Day 3----Favorite TV Shows!

Alright, so once I post this it is definitely going to look like I have no life outside of Target! Even though I love so many shows, it doesn't mean I watch ALL of them religiously. I catch random episodes and then read summaries online to get caught up! =)

I had always heard of this show but I had never had an interest in it until Season 5. That was because some friends invited me up to the dorms one Thursday to watch it in the lounge. Boy, was that a mistake..I'm officially addicted! I think a big reason I didn't think I would like it because I grew up with my Mom always watching ER (back when it starred Mr. Clooney!) and I thought it was pretty boring! I have since watched pretty much watched all the seasons and if I haven't watched them I've at least read through the episodes. (Told ya I have no life!) Any other Grey's fans out there?

 Once again, thanks to my wonderful friends at NSU for getting me hooked!

Nothing beats a feel good comedy with hilarious one-liners!

I would recommend this show for all teenagers and adults! It's definitely NOT a chick-flick kind of show. Everyone can relate to a character, and NO you don't have to be overweight to understand! =)

I'm one of the people who Keep Up with the Kardashians! It is definitely one of those trashy reality shows..but you just can't help getting sucked into it when flipping the channels! I can't even explain why I watch it..Maybe they just intrigue me? lol

Last but not least....Parenthood! Just like Huge..Everyone can gain something from it and it proves that there are dysfunctional families out there besides your own! =)

Day 2---Favorite Movies!

Just like music, I love way toooooo many different movies! I won't include the ones I mentioned in yesterday's post.

30 Day Blogging! Day 1-----Favorite Song (s)

So I am about 7 days late but I figured why not, I'm going to do it anyway! This will give me the perfect excuse to keep up with blogging, and ya never know..I might just throw in some of my recent adventures and thoughts like I normally should! =)

The host of this great idea is Emily! So here it goes.......
I love all genre's of music...especially Country and Oldies from 1950-1990! (It is kinda of sad that the 90's are classified as "Oldies" =/  I'm going to try and list only 5!

Stand By Me - Originally by B.B. King but I love the Mickey Gilley version out of one of my favorite movies..Urban Cowboy!

Me & Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin
I've always loved Janis Joplin ever since I was little..I once dressed up as her for halloween when I was about 10..probably a little inappropriate but my Momma couldn't change my mind! I wish I could find a picture of me!


Cross My Heart -George Strait
It was so hard to choose just one George song, but this one is probably the best..plus its out of another one of my favorite movies..Pure Country! (At this rate when "Favorite Movie" day comes around, I wont have any left to share!)

Hit Me With Your Best Shot -Pat Benetar
In my opinion, I think this is just one of those songs you will always rock out to! The guitar solo is not too bad either! =)

Six-Pack Summer -Phil Vassar
I just think this is one of those feel good songs of summer!


Hope you enjoy the tunes! Maybe you even found a new song or artist! =)

My 1st Project!

My friend Jessica is always commenting on how much she loves my plain jane bulletin board hanging in my kitchen. Its nothing fancy, it has no theme or cute decorations. It does however have mementos, concert tickets, movie stubs, wedding and shower invitations, and a few random hanging knick-knacks. Crap---I just realized since I'm talking about this I should have taken a picture of MY board! I've lost my camera cord at the moment so maybe soon I will upload it! Anyways so a few months ago..think like APRIL, I had the idea of making Jessica one as a wedding/bachelorette gift. Well...I really didn't think it all through and I realized that I need to wait on making it because I would love to add bachelorette party, wedding, and any other random pictures we would take up to then. That being said, she didn't receive it on May 15th her wedding day, but more like a week after her June 12th birthday! =)

I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. Her favorite colors/prints are pink, black, zebra and polka dot with a dash of glam and Marilyn Monroe! I had built it all up in my mind, that by the time I actually got started on it, I was so stressed out! I AM NOT an artsy kind of person. I'm not that creative. I actually broke down crying because I couldn't get the damn hot glue gun to work!! Not a proud Bailey moment, trust me.

 For some reason, I can't get it to turn around. It's saved on my computer the right way so who knows, you get the idea of it!

Start of a 3 Month Recap?

:::EDIT::: Obviously I do not blog enough because I can't get all of my pictures to load and align correctly so I can continue typing under the pictures. That being said, I will continue with more posts.. It's just going be broke up over numerous posts instead of one big gigantic one!

