The Kennedys

I have had the mini series, The Kennedys, on my Netflix Queue, well since it made it to the Instant Streaming. It's a short eight episode series and well it's amazing!

I am in fact a history dork, and I am also in fact obsessed with The Kennedy family aka American Royalty. Yes it's true I consider the Kennedy family America's version of the royal family. Both are sad, tragic, fashion icons and incredibly interesting. If you have the time you should definitely check it out. Even I, who literally thought I knew everything about the Kennedy family learned things I've never known.

For instance: The youngest sister had a lobotomy at 23, the dad was a controlling nutcase, JFK my or may not have been the last straw that drove Marilyn Monroe over the edge, and somehow out of all of this Bobby Kennedy was normal. I still don't know how but he was. Anyway check it out!

Eleven Things You Didn't Know...

My friend Lauren, creator of My Right, Your Left, (if you're a fashionista or lover of fun check it out!) tagged me in a post and never wanting to disappoint I thought I would keep this fun little diddy going... 


1. Post these rules.
2. Post a photo of yourself and 11 random things.
3. Answer the questions set for you in the original post.
4. Create 11 new questions and tag people to answer them.
5. Go to their blog/twitter and tell them you've tagged them. 

And here we go...


11 Random Things About Me...

1. I collect tea pots

2. I am obsessed with Audrey Hepburn

3. I literally judge a book by its cover, if a book isn't suggested to me I walk around a library or store until I see a cover that interests me

4. I wish I had created Pinterest and want to meet the actual creators

5. I love birthdays, and not just mine but all birthdays. I find it incredibly awesome that everyone gets at least one day all about them. 

6. My dream job is to manage and tour with a band AKA live out the movie Almost Famous. I'm not even close to kidding. 

7. I will forever and always be looking for a million dollar idea

8. I used to run cross country

9. I used to wish (still secretly do) that I could get married in Disney World one day

10. I watch tons of crime television shows, Criminal Minds, NCIS, Bones etc. and never get sick of them

11. My first drink as a legal 21 year old was a Cosmopolitan, in honor of my home girls from Sex and the City.


And here are the questions that Miss Lauren has posed to me...

1. What's the craziest dream you had?
I have to admit, I usually don't remember my dreams. I vaguely remember one that involved a murder spree but that was after watching The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo so I can't be held accountable for that.

2. What did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a professional dancer. I still think that is one of my biggest regrets not seriously pursuing dance when I was younger. I love the grace and strength that dancers have, I think it is such an under-valued talent that I'm truly envious of. 

3. If you were any animal, which would you be?
A panda. They are cute and cuddly and no one judges them for just hanging out and really doing nothing other then sleeping and eating all day long. 

4. What's your favorite TV show?
It's so incredibly hard to pick just one, but if I must I'm going to have to go with Mad Men. I'm completely invested in the characters, but it's more then that. The style, the time period, the men... It's addicting and premiering soon :)

5. What is your favorite article of clothing you own?
So this is pretty lame because I really never where it out of the house unless it's under a sweatshirt or to the movies, but, I have a D.A.R.E. t-shirt, that isn't even mine. Some how I got a hold of this during college maybe? Who knows, but its so worn in and comfy cozy amazing, that I try to pass it off as vintage but really who am I kidding?

6. Where is your favorite place in the world?
The beach, but not the summer time everyone is there beach. Instead I love the late at night or early in the morning, or in the middle of winter beach that is amazingly calm and quiet. It is the one place where I feel like I can hear myself think. 

7. If you could have any superpower, which would you want?
Invisibility. That way when I just want to get away from it all or take a break I can without spending money on a plane ticket!

8. What is your favorite Disney movie?
Sleeping Beauty without question. It is completely under-rated. The three fairies, princess Aurora, Malificent all some of the best characters Disney has ever created. 

9. What's your favorite holiday?
The 4th of July. It combines summer, BBQ food, fireworks, fun, friends and beer. How is this not everyone's favorite holiday again?

10. Best word to describe your personality:
Independent

11. If you were stranded on a desert island, what 3 things would you want with you?
My iPod, which would magically never die, The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway and a picture of me and my family. 

And now here are my 11 questions:

1. What is the one thing you could not live without?
2. If you had to listen to one song for the rest of your life what would it be?
3. Coffee or Tea?
4. What is your favorite book?
5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
6. What is your favorite dessert?
7. What is your ultimate Karaoke song?
8. If you had to choose another profession, other than your current one, what would you do?
9. What is the best decision you have ever made?
10. What is your fondest memory?
11. What's your favorite movie?

I'm tagging miss Emily... though this would be cool for your blog!

Do You Believe in Magic?

"Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Roald Dahl. 

So I'm not saying I believe in like Houdini magic, but I definitely believe in magic, and you should too! Because really how great can life be without a little magic?
