Something You've Learned

...is that I continue to learn something new every day.

30 Day Challenge - Day 23

Favorite Movie

Not sure why, but this is kind of a repeat question; Day 7 was "favorite movies." I am trying to think of a movie I haven't mentioned yet because it's hard for me to pick just ONE. I will pick:

because I watch this movie ALL the time when I'm trying to fall asleep. Now, it is a little "racy" and if you can't stand to watch movies with a lot of cursing, then you probably won't like it, BUT - I think the moral of the story is something we can all relate to - FAILED RELATIONSHIPS. I feel like a lot of romantic comedies are centered around a woman who loves someone who doesn't love her back or doesn't realize they do...and this movie is written by a MAN, Jason Segel, who bases it off of a real life situation that he himself had. I respect for sharing his life with us, and even though it's a guy, I can definitely relate to feeling miserable when you've broken up with someone. ;-)

What's In Your Purse?




This is my purse. I know, a pretty boring picture of it. (I'm at work, and that's where I have to keep it. Blah.) It's a pretty big purse, not really the kind I like to keep, but for now, it's what I have; I can fit A LOT of stuff in it, though, that's for sure.

On the outside pocket, I keep hair ties & clips, chapstick, my cell phone, and my alarm clicker (to turn the alarm off from outside the house.) On the inside small pocket, I keep oil blotters, probably some more hair stuff, and a little "fairy kit" that I bought at the Renaissance Festival for good luck. haha In the big main area is where everything else is - my wallet/clutch, coupon & checkbook holder, makeup bag (usually just has mascara, an eyeshadow trio, and some tweezers), keys, pill bottle, iPod case, gum, a little blank spiral notebook (for note taking at church), and then anything else I need to take home from work, papers or receipts, or anything I've bought during the day.

I was never one for carrying a purse, but now I find myself carrying it ALL the time, even though I hardly ever go into it. haha

30 Day Challenge - Day 21

Favorite Picture of Yourself ALL TIME Why?

Obviously this is not a current picture, but it's my favorite because (1) I love Christmas and (2) I'm smiling SO big! I think it really captures my spirit within. All of my favorites of me now are a "naturally" big smile because I think that's something I like about myself - that I'm not afraid to be happy and big! haha

30 Day Challenge - Day 20

Nicknames

Carebear. I had an old co-worker who used to call me that. Besides that, nothing else. "Caryn" really isn't easy to make nicknames with. haha

30 Day Challenge - Day 19

Something You Miss

I miss the way things were when I was a kid. I know I'm not very old (28 to be exact), but even now, I can see how things have changed. When I was in high school, I didn't have many responsibilities, save for my part-time job. I got to do things with friends every weekend. I got to go out and do things. I got to take vacations. I had a ton of friends, and we all spent holidays together, saw movies together, just experienced life together. Now, we are either married, tied down by work, have separate family obligations, or just don't feel like going out. The camraderie we once had is gone. And I see the young 20-somethings that I work with and can still see it in them and their groups. But at 28, I feel way too grown up. I do have friends, but our "hang outs" are few and far between now. I have to work at not being a recluse. haha
