It's over, thank God!
Day 30 - A photo of myself and 3 good things that have happened in the past 30 days.
You don't get the photo, sorry. It's almost midnight, I've had a bad day, and I look like crap. Deal with it.
3 good things?
1. I've had two job interviews.
2. I get 15 free downloads every quarter from Napster thanks to my mom's Best Buy Reward Zone points - yay new music!
3. TCU has won their first two games!
TH END, finally!!!

Day Twenty-Seven, Eight, and Nine
I told you I'm not motivated to finish this at all, but luckily tomorrow will be the last day and then I won't have to feel guilty any more...
Day 27 - A photo of me from last year and how I've changed...
This is exactly a year (and a few days) old. Most obviously how I've changed: I'm 22, not 21; I graduated from college; I'm unemployed; I no longer live with these two fabulous ladies because I live at home with my mom due to the unemployed-ness. I also think my temper has changed. I get frustrated over some of the most random things and way more easily than ever.
Day 28 - My favorite movie.
This is a toughy because I love movies. I'm obsessed. At any given time, there are at least 3 movies I'd love to see in theaters. Then I have to buy the ones I like when they come out on DVD. I am obsessed. I guess currently a few of my favorites include, but are definitely not limited to:
Remember Me
A Christmas Story
Anchorman
Day 29 - Something I could never get tired of doing...
Good question... I'm exhausting the list of my favorite things in my head and I can imagine myself getting tired of most, if not all of them. I guess what I'd get LESS tired of would be being creative. I love the creative process and being hands on while creating whatever it is I was thinking of.
ONE MORE DAY!!! I'm so glad. This 20 day blog challenge didn't sound too awful at the beginning but it's just bad now.

Day Twenty-Six
A picture of somewhere you've been to... recently? In my life? What?
I guess I'll do recently... Cowboy's Stadium... AKA: The Death Star, Jerry's World or Gary's World last weekend!
Currently, I'm listening to the game on KTCU. I had GameTracker up, but it gets so delayed... Middle of the 2nd qtr, TCU 21, Tennessee Tech 7. And it's... 3rd DOWN! Go Frogs!
Also, God bless America!

Day 23-25... I'm a slacker...
I'm so close to the end of this, but I'm just so NOT motivated to do it...
Day 23 - 15 fact about me
1. I want to be part of a Flash Mob. Real Bad. 2. I'm a huge movie person. I'll see almost any movie once, except scary ones. The really good ones I'll see at least twice. 3. I'm tired of this blog challenge. 4. I get paranoid about the weirdest things sometimes. 5. I change my mind about which pet (Russian Blue kitten or tri-color Corgi puppy) I want daily, if not more than that. 6. Even though I love my XM preview in my car, I still get really annoyed with it. 7. I'd love to relive the years 2005-2009. They were awesome and awful all at once. 8. I'm 22 years old and I still LOVE Disney. 9. TCU Stadium has the best hot dogs ever. And I hate hot dogs. 10. I love McDonald's breakfast! 11. I really like milk. 12. I want to take a cheesy roadtrip around Texas where I stop at random landmarks and other historical places. 13. I hate my fingernails to but cut down to the quick. I need a little bit of white. 14. I wish I had tried out for Showgirls when I decided to go to TCU. OR that I just hadn't stopped dancing when I got to college. 15. I like to blast the radio and sing really loud when I'm in the car alone.
Day 24 - A photo of something that means a lot to me...
I've never taken a picture of it and I'm lazy so you don't get one:My grandmother's wedding ring that she turned into a pinky ring after my grandfather died.
Day 25 - What's in my purse?
wallet, checkbook, pens, camera, cell phone (when I'm not home), keys, kleenex, random tickets from movies and other entertainment, hand sanitizer... more but I can't think of it.
less than a week of this left - thank God.

Day Twenty-two
Day 22 - A letter to someone who hurt me recently.
That's a little personal. I don't think I'd have the guts to do that if I had a letter written... So instead I'll change it to a update on my life.
I've been on the hunt for jobs for over a month now. I've had one interview and I have another tomorrow. Tomorrow's interview is for an unpaid internship, but the place looks amazing and they loooove TCU grads, so it sounds really promising - and if not, then interview practice always helps. The first interview was in Dallas for a technology ad agency. I don't think it went badly, but it probably could have gone a ton better. I didn't get asked back for the second round, but by the time I had heard back from them I had talked myself out of wanting it. I love visiting Dallas, but I can't see myself living there. Ever. It's just too claustrophobic for me. After that interview, I drove over to SMU and had lunch with Molly! It was great to see her and catch up, hopefully it will happen much more often once I make I make it back up to the DFW. That weekend, I ventured back up to the DFW for a big-little bonding night in Arlington with Courtney and then FW for Maggie and Allison's birthday celebration. The next big thing that happened was the TCU game at Cowboys Stadium this weekend. Can we say "AH-MAZE-ING!"? Because that barely begins to describe the stadium, the game, and the turn out. Our boys looked like BAMFs in their new Nike uniforms, but I must say I like last year's just a tad better. In case you were in a hole or something this weekend, TCU won. Oregon St. kicked a safety for us and sealed the deal. That morning I went to Johnson's wedding in Plano. He and Allie are adorable! They both looked so happy all day. I left the reception early though to go to the game, so I missed out on some of the fun stuff. But the ceremony was really nice - especially when Allie's pastor pulled out her stuffed animals.
Gary is my homeboy.
That's pretty much it for now. As I encounter more big girl adventures I'll keep you updated.

