Day Twelve: What's In My Bag

This is an interesting entry because I just recently got home from a long trip away, which means my bag is full of all sorts of last minute "toss in my bag items".
I unloaded my large brown leather Gucci (my favorite "fall back" bag, and I found...
Chanel sunglasses in the case, calendar, trident white gum, my new camera (which of course is not in the photo since I used it to take the picture), wallet, 3 pens (all blue, of course), change purse, I Pod charger, a paper with places I wanted to check out while I was in NY, heart shaped mirror, chapstick, MAC "Hot Gossip" lipstick, Vicky's Beauty Rush "I Want Candy" Lip Gloss, Aerie colored lip gloss, pomegranate hand cream, hand sanitizer, and
receipts from the following:
Costco (new camera), Eataly (phenomenal dinner with Casey), Target (candy before heading into the movies (ps- go see "The Town", it was so good), eretz (my new boots), metropark (2 new shirts for going out), quick check (gas).

Day Eleven – My Siblings

I am the youngest of three children.  My two older brothers are Bill and Mike.  They have always been there for me when I need them and I love them dearly.

The oldest of the crew is Bill.  He lives with his wife Sarah and daughter Abby in their new home in Indiana.  He works in sports communication and coaches a few teams on the side.  Sports are his passion, he has always loved all sports but college football is his favorite.  Over the years he played several different sports including wrestling, football and, lacrosse.

Mike is the middle child and lives in Pennsylvania with his wife Stacey and his kids Owen and Ben.  He also works in communication (he is great at dealing with people).  He is an amazing cook and still makes time to go out and have fun with his friends.  I'm always amazed at all the different things he does, and how well he does all of them.  Mike and I have always been really close and we share similar views (I often say that he is the male version of me, and that I am the female version of him).

Day Nine: Beliefs & (Let's Pretend It's Day Ten): What I Wore Today

What I Wore Today

So, when I was blogging yesterday I thought that "What I Wore Today" was today's entry not tomorrow's, but since I picked out a special outfit just for the entry I'm doing double "30 Days of Me" entries.

Beliefs:
My biggest belief is to live life to the fullest and to be true to yourself.
Personally, I don't belief in organized religion.  I come from a strong catholic family, but although I don't have any problems with the bible itself, I disagree with many of the catholic church views (abortion, same sex marriage, divorce, and so on).

What I Wore Today:
As you can see from my outfit, fall is my favorite season.
I wore my not too dark and not too light jeans,
with a ribbed gray tank, with an ivory sweater jacket,
and scrunchy brown boots.
Then I topped off the outfit with a silver & wood beaded necklace, and some bangles.

YAY for fall fashion!

Day Eight: A Moment

Moments are the little things that create your life. 
The sad thing about moments is that they pass quickly, but the great thing is that you remember them forever.

There are romantic moments:  Like the first time you kiss someone, and you know they are going to be someone special.

There are the drunk moments:  Like when you repeat the same phase a million times while lying on your friend's floor.

There are funny moments:  Like when you are at work and all of a sudden one of your co-workers runs in and hits you with a snowball.

There are friend moments:  Like when you are sick and your friends take care of you.

There are scary moments:  Like when you get pulled over by the cops.

and much, MUCH, more.... good or bad, moments are the things that make your life!

Day Seven: Best Friends

I have been so lucky in my life to be surrounded by amazing people.

When I was in high school I met a great group of friends, and I never realized it at the time, but it turns out they are some of the greatest friends I will ever have in my life.
I met Dani when I first moved to NJ and we shared a bus and a math class. 
I remember getting to know Nikki via a notebook worth of notes in study hall.
Ashley and I were both in the high school color guard.
Megan and I also shared some very memorable study hall moments.
Katie was also on the same bus route as myself and Dani.

When I went to college I continued to meet lots of new friends.  One in particular, I knew would be a friend for life.
I met Casey when we sat next to each other in color theory class, and we became friends right away.  We went on to live together for several years and continue  to be close friends.

Day Six: Your Day (Yesterday)

Yesterday's "30 Days of Me" was to tell you about my day, so I thought I should write it at the end of the day, but I did was most people do at the end of the day, I fell asleep.  So, here is my yesterday...

My DVD viewing yesterday including finishing up season four of Grey's Anatomy, and the beginning of season five.  Then once the evening hit, the great night of tv hit as well, but wait... my cable didn't seem to be working.  Instead of sitting on hold on the phone, I chatted online with a service rep who was a lot of help, it was so much faster and easier then trying to call and get customer service on the phone.  The good thing was I got it fixed before all my shows came on.
The VMA's were a huge disappointment this year.  I think MTV needs to stop trying to have the VMA's in LA.  They try to do it in LA every few years, and every time it is in LA the show stinks.
The season finale of Entourage was the big hit of the night.  I can't wait to find out what's going to happen next season!
