We finally put our Christmas tree up! :c)

Thursday's Things That Annoy Me... [ with Linky]

I mentioned in my Hey! It's Ok!  Entry on Tuesday that I was tempted to start a Thursday's Things That Annoy me.  Then I thought that might be too negative.  But really, isn't it nice to write or talk about something that annoys you?  It seems to help annoy less, or at least find others that have the same annoyance.  Anywho.

One thing that annoys me the most is people who don't know how to drive.  It seems there are a lot of people in Gainesville who think they know how to drive but can't.  It seems to get worse around the holidays.  I suppose that's because I live in a college town and that means that the students are getting restless, they want to finish the semester to get home to their families, or vacations.   There are so many instances I could write about, but I'll stick with my biggest pet peeve; which happens year round.

My biggest driving pet peeve is when people do not get over for critical vehicles (Ambulances/Firetrucks/Cops).  Those precious seconds could mean someone's life people!   I just get annoyed every time I see it.

So, what's annoying you today?  Want to get it off your chest?  Feel free to leave it below.  If you do an entry linky below :c)

Icon so that there will be an icon on the  "related posts you may like" it shows an icon.

Wordless Wednesday: Self Portraits

Hey! It's ok!

Idea from Amber/WhisperingWriter.  She got this idea from Glamour magazine. They have a section called Hey, It’s Okay and will list a bunch of things to be okay about. You're welcome to join in and do something like this on your blog. Doesn't have to be on a Tuesday either. Just make sure you link up on her entry! 

------------

- To create a Hey, It’s Ok! Icon.  Actually I just made a quick one with text because when it lists on my entries the other entries you may be interested in I like for them to have pictures lol.  Awkward sentence, but you get the point.

-To dance to be fit.  It’s something new Kim and I are starting.  We are making youtube videos to document our journey.  This should be interesting.  Comments and motivation greatly appreciated :c)

-To think it’s funny that one of the girls from Teen Mom is Twitighting (Twitter Fighting, I just made it up lol) with the Kardashians because they are pregnant our of wedlock.

-To be excited for Amber getting her vows renewed on Saturday. :c)

- To love ABC Family’s 25 Days of Christmas, and Lifetime’s It’s a Wonderful Lifetime, or whatever their slogan is this year lol.  Love Christmas movies :c)

Dance 2 B Fit!

Kim and I are starting a new challenge.  We're going to dance to loose weight, awesome right?  We'll be documenting this in our youtube videos.  So exciting :c)

On the Drive Home

Yay!  I made it!  I did an entry everyday in November, though I admit some were lame lol.  But I reached my goal!  Usually I start those kind of things and stop after a week or so.

I took these pictures when we were driving home Thanksgiving (well as Tony was driving)  I particularly love this first one :c)

Hey It's Ok Tuesday!

I'm linking up with Amber at Airing my Dirty Laundry, One Sock at a Time. 

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. They have a section called Hey, It’s Okay and will list a bunch of things to be okay about. You're welcome to join in and do something like this on your blog. Doesn't have to be on a Tuesday either. 

Hey it's ok....

-To post two blog entries in one day :c)

-To post pictures of fruit [see previous entry]

-To love books and want everyone to vote for their favorite [if listed] at:

2011 Goodreads Choice Awards: Favorite Book of 2011 Vote now for your favorite books!

-To be glad November is almost over so that NoJoMo and the 30 Days of Thankfulness [on Facebook] is over.  I'm glad I've made it through each and such but there were some days I didn't feel like it. lol.  Normally I give up after a week or so, so this was nice :c)

-To change the look of your blog.  I liked the black and what I did, but browsing through more and more blogs the ones I like visiting are lighter and just feel more fun, because the black was starting to feel a little depressing. lol.  So please bear with me as I find myself in this blogging world; though I did change my OD often also.  Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome :c)

-To be excited, but nervous about the new thing Kim and I are going to be doing in addition to N3RDc@st.  Details coming very soon :c)

-To notice that you :c) an awfully lot.  and lol.  Sorry! heh ..[I was about to type another :c) there but stopped myself lol]

-To listen to songs from back in the day.  Someone posted on Facebook that they were jamming to Spice Girls so I've been taking a trip back to memory lane with S Club 7, All Saints, Bewitched, Aqua, etc. I kept clicking "You may also like" on iTunes finding more groups I used to like.

-To then feel old when you think that if a baby was born when you used to listen to those songs they are now a teenager.  A TEENager!  Oy vey!

-To not know why I went Yiddish there, but it conveys the message.  I think it's from the Hallmark movie we watched this weekend.  Loved the movies, but one of my favorite scenes was when the Rabbi was in the hospital.  [Let me back up- It was based on a true story from Mitch Albom (Tuesdays with Morrie).  his Rabbi asked him to do his Eulogy for him; even though he was not dieing yet.  So Mitch would visit often so that he would know what to talk about when the time came.  He ends up being inspired to help others and finds a church running a homeless shelter with a roof in the ceiling and comes to know the Pastor)  Anyways, the Rabbi ended up in the hospital and Mitch was there visiting.  The nurse came in and asked if he was family because it was only family visiting time.  The Rabbi then said don't you know he's my (random Yiddish sounding words)   And the nurse was like "Umm,ok"  When the nurse left Mitch asked what that was and the Rabbi said "Who knows?"  It was cute.
