So Mrs. Staff Sergeant over at Married to the Military is daring us bloggers who don't normally post pictures of ourselves (or even if we do we can still play) to post pictures of ourselves on our blog, and go link up with her!
I think this is a great idea! I don't normally post pictures on my blog just because I blog about random things, there aren't really pictures to go with them. Anyway, I update my little profile picture on the side occasionally, and my avatar on twitter, but that's about it!
Anyway, I was gonna cheat and just pick my favorite pictures of me off Facebook, but I just got my haircut so it really wouldn't be an accurate portrayal of me! So I was looking particularly cute today, so I decided to have some fun and take some pictures for this! Good deal, huh?!
This was me Monday night before going out and partying! lol
This was me today! Since It was the 1st day of classes I decided to actually put make up on and stuff!
I decided to have some fun with my pictures too, so these are my silly pictures! hehe
So that's me in all my glory.. err not so much but you know what I mean! Now its your turn! I see pictures of your cute kiddo's all the time, or other random things, but I want to know what you look like, too! So post some pictures of yourself on a day you actually look cute, like me! haha Then go link up with Mrs. Staff Sergeant!

8 people I am tagging
see bottom of the post for the tags! Moving on... I was also tagged by Honey Mommy & Dee to do this fun little meme:- I have a lot of nervous habits- I play with my hands all the time, like popping my knuckles or just messing with them. I play with my necklace a lot, moving it back and forth and stuff. I also do this weird thing with my mouth where I like click the top of my mouth I don't know why, I just started doing it one day and couldn't stop!
- I love pelligrino water! Love it! I used to go through like 2 huge bottles a day when I was at home; it was like my wine, I would drink it out of wine glasses and it's the 1st thing I would do is pour some pelligrino water when I got home.
- I have to sleep with the a/c on.. like it has to make noise or I can't sleep! It blocks out so much noise which is nice for living in the sorority house, but even when there isn't noise to block out, I have to have it on!
- I have a baby blanket that I still sleep with. My aunt made it for me when I was born, and I've been attached ever since! It used to have a silk border around it and it had teddy bears, but not anymore! I still love it, though!
- I'm a facebook stalker! I love seeing what people have been doing on facebook, it's so much fun to stalk them! haha
- I am really bad with money.. when I have it, I like have to spend it! It's bad.
- I am in love with my iPhone.. what did I do before I had an iPhone?
- Make better grades the rest of the semester
- My boyfriend and I will stay together a long time.
- I could just accept myself for who I am without focusing on my flaws.
- Lose weight (I know it kinda contradicts the last statement, but give me a break!)
- Last year we went skiing for spring break- while I hate skiing, it was really fun otherwise, so I'd love to go back.
- I want to go on a road trip across Texas and visit all my friends at college!
- I want to go Italy someday. My dad's side of the family is originally from there, and I've always wondered what it's like! Plus I love Italian food!
- L.A.- I just really want to shopping on Rodeo Drive!
- I want to be a mom someday, but not for a long time!
- I would love to start my own magazine, and be the editor of it. I'm not really sure what kind of magazine or anything yet, but it's a dream I've had for awhile.
- I would love to work for my dad's company as the P.R. person
- I would love to be the editor of something- some kind of magazine, newspaper, something.
- You deserve to be here
- Your parents, grandparents, etc. are waiting for you
- You lived a great life
- I'm glad you're here

