5. Steak 

SBC: What I'm Reading + Hobbies

Right now I am reading Lauren Graham's first novel, Someday, Someday, Maybe. I love Lauren Graham (She was Lorelai Gilmore on Gilmore Girls, one of my top favorite TV shows of all time!) This book is about Franny, a wannabe actress who is trying to make it in New York City. I'll let y'all know how it turns out!

Here is the link to the book on Amazon.

Top 5 Hobbies:

1) Playing the piano.

2) Eat. Yes it is a hobby. And a good one at that, thank you very much.

3) Cook.

4) Read.

5) Pinterest.

SBC Day 24

Favorite form of exercise and why

Those of you who know me personally know this post is hilarious when it concerns me. I DON'T run. I DON'T exercise. It's sad. But I really like walking. I walk to and from school every day, which is about 2 miles all together. It is very enjoyable to me, especially now that it is getting cooler. I used to be very faithful to the gym and I would walk on the treadmill watching TV for over an hour. Most people think it is boring but I find it relaxing. So I guess that qualifies as my favorite form of exercise! :)

SBC Day 23: Things you want to learn how to do

1. Learn how to play the piano better. I play pretty well now but I would like to just be able to sit down and play anything.

2. Learn how to ballroom dance. Dancing used to be so beautiful, now it's just gross sometimes.

*Fun quote: "Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels." 

3. Learn how to decorate cakes/cupcakes.

Not too much longer until we get to bring out the boots, scarves, and sweaters!!!

SBC Day 19 & 20

I went home this weekend so I did not really take time to post.

Day 19: Favorite sites/blogs

One of my favorite blogs is one my friend writes! You can find it here!

One of my favorite sites.... is Pinterest. It's addictive. Here's the link to my Pinterest page!


Day 20: A cause you're passionate about

I don't know if you would call it a "cause" but I am very passionate about singing. I love old fashioned shape note singing, which is a style of teaching music that is almost dying out. I would encourage anyone who loves music to go to a singing school to learn this fabulous music!
