30 Days of Pictures

DAY 30 - My most treasured item:

I'm sure there are lots of things I have that are worth more, or are more valuable to me. But when it comes right down to it, after my dogs and cats, the first thing I'm grabbing if my house is on fire is going to be my Ventolin HFA. Photo albums are great, but they aren't going to save my life when I'm wheezing from smoke inhalation. I guess you could say I treasure my life, and thus, I treasure my inhaler.

DAY 29 - My favorite hobby:


In the winter, I love to crochet. Which is good, because I also really love to buy yarn at ACMoore!

DAY 28 - Someone inspiring:

Jane Austen was the kind of writer that I wish I was, but don't have the drive, focus, or imagination to be. I wouldn't mind being just like her, except I'd like to live in the present, and for a bit longer than she did.

DAY 27 - Someone I find attractive:

Because I feel that it might be somewhat inappropriate and possibly embarassing to post a picture of someone I find attractive in real life in a blog post, I'll focus on my celebrity crush instead.  

I find Henry Cavill (Charles Brandon on "The Tudors") to be astoundingly handsome. Apparently I am not the only one, because he's been cast as the latest Superman. And I have a feeling that, in the incredibly unlikely event that he ever even sees this post, he probably wouldn't be offended or even surprised that someone might admire his British charm. So this choice is both safe and honest.

Honorable Mentions: Paul Walker, Colin Farrell, Colin Firth, and Shemar Moore. I think it's the British accent that helped Henry beat Shemar, who almost took the win based only on his ability to kick down doors and arrest serial killers as an FBI agent on "Criminal Minds."

DAY 25 - Something that means a lot to me:


It took a long time (13 years of public school, 6 years of pharmacy school, and 23 years of my life) to become a pharmacist. So I'm pretty proud of being part of America's most trusted profession. And as much as I complain, I actually love my job...mostly.

Things I love: John Philip Sousa, summer weather, hot dogs, patriotic hymns, the colors red, white, and blue, and loud, bright, sparkly things. Oh, and my country. I'm pretty happy about being born in the United States.

DAY 17 - A picture from my last vacation:
The last "real" vacation I went on was a fun road trip along I-80, eventually ending in Boulder, CO. It was a spectacular trip the entire way, and Boulder was awesome too! Sadly, most of my pictures from the trip are lost, because my computer died shortly after I uploaded the pictures from my camera. So I scanned in a postcard instead. Not exactly the same, but it gets the job done.

DAY 15 - What I wanted to be when I grew up, when I was still little:

I've always been conflicted about what I wanted to be when I grew up. At the age of six, I wanted to be either 1) Lady LovelyLocks, who is the ruler and protector of the Kingdom of LovelyLocks (where everyone has long and beautiful hair) and takes care of everyone and everything, or 2) Rainbow Brite, who lives in Rainbow Land and uses the colors of the rainbow to make our world brighter and our hearts lighter.

I still haven't decided. Lady LovelyLocks wears a pretty pink dress, has possibly the best hair ever, and has a forest full of Pixietails to do her bidding. Her archenemy is the beautiful but cruel Duchess RavenWaves. Rainbow Brite seems a little spunkier, is friends with all the Color Kids (I think she might actually be dating Red Butler, who is wicked cool), and has Sprites who mine her Star Sprinkles. She has to fight Murky Dismal and Lurky, two villains who live in the Pits of Rainbow Land.

Considering I am going to be 30 this year, I feel that it is time for me to make a decision. I'm going to go with Rainbow Brite. Really, her life goals of making the world brighter and our hearts lighter is much more ambitious than Lady LovelyLocks'. I mean, protecting the Kingdom of LovelyLocks is great and all, but does anyone really even know where that is? And as far as fighting evil goes, Rainbow has it pretty easy with Murky and Lurky. Duchess RavenWaves looks like she could cut a bitch. 

 

Wow, I can't believe I've struggled with this decision for so long when it all seems so clear now. Rainbow Brite is the obvious choice for so many reasons. But mainly because I still really want a Star Sprinkles tattoo, but I've never wanted a Pixietail permanently inked anywhere on my person.

DAY 14 - Something I'm afraid of:


Go ahead and laugh, but I can't think of anything scarier than the Borg on Star Trek. Basically super-powered zombie aliens, they have given me nightmares since I was little. And I am not ashamed to admit it.

DAY 12 - Something I hate:

Hating winter is kind of a recent development for me. I used to love the beauty of the snow and the cold didn't bother me. Now all I can see is the hassle of getting to and from work, worrying about the state of my driveway, and then the flooding that happens when three feet of snow melt in less than 24 hours and then you get two more feet of snow the very next day. My hatred started after I became a pharmacist (a job that unfortunately requires my attendance despite roads being closed due to inclement weather) but this past winter has kind of pushed me over the edge, since the region I live in has received 184 inches of snow since December 1. That's right, we have received 184 inches of snow in the past 102 days. I am not including the two inches that suprised me when I opened the door this morning, as they are not "official" yet. All I can say is Hawaii, here I come!

DAY 11: My favorite place:


So far, my favorite place in the world is my family's camp on Owasco Lake...but there are so many places that I haven't been yet, that it's hard to say if it will always be my favorite place. I'd say it's definitely a contender, though.
