100 Day Picture Challenge: Day 13

Day 13:  
 A picture of your favorite band or artist

My favorite band or group at the moment is “The Script.” A year and a half of ago I had no idea who they were. It wasn’t until a family friend brought them up during a conversation at my house that I first found out about them. She suggested a couple of their songs and after looking them up on Youtube I was hooked. From what I have read they are fairly new and only have two albums out at the moment. I just love their music. It’s so different from the typical mainstream music that plays on the radio all day. I get tired of all that. Sometimes i just want to listen to a genuinely good song! My favorite songs they sing are called “Break Even”,”For The First Time”, and “The Man That Can’t Be Moved.”

Day 12:  
 A picture of something I love

There are so many things I love and I really could not think of what to choose for today’s photo challenge. I decided to go with nail polish because what girl doesn’t love having their nails a pretty color? I found a photo specifically of Zoya polish because it’s been my favorite and one of the only brands i’ve been using the past few years. Zoya offers tons of different colors, collections, and promotions that other brands don’t. Their polish stays on for days, even weeks! I love having my nails painted and new nail polish is something I am always on the look out for. It definitely qualifies as something i love!

Day 11:  
 A picture of something I hate

Hate is a very strong word so I will just use strongly “dislike” for today’s photo. I’ve never been a fan of fish and it’s one of those things that just makes me gag. When people find out that I don’t eat it they tell me I’m crazy. I know it’s one of the healthiest things you can eat but I’m just not into eating creatures from the sea. The only thing you will ever see me eating that inhabited the water world is a stone crab. I admit, I do love stone crab legs with yummy butter! I’ve given fish a chance before. The best memory I have of it was eating my first piece of sushi and immediately wanting to puke my brains out. As soon as i started chewing, the fishy scent engulfed my smelly sensors and it was all down hill from there. Sorry fishies you are just not for me.

Day 10:  
 A picture of someone you do the craziest things with

The person I have done the craziest things and STILL do them to this day is my best friend Nicole! Only a best friend would give a piggy back ride at the Hardrock resulting in a scraped knee. She still reminds me about that injury to this day. Right after this photo and a few more successful piggy back riding attempts, we fell flat on our butts. There must have been a ton of people around us but we didn’t care. Within the 23 years of our friendship I think we have enough crazy, strange, and embarrassing memories to last us a long time. Best part is we have many years to add more to the list!

Day 9:  
 A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most
The person who has gotten me through the most is my mom. After looking through the 100 Day Challenge criteria I think i’m going to be posting her a lot! My mom has supported me all of my life. She has stood by my side through the ups, downs, good times, and horrible times. Even when I have been at the bottom she is the only person that could pick me up. I thought it was also fitting to have Toodie in this photo because she has also had a huge impact on my life. Even though she has only been on the Earth for three years … those three years have been the best of my life. All i need to see is her smile and feel her warm hugs for everything to be okay.

Day 8:  
 A picture of your most treasured item

 It might be strange but my most treasured item is my blanket that I have had since I was a baby. This blanket was given to my mom at her baby shower before I was even born. It was handmade by a family friend and has always been special to me. Although I don’t sleep with it, I have passed it on to Toodie who brings it everywhere we go. Instead of being my baby blanket it is now hers. She must have a dozen blankets but chooses this one because it is mommys. It makes me happy that she appreciates something that is so special to me.

Day 7:  
 A picture that makes you laugh
This picture ALWAYS makes me laugh when I see it. It was the night that my friends and I went to dinner to celebrate my 25th birthday. Afterwards we were trying to take pictures outside but could not keep a straight face. I blame it all on the guys. I went to upload the pictures a few days later and found this. While my two friends and I are trying to take a nice picture (laughing of course) my friend Nick is in the background being a creeper!

Day 6:  
 A picture of  a person you’d love to trade places with for a day

 If I had to choose someone to trade places with for a day I would pick Tabatha from Tabatha’s Salon Takeover. She’s independent, confident, and great at what she does. I would enjoy stepping in her shoes for a day to experience what it’s like to be a successful stylist. I also think it would be fun to visit all of the dysfunctional salons and whip them into shape!

Day 5:  
 A picture of  your favorite memory

 One of my favorite memories was the day I brought my Toodie girl home from the hospital. I couldn’t wait to hold her and wake up everyday with her there. This was a moment I will never forget. I was excited to begin my journey as a mommy.

Day 4:  
 A picture of  yourself and a family member

This is a photo of myself and my Uncle Mike when I was two years old.  
 He passed away suddenly of natural causes last September and this photo brings me a lot of comfort. There isn’t one day that goes by that I don’t think of him. He wasn’t only my uncle but also my friend. I miss our conversations, laughs, and hanging out in my room during our family get togethers. I couldn’t think of anyone better to share my Day 4 photo with. This only reminds me of how important it is to cherish your family and the time you have with them. Tomorrow is guaranteed to none of us.  I miss you Mike and love you! Until we meet again.
