fill in the blank friday

It's Friday! I don't know why but I have been absolutely exhausted this week.  My husband rolled his ankle last weekend so I've had more house-ly duties since he can only hobble around on crutches with his fat purple foot.  But NO he won't go to the doctor! Stubborn! (like i'm one to talk haha, i'm the most stubborn person ever.)  I've got some web design class homework time to look forward to this weekend, and "the big game" on sunday that I'm sure we'll go somewhere to watch but that I couldn't care less about.  Have you seen the ridiculous restrictions the NFL has put on media/advertisements/anyone who's not the NFL? You're not allowed to say "Super Bowl" or even "New England Patriots" - how dumb is that? It is promoting your product, dummies! Anyway, obviously I'm rambling... Time to fill in the blanks!  And be sure to link up at the little things we do.

1.   If money wasn't an issue, the first thing I'd cross of my life list is     traveling the world  .

2.    Syrup on any breakfast food (eggs, bacon, sausage, etc.)     is something I like that other people think is weird.

3.  If my life were a movie right now, the title would be    "Dreaming of the Big-Time" .

4.  Three things I am looking forward to this month are     getting a new computer (hopefully!)    ,    starting my portfolio website   and     maybe planning a trip to see my friend Danielle in Missouri.

5.  My favorite song to sing in the shower is  whichever song happens to be in my head that morning .

6.  If I found out that the production of    Chipotle    was ending this month, I'd go out and buy as much as I could tomorrow.

7.  One thing I'll never grow tired of is    the excitement I get when it first starts to feel like fall.  My favorite time of the year.  .

100th post! Fill in the Blank Friday!

At least I've got Lauren's Fill in the Blank Friday's to keep me at least semi-motivated to blog once a week.  Don't know what I'd do without it!

1.   My favorite place i've ever traveled to is    italy.  i was there for a couple weeks in high school then i studied abroad for about 2 months in tuscany in college.  it's just so beautiful.  tuscany has a lot of hills though.  tell your calves to beware.   .

2.    Ireland     is somewhere I'd love to go someday. 

3.  I pass the time on a plane (or bus, or car ride or train) by     singing     .

4.  My three must-haves when I travel are     my pillow    ,    my sound machine (for white noise, otherwise I can't sleep)   and     my phone to play games on (unless I'm in a car, I'll get carsick if I try to do things while in a car)  

5.  My favorite travel companion is    my husband Conor  .

6.  The craziest thing that ever happened to me while traveling is    when I was in Paris for a couple days with my friend Rachel, and her mom had been living there for a couple months, so we were staying with her and she wanted to hang out with my friend alone, and she expected me to just go out in Paris by myself with no idea where I was, not understanding any french, having no idea what was going on.  it was really awkward after that.  i didn't go wandering alone, by the way.    .

7.  The most exotic food I've ever tried while traveling is    crazy smelly french cheese  .

8.  If I could live anywhere else, I'd live in    England.  I know it's pretty dreary there, but I'd just like to live abroad at some point.

9.  I have been to    11  states in the US.

So apparently I only do once a week blogs now, and it's all thanks to Lauren at the little things we do for hosting these link-ups.  And Lauren's going to have a baby, probably this week, so congrats!

1.   The last thing I ate was    I'm actually eating right now, we had our monthly birthday party at work and I'm eating celery sticks and dip, some fruit, and a macadamia nut cookie.  .

2.   The last song I listened to was   I hear my co-worker's radio over there playing rain by bruno mars  .

3.  Using the letters in my name I can spell    {noelle}...LEONE, LONE, NOEL, ENOL, LENO, EON, LEE, EEL, ELL, NEE, ONE, OLE, NO, OE, ON, NE, EL, EN, LO.  totally used scrabble cheat for that   .

4.  If I had to dress in one color for the rest of my life I would pick     blue,because it's my favorite and i love all shades of blue.  although gray would be a close second.  everything i pick up in the store that i'm drawn to tends to be gray.     .

5.  If you were to look in my bag right now you'd find    wallet, coupon holder, a winter hat and gloves (it's cold today!) some lip gloss, keys, receipts and probably more random paper.  .

6.  When I finish filling in the blanks I'm going to    probably go back to reading the 775 posts in my google reader (yall, i'm sooo behind, i'm reading dec 16th posts right now.) even though i'm at work so i need to be reading .

