Favorite Things....Hottie Edition

My Favorite Things…in Top Ten List Form

First I'm going to tell you my top 10 Hotties, though they really are just the 10, not in a specific order really.

        

Top Ten Hottie McHotterson's

     1.  Joe Manganiello—TOP hottie for me.  The body, the dark wavy hair, the hints of grey in his beard. Sexy, Sexy, Sexy!! If you don't know who is he…well what planet are you living on?? He's Alcide on True Blood and he's Big Dick Richie in Magic Mike & Magic Mike 2.

     2.  Jensen Ackles—Hottie McHoterson extraordinaire!!  Best known as swoon-worthy Dean Winchester on Supernatural.  Sexy, Sweet, Funny, Sarcastic, Brooding, Deep throaty voice that makes me…Ok…you get the point. 

     3.  Stephen Amell –Oliver Queen, the Arrow. He's not only incredibly sexy, but he also runs his Facebook page for fans and is an amazing kind person that makes him even hotter!

     4.   Robert Pattinson—No not as a sparkly vampire necessarily (Though I am Team Edward), but I could run my fingers through his hair ALL day long while he read the dictionary to me in that sexy accent.

      5.  Channing Tatum—Really? Is an explanation needed? If so, one word…Abs.  Or two words—Magic Mike

      6.   Ian Somerhalder—Damon Salvatore. Those beautiful eyes, that sexy smirk. That bad vampire persona. Yes Please!

      7.   Liam Hemsworth—Again, accent! LOVE a sexy accent! One reason I love him so much I think, is that he is what I picture as my Mitchell from my Parker Harris Series.

      8.   Ashton Collins—It's true, I picked one of my characters! Ashton is sweet, sexy, strong, romantic, and completely loyal. I found myself swooning over him many times while writing. 

       9.  Ron Weasley—Yep you heard me!!  I love me a ginger! Plus my husband looks like he could be Ron Weasley all grown up!  And again…yep you guessed it…accent.

      10.    Johnny Depp—A man who can look sexy even when he has razor sharp scissors for hands!

Things I loved/miss from Childhood

1.  Jem and the Holograms (They're making a live action movie soon and I am super excited about it!)

2.  My Daisy Duke Big Wheel

3.  Riding bikes with my little sisters. (We used to make up fake drivers license and one of us would play the cop who would pull people over)

4. Saturday cartoons with my Mom (our favorite was the Smurfs)

5.  Being unafraid. (I have so many fears as an adult that I'd love to be that mostly fearless child that I was)

6. Roller skating. (I tried as an adult and it is NOT like riding a bike. In fact, I had to have a cervical fusion after I ruptured a disc in my neck trying to skate.)

7.  Lack of responsibility. (When you're a kid you want nothing more than to grow up and be on your own. Then when you get to be on your own the bills come in and you're wishing for home again!)

8.   Playing parachute in gym class. (That and the days we played hockey were my favorite!)

9. Playgrounds. (I can still play on playgrounds but it's not as much fun when you get on the slide and your feet are almost at the bottom already. Plus the fear sets in a bit on the swings and I don't go nearly as high as I can remember as a child)

10. The magic of things. (Not knowing how things work. Seeing a movie and wondering how they did that instead of complimenting the film for it's great visual effects)

Meet an Author Monday...Introducing ME!!!

For Meet an Author Monday, I have decided that for today I will reintroduce myself to everyone since I really haven't posted anything about myself since last October.  A million things have changed since than.  Not a whole lot of good things, but I'm coping!!!

 

The Femur Bone of a YOUNG T-Rex....I'm only a little more than a head taller than it's thigh bone....OH MY!!!

 

 

So let's get started.....My name is Leah and I am 25 years old.  I am a college graduate with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and hold a PA certification to teach grades K-6.  I just recently left my Pre-K teaching position after two years at a local daycare for a ton of reasons, but my main reason was to find a teaching position in a school district.  I was really nervous to get back out into the subbing world, but also excited as well.  So far, everything is going pretty great and I'm really enjoying being with a variety of students at different age levels.  Now that I have a foot in the door, I'm hoping that new opportunities will present themselves to me!!

 

 

 

 

 

I am a self proclaimed Book Nerd and proud of it.  If you told me a year a ago that I would be a reading fanatic, I would have laughed in your face and walked away.  I use to hate reading because I would stumble over the simplest words and I really just didn't have the attention span to complete a book.  When I was in college, right before Twilight came out in theaters, I stared to read it to see what the hype was all about.  Needless to say, I enjoyed the series, but it took me four years to complete the series because I just couldn't and wouldn't find the time to sit and read.  After I finished the series, I never thought I would find another book that would ever get my attention.  But all that changed last July (2012) when a co-worker and really good friend of mine (Fellow Book Nerd) told me about The Fallen Star series by Jessica Sorensen (Yes, I adore Jessica and I talk about her a lot, get use to it, lol)  She convinced me to download The Fallen Star to the kindle app on my phone and since it was free, I figured why not, I have nothing to lose.  So I started reading it right away and I never was able to put it down.  I finished the book in about a week and I was shocked that I could actually do it.  I went out and bought my kindle to make sure I had somewhere to house the rest of this amazing series.  All 4 of the books were completed in a month and I felt extremely accomplished!!!  I knew I had found my new hobby, which has now become a part of my life!!!  I'm still nowhere near where most avid readers are with their completing 20 books a month, but I'm reading a lot more than I ever thought I could.  I have also met some amazing authors and bloggers that I'm happy to now call my friends!!

 

 

 

 

 

So besides reading, I love music.  I listen to just about anything.  It usually depends on my mood as to what I am listening to at the moment.  If anyone ever looked at my iTunes account, they would never be able to pin point a specific genre of music that I like over another.  I have eclectic taste and it keeps things interesting.  I also love to scrapbook.  I take tons of pictures and I like to document everything.  I love looking back over things and taking a walk down memory lane.  I also love movies.  I have a large DVD collection and now I have Netflix, so I'm always watching something new.  Finally, I love to shop.  I have to go shopping at least once a week.  I don't always have to buy something, but I just love walking around stores and looking at anything!!

 

 

 

 

I have a kitten named Ember (named after Jessica Sorensen's book, Ember)  She is a jet black kitty and I just adore her.  She will be turning 1 on the 16th and I can't imagine my life without her!!  She keeps me smiling and moving on when I feel like I can't anymore!!

 

I think that's pretty much all of me, lol and I appreciate if you have read this far!! 

 

 

Now, I'm going to do a Lighting Round of random questions:

 

1. Favorite color: Blue

2. Favorite food: Hot Wings

3. Favorite movie: The Sandlot

4. Favorite Sports Teams:  Yankees and Steelers

5. Favorite TV Show: Orange is the New Black
