Day 13 - A picture of your favorite band or artist

Brad Paisley

Trace Adkins

It's hard for me to pick just one artist or band because I like so many different people for different reasons and songs that they sing. These are two of my current favorite and two that I have seen in concert.

Day 12 - A picture of something you love

Books! Books! Books!

This is just one of my bookcases. This one is double stacked with paperbacks (2 rows). I buy them at the library when they have book sales. My favorite sale is when they give you a plastic grocery sack and say you can fill it for $5. You would be amazed how many books I can fit in one of those sacks! I also have a bookcase with all my cookbooks and another with craft books and magazines.

I'm not a fictional book collector because as soon as I read a book I pass it on. I have only kept a select few of my favorite books. A lot of the books on this shelf are parts of series that I'm collecting so I can read the whole series at once. Others are books I've picked up and thought I would like--I just haven't gotten around to reading them yet. Some of my favorite authors are Sue Grafton, Janet Evanovich, Debbie Macomber, Susan Wiggs, and Sheryl Woods.

Day 11 - A picture of something you hate

I thought quite a bit about this one. Yes, there are things I hate more than needles--like child abuse--but do you really want to see a picture of that? I decided to go with needles because it is one of the things that just gets to me. I can't watch when I (or anyone else) gets a shot. I didn't have blood drawn out of my arm until I was pregnant with Kinsey (30 years old)! I got a shot when I had the flu about 5 years ago and almost passed out at the doctors office. It's just one of those weird things that I hate.....

Day 10 - A picture of someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future

Neal and I on our wedding day October 7, 2000

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

This is my sister Melissa. She is the person I can go to and talk about anything. She's been with me through thick and thin! Love ya Melissa!
