So if anyone reads People.com, you know that at the end of every year, they have a page that is dedicated to the "Best of 2011". It may be about style, funny quotes, whatever floats their boat. I have decided to do the same thing, but in blog form.
Note: Just to keep each category from being too long (no one wants to read one blog entry that takes an hr to read), I am only going to choose the top five.
My Top 5 Obsessions:
- Twilight (the release of Breaking Dawn)
- True Blood
- Blogging
- Crafting (esp. this Halloween)
- Reading
My Top 5 TV Shows:
- True Blood
- Dexter
- Law and Order: SVU
- Once Upon a Time
- Pan Am
My Top Five Favorite Quotes:
- "Light up the darkness" - Bob Marley
- "I try to believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast." - Alice Kingsley
- "Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute." - Gil Stern
- "The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it." - Charles Swindoll
- "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated” -
Mahatma Gandhi

Marilyn, you guys have done the same for me! :) I feel like this is a community where we can all laugh (with, at) and cry together. I feel like I know each of you, just like I do my friends here "in person". I hope that whatever you are going through isn't serious and that someone will always be there to "save the day". :) Hope you have a great holiday!
ReplyDeleteKed - Thanks! I can't wait to read yours post -- I'm sure it will be very entertaining! One request though? More funny pics of Lilly!
Vivienne - Thank you! I have really enjoyed following your blog... I like that it isn't focused on one "specific" topic. Happy holidays to you and your girls! :]
