I've been totally sucked in by this season's Bachelor. I don't usually dig this show that much. I don't like the idea of playing with people's emotions, ya know? That's just a hurt that can't heal. But, it must've been the hometown connection that drew me in. Oh, and Travis....he's not so bad looking himself!
I didn't like Moana throughout the show. Almost everything she said to Travis sounded like something from a Hallmark card. Creative editing? Maybe. But I felt HORRIBLE for her when she got dumped on! I really think she thought she had her man. Poor girl! I wonder how she's coping?
Sarah seems like your typical southern girl. Kinda reminds me of myself. Whatcha see is whatcha get. I'm sure she has the "depth" that Travis needs in a relationship, and I wish them well. I can't wait to hear some updates on Nashville's new First Couple! Move over Keith and Nicole!

My NEWEST guilty pleasure....
Yep, my Ipod Nano. Who knew that a little piece of technology the size of a credit card could be so great. I never knew that I needed one until Chris got it for my birthday. This little gizmo has been the biggest treat that I've gotten in awhile. I've always loved my music and usually burn more CD's than I can keep up with. The Nano has been the solution to all of my problems! I never leave home without it. The accessories that come with it....OH MY!!!
I'll have to say that I'm pretty ecclectic when it comes to my music taste. My playlist has a pretty broad selection. Since I take it to the YMCA with me religiously, I have alot of booty shakin' music on there (of course). But some of my faves are:
Sheryl Crow: Perfect Lie
James Blount: Goodbye My Lover
Purple Ribbon All-Stars: Kryptonite (I'm on it)
Anna Nalick: Breathe (2 am)

Random Challenge for Monday
List 5 or more false impressions you give people when you first meet them. Things they assume of you but is completely wrong.
WOW! This is tough. I never really know what people think about me.
1) That I'm stuck-up. I'm really just quiet around strangers.
2) That I'm a good girl. Totally not (all the time).
3) That I have OCD. I just like things a certain way.
4) That I'm mean!
5) That I'm younger than 27.

A little celeb gossip today :)
WHAT WAS BRITNEY THINKING????
What exactly goes through Britney Spears mind when she does this stuff? OK, even if you or I have done it on a quick trip to the end of the block or whatever. We know its wrong and illegal. If you are Britney Spears and KNOW paparazzi follows you EVERYWHERE why would you do something so irresponsible? WHAT if the paparazzi caused a wreck and YOU KNOW her car has an airbag and it goes off? This picture reminds me a LOT of the one with Catherine Zeta Jones smoking while pregnant. BE AN EXAMPLE GIRL!

A few challenges today!
Not alot's been going on with the Dickens family lately. We were total vegetables Saturday. It was super cold and snowing, so we enjoyed some time indoors! I've got some challenges for today...I'm acutally going to try to do them all. Maybe it will help you all understand me a little better ;}
There's 3 today.
#1 Alright. Name from number 1-10 (or how ever many you want) and how those number are significant in your life.
1. The number of years we've lived in our new house
2. The age of my precious son
3. The number of scrapbook classes I have this month
4. I can't think of anything as the number 4, but 4 o'clock is the time my hubby gets off work, the time the nursery opens at the Y so I get to work out, and the time Oprah comes on!
5. The number of tv's blaring the superbowl at my house last night!
#2 The men are out of the house with the kids (can you imagine) for the night into the morning. You and five of your best friends are getting together to scrap, eat, and gab. What ***five*** chick flicks would you have ready to watch while you are scrapping????
OH! I {heart} chick flicks!
1. The Notebook
2. In Her Shoes
3. You've Got Mail
4. Fried Green Tomatoes
5. The Wedding Date
#3 What size do you primarily scrapbook and why?
I primarily scrap 12x12 because I teach alot of layout classes at my LSS. I'm afraid if I switched sizes, I would have such a hard time going back to the big canvas for class. One day, I would love to try 8 1/2 x 11 landscape. I'm usually a 1 or 2 photo per page person and I think that would look nice!
