I guess I can just write about whatever I want on this day. Yahoo!!
First off, obviously I changed my blog template. I like one, I think it looks very summer-cafe-ish. It looks nice and clean as well. I don't really like those templates where crap is strewn all over the place and you have trouble reading things. This template is really pretty I think. I like it, until I find one I like better that is!
I feel so relieved right now. Like a HUGE weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Okay so I was supposed to have my final exam for my business law class next Sunday, in a week and half. I scheduled that date at the beginning of my course even though I really had until the end of August because I thought I could squish all the work into a shorter period of time. Little did I know that I would be kind of busy and not really have enough time to squish it all together. So I'm sitting here, freaking out that I have way too much work to do in a week and a half so I decided to call up the school and ask if I could change the date. It was no problem to them, way easier than I thought it would be. So YAY! Of course this doesn't mean that I should slack off and leave things until the very end, it just means that I don't need to so much work in so little time. I now have more than enough time to get everything situated.
This weekend we are going to our friends wedding. Jeff is a groomsman. It should be really fun, especially because the wedding is at a casino and I want to play me some Black Jack! Oh God, I'll probably lose all my money in about 2 minutes haha.
I wish I had time to write more because a lot of other things are happening too, but Jeff and I are going into the city tonight so I can go on a little makeup shopping spree and I need to get ready. YAY SHOPPING!

Day 05 — Your Favourite Quote
I'm waiting for my 30 minute hair dye job to set in before I wash it out, so I decided I'd continue on with this. By the way, my hair is supposed to come out as "Natural Medium Auburn"... hopefully it works out okay!
My favourite quote is:
"You gotta love livin' baby, 'cause dyin' is a pain in the ass!" - Frank Sinatra.
First of all let me start by saying that I am a HUGE Frank Sinatra fan. There was never anyone like him and there never will be. He had an amazing voice, he was an amazing actor, and when he was around, people knew to watch there back because you don't mess with Frank! He died in the 1998, but his legacy will live on forever.
I love this quote because it is so true. You have to love being alive and you have to make the best of all your days because everyone is going to die eventually and if your life was not enjoyed, you basically wasted everything. Death sucks, so live your life while you've got it. This quote is like a personal motto to me.

Day 04 — Your Favourite Book
Yes, I know I've been slacking on this 30 day challenge thing. I have a good excuse though! I've been completely SWAMPED with school work. My final exam is only 2 weeks away and want to get as much study time in as possible. I'm taking a break though, so here is day 4 - Favourite Book.
My favourite book of the moment is Twilight. I started reading it last week and I am almost finished. I have never seen the movies and I decided that I should read the books before I get that far ahead of myself. I swore to myself that I wouldn't let this Twi-craze get to me, but sadly it has.
My ALL-TIME favourite book ever is Of Mice and Men. I first read it in grade 10 English (it was a requirement, the whole class had to read it). I loved it so much that I didn't give back the school copy that I was loaned and I still have it. It's a story that makes you feel good and sad all in one. I love how George takes care of Lennie, who is mentally disabled, even when he doesn't have too. Its such a good book. I think I'm going to start reading it again!

Day 03 — Your Favourite Television Program
Welcome to day 3!
My favourite television program of ALL TIME was and still is Charmed. Yes, I know it got cancelled like 6 years ago or something like that, but whatever. It was on for 9 years and dammit that was a good 9 years! I was so obsessed with this show. I would even unplugged my phone when it came on so that I wouldn't be interrupted. I even had a Charmed website that got over 100,000 hits and some girl from Spain commented on the comment board that it was an awesome site! Of course, the real reason I loved Charmed so much was the sexy ass guys they had on that show. Leo Wyatt... hottest white lighter ever! I had a picture of him in my purse. Yes, I was a loser in high school. Deal with it. Then came sexy demon Cole, and sexy Charmed son's Chris and Wyatt... ah I miss that show. Good thing I have the first 3 seasons on DVD! Thanks Mom!
Today, my favourite show is Intervention. I like it because it's real life. I feel bad for some of the people on that show, and other people I just laugh at. New season starting June 28th, I can't wait!
I also watch Hell's Kitchen, The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Canada's Worst Handyman/Driver, Deadliest Catch, House, Bones, Glee... yes I watch a lot but I live in a retirement town in freakin' Manitoba, what else is there to do?

Day 02 — Your Favourite Movie
My favourite movie is Forrest Gump.
I have seen this movie probably over 100 times, due to it being on some TV channel every weekend and I have it burned on disc as well. How could you not like this movie? It's so sad, but it makes you feel really happy too. It shows that no matter how much people think you can't do anything, you can really do whatever you want as long as you try hard enough.
The acting is amazing in this movie! Tom Hanks is just incredible, and that is why he won a best actor Oscar for this film. If he didn't win, there probably would have been riots or something lol. My favourite person in the movie though is Lieutenant Dan, played by Gary Sinise. He unfortunately did not win an Oscar for some messed up reason. He deserved it more than anyone else did that's for sure.
Over all, Forrest Gump is just that one movie that I can't get enough of. Even if I find it on TV and it's already half way through, I'll still watch it. It sucks me in.

Day 01 — Your Favourite Song
Well, I actually have 2 favourite songs. Is that allowed? Oh well.
My first favourite song is "I'm From The Country" by Tracy Byrd. Let me start off by saying I grew up listening to country music. My mom turned the country radio station on as soon as she got up in the morning and it only went off around dinner time. I used to hate country music because it's all we listened to and I got so sick of it, but now I really love it! It's great music to get your drink on to lol. This song is the best because it's just the best. I'm not really from the country, but my family is really crazy like back woods country folk, so in a way I kind of am haha. Every time I hear this song, I turn it WAY up and start singing... no, SCREAMING along. Every once in a while I burn a mixed country CD to put in the car and this song is always the first track on every CD I make. It's basically on about 7 CD's in the car right now lol. I'm obsessed.
My second favourite song is "Jesse's Girl" by Rick Springfield. It's a song from the 80's but I first heard it about 5 years ago on a trip to Nova Scotia. Instant love. I think the most I have ever listened to this song in one day was 25 times, I had it on repeat. How can you not love this song? We even have it on a karaoke CD for our Karaoke player and I sing it every time. It doesn't even sound a quarter good as the original, but whatever. I always request it at parties and dances too.
If you haven't heard these 2 songs and you know me, you don't hang around me that often lol.
