Sunday Social: Let's Get Literary

This week I'm linking up with Neely for Sunday Social!

This Weeks Questions: Let's get literary!

1. Favorite childhood book

Anything Dr. Seuss! I must have owned the entire collection back in the day!

2 . Favorite Book lately
Do blogs count? Funny thing is I usually have a favorite book or at least one I'm reading, but right now I don't.

3. Book you wish you could live in
YES! Any Nicholas Sparks book that doesn't involve the main character dying. I love his romance novels. The Choice or The Rescue would be wonderful, or even Safe Haven! -sigh- I need a romance like that! Twilight would be nice, too! Omg, vampire and ware wolf BF's!

4. If you could be any character from a book who would it be and why?
Allie from the Notebook! (before alzheimers came into place)

I know this picture is from the movie, but I just love her style & class. She's the perfect girl!

5. Favorite Book turned Movie?

The Notebook! I must sound like a huge Nicholas Sparks fan. The movie was put together so beautifully. I actually saw it before I read the book and I think I ended up liking the movie better.

6. Favorite Magazines?

(yes, that's Seventeen in the middle! Don't judge. haha!)

Friday Letters

Dear Obsessive Text Message Creeps,
If I haven't texted back after the fifth message, than please stop!

Dear Cell Phone,
I can't believe you just vibrated 3 times while I wrote the last letter. I wonder who -sigh-

Dear Readers,
There's almost 500 of you. Thanks for following <3

Dear Yankees,
WIN!!

Dear Nikki,
I received your giveaway package today and I love it!! So cute, thank you!!

Dear Beach,
I love you, I really do, but I think I'm getting tired of leaving you looking like a sandy sticky beach monster. I think I may need to take a break from you.

Dear Alcoholic Beverages,
We have not agreed the last couple times we've hung out. I think I may need a break from you as well.

Dear Halloween,
You're getting closer and closer and I'm getting happier and happier <3

Sunday Social

For this Week's ''Sunday Social'' we're sharing our favorite things about Fall. My list doesn't even cover half my favorite things, but I thought I would keep my list short and sweet. I apologize for not being on top of things with my blog posts. I know link-ups are taking over my page. I'm so thankful none of you have abandoned me yet. I'm also thankful for the few more readers who have joined my story. Thanks guys! Once I have 500 readers my plan is to start making vlogs. I hope their perfect and go over well. I want to be the next Jenna Marbles, but not! A girl can hope, can't she? But anyway, I hope you all have a fabulous Sunday!

Fashion

Food

Movies

Crafts

I love doing all sorts of crafts during the Fall, but I wanted to share this real fast for Sunday Funday. This is literally the easiest thing you will ever learn. First of all, these are magnets. Basically what you do is cut the shapes out of felt or foam! Paint different designs on them with fabric & puffy paint, and stick a piece of double sided magnet tape on the back. It's as simple as one, two, three! Enjoy (:

Friday Letters

Dear Blog,
I'm sorry I haven't been on board with writing in you. I promise I'll be better!

Dear FL,
Please stay nice & sunny so I can get a tan before the winter comes.

Dear Previous Letter,
Haha. I almost forgot we don't get a winter! What was I thinking?

Dear Future Tattoo,
I think I know what you're gonna be. I just gotta lost 15 lbs first.

Dear Unhealthy Food,
We're over! Stop trying to pop back in my life.

Dear Lady Gaga,
See you in March <3

Dear Followers,
Don't judge me!! haha.

Dear Hair Bleach,
Please work your magic when I redo my hair tomorrow.

Sunday Social

This weeks questions:

1. What do you miss most about being a kid?
I miss everything about my childhood, but mainly how close my family once was. I miss the sleepovers and boat days. I especially miss my dad. I miss all the fun things we would do together such as feeding birds out by the river and taking walks or bike rides around the neighborhood. I think what I miss the most are the holidays. My family would decorate the house so pretty. The holidays were so amazing and full of tradition.

2. Did you have a nickname growing up? What was it?

I never had a personalized nickname, but I was called "honey", "baby" and "booboo" a lot (:

3. What was your favorite thing to do at recess?
My friends and I would either swing on the swings or go sit somewhere in the back of the playground where no one went and just talk!

4. What did you want to be when you grew up?
Oh gosh, I'm not kidding when I say acting has always been my only dream.

5. What was your favorite toys?
Barbies, of course!

6. What is the funniest thing you did as a kid that your parents still remind you about?

My mom doesn't really remind me of anything - my dad had all the stories. I bet if he were still here, he would be reminding me of all my embarrassing moments. He was THAT DAD. Um, I can't think of anything though. Sorry guys!

