Photo blog

So, I have finally decided that I will start my photo blog tomorrow. I am piggy backing on a project/idea that a few friends of mine have been doing - but I decided to start it after my birthday rather than start on the new year.  So, starting tomorrow I am going to to take a pictures daily and post them every Sunday. I haven't thought of a catchy name for my little project so if anyone has any fun ideas - let me know. And if you want to join in the photo fun, please do! This should be a fun challenge for the next year. I'm hoping it will help me improve my photo skills and have some fun while I'm at it. I am going to be posting the photos on my photo blog site: http://ashotintime.blogspot.com/ .

Good Old Tv...

A friend of mine posted her 10 favorite tv shows (old and new) and I thought I'd play along this time... TV for me is how I relax after dealing with all those crazy kids all day.. and it is great background noise for grading papers! So, in no particular order...This is a lot harder than I thought it would be! So, here are my 10 favorite TV shows...

All throughout jr. high and high school, like every other girl in this country, I was hooked on none other than....  Yup, you got it... Beverly Hills 90210.

When I was in college it was.... Dawson's Creek - we would all gather in one dorm room, about 20 of us - including guys- to watch it every week. And if we couldn't fit in one dorm room, we would spread out into several and yell across the halls what we thought about what was going on... good times!

And I gotta add a little bit of action into all this drama.... The A-Team totally rocked!

I love crime dramas Law & Order SVU HAS TO BE my favorite of all time. I have seen every episode - at least once... if there is an SVU marathon on TV, and I'm home, it is probably on my TV. Plus, Stabbler is just hot! :)

Since day one I have been HUGE fan of the McDreamy, McSteamy clan on Grey's Anatomy. I again, have seen every episode and actually own most of the seasons... nerd I know, but I love it. It kinda reminds me of when I worked in the OR... of course, I might have stayed in the OR if I worked with guys like McDreamy!

Working random shifts at the hospital and having Netflix available on my laptop has not helped, but rather encouraged my TV viewing.. During one of my summer shifts a few years ago I discovered what has to be the funniest dark comedy I have ever seen. Weeds. I freaking LOVE that show! And I can't wait for the next season to start!

This summer with all the new summer series coming on, I found 2 new shows that I really liked! Covert Affairs - another crime CIA drama, and Rizzoli and Isles - a police crime drama. I really liked Covert Affairs because of the crazy situations she was always getting herself into and getting out of. I couldn't imagine a life like that! Rizzoli and Isles is just funny because you have the extremely dry and sarcastic cop who is best friends with the medical examiner who is insanely intelligent and just plain kooky sometimes- with almost no sense of humor. The two together are just fun to watch!



I also discovered 24 on Netflix. I didn't think I would like it and several people told me I should watch it - and I always told them no. Then I watched the first episode. I was hooked. I saw each and every season and loved it.

Another show that everyone told me to watch but took me forever to actually try was Dexter. I watched the first episode and thought it was so odd - I wasn't sure I'd watch it again. But, I decided to give it another try and watched the second episode. Still thought it was weird - but I was hooked and couldn't stop watching. Again, a dark murder, crime drama. If you haven't guessed yet I like crime dramas! lol!!!

Now it is your turn! What are your favorite TV shows??