Day Twenty-One
Day 21- A photo of something that makes me happy
old pictures and memories make me happy :)

Day Eighteen - Twenty? FAIL.
You'll have to forgive me! College Football started this weekend and I had to travel to the glorious Cowboys Stadium in Arlington to watch my amazing TCU Horned Frogs take on (and kill) the Oregon St. Beavers. Not only that, one of my dearest friends got married that morning in Plano as well! Needless to say, it's been a slightly crazy Labor Day Weekend. So here comes a big post of all the days I've missed!
Day 18 - Something I crave a lot.
I'm editing this to something I crave a lot lately.
I've been ALL about big soft pretzels from the mall kiosk lately. They're amazing. My mom tried to find some at the grocery store. Nasty. Nothing like the big soft ones at the mall.
Day 19 - Another picture of myself
Day 20 - The meaning behind my blog name
When I named my blog "Welcome to GrownUpLand'" I imagined a city limits sign on the side of the road with this greeting. Maybe a population count of 1. However, I am not the most artsy person when it comes to Photoshop and InDesign despite what I like to think - I'm totes the creative mind behind stuff, not always the creator. So I couldn't quite bring that to life, but I loved the name idea, so I stuck with it.

Day Fourteen
Day 14 - A TV show I'm currently obsessed with
If this had been two, almost three, weeks ago, this would easily be answered with So You Think You Can Dance. However, season 7 has ended and I'm in TV show limbo waiting for the fall season to start. When fall starts though, I'll be obsessed with a number of shows: Glee, Greek, The Big Bang Theory, The Office, and then of course Keeping Up with the Kardashians started last Sunday, and I can't pass up E! Reality shows... unless it's the Spin Crowd - I can't stand Jonathan Cheban.
New shows I'm looking forward to are: My Generation, Outsourced, and $#!* My Dad Says.
Now to wait for September to get here... Late September that is.

Day 9 - A photo of what I last purchased...
Well, yesterday was a frustrating day, but I won't get into that! But it ended with a nice, relaxing pedi with my bestie, Kendall. So just imagine this super cute purple (OPI's Funky Dunky from the Shrek Collection) on my toes! Just in time for FOOTBALL SEASON (which is 10 days away)!

Day Eight
Day 8 - Song lyrics to match my mood.
My mood = trying not to fall asleep at 8:45 pm on a Tuesday night. So I chose "Sleep" by the Dandy Warhols...
Well I could sleep forever
but it's of her I dream
if I could sleep forever
I could forget about everything
if I could sleep forever
if I could sleep forever
if I could sleep forever
Speaking of sleeping... I'm getting a new mattress on Thursday! I'm hoping this will help my back not be so painful as it has been the past week or so. And since I'm getting a new bed, it's only fitting I get new bedding! I like it very much! Except maybe the Peace Love Shoes pillow... It's made by Steve Madden, and I do love his shoes though, haha.

Day Seven
Day 7 - My Dream Wedding
I've watched a LOT of wedding shows this summer. I'm going to two weddings in the next month. It's safe to say, although I'm lacking a few key components, I have wedding fever. I want so badly to go try on dresses after watching Say Yes to the Dress (NYC and Atlanta - LOVE Atlanta)! I love love loved my Rose Festival Queen's Ball gown, but I'm not sure if I'd want to wear it to get married in. I'd love something similar for sure though! I've definitely spent some time looking though and the silhouette of my ball gown is definitely one of my faves - fitted up top and full skirt.
The venue is a whole different story. I have no clue where I'd like to get married. The Episcopal Church in Tyler is gorgeous and it's where I was baptized. I've been to weddings there before but it's kind of small. So I just don't know...
Honeymoon is a done deal for me. I want to go back to Grand Cayman SOOOO bad! It's absolutely beautiful there!

Day Six
Day Six - a Photo of an Animal I'd Love to Keep as a Pet
Well, as I face the future, I've decided I'll need a pet in my big girl apartment. However, I change my mind DAILY on whether I want a kitten or a puppy. So, here are my two wants for pets...
Russian Blue Kitten
I'd love to get a baby Russian Blue female. We have a Russian Blue mix over at my dad's and she's SO sweet and I've recently become somewhat obsessed with her, so I'd love to have one of my own. Of course I'd have to name her something awesomely Russian like Svetlana or Nastia!
OR!!!!!!
Welsh Corgi Puppy
I've recently fallen in love with these little dogs! They're hilarious and adorable all at the same time. After loving that Lorelai names her dog Paul Lanka on Gilmore Girls, I'd have to name my Corgi after a famous short person, like Napoleon Bonaparte. I'm pretty attached to this idea.
