30 Days of Photos

I’m stealing this idea from my BFF in order to get me blogging again.  I got caught up with returning to work, starting daycare, and being diagnosed with post-partum depression that writing got cast to the wayside.  So, here I go again.

Here is the challenge:

·         Day 01 - A picture of yourself with fifteen facts.

·         Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been close with for the longest.

·         Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show.

·         Day 04 - A picture of your night.

·         Day 05 - A picture of your favorite memory.

·         Day 06 - A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day.

·         Day 07 - A picture of your most treasured item.

·         Day 08 - A picture that makes you laugh.

·         Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.

·         Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the most messed up things with.

·         Day 11 - A picture of something you hate.

·         Day 12 - A picture of something you love.

·         Day 13 - A picture of your favorite band or artist.

·         Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without.

·         Day 15 - A picture of something you want to do before you die.

·         Day 16 - A picture of someone who inspires you.

·         Day 17 - A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently.

·         Day 18 - A picture of your biggest insecurity.

·         Day 19 - A picture of you when you were little.

·         Day 20 - A picture of somewhere you'd love to travel.

·         Day 21 - A picture of something you wish you could forget.

·         Day 22 - A picture of something you wish you were better at.

·         Day 23 - A picture of your favorite book.

·         Day 24 - A picture of something you wish you could change.

·         Day 25 - A picture of your day.

·         Day 26 - A picture of something that means a lot to you.

·         Day 27 - A picture of yourself and a family member.

·         Day 28 - A picture of something you're afraid of.

·         Day 29 - A picture that can always make you smile.

·         Day 30 - A picture of someone you miss.

So, here is day 1:



Me at the beach circa 2008



1.       I love my middle name.  It’s Leigh.  And, I don’t like the name “Lee.” And, I even considered going by Leigh in college vs Jessica.  But, I never followed through with that.  And, I’m glad I didn’t, cuz, I ended up having a bunch of classes with a dude named Leigh.

2.      I wish I were taller.  Yes, I know, people probably are rolling their eyes at me, but, I have this weird obsession with being tall (I have the pumps to prove it).  And, I’m already “tall” (5’7”), but I still want to be taller.  I’d say, I’d like to be no shorter than 5’9”, but, I don’t think I’d want to be over 6’ either.

3.      I am not creative.  At least not in the traditional sense.  Ok, yes, I can play the violin, carry a tune, and pretty much figure out anything having to do with music, but that does not make me creative.  I used to hate having assignments that were “choose your own topic” – cuz I never knew what to choose.  I need direction!  Which is why I like music – I have pieces of paper that tell me what to do.

4.      I am addicted to Angry Birds.  Who isn’t?

5.      I love the color red.  I especially love wearing it.

6.      When my hair was really blonde, I used to always want to be a brunette.  Now that it’s darker, I wish I were more blonde!  Secretly though, I’d kill to be a redhead – like:

Kate Walsh red (yes I know her color is fake)

NOT

Carrot Top red

7.      I have never broken a bone – knocks on wood

8.      I have three cats (who are currently annoying me, but, are slowly working their way back up the snuggle pole)

9.       I am REALLY anal about time.  Seriously.  I’d rather be 20min early than 2 minutes late.

10.   I used to hate pork, but, moving to “The dirty souf!” changed that.  Now I love me some BBQ pulled pork!  But, I always loved bacon.  Mmmmm, bacon!

11.   Continuing on with the food trend, my favorite cake is Red Velvet.  Followed by “Funfetti” in a close second!

12.   When I was little I used to want to be a princess.  And then a veterinarian. And now I’m a surveying & mapping supervisor. 

13.   I once was a competitive swimmer. 

14.   I love the fall.  And the spring is growing on me.  But, I can live without the summer – for the most part.  Except I love the beach.  So, gimme the beach in the spring.

15.  I had a hard time thinking of this list.  It’s totally because I’m not creative (see #3).  I could have used a little more direction!