Friday Letters

Hey y'all!
So I think linking up for "Friday Letters" has become a new obsession of mine. I think "link-ups" have in general. I was disappointed that there wasn't an "Inspire Me: Healthy" link up today! But that's okay because there hasn't been too much progress in that area lately! I didn't have too many THINGS to write to this week, but here are some of my letters. I hope everybody has an amazing weekend!
____________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Friday,
and so we meet again.

Dear Bronchitis,
You can go away now!

Dear October,
It feels like last October was just yesterday.

Dear NYC,
I wish I lived inside of you and spent my mornings in cute little coffee shops and evenings walking around town wearing trench coats, just shopping and amazed by the lights <3

Dear England,
You would be amazing to live inside, too.

Dear Southern States,
You will always have my heart.

Dear Handsome Barista at Starbucks,
Marry me?

Dear "Twilight Lip Reading" Video,
ROFL!!

Sunday Social

This Weeks Questions:

1. What is something you have wanted to do but are afraid of?

My biggest dreams scare me. I would love to go after something big such as acting or modeling and not take no for an answer. I think that goes for things I want in general. I want to be someone who makes it happen.

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

In five years I see myself with a career (in who knows what) becoming a success and inspiration.

3. What are you looking forward to before the end of 2012?

Achieving my goals, getting in shape and working on self improvement. I'm looking forward to taking steps towards getting my life in the right direction. I'm also looking forward to those miracles and the amazing things that happen when you least expect them. Also, the holidays, of course!

4. What are your hopes for your blog?

I hope to better my writing skills along with my people and conversational skills. I hope to eventually write about things that almost anyone can relate to, I just want to be an amazing blogger (:

5. Do you always see yourself living in your current town/city?

I like where I'm living now. It's grown on me a lot and the fact that I have so many childhood memories here is very special to me. BUT I want to be somewhere else. I would love to be in New York City or somewhere just working towards a successful life.

6. What is your morning routine?

Wake up - use the bathroom (: - wash my hands - put my contacts in - wash my face - brush & floss - shower - deodorant & perfume - makeup - get dressed - hair! Voila!

Have a happy Sunday (:

Fridays Letters

It's Friday, Friday, Friday! I think those are the only words I know to that horribly annoying yet catchy song. Well hello there Friday, we meet again! Seriously ladies, unemployment is messing with me. Yesterday and the day before were also Friday for me. Well happy Friday to all of you who are happy that it's Friday! Before I start writing one sentence letters to random happenings in my life, I want to give a big thank you to Caitlyn! Last night she made a donation to my Relay team. If your interested read about it here - I will continue taking October sponsors for donations until October 1st. _________________________________________________________________________________
Dear Friday, I feel like you're never ended. I'm starting to wonder if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Dear job starting October 1st, I think I'd rather live a never ending Friday than to go work for you! But I have decided that I will go to to you even though you're 30 minutes out of my way and something I do not want to do.
Dear Starbucks, Thank you. For everything.

Dear Relay for Life team, I look forward to working with you to fight the horrible disease. Being a part of you feels truly rewarding.
Dear Cancer, You've effected me enough, I will put a stop to you!
Dear New Followers, Thank you <3
Dear Followers in General, Thank you <3
Dear Michaels Arts and Crafts, I think you and that guy Starbucks are just trying to team against me.
Dear hair, I know you're a mess lately but taming you to be washed every few days rather than every day will benefit you eventually!
Dear 90's, I was reminiscing about your amazing songs, movies and shows last night. Come back?
Dear weekend, Bring it (:

Inspire Me: Healthy & Dream Job

Hi ladies - if you didn't see yesterdays post, I'm taking October sponsors for a donation to the American Cancer Society! Please read my post, at least.

I want to thank Karen and Allie for their generous donations! These girls literally made my day yesterday - words can't explain how grateful I am to have such amazing followers and now sponsors!
_________________________________________________________________________________

I don't know whether y'all are going to hate me or love me for saying this, but I don't want to make weight loss my main goal anymore. I've decided that there are much more important things I should be making my life revolve around then being strict and trying to lose weight. With that being said and my mindset being changed, I am still going to work on being healthier and making better choices. When you forbid yourself from doing something, you only make yourself crazy. If I lose 30 pounds in this process, then that will definitely be a bonus. I am still changing my lifestyle, but this time I'm doing it because I want to not because I have to.
Inspire me: Dream Job

You may think this is crazy, but acting has always been my dream job. One day I plan to be a movie or Broadway star. Either or. But best believe I will. hehe!

Realistically speaking, I would love to be a marine biologist and save the dolphins, whales and all the other cute sea critters!

Who wouldn't want to make discoveries under the sea ((: just the possibility of meeting Nemo and Swimming with Ariels family make me happy! Anyway, I hope you all have a happy Thursday!! xoxo
