Day 6: A picture of the person you would love to trade places with just for a day

I'd say thats easy, Yvonne Strahovski

aka Sarah Walker on Chuck.

Of course I would only want to do it for a day that they were filming Chuck and perhaps where there may be a kissing scene or six with Zac Levi. After that I would be fine;-)

Fill in the Blank Friday

1. Black Friday is straight up ridiculous!

2. Christmas shopping this year will include not a whole lot, since I have spent most of my "Christmas money" helping my mom out. So just the ticket present for Shayna.

3. Holiday shopping makes me anxious, uptight and grumpy. I generally don't try going into any mall or store in December. Except now that I work in one I have no choice. But I also will do my shopping at my store while I work:-)

4. This year my Christmas list will include - I don't really ever make a Christmas list, I don't care what I get, I don't expect anything from anyone. I love giving gifts, hate recieving them.

5. Bargain hunter, or full price shopper? Bargain hunter by far. I have a hard time justifying buying anything at full price. Maybe it's the Mennonite in me, or the fact that I had to claim bankrupcy at a young age. At any rate, I have become a severe bargain hunter.

6. The best and worst things about shopping is seeing all the wonderful stuff  available to buy, and the worst is seeing all the wonderful stuff I can't afford to buy.

7. Online shopper or in-person shopper? I would buy everything online if my credit card let me, except clothes, those I like to see in person. Unless the clothes are for someone other then me:-)

Day 5: A Picture of your favorite memory

  Gosh, this is a hard one. And needing to search for a picture of it is even harder. Especially when half my stuff is in Steinbach and the rest is here with me in Otterburne. So, since I can't find the picture I am looking for, I will settle with this memory, one of the top 3. And that is spending time with my dad in the last days/weeks of his life. One particular day it was just me and him hanging out together at home. We were watching music videos on CMT (one of our favorite past times). This song called "Holes in the floor of Heaven" by Steve Wariner came on, and I just started to cry. My dad sat there holding and rubbing my hand to comfort me. It was so special. For Fathers Day this year, the Christian author Karen Kingsbury had a contest where you could write in 200 words about your best "Daddy Day" so I wrote her the story of that day with my dad, and I won out over 100 entries. I got her childrens book "Let's have a Daddy Day". So for now, the picture I have is this one ...

Later when I find a better one of my Dad and me I will insert it here.

Day 4: A Picture of your Night

Well, unfortunately did not have a camera with me last night. But after my grandmothers funeral, a bunch of my cousins met at my cousin Curt's place. It was great catching up and hanging out. I also went home to my place after spending almost 3 weeks at my moms. Since it was Grandma's funeral yesturday, I will put the picture of a poem that my mom wrote which was used on her obituary card.

Day 3: Cast of my Favorite TV show

That would be Chuck!!! The best show on television right now. Watch it every monday night at 7 or at 10 on NBC. If you haven't seen it, I highly recomend it, I have the first 2 seasons if you wanna borrow them:-) And if you wanna get me something for Christmas I still need the 3rd season:-) Watch it, you will find what you've been missing in your life till now. LOL

Day 2: A Picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest

My Mom:-) She's my best friend and my mom. This picture was taken a few years ago when we were visiting my brother in Alberta

30 Day Challenge

My friend Joy posted this 30 day challenge on facebook and so I thought I would try it out here on my blog. Basically each day I will post a picture of myself associated to the corresponding purpose. Like for instance Day 1 is a picture of me and write 15 facts about myself, Day 2 is a pic of me with the person I have been closest to the longest...so on and so forth. If your interested in doing this with me, message me and I will send you the list, it should be interesting. So here goes...
