30-day challenge: day thirteen

a picture of your favorite band or artist

lisa loves cake AND pie as much as i do!  <3

anyone who REALLY knows me knows that i love, love, love lisa loeb!!  she's been my favorite artist since i saw her live in 1994!  i went to a $2 concert my freshman year at nyu-- the artist was kept a secret, but for $2, who wouldn't go?  at that point, she was an unsigned artist on an independent label who also happened to have the very first ever grammy for being said unsigned indie artist, for a little song called "stay" (from the reality bites soundtrack!)  i bought her album, "the purple tape," at the concert and fell in love!  i guess lisa was my first girl crush!!  lol!

she sings a mix of folk and rock, with a very poetic feel.  and she sings from the heart, about real life stuff.  there's nothing ordinary about her music, and her voice is absolutely infectious!

since then, lisa has released over 10 albums, including 2 children's cd's, a digital ep, and a rerelease of "the purple tape," which you can finally get on cd or mp3!  she also had a reality show on E, a cooking show with dweezil zappa (her ex) on the food network, and a bunch of guest spots on various tv shows!  and she currently has a super cute line of eyeglasses.  AND i'm seeing my 3rd ever lisa loeb concert in exactly 2 weeks, and i'm super psyched!!!

30-day challenge: day twelve

a picture of something you love

i absolutely, positively LOVE going to the beach!!!  if i could retire tomorrow and move to a tropical place where i could just lay on the beach all day, every day, i so would!!!  i love to just bake in the sun, reading, listening to music, eating snacks, swimming in the ocean, digging in the sand, searching for shells or hermit crabs, walking along the boardwalk, eating ice cream, checking out the occasional horseshoe crab, snapping photos...  oh, why can't summer be here already?!!

30-day challenge: day ten

a picture of the person you do things with the most

my ideal weekend is spent on the couch in front of the tv, with plenty of snacks, maybe a little cleaning here and there, with some internet shopping and surfing to round things out...  rob, however, can't sit in the house for more than a couple hours or he goes insane!  so he's always dragging me out to... somewhere...  if we're not at a zoo, aquarium, museum, movie theatre, park, carnival, festival, restaurant, party, farm, pumpkin patch...  we're at least at the mall...  whew, makes me exhausted just thinking about it!...

30-day challenge: day nine

a picture of the person who has gotten you through the most

i've been through a lot over the years, and rob has even put me through some of it himself!  lol!  but he's definitely always been here for me, helped me out of tough spots since we began dating 11 years ago, and he's always been very supportive of me in whatever my endeavors!  not to sound cliched, but he is my rock, and i don't know what i'd do without him!  i love you, rob!
