outstanding.  I'm not normal but if I sat here and listed all the things that I think makes me different from everyone, most of you would probably say "OMG, me too!" which wouldn't really make me that different, now would it?!

I think we all have our issues that we think are unique to us, but they're not; everyone has issues and things that make them special (in a good or bad way)...

I'm just me.  I guess that makes me different than everyone else, right?  I'm not you.. or you... or that guy over there.

Day 21 of 30

Day 21- A picture of something that makes you happy

I love that my kitty loves my boyfriend.  There are few things that make me happier than seeing Steve come over and give Boomer love, even though he is allergic to cats.  Boomer loves him right back and it's pretty much the cutest thing ever!

I've got great men in my life!

Day 20 of 30

Day 20- Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future
I've never been the type of girl to write my name on my folders with a boy's last name... wait... ok, maybe in like 4th grade, but it doesn't count if I can't remember their names, right?
Anywhoozle - My future is with Steve.  I've always known I deserve the best in my life, after-all, I give my best; why shouldn't I get the same in return?  I never knew what it felt like to be the center of someone's world until I met Steve.  He is loyal, he is honest, he is hilarious, he is fun, he is my best friend.

The things we do together, the time we share just being stupid fun is reason enough for waking up in the morning.  He cooks me eggs every weekend, he tries new things just to make me happy (and in turn ends up happy he tried them), he calls me everyday when he gets off work, he is absolutely everything to me.

I love him, with my whole heart.  He loves me, with his whole heart.

We are completely in love.

Day 19 of 30

Day 19- Nicknames you have; why do you have them
The only real nickname I have is Dee, which is short for my full nickname, Dee-Da-Da.
The story is simple, when my cousin, Katie, was little she could not say Angela, she said Dee-Da-Da.  It stuck to a few in my family, my dad started calling me that, then a few of my friends... it's tamed off a bit since.  My aunt still calls me Dee all the time.  A couple of my friends do... and I think my dad occasionally does.

Other than that, I guess Ang is technically is a nickname, even though it's just short for my real name.  Ang is what I want people to call me if we have a relationship, or if I introduce myself as Ang... then it's cool.  My blogger friends - you better call me Ang, cause that's how I roll around these parts.  I don't do Angie, but Angela is also acceptable.

Day 18 of 30

Day 18- Plans/dreams/goals you have
Is it wrong to not have goals?  Does it make me a loser?  You can be honest.

I know I should set goals so that I have something to work towards, but I've always been horrible about reaching my goals.. or I will set goals that are no where within my reach, so then I just let myself down.  OR.. I just get lazy.
I've had this Hawaii trip booked for MONTHS... I've had MONTHS to hit the gym and get in the shape I want to be for bikini wearing... am I in that shape?  Have I met a simple goal of going at least 10 times a month?  It's only 10 times... why is that so fricken hard?  Do I have such a busy life that I can't spare 60 minutes for the gym, nope.

So goals are out.

Dreams - I have a lot of dreams, but mostly the ones that, again, are unattainable.  Dreams like If I won the lottery I'd have my dream home or I'd pay off the mortgages of my loved ones.  Great dreams, yes, but just not a reality.

Plans... well, I have plans.  Shit, planning is my middle name.  That's right, Ang Planning.  Don't act like it's not normal.
Plans is: Hawaii in February.  Before or Beyond that is out of my control, for the moment.

I know, I suck on many levels.

Day 17 of 30

Can you believe it's already December?  It's my birthday month... so I'm pretty stoked.

Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why
I'm thankful this 30 days is more than half over because I feel pretty lame over some of my answers, but I'm 227% committed to doing this.
My initial thought was Katy Perry to see how it feels to be talentless and rich.  Then I thought I could come up with something better than that.  So then I started thinking about historical/political figures... you know, the ones that are still alive - but I quickly turned away from that idea as I felt the pressure would be too much.

So, what did I come up with?  A boy, duh!  Any boy really.  I want to know what it feels like to have a penis dangle off the front of my body.  I want to know what it feels like to not have boobs.  I want to know how in the world they don't need to carry a purse.
Would I masturbate?  Yes!
Would I pee standing up?  Yes!
Would I walk around with my shirt off?  YES!
Would I hit on hot chicks?  Absolutely!

I'm a simple person with simple wishes.

Day 16- Another picture of yourself
This is me.. about 2 years ago, December of 2008, in wine country.  I choose to post this picture because it was taken just a couple of weeks before I cut my hair and donated it to Locks of Love.  I miss my long hair and like to remember it ... should I grow it that long again?

Day 13 of 30

Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you recently
I don't really do hurt anymore.  I don't know that I can even think of someone to write this letter to.  I've tried really hard to surround myself with positive people and not let myself get brought into negative situations.

Okay - I've been thinking about this one for days and I simply can't come up with someone to write to... so this day is lame.

Day 12 of 30

Day 12- How you found out about Blogger and why you made one
I used to blog on myspace (which is now My___, lame huh?).  I did it for fun, I did it to be silly and to make people laugh.  Then I kind of got into it and thought why not do this for a reason? So I started to blog, still on Myspace, about trips and things in my life.  My girlfriend, Kristi, kept urging me to get off myspace and get a real blog, so one day I did.  The obvious choice for me was blogger, as it's a Google product and... free.  So I started Football, Sushi, and The Pursuit of Happiness... and the rest is history that you can read all about just by clicking around!  Fun, huh?

Day 11 of 30

Day 11- Another picture of you and your friends
Since it's Thanksgiving and such a huge family event, I'm going to post a photo of 2 of my very best friends (who also happen to be my cousins), Shannon and Michelle.  If you've been with me for awhile, you'll know that the 3 of us spend weekends up North together every summer and we have sleepovers and we pretty much love each other.
This photo is from ... I think 2 summers ago, 2008.  We go up North and stay at our aunt's cabin - which is within walking distance of many bars on the lake.  We get drunk, sing Karaoke, flirt with boys, and then walk home (or get a ride).  So this is after the bar, at... I think like 3:30 am, sitting outside the bar.  Drunk.  It's complete good times with these two ... I don't know what I would do without them!

Oh hell... have a couple more because we are full on hotness! 

I love you outcasts!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone - I hope your day is blessed!
