Day 11-Favorite tv shows

I cannot write a post without including some of my favorite TV shows from the past..........

I miss Friends! I remember watching the finale with several sorority sisters in my old apartment. I always wanted Ross and Rachel to end up together!

You got it dude!!! Oh how sweet the twins used to be!

I never missed an episode of Saved by the Bell. I also taped them on many different occasions back in the day when it was VHS and I would have to stop the tape during the commercials and then start recording again. If only I had DVR back then...........

Now, I don't really watch that much TV. My weekly shows consist of Modern Family, Cougar Town, and Desperate Housewives. When the Bachelor(ette) is on, I can sometimes get hooked to that mindless drama. I recently watched a Housewives series for the first time- Beverly Hills. Gosh they have a lot of money! They also have TOO MUCH drama that I would rather live without!

Grey's Anatomy is a show I used to watch. I have watched it on and off recently. It has gotten a little boring.

None of these shows are life altering. There are purely for entertainment purposes and I could definitely find something better to be doing with my time. Any shows I am missing out on???

Day 7-Favorite movies

Here are some movies that I have enjoyed. It was hard to think of my "favorite" movies. The only one that immediately came to my mind was My Father the Hero because I LOVED that movie when I was younger. Most people had never heard of it, but I had it on VHS and DVD. I think I still have both copies to this day!

Career Path

I took a career test and these were my results:

I highlighted the ones that I may possible be interested in..................

career counselor

educational consultant
special education teacher
librarian
artist
playwright
novelist/poet

What should I be "when I grow up"?????????????? What I think my dream job would be is some type of event planner, a decorator, or working with kids in a smaller setting. Many times in the classroom, it seems like you are babysitting and dealing with crowd control than actually teaching. I can't even begin to explain how sick of testing I am. Every time I turn around, we are giving another test and then having to have an hour long meeting to discuss the data! It's ALL ABOUT THE DATA!!!

Dream Kitchen

I have recently become OBSESSED with white kitchens- white cabinets, white subway tiles, white EVERYTHING! I love this kitchen!! I cannot wait until I have my own house and can decorate however I want. I will have to learn a lot more about DIY'ing before then!

I got the following images off of southern living, hgtv, and decor pad.

Love the natural light in the kitchen...

Absolutely LOVE the butler's pantry......

I really like this one with the blue walls and the natural light coming in. I like the contrast with the brown countertop on the island.

Day 25- songs

Continuing the 30 day challenge.........

I have decided to go a little bit out of order. There are two reasons for this major life decision. One is that I'm writing this post on my iPhone and this was an easy post to do that since my iPod is also on my phone. The second reason is that I cannot find my charger to my camera and I need several pictures from that camera for many other posts. So here you will find the first 15 songs from my iPod when I pressed shuffle. Please keep in mind that I started downloading these songs about 8 years ago and have yet to delete a song. Many of these songs bring back a college or high school memory for me!

1. Quit playing games with my heart - Backstreet boys
2. Chain hang low - Jibbs (I guess that's the artist)
3. Bryan Adams- Lets make a night to remember
4. Ja Rule- Put it on Me
5. 5 o'clock somewhere by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffet
6. Hootie and the blowfish- I only wanna be with you
7. Shania Twain- man I feel like a woman
8. Outkast- the way you move
9. Carrie Underwood- Jesus take the wheel
10. Unk - 2 step
11. Deana Carter- How do I get there
12. Soulja boy- swing
13. Juvenile- back that thang up
14. 98 degrees- give me just one night
15. Johnny Cash- ring of fire

Day 1 of 30 day challenge

15 facts and a recent picture............

Picture is about a year old.........

Hello blog world. I am finally coming back to you, hopefully to stay. Let me reintroduce myself! My name is Megan. I lived in Louisiana for the first 22 years of my life and I am now a Houstonian. If that's not a word, it is now! I live close to the Galleria, which most girls would think is the best thing in the world. I find it a nightmare! Not really, but traffic on 610 and Westheimer is AWFUL! But in all honestly, I go to the galleria ONLY when friends are in town because they want to go there. Otherwise, I stay away! I would tell you more about my family, pets, life, etc but then would would be the point in the rest of the days given that there is a specific day for family and pets!

Interesting facts:

1. You can find facts that I have already written about in this post here. But that post is rather old so I will continue with the next 14 facts.

2. I teach 5th grade Science and Social Studies THIS YEAR. It changes from year to year. I have taught kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 4rth grade, and 5th grade. I am thinking I need to teach Pre-K and 3rd grade in the near future so that I have covered all of the elementary grades. So far I have stuck with 5th the longest for three years.

3. I am not a huge fan of Science. Don't tell my students. I would much rather be teaching Language Arts or Math. A reason for this may be the pressure of the 5th grade Science TAKS test.

4. I love children and can't wait to have my own someday. I used to want 6, but over the years that number has gotten a little smaller. I have just always wanted a big family. It seems so much more fun, especially on holidays.

5. I love decorating. I wish I was creative enough to be on HGTV! My dream job may be an interior decorator! I love watching them stage the homes to sell them. When I get my own house one day, I can't wait to decorate every room. I love to decorate for every holiday and always have my dining room table set up so pretty! This year for Thanksgiving, I didn't make it home. I had a few friends over and my table was set so pretty. You would have thought lots of people were coming over. I had menus made and everything. It was so fun!

6. I love to travel. I really want to go to Europe some day. More about traveling later I guess since there is a day devoted to it!

7. In high school, I was in a group called Rangers. We would go on hiking/camping trips once a month. For spring break, we would do a 10 day camping trips. Most people that would meet me today would never believe I survived in the woods for 10 days. I miss those camping trips. I don't miss hiking 10 miles UP a mountain. Hopefully I will get to go camping again soon.

8. I am already counting down to college football again. I think my tigers are gonna get the crystal this year!

9. I am very shy when you first meet me. I do not like to be the center of attention in social settings. Once you get to know me, I am not so shy. I am working on this!

10. I purchased a nice camera last year and I am trying to learn how to use it. Photography is not an easy task. It takes creativity and lots and lots of practice to learn how to use the camera. There are so many buttons on that camera that I do not have the slightest idea of what they do. I highly recommend Scott Kelby's books on photography.

11. I have recently discovered a new favorite drink- apparently called a Kir Royale. Some champagne with a little bit of Chambord. Apparently a "real" Kir Royale has something else in it, but Chambord is fine with me.

12. I have had the same best friend since kindergarten.

13. The only time I ever snuck out of my house in high school was with that best friend. We snuck out of my upstairs bedroom, climbed out the window and scurried down the scaffolding (is that what it's called). We then pushed her car down the street and went to Eckerds to get HAIR DYE! We were back home in less than 10 minutes with a plan of making her hair red. Several days later, we learned we had been caught by 2 different neighbors. Who sits outside at midnight to eat cereal???

14. I don't know if I will live in Houston forever. I am thinking it's temporary. I am trying to decide where my next move will be to. Any ideas???????

15. I am aware that none of these are really "interesting" facts.

This picture is not the best, but it's all I have at this moment. Maybe I will change it later. It's my "school picture". It is also a picture of a picture taken on my i-phone.
