Me Myself & I... Round 5!

It's that time of the month again...
(no, not that one)
...time for another round of Me Myself & I!

This month's questions bring on a little holiday cheer - I hope you all take a few moments to join in!

{one}
 What are your top 5 favorite movies to watch during the Holidays?
I'd have to say first and foremost... Elf, with a very close second of Love Actually, followed by all-time favs Home Alone, A Christmas Story, and Christmas Vacation.

{two}
 In the month of giving thanks, what are you most thankful for?
I think about this all the time... I'd have to say number one is my husband, Josh - he's seriously the definition of the perfect partner - he works hard, tells me I'm beautiful, helps me clean, tolerates my tantrums - he loves me more than anything, and not just says it, but shows it on a daily basis. Also - my family and my dogs aka "children" - I know a day will come when we won't all be living on this Earth together, and I treasure these moments we have while we still can have them.  Lately, I'm extremely thankful for our job situation while so many others are struggling out there - coming from that stressful paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle, I'm so grateful to finally have the comfort of stability in our bank account.

But most of all I'm thankful for today, this moment, for health, love, music, for delicious food and coffee, and for the beauty of the world. I'm thankful for my country and my freedom of speech I have to share what I think here on the blog. And I'm thankful for you - for reading and supporting me on my way towards a dream I'm so thankful I haven't lost sight of.

If there was a quote or verse to describe your life, what would it be?

{four}
Who in the family are you most like?
Very interesting question... I have no idea! We are all very different in our own ways. My Dad is the quirky dude who loves politics, dry humor, and does a great Robert DeNiro impression. My Mom is the free spirit who brings life to the party, loves dirty jokes, and has quite the contagious laugh. My oldest sister is a Capricorn - practical and disciplined but has a wild side that's fun to kick back with. My youngest sister keeps things interesting - strong willed, ambitious, and always on trend. Me? I like to think I'm a good mixture of this crazy bunch... and I believe that's a good thing!


{five}
What is your favorite drink to order at Starbucks?
I usually order one of two things - an Iced Chai with a double shot of espresso or a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Lately, though, I'm a little hooked on the Caramel Brulée Latte. Non-skinny, please... thanks.

  3. Love your movie choices!
    Sounds like you have a lot to be thankful for :D I, too, am so thankful for my job - even though I don't get the best hours, it is still a paycheck. The unemployment rate is so ridiculous!
    You have such a cute family!

  6. My favorite movie during the holidays is Elf too! And I love your nail polish in the Starbucks photo. That's my go-to combo when I'm feeling girlie with a little edge :)

    Apparently I need to get up and up on my movies... I'm seeing "Love Actually" on a lot of these posts so maybe I should add that to my movie list to watch... :)

  16. Love Actually is a great movie! So is the pic of the nails with the Starbs cup, mine look almost identical right now hahaha. Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier, I guess you can say I took a bit of a hiatus and am ready to roll now.

    See you around this little blog world, looking forward to more of your posts.