7.  My all time favorite song to dance to is   Still Fly by Big Tymers - me and my best friend Lindsey have dance moves for all the lyrics, it's so fun (and cheesy, but that's beside the point)

fill in the blank friday!

1.   One of my favorite things to do when I have free time is     watch tv.  i'm sort of a tv junkie.  and my husband makes fun of me because basically all the shows i watch are about high schoolers.  anything on the cw or abc family.

2.   When I have free time I tend to    be lazy.  i tell myself i'm going to take care of all these things for my etsy shop or around the house, and i end up just doing nothing    .

3.  If I had an entire day completely to myself I would    get a vanilla latte and a bagel from einstein bros., peruse crate and barrel and z gallerie and west elm, and maybe catch a movie - yes, i'm perfectly fine with going to the movies alone, some people think that's weird but whatever   .

4.  I would prefer to spend my free time (alone or with others...)    i'm more of a loner.  i like hanging out with my hubby, but we have different views when it comes to relaxing - i love to go walk around shops, and he would be miserable - but we both love just sitting on the couch watching a movie on a Friday night - we don't go out much, but we do meet up with friends for dinner or trivia once a week   .

5.  Most of my free time happens    on the weekend.  i'm usually printing and packaging orders after work, or cooking or grocery shopping .

6.  The best thing about free time is    being able to relax  .

7.  The next time I have free time I should probably    clean up my office   but instead, I'll probably     watch my dvr'ed episode of revenge  .

I can't believe it's already New Years.... I never really felt like it was Christmas because I was stuck in bed for a couple weeks because of my wisdom teeth surgery, so I'm definitely not feeling the New Years vibe.

1.   New Years is    refreshing- it allows you to get rid of the old and bring in the new   .

2.   One of my New Year's resolutions will be   to advance my career somehow - get a new job, learn new skills, try harder to be more confident in my abilities      .

3.  A New Year's resolution I've made in the past was to   lose weight - that's a given for any year, and last year between march and may i actually did lose around 10 pounds, and I managed to keep most of it off until november and december when the holiday eating started and I gained back about 5 pounds, so now I'll be back at it in the next few weeks.

4. The most time consuming resolution I ever made was   write a young adult novel and I wanted to write every night- that didn't last very long    .

5.  This year I will be spending New Year's Eve    most likely doing nothing. I'm still recovering from my wisdom teeth surgery, and I don't feel like going out .

6.  If I could wish one thing for my new year it would be    to be more confident in my abilities  .

7.  2012 is going to be    a year of career changes (I hope!)  .

Let's fill in some blanks!

1.   My favorite thing about this week was/is     that it is finally over.  so ready for the weekend.

2.   Colder weather makes me   kinda happy.  I like the "idea" of winter, and I like being inside all cuddled up and I love wintry decorations like branches and snowflakes and CHRISTMAS!      .

3.  Three things that make me terribly happy as of late are    hmm, i don't know that anything lately has made me "terribly happy", for the next few weeks our lives are pretty boring becuase our dog had surgery and we can't leave the house   .

4. If I could only wear one kind of shoe for the rest of my life, I'd choose    flip flops.  as long as it can be warm outside for the rest of my life   .

5.  My personality type is    INTJ. This is what the website said: You are:

• moderately expressed introvert
• moderately expressed intuitive personality
• slightly expressed thinking personality
• slightly expressed judging personality

6.  I have a serious problem resisting     food.  I have been eating like it's my job lately.  boo.

7.  My favorite color to wear is    grey.  i have a limited color palette.

Thank goodness it's almost the weekend! It's been a not-great week, I cried at work yesterday... I won't get into the specifics because I'd just end up going off on a rant, and if someone from work read it I'd probably get fired, so... whatever.  Halloween! Yay!

1.   When I was a kid I wanted to be      a dance teacher, ghost hunter, author, astronomer, tornado chaser, race car driver, singer, actress    when I grew up.

2.   As an adult, my dream job would be   working for myself, doing something crafty that I felt confident with      .

3.  W hen I was younger I wanted to be just like  mariah carey   .

4. The childhood Halloween costume that I remember most was when I was    a gypsy.  I wore the shortest daisy duke shorts I had and a flowy shirt and colorful makeup.  Come to think of it, that's the only halloween costume I even remember, and I love love love halloween.  hmm.   .

