Far Too Attached to TV

It's not a secret I am far too attached to TV shows. One of my favorite shows is The Office. Even though the last few seasons have been hit and miss, I just love the show and the characters. Derek and I watch this show together, so sometimes we fall behind on episodes, but we always catch up on our favorite Scranton residents when we have free time. We watched the first half of the season over Christmas and have tried to stay caught up since then. I have kind of hated all the tension with Pam and Jim this season, but I like that the writers have kept their relationship so real and believable. The last episode we watched, Jim and Pam hugged it out at the end of the episode (which may have left me in tears) and it was epic and perfect. Apparently this week is Part 1 of the finale and these last episodes are longer. YEAH!!

This week Jimmy Fallon (another one of my fav. shows on TV) had Jim and Pam on the show! I may have teared up a little watching the interview with Jenna Fisher as she talked about the amazing chemistry between her and John Krasinski. Of course the internet quickly giffed the interview and now we have awesome reminders of her classic comments (see below).

Is it wrong that I choose to believe they are married in real life? 

When John Krasinski was on he challenged Jimmy to a lip sync battle. I stupidly watched this video while I was at my desk at work and was crying from laughing so hard. Take a few minutes to watch the video and let it brighten your day!

I can't wait to see who comes back in the finale episodes and how they end my favorite comedy. Let's pray this isn't a Seinfeld finale, but more like a Friends finale!

Bucket List: 30 by 30

I have been thinking about a lot of things that I want to do with my time. Some weeks go by and I feel like I don't accomplish all that much in the time that I have been given. I saw a story on Facebook that talked about how time is like a bank. Every day our bank is restocked with time, and often we just spend the time, not noticing where our time is spent. I totally feel like that! Since I am a manic list maker, I decided to make a list of all of the things I want to do with my time. I have had this list slowly building on my desktop at work and then today I figured out what to do with it! I was on my friend Caitlin's blog, stalking her cute kids and saw a link to her 30 before 30 post. She made a list of 30 things to do before she turned 30 and I was inspired. I added 6 or 7 more things to my list to complete it and boom, here we are. My own list of 30 things to do before I turn 30. Some are rather bold, but at least I have some fun things to look forward to! Maybe if I don't accomplish all of them they can be added to my 40 things to do before 40 list ;)

Here it is:

1. Run a 10K
2. Go to England and see all the places I have read about
3. Read the Book of Mormon and New Testament as a family
4. Go on a vacation every year with Derek
5. Make a quilt
6. Re-learn how to knit and make a scarf
7. Make a scrapbook of the first few years of our marriage
8. Learn to play my favorite hymn on the piano (Abide With Me 'Tis Eventide)
9. Have a 3 month supply of food storage
10. Participate in the dedication and ceremony for the Ft. Lauderdale temple (Coming 2014)
11. Go to Pennsylvania again
12. Visit Mike while he lives in Chicago
13. Learn how to use my camera and take pictures
14. Get to know the city of Miami
15. Rescue a dog
16. Throw a New Year’s Eve Party
17. Grow an urban garden
18. Enjoy the ocean at least 1 time a month while in Miami
19. Learn to give myself a professional mani/pedi
20. Read a book about a prophet (recommendations welcome)

5 Things About Me

So the 5 Things You Didnt Know About Me things has been going around on Insta. I caved and posted the other day and I thought it would be fun to post it to the blog too so I remember it. I added a little to some of them just for fun.

1. I have never broken a bone or had stitches, but I had a kidney stone in college. (It sucked hard core!) I was on a retreat for a BYU leadership camp up in the mountains. I can't look at BYU creamery buckets the same after yacking in one on the drive to the hospital. (sorry I'm not sorry for the detail)

2. I am seriously afraid of birds. I run from them at the beach. I also hate bird exhibits at the zoo and almost had a panic attack when I nannied and took the kids into the exhibit.

3. I met my husband when I was a kid and had a crush on him growing up. I remember waiting for him to ask me to dance at youth dances and EFY.

4. I had my first kiss at 16 (almost 17). It was on my front porch and very cliche. I thought I was going to puke I was so nervous.

5. I didn't break 100 lbs until college. I would have been in a booster seat until 10th grade by today's car safety rules. Thanks Mom and Dad for the high metabolism :)
