30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 07

Day 7 – Your dream wedding.

So, this is going to be a little awkward.  I don't really have a dream wedding. To be honest, I haven't really given my actual wedding much thought. I mean, I want to get married, sure. But the actual logistics of the day...don't have a clue.

Heck, I wouldn't even know what I wanted my ring to look like. Besides it not being very large, or actually being a real diamond. I mean, I know that's probably super scandalous, but to be a diamond grown in a lab is waaaaaaay more awesome and science-y. It's basically the same as a diamond, and actually 100% perfect. Oh, and a titanium band, because titanium alloys are awesome! I mean, they're used in space shuttles.

To be honest, now that I'm hearing about how much a wedding actually costs - and finding out that I could put a down payment on a house for what I would spend on one day - getting married on a cruise sounds better and better. When I think about getting married, besides vowing to spend the rest of my life with the love of my life, I also look forward to spending time with family and friends who I haven't seen in years.

With a regular wedding, I'd only get to see them for a few minutes. But on a cruise, we could mingle and hang out for several days! And everyone is going to have to pay for a flight and hotel anyway, so why not make a big vacation party out of it?

Plus, I've never been on a cruise. It could be something nice, like through the Mediterranean. I dunno, I figure I can cross this bridge when I come to it.

30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 06

Day 6 – A photo of an animal you’d love to keep as a pet.

Well look at that, day six is more interesting! What animal would I like to keep as a pet? No contest...

A sloth! How adorable are they? And just the fact that this animal somehow evolved and managed to not go extinct while being probably the laziest creature in all of the animal kingdom is just astounding.

I love these little guys, but I also have a thing for pathetic animals. Mako, my late kitty friend, had no claws and was terrified of everything. Salty, the Italian Greyhound I adopted for a short time in college used to shiver when it was below 70 degrees outside. I don't know why, but owning pathetic animals is kind of my thing.

And just for funsies, my second choice? Well that would be a manatee. I've still never swam with them, but it's always been my dream.

Day 5 – A photo of yourself two years ago.

Honestly, this seems a little silly. Who cares about a picture from two years ago? Five would be far more nostalgic. But hey, I'm just doing as I'm told.

So this is from two years ago, at the Domaine Chandon winery, a stop on the Napa Valley Wine Train - a gift Steven got me for my birthday. Uhhhh...I had short hair then.

Let's hope day six is a little more interesting.

30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 04

Day 4 – Your favorite photograph of your best friend.

Whelp, at the risk of sounding incredibly corny, yes, Steven is my best friend. Let's face it - it would probably suck to not be dating your best friend.

Steven's always been there for me every time I've needed him. He's been someone to nerd out with (hence the photo above, 'Ween 2008), laugh with, a shoulder to cry on, everything. He's the first person I want to talk to when I get good news and the first person to cheer me up when I get bad news. Gotta say, I love the kid! :]

30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 03

Day 3 – Your idea of the perfect first date.

I'm a simple girl really, and in all honesty haven't been on too many "first dates" in my life. (Something about being a total geek in high school when being a geek wasn't "cool" yet.) Nor do I really plan on having another "first date".

But since you asked, my ideal first date would definitely be something nerdy & fun. Maybe a trip to a science museum or a cool exhibition. Someplace where we could talk & joke and get to know one another in a casual atmosphere.

And then sushi afterwards. Om nom nom nom.

Day 2 – A photo of something you ate today.

Veggie Sammich...Mmmmm.

For lunch today I had this delicious sandwhich: smoked cheddar, baked tofu, mixed greens, cucumbers, red onion & sunflower sprouts. It was a "build your own" selection from the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op across the street.

So yum. ^_^

30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 01

Well, I'm already rubbish at this challenge aren't I? Meant to start it yesterday, but never got around to it. So we'll just consider yesterday to be day 00 of the challenge, where I told you I was going to start it, but didn't actually commence anything.

Right? Good. So here we go...

Day 1 – A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.

Yup, that's me. Hello!

So today was pretty good. I spent the morning being lazy (very much needed, thank you), watching Archer and some X-Men cartoons. Didn't get out of my pajamas until 3. Then, Steven and I had a nice date evening to Five Guys & the movies to see Thor. 

Thor was pretty good, to be honest, I never really followed his storyline in the Marvel universe, but I liked the movie. Not my favorite Marvel flick (which is probably the first Iron Man, in case you were wondering), but still a good watch. 

Couldn't believe two tickets cost us 29 bucks though! Cheese and rice, now I remember why I don't go to the movies very often.

Anyway, day one done, 29 more to go!