5.  My favorite childhood toy was    books (I just called my mom on these next two questions because I had no idea, she said I wasn't a big doll person, and all I ever asked for were books- I loved the Babysitter's Club Little Sister books and Goosebumps) .

6.  The time I got into the biggest amount of trouble when I was a kid was when I     my mom said I never really got into trouble.  I do remember getting my name on the board in Kindergarten because my friend was talking to me, and I was so upset over it.  I hated getting in trouble.    .

7.  I get daily inspiration from    pinterest, etsy, bloggers  .

I'm so ready for this weekend.  I'm done with my 4 saturdays in a row of class from 9-5, and I finally get to go to a football game since i had to miss two.  my html/css class was good, i definitely felt ahead of the curve as far as the other people in my class went.  some people were just completely lost, but hey, at least they're trying to better themselves.  next thursday i'm leaving to go up to a cabin in the mountains with my husband and another couple, so hopefully that will be fun, i'm hoping the leaves are changing to orange and the weather will be brisk but not too cold.  

on another note, my dog needs $4000 surgery for a torn ligament in his knee.  so that's fun.  we're going to see a specialist on tuesday to see what he says about the surgery.  the hard part is going to be trying to get my super hyper dog to stay still for 6 weeks so his leg can actually heal.  and he'll probably need rehab which is probably as expensive as the surgery.  yay.  but i love my baby and i feel like we've failed him as parents by not exercising him as much as we should have, or something.  and just so you know, CCL or ACL ligament tears in dogs are extremely common, and surgery is expensive, so i would probably get some pet insurance if i had a dog.  you always just hope nothing super expensive will ever come up, but from the people i know, there's usually something that happens in a dog's life that will warrant surgery, and having to come up with thousands of dollars at once is a lot harder than just paying the $30 a month.

anyways, on with fill in the blank friday, and don't forget to link up at the little things we do!

1.   Something popular that I can't stand/just don't "get" is     beyonce.  she just really bothers me for some reason and while we;re on the subject i also dislike lady gaga, rihanna, and ke$ha (it just killed me to type a dollar sign in her name, how lame) .

2.   Something unpopular that I secretly love is    high school shows.  I love gossip girl, 90210, the lying game, pretty little liars, the vampire diaries, secret circle.  i can't help it, that's just what i like to watch!  

3.  When I've had a bad day I   snap at people.  i'm not good at holding in my emotions   .

4. I'd prefer   fall   to    summer     any day.

5.  Something that makes me nervous is    trying to market myself, i just don't have enough self-confidence in my abilities .

6.  Something worth fighting for is     freedom.  thanks to all the people who allow me to live my life the way i choose   .

7.  When people think of me, I hope they think    "she is pretty.  she is fun. she is silly.  she is smart."

Finally Friday! I had a dream I was fired last night, then I woke up in the middle of the night thinking it was Saturday and that I didn't have to go to work today, then I went back to sleep after my 25 minutes of snoozes finished and made it to work 30 minutes late.

So the point is, I'm so ready for it to be the weekend! I think I've been even more excited about weekends lately because I'm just so tired of the same boring job every day.  I just need about a month of vacation to get refreshed, without losing my job.  riiiiiigggghhhhhttt, like that'll happen haha.

1.   One of life's most simple pleasures is     reading on a bay window seat while its raining outside (I really want a bay window!)  .

2.    Having to listen to my coworker singing allll daaaay long if I'm already in a bad mood      makes me want to punch someone.

3.  I like   colored sharpies    because,    they are awesome, and colorful, and permanent  .

4.    Uranus   is a funny word.

5.  If I had to choose one beauty product to use for the rest of eternity it would be    You know, I'm not really a "product" kind of girl... I love my new C.O. Bigelow peppermint lip gloss (no. 1122), it's lickable and makes your lips kinda tingly.

6.  I'm happy that    it's friday, thank goodness    .

7.  I would never     hmm... I just clicked on almost every link on Lauren's blog trying to get an idea, and there was nothing that I thought fit me.  I guess I'll just say that I would never say never    .