Tag, I'm it!
Danielle @ Life with the Hewitt Family tagged me in this fun little meme! Thanks, Danielle! Everyone who hasn't checked out her blog yet, go do it now! *pauses, waits for everyone to come back...* ok, so here are the rules of this meme: 1.Post the rules on your blog. (check) 2.Write six random things about yourself. (check) 3.Tag six people at the end of your post. (check- scroll down!) 4. If you are tagged, JUST DO IT, and pass the tag along. (this one is up to you guys!) okay, now that we have the rules out of the way, you can learn more about me!
- I love getting dressed up to go out. I usually don't get ready for class because I would rather sleep in and there's no one to impress since most of my classes the majority of people are girls. So on the weekends when I actually do my hair and make up and put on cute clothes, I feel like 10x hotter!
- I am obsessed with tabs, like on Firefox, I always have like 1000 open at a time. Most of them are usually new blogs I want to check out. If someone gets on my computer, and they don't click "restore" (as in bring back all my previous tabs) they should prepare for death! lol Currently I have 35 tabs open, 26 of which are blogs. See, told you!
- I talk to my mom everyday, sometimes twice a day. I don't think I've been here at college 1 day without talking to her! We have a great relationship.
- I'm not really into football.. I occasionally watch Mizzou games since being at school in Missouri, but that's only if I'm out like at the frat house, and it's already on. Our school doesn't have a ft. ball team, and our H.S. team was a joke, so I just never really got into it. The other school in our town has a ft. ball team, and people go watch their games, I think I'll go sometime, but I'm not much for watching ft. ball on TV.
- My friends say I talk like the people from The Hills! I have a bad habit of saying "OMG" (like literally the letters o, m, g.) and I probably say "like" a lot. I sometimes say "brb", but I don't think I use internet speak very often! lol they also say I exaggerate my endings like the "t" sound at the end of a word... I don't think I do this, but whatever!
- I am in love with Britney Spears' new single Womanizer. I can't wait for her new album, seriously I still love her last album. I don't care what is happening in her personal life as long as she keeps making kick ass music like this!

7 Things About Me
Former City Girl tagged me in this fun meme where you seven random facts about yourself! The rules: Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs. So here goes.. why is that I have no problem talking about myself until I'm put on the spot?!! By the way, I'm totally singing Miley Cyrus' "7 Things" song right now... yeah I know.
- I love Italian food.. my dad's Italian, and he's a really good cook, so I've grown up with a lot of really good Italian food, and I love it!
- I am officially obsessed with the Jonas Brother's song "Burnin' Up".. whenever I'm in a bad mood, or just need to boost my energy I blast that song, and immediately I'm better! haha
- I love little kids- I'm not in any hurry to have my own (someday, yes. But not anytime soon!) but I love to baby sit and I love babies! They are so cute!
- I am beyond addicted to Starbucks. Like addicted doesn't do it justice! I can't live without, and I don't know what I'm going to do at school because there's not a Starbucks in the whole freaking town! That was almost a deal breaker for me, almost. Luckily, I came to my senses and didn't base my education decisions on coffee. lol!
- I love my job... well today is my last day at work so I guess I don't exactly have a job anymore, but I love it. It's an amazing place to work and everyone is so nice. I'm really going to miss it.
- I am a huge Ashlee Simpson fan. I've loved her ever since she was on 7th Heaven way back in the day, and I love her music!
- I hate mornings (thus, my Starbucks addiction). If I could sleep all day every day, I so would. But then again, who wouldn't?!?! haha

Movie Quotes- Best & worst
Ok, so I wasn't going to do participate in this, because I was so busy planning my dinner party! But I couldn't resist...
1. "I'm the king of the world!"
2. "Nobody puts Baby in the corner."
3. "Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed."
4. "I love you." "Ditto."
5. "You can be my wingman any time."
6. "I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her."
7. "Today we celebrate our Independence Day."
8. "They make take our lives, but they will never take our freedom!"
9. "You had me at hello."
10. "You're a godsend, a saviour." "No, I'm a postman."
**Update: I am changing the best list... I really should've read the answers before I posted, because I checked the answers, to see how you guys did, and I've never heard of like half the movies. So this is a new && improved list! Sorry those of you that already guessed, but I really think I'm doing you a favor! lol 1. "I'll be back."
2. "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!"
3. "Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'. (That's goddamn right.)"
4. "Hasta la vista, baby."
5. "(But you don't understand, Osgood. Uh, I'm a man.) Well, nobody's perfect!"
6. "Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye."
7. "Goodbye, Mr. Bond."
8. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die."
9. "Made it, Ma! Top of the world!"
10. "Fuh-get about it!"
Ok, so try again, and I'll just forget your 1st guesses!!
So, now for the fun part: Name the movies!!! And maybe I will give you a prize if you can get the most right! I'll have to come up with something, but I will do it! So have fun...
