Day 30: A picture of yourself this day and 5 good things that happened since you started the challenge. The fall tv season has started! Some days it is not as hot as it was last month. Pumpkin Spice is back at Starbucks! (though I have yet to purchase a PS drink yet I bought some new nail polish a couple weeks ago. We are 30 days closer to Christmas! And a picture of myself. I just took this a few minutes ago. I’m already in my pajamas and looking not so fresh, so I used a filter.

Day 29: Who is your hero? Honestly, I don’t have one. There are people I admire, people I’m proud of, people I’m a fan of, people I love, but none of them are my hero.

Day 28: What stresses you out? It should more be like, what doesn’t stress me out. Since losing my job in February of 2011, it’s been almost non-stop stress for one thing or another. I mean trying to find a new job is stressful. Then add in my medical issues and there’s more stress. Not having money to pay for rent (or any other bills)… more stress. And for me, when there is that much stress I sometimes just shut down. Like I stop whatever I was doing and just start staring off into space, zoned out, because it’s just too much.  

Day 27: Photo of your city. I’ve got 6 photos for you and I didn’t take any of them. I was originally going to take quick shots with my camera phone, but couldn’t figure out what to take pics of. Even googling for pictures didn’t get me very much. Before the pictures, I thought I would give you some other “fun” facts about Manteca. First off, Manteca is Spanish for LARD. So basically I live in Lard, California. The town was founded in 1861. We have a population of roughly 68,000 people. For being such a small town there are 6 high schools and 21 elementary schools. There are some (somewhat) famous people…

Day 26: Your Dream Wedding. Of course I have a Wedding board on Pinterest. It’s nowhere near complete (as in I don’t have at least 1 pin for everything that needs to be done/purchased), but it has starting-ish points. I don’t go looking for wedding pins, I just see them as they come though my feed. I used to have a box where I kept wedding ideas I liked. It was mostly pages ripped from magazines. I have no idea what happened to it as I haven’t seen it in a few years, but I think it ended up getting thrown out when I moved in April. I started that box…

Day 25: Something you are looking forward to. Not having knee and back pain. Not sure when this will be, but whenever it happens I will be grateful. Getting a job. Having something to focus on, something that’s not a hobby that is, will be good. More of the cooler weather coming our way now that it’s fall.

Day 24: Something you’ve learned. How to create a website. I’ve never taken a class and I’m basically self taught using html help type websites. My first “website” was all links. The front page had a menu leading to other pages and every page was a different category of links. Music – links to my favorite band’s/artists websites. Movies/TV – links to the show or movie’s best fan site or official site. Stuff like that. And remember the first type of animated gifs? I had some of those sprinkled around the site too. That was using AOL’s Easy Designer and a links site was basically all you could do. After…

Day 23: Favorite Movies and TV Show. Honestly, it could take me all day to name all the shows and movies I love. I can never have just one favorite. Colors, books, websites, movies, tv shows, musical artists, songs, etc… there are at least 3 for each. TV shows: I tried to narrow this down as much as I could, but out of all the shows I’m planning to watch this coming season these are my favorites. 2 Broke Girls Big Bang Theory Bones Castle Criminal Minds CSI: Grey’s Anatomy Pretty Little Liars Scandal Supernatural Vampire Diaries The Walking Dead If I had to narrow this down to a top…

Day 22: What do you want your future to be like? Right now I’d just like a job and the salary to live in an apartment on my own (aka no roommates) and be able to pay all my bills. If I was answering this when I already had those things, I’d want my future to include owning my own home, maybe a nicer car, a better cell phone. Oh and a boyfriend. I’d like one of those again please. lol

Day 21: Something you’re proud of. I’m proud of my brother for graduating college. He got his BS in Criminal Justice last year. He wants to be a cop. It is a really lengthy process to get accepted into an academy, which makes sense considering what they will be doing. There’s about 9 steps to go through and it’s an average of like a year and a half to get through everything. I’m proud of my niece and nephews for the little human beings they are becoming. My niece will be 11 in November, one of my nephews will be 7 in October and the other will be 9 next…
