Life is a Highway

[source]

Newgravy and I haven't made any lists in a WHILE (besides our funny hatelist on facebook which is not positive enough to post on my blog) =) Our negativity is all in good fun. So today I'm going to make a 23 before 24 list. As I wrote a few posts ago, I just turned 23. There is a ton of stuff I'd LOVE to do before I turn 24. I'm already 13 days into 23 and haven't done one of them. Maybe if I make the list I'll be more productive!?

23 before 24

  1. Graduate college (so I'll actually be 24 when I graduate BUT it'll be a few days after my       birthday so this is my only cheater goal, I'll be taking finals on my birthday or near it)

  2. Buy a fancy pair of jeans and get them tailored to fit perfect

  3. Revamp my wardrobe/style (including shoe collection)

  4. Make some kind of tofu recipe

  5. Go on at least 15 new dates with Kyle (not our same regular restaurants, movies, sports       games)

  6. Take more pictures of my parents

  7. Learn how to properly use a curling iron without just being able to make my hair flip out

  8. Attempt to water ski again

  9. Buy Kelly Cutrone's book If You Have to Cry Go Outside (have I ever mentioned on here     she is my complete PR/power girl inspiration!)

  10. Bake my dog treats

  11. Redo my bedroom in "grown-up" colors

  12. Help plan a themed party

  13. Make a dish for Thanksgiving

  14. Document an entire day in my life in camera

  15. Take my dog to walk up Kennesaw Mountain again

  16. Have a batting average over 500 by the end of the season

  17. Go visit Mark in Tallahassee

  18. Run/Fast Walk a marathon

  19. Find new places in Atlanta to play trivia

  20. Make my family start recycling

  21. Go to Nashville (after it's fixed from the floods) =(

  22. Go to a flea market/find new thrift stores to check out

  23. Volunteer for a charity (I will take any charitable suggestions)

Woo 23 is a lot more than I thought. Even if I get half of these done, I will be happy!

Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999

The other day at work we were talking about classic things, toys, styles, tv shows, etc. So we decided for the next list to do a list of childhood favorites! Even though I was born in the 80's, I was predominantly a 90's kid and I LOVED my childhood (even my mullet phase shown below this post). I am an only child but I always found ways to entertain myself and I always wanted friends to come to my house to play because I thought I always had all the cool stuff!

So here's to the 90's!!!

1. My Tired Tom Doll [I have no idea what the original name of this doll was but to this day I still have mine and I was even able to find a new one on ebay that I bought just so I could have an original maybe to give to my child?] Tired Tom

2. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen [I LOOOOVED old Mk&A ... not so much now]

3. Beauty and the Beast [best Disney movie EVER]

4. Lisa Frank anything [but especially folders and pencils]

5. Spirograph

6. Old Nickelodeon shows [anything from Doug, Rocko's Modern Life, Ah Real Monsters, Salute your Shorts, Are You Afraid of the Dark, All That, old Rugrats pre Kimi, anything with Stick Stickly]

7. Legos

8. Always rocking a topsy tail, even during my mullet phase

9. Jenny Gymnast

10. Baby Alive

11. Babysitters Club

12. Easy Bake Oven

13. Super Nintendo and ANY game that went with it! [Mostly Super Mario World, Mario Kart, Dr. Mario and Zelda]

14. Tomagatchis

15. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

16. The Skip-It contests my best friend and I used to have

17. Eureka's Castle

18. Polly Pockets

19. Mad Libs [I mean I was kind of a nerd, but these things still make me laugh]

20. Magna Doodles

I think that I wouldn't be as happy if I didn't grow up in the 90's. I believe I rocked my childhood!!!

Thank You For Bein a Friend

Wow I haven't blogged in a long time. I stink! I have been pretty busy, and haven't felt too inspired to blog anyway. But now I have a reason. Megan and I love lists (her probably a lot more than me). So we decided we are going to blog new lists ever week. They are all going to be random. Probably a lot of top 10 stuff. But hopefully it will be pretty interesting to see, and maybe after a while some people will give us ideas for more interesting lists!

I like this week's list a lot. We both schedule a lot of our activities around the opportunity to live vicariously through some of our favorite tv characters. Sometimes television life seems much more interesting than my own. =) So this week's list is ...

TV Besties!!!

Here are my top 10 tv friendships that I have grown to love over the seasons. Enjoy =)

1. Friends

[Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Pheobe, and Joey]

I couldn't pick a favorite in this cast. I love them all and Friends will ALWAYS be my favorite sitcom!!!

2. How I Met Your Mother

[Lily, Marshall, Ted, Robin, Barney]

This group of friends cracks me up! I also love that like Central Perk on Friends, the HIMYM cast has McClarens bar, I wish I lived above somewhere I could hang out with my friends all the time!)

3. Sex and the City

[Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, Samantha]

These girls are tried and true New Yorkers. Even though I've sadly never been to New York I know I would find a way to fit in PERFECTLY in the city. I would definitely need a group of girls like this to keep me entertained though! =)

4. One Tree Hill

[Haley and Lucas]

I love that they've been friends forever and no matter what they are always there for each other through all of the drama One Tree Hill has to offer.

5. Dawson's Creek

[Dawson and Joey]

I will have to admit, I'm very glad in the end Joey picked Pacey because I LOVED her and Dawson as friends more than the 2 of them as a couple!

6. Fresh Prince

[Will and Carlton]

Ever since I moved to Ga, I've been best friends with my cousin so I love the relationship of these 2. We're not quite as much of polar opposites as Will and Carlton however, I love that no matter how much they pick on each other, they always stick up for the other.

7. Gossip Girl

[Dan and Vanessa]

It was a hard decision for me on Gossip Girl and I know that now D and V are more than just friends BUT I love the 2 of them together no matter what they are!

8.Grey's Anatomy

[Christina and Meredith]

These 2 have such busy work lives that it's great that no matter what they always have each other to lean on and they spend so much time together they usually can relate to what the other's going through. They will always be each other's "person."

9. Boy Meets World

[Corey and Sean]

Boy Meets World will always be one of the greatest shows. I'm glad that through everything Corey and Sean always stuck together and were basically brothers!

10. I Love Lucy

[Lucy and Ethel]

Lucy and Ethel will always be a classic. I can remember my best friend from Iowa and I watching I Love Lucy reruns on Nick at Night for hours. The friendship of these 2 never ceases to make me laugh!

Well that's all for the first list! Ha there probably won't be as much detail next time but it was still fun to make!