I'm watching the CMAs so I thought why not blog during commercials.

On that note, since so so so much has happened in the last 3 months..why not do good ol' fashion bullets, with pictures of course! =)

• On March 29th, I was in a car accident and totaled the truck. I was fine except for a slight bruise on the forehead, and severe whiplash. I pretty much had a blowout on the highway going 65-70, plus I had the cruise control set. It could have been A LOT worse but according to the EMTs and police officer I was very lucky to be alive. The highway is a 4 laner and I happened to be in the middle lane eastbound; so when I tried to brake the truck of course jerked back and forth so I went off onto the shoulder, went back on the road but since I was going so fast I swerved all the way back to the left and hit the median on the driver side..THEN..I with the impact of that I swerved back over to the outside lane and spun in front of a FREAKING SEMI..and with that I ended up slamming against the median AGAIN and finally coming to a stop facing westbound! I was more shaken up than anything because I just remember a slight glimpse of the front of that semi truck. I was on the phone when it happened (YES, I know I shouldn't have been!) with my Grandma so she heard me say OMG! and the phone just went dead. So when the ambulance showed up I immediately told them and asked them to call her in Fort Smith and tell her I was alright. I am still grateful that the nice EMT lady called long distance for me and talked to my Grandma and calmed her down..by the way her and my Grandpa had already phoned the Tulsa Police because I didn't call right back. To make a long story short..the insurance company totaled it out yet it was still driveable so we went ahead and bought a used bed for it because even though the tire that caused the wreck was the back driver side tire..all the damage was on the passenger side of the bed because that's how I finally landed. So we finally have the truck back and I have started driving on highways again just not that particular one because I can still see the black marks on the median wall! So with all of that said, I am very thankful to have God watching over me that day, I could have died right there during noon traffic but God made sure that no other cars were involved. The truck honestly doesn't look that bad in the pictures.

Eli decided he wanted a cat. We have Gracie, but he felt that Gracie was more my dog because she always likes to cuddle and follow me around the apartment, but she's a Mama's girl what can I say? ;-) Just for the record, I'm scared of cats. I'm not sure why but they have always scared especially when they open their mouth. Well unfortunately I agreed he could have a cat because he was raised with plenty of them growing up and he promised to find a litterbox trained one. Well..he found a Seal-Point Siamese that was about a year old named Whisk. Luckily her and Gracie got along and played well, and they even took naps together which made me happy. The downfall was that she was a total attention whore and would do act up just because we weren't paying attention to her because we were getting dressed or cooking, just everything. Also, she would end up meowing and crying ALL night long so we had to get rid of her. I think she even started annoying Gracie those last few days together. Eli agreed we needed to find a new home for because he soon realized he was not a cat person anymore and Gracie was just enough for us. It just so happened, that ever since Whisk left, she has loved her Daddy even more! =)

Future Baby Names

I hardly ever participate in Show Us Your Life hosted by Kelly, but this week I just couldn't resist! I've been obsessed with baby names since I was little and used to play school. I know it probably sounds weird, but hopefully I'm not the only one! =) I think I'm also a big fan of unique names because my name wasn't so popular back in the day!

I love so many names, but of course Eli will only agree on one or two. I suggested my absolutely favorite boys name to him, and after much thought he finally agreed he liked it too!! *DRUM ROLL PLEASE*

Wyatt Walker

Girl names on the other hand are more challenging. There are just too many beautiful names! There is...

Kennedy 

Which I was supposed to be named but my dad wasnt a big fan, also..from the looks of other blogs Kennedy is a big hit at the moment.

Mackenzie Mae 

Eli's middle name is Mackenzie, and my grandmother's middle name is Mae; We both agree on this name!

Tenley or Menley 

They just seem so pretty and southern to me.

Carolina

Icy 

My great-grandmother's name was Icy Gertrude; Eli really likes that name and as much as I loved my great-grandmother..I still can't completely warm up to it

Georgia 

Emmalise 

I've always loved the names Emma & Elise, so I figured why not combine them? I've met a few Annalises and it works for them!

Emerson 

Maybe call her her Emmy!

Rae 

As a middle name only, they seem to work with all the names I like.

I think that about covers most of them! Hope you enjoy =)
