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!

Day Five: Definition of loveDay
Am I the only person who has never ever heard of loveDay?
What in the heck is "30 Days of Me" trying to ask me?
Do they mean Valentine's Day?
Because Valentine's Day is February 14th. It is a day in which single people go to work, and tend to work overtime while non-single people make last minute attempts to be romantic. Personally, I send cards out to my friends, I try to do so for lots of the holidays.

Day Four: What I Ate Today
Since it's about midnight, here's what I ate today. This is an interesting "30 Days of Me" post because due to the recovery of my surgery I've been eating differently and trying to slowly introduce new foods into my diet.
- 1 bowl of Reese's Puffs cereal with vanilla soy milk
- 1 Red Baron Singles cheese pizza
- turkey, roast beef, and swiss sandwich
- chips & salsa
...the salsa did not sit well with my new tummy, note to self, I'm not ready for salsa
- 3 sugar cookies
- cheesestick
- cup of three cheese hamburger helper
So today I learned that I still have to keep it soft when it to food, AKA: I'm not ready for veggies yet, not even soft veggies in salsa.

Day Three/Four: My Parents
*For some crazy reason my blogger account didn't like me yesterday, and wouldn't let me sign in, so here is yesterday's "30 days of me" post, "My parents"...
My parents are Bill & Carol, they started dating when my dad was in college, and first met when they were in the same third grade class. (That's right third grade, and I'm 25 and single). They had a simple summer wedding (really simple, the reception was at the knights of columbus).
My mother, Carol was an excellent stay at home mom, she was (and still is) always there for us when we need her. She did have a few different part time jobs over the years, and when she was young she had jobs at a dress factory and as a telephone operator. One of my mom's greatest talents that she passed onto me, is her baking and cooking ability. She has an amazing story, growing up as a coal miner's daughter and ending up being a homemaker, of a very beautiful home.
My father, Bill works as an attorney, and has always worked really hard to provide for his family. We always say that Thomas' are some of the hardest working people you'll ever meet. His job included lots of traveling both domestically and internationally (including London, Sweden, India, and China). Without question, my dad's favorite hobby is reading. He always says that he hopes is eyesight is always good enough to read (oddly enough, all three of his children HATE to read). His favorite books are books about the Civil War, Gettysburg in particular.
Now that my parents are empty nesters, they love traveling during their free time. They have done road trips all over the US, and love going on cruises. But without question their favorite "getting old" thing is being grandparents! If they have so much as one day with no plans, they will be doing something with their grandkids.

Day Two: First Love
 |
| The ultimate single lady, Carrie Bradshaw |
I'm pretty much known by every group one of my groups of friends as "the single girl". Lots of people tell me that I'm not in relationships often because I'm too picky. But, I think people should be picky about who they get into a relationship with because you spend a lot of time with that person, and how are you suppose to develop feelings for someone that you are settling for?
With that all being said, the longest and most serious relationship I ever had was with my ex, Mike (I have a thing for guys named Mike, I've gone out with quite a few of them). We went out for a year, and although we did fall in love, I fell out of love, and broke up with him. Although I often get frustrated with being single, and question if it was the right move, I always know that it was. He was a nice guy, and we were great together, but in the end we just weren't right for each other.
I've met quite a few men over my years, but as I mentioned it takes something really special to catch my eye. One of the things I like best about being single is that singles get to go out on way more first dates then committed couples do (the reasons are clear). Even though most of the dates end up being lack luster, there is nothing better then that excited feeling during the day leading up to the date, your mind a flutter with questions... Is he going to be the one? Is he going to be cute? Are we going to go out again after this?
And the dates that don't go so well, at least they lead to great stories that my friends always love hearing about!

Day One: Intro
I am currently 25 years old and live in my favorite city, Boston. I graduated from Mount Ida College in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science in interior design. While I was in school I started working retail, and found that it came really natural to me. I am still working in retail now, currently as a manager for Lucky Brand Jeans.
I moved to the Boston area for school (Mount Ida is in Newton, MA) from a small town in New Jersey called Sparta. I lived in Sparta for 5 years, and my parents still live there. I spent the majority of my childhood years in upstate New York.
I am the youngest of 3 children, and the only girl (yes, I'm a princess). My two older brothers are Bill (his wife is Sara), and Mike (his wife is Stacey). Bill lives in the midwest, and Mike lives in Pennsylvania. The majority of my family lives in Pennsylvania, my family lived there when I was really young.
I think that covers the basics about me, but there is more to come over the next 30 days!
