Happy Tuesday, friends! I'm joining with Marilyn today in solidarity over this book that she bought for us to go through together in the coming months. It's called Burn After Writing, and I highly recommend it for fun and therapy! Today's page that I'm doing is about all-time favorites. I'll jump right in!
Song: My current favorite song that's being played on the radio is Worst Way by Riley Green.
Album: The one that comes to mind was from when I was a teenager, and it was the soundtrack to Dirty Dancing.
Concert: I think Darius Rucker is in the top spot for favorite concerts of all time. Before his concert this summer, I would have said Kenny Chesney or Tim McGraw.
Place: My favorite place to be is with friends; second place is my home.
Movie: The Wedding Date or Dirty Dancing
Book: I have an entire series that is my favorite, and it's the Sisterchicks series by Robin Jones Gunn.
Band: Maroon 5
Artist: Wes Anderson is my favorite artist; his Instagram is Accidentally Wes Anderson. Here's a sampling of his work.
Holiday: Christmas, but not the day...just the season in general.
City: New York City!
Teacher: I remember loving my 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Gentry. I also oved my geometry teacher when I was a sophomore, Ms. McCullough.
Word: providence (it means the protective care of God)
TV program: Gilmore Girls (or maybe Virgin River or Sweet Magnolias)
Before I wrap up today's post, I have a little blog business to attend to. First up is that Share 4 Somethings is coming up this Saturday the 27th! Currently will take place on October 1, and the prompts for October are loving, anticipating, looking forward to, wearing, and cooking. I hope you'll make plans to join me for both!
What are a couple of your all time favorite things? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog, friends. Love to all!
Jenn xoxo
This seems like a fun book to go through!
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun! I started writing inside of it last week. It's like therapy!
DeleteFun post to read! I didn´t know that you were a big Maroon 5 fan... I have learned things and I like it!! The Dirty Dancing soundtrack was so good! Have a great Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I have a lot of favorites, but they're definitely high up there. I've had a crush on Adam Levine for literal years. My boys and I always listened to their music as we drove around, so it brings up great memories. Wasn't that a great soundtrack?! I still love it all these years later!
DeleteLoved reading these and that we several that are the same answer!
ReplyDeleteI loved reading yours too! I thought that was funny.
DeleteThe Wedding Date - gonna try to watch that. And, I will try to check out Sisterchicks. I remember you talking about that series once.
ReplyDeleteYou've never seen that?! Oh my gosh, it's so good. I don't know why I love it so much, except for maybe that it's Dermot Mulroney...and I love him in everything. I hope you try those books! They're all amazing.
DeleteGG is definitely up there on my favorite show list and Dirty Dancing is high on my movie list. We had a Swedish exchange student live with us my sophomore year of HS. She was obsessed with Patrick Swayze. We watched the VHS tape (yup I’m that old) of Dirty Dancing every day after school for months.
ReplyDeleteYes! I was obsessed with him too. 🤣
DeleteOh Dirty Dancing and The Wedding Date are two of my faves too! We love so many of the same things too :)
ReplyDeleteWe're so much alike!
Deletefavorite movie: Steel Magnolias-hands down! Favorite TV show-so many, but I loved This is Us! Favorite book-again so many so I will name 3 of my all time faves: Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers, This is Us by Colleen Hoover & Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah & band: Bon Jovi
ReplyDeleteThose are all so great! I love each and every one of these that you mentioned.
DeleteSo interesting that your favorite word is "providence." That's a huge truth!
ReplyDeleteI've seen it so many times in my life!
DeleteYou and Marilyn have the sweetest friendship and it makes my heart so happy for the both of you. I love that you are going through the book together. The Dirty Dancing soundtrack is so good. Those are some of my favorite TV shows, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so grateful we have each other! It's fun for us to do and talk about.
DeleteAhh! I love the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, all the songs are my favourites. I am trying to pin my youngest down to watch the movie as she told me the other week that she's never seen it properly! I don't get how, I've watched it enough times. lol
ReplyDeleteYes! Me too!
DeleteThanks for the prompts! I always have such a hard time picking favorites... in anything! I can easily pick my favorite concert though since I've only ever been to 3; it was the 21 Pilots concert last fall. I'm hoping we like the upcoming concert just as much (and I"m sure we will) but man am I dreading the drive and the parking situation in the city.
ReplyDeleteI'm like that sometimes...I always rely on these same old ones, though. I totally get that! I hope you have a blast!
DeleteI love reading favorites. When you were in jr high and high school, did you ever fill out a page of favorites and pass them along to friends? If Darius was better than Kenny Chesney, I definitely need to check out his concert next time he's in town. Hope you're having a terrific Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI did do that, but I'd forgotten about it until just now! You will definitely need to check out one of his concerts if you ever get the chance. It was the most fun night ever!
DeleteFun! I also love Gilmore Girls (same age as Rory, love the characters) and NYC!
ReplyDeleteI’ll do some!:
Place: my bedroom, here in Brooklyn with my dogs, nestled and quiet and content
Book: The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner—I’ve never read human emotion and experience captured better.
City: NYC. I’ve had the privilege of living here for 20 years and experiencing new things all the time.
Teacher: Oh my stars, more than I can list! My teachers were my heroes, and it’s why I want to be the best teacher I can be today. I can’t name them all here. G-d bless hard-working teachers!
Album: Tori Amos, "Little Earthquakes"
TV program: I Love Lucy, Seinfeld, or Arrested Development…
I loved reading your choices; thanks for sharing!
I loved reading your answers as well! I can totally see why you would love being at home, snuggled up with your dogs, and in NYC. I have dreamed of living there, believe it or not...the city life fascinates me, and I hope to get back there again next year. Thanks for sharing these with me, I love getting to know you!
