The movie of my life

My best bud Jillio and I always used to cast the movie of our life. At one point I think our payroll was a BAJILLION dollars because every person in our movies was super famous. But that's the fun of casting your own movie ;) The cast and characters always change, because the important and prominent people in your life changes constantly. And of course, I hope noone is offended, and I'm sure ages and such are off. As I think about it and get suggestions, these could change. So here it is for now.

Erin - Claire Danes
Josh - Bruce Willis
Brayden - Himself (oh yeah, he could do it)
Janice - Natalie Portman
Rachel - Molly Shannon
Dana - Parker Posey
Janna - Lauren Holly
Heather - Kimberly Williams-Paisley
Kath - Isla Fisher
Steve - Bradley Cooper
Mike - Kevin James
Molly - Alyson Hannigan
Jill - Charlize Theron
Jessi - Renee Zellwegger
Amac - Jennifer Garner
Anew - Amy Adams (for obvious reasons :)
Mom B - Annette Benning
Dad B - Phil Donahue
Spencer - Matt Damon
Jenny - Amy Brenneman

Whaddya think?

Welcome to my life

A steal from J-Star (everyone seems to use pseudonyms on these blogs...)

You'll often find me in
During this season, I am often found in a sweatshirt, preferably KU. Maybe with my new KU slippers (thanks Ame!). During the day though, I'm usually wearing my Y work clothes, i.e. my staff shirt with stretchy black pants. Comfy!
But I feel like I'm doing much better lately about being "presentable", I'm really into incorporating jewelry to make my boring clothes seem more interesting. And I LOVE my birkenstock clogs. Not fashionable, I know.

My beauty philosophy
"All about making myself feel good." This is what J-Star said, and I agree. The way I make myself feel good is being healthy, by exercising and eating right. If I do that, I feel beautiful, seriously. But I also think that, as cliche as it sounds, everyone has beauty that can only be conveyed if the person is confident and comfortable in their own skin. I think self confidence radiates such beauty, and can only be found by realizing your identity through Christ, and the unique person He has made you.

I can't live without
My morning coffee, exercise, my daily luna bar fix, Brayden's giggle.

A golden rule
If you have an issue with someone, confront them or shut your trap. Nothing else is helpful.

I've always had a crush on
I'll have to say Chipper Jones. Since I was like 12.

I'd describe my house as
Hmmm...home. That's all I can say. We feel comfortable here, we love coming home here. Even if it's coming back from seeing the family we love, and even if it doesn't have all the fancy trimmings, it's home. I'm seeking to make it more simple and organized. Not a fan of clutter. Which is hard when living with a man and a toddler.

I always serve guests
Coffee. All of our guests love coffee. I also usually try to make dessert when we have guests.

One stop shop
Target!! Definitely.

My life is organized into
LOTS! Home, Work, Kid, Marriage, Friends, Health, Church...much more i'm sure.
Well, that is my New Years Resolution - more organization. I'm not super anal or anything, I just want life to be more simple so we have more time for the good stuff.

I will never give up
I hate to say never. I'll probably have to say exercise, because in some aspect I hope to always be able to exercise. I can see myself having to give up coffee (which was my first instinct) for some health reason. But I hope not :)

Worst "Blogger" Ever

That's me. The worst blogger ever. I just don't know if it's for me. I just don't seem to set it as a priority right now. After checking my email and facebook, and checking all the blogs of my other friends, I'm pretty much done with doing anything on the computer. AND, I just don't have that much to write about! Sure, I have an adorable redheaded son (who just got his haircut today), a wonderful husband, 2 big dogs who continually annoy us but also steal our hearts at the end of the day, and we live halfway across the country from where we began. Well, after saying that, I'm sure I could find SOMETHING interesting to blog about.
