Favorite Fridays

Today’s Favorite Friday topic is favorite healthy snack. I don’t know about yall, but I looooove chocolate! My favorite snack is any of the Weight Watchers chocolate ice cream things!

Really, really good stuff, and they don’t taste like healthy snacks at all! :)

Favorite Friday!

This week’s Favorite Friday is favorite celebrity couple that didn’t make it. My choice this week is…

Jake and Vienna

jake and vienna

JUST KIDDING!

Sorry, just couldn’t help myself! :)

My favorite celebrity couple that is no more is Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey.

jessica and nick

They seemed like a match made in teenybopper heaven! He was the boy band hottie and she was the innocent little girl with the big voice.

jessica and nick2

I loved their duet on her first CD and always wished they would do more songs together. Their voices sounded perfect together.

jessica and nick3

After dating for a long time, they got married and their reality show Newlyweds was created. I watched it faithfully!

I remember on Thanksgiving Day 2005, my mom woke me up saying “You have to see something.” She led me to the computer where I saw the headline that they had split up. Completely RUINED my Thanksgiving! So…I called Jessica and ruined hers as well.

Everyone said that the show is what ruined their marriage. I do think that the show probably contributed, but I think a huge part of what caused their split was

Joe-Simpson
THIS!

He was entirely too involved in their careers and marriage from the very beginning. Some of the comments he made about Jessica were really weird. Not so sure about this guy…

Creepy, huh?

Favorite Friday-Movie Trilogy

Today’s Favorite Friday topic is Favorite Movie Trilogy! You’re probably going to laugh at me, but my favorite one is the Rush Hour trilogy!

I know it sounds crazy, but Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker together are sooooooo funny!

Rush Hour 2 has the best quotes! I won’t quote them all for you, but it’s good stuff!

Favorite Friday-Favorite Animated Movie

Today’s Favorite Fridays topic is favorite animated movie, and, of course, I picked….

CINDERELLA!

Oh, how I love this movie! The story is just amazing. Poor girl being force to work as a servant in her own home…

Her best friends were two mice. If real life mice were like this, I think they would be ok! :)

She worked so hard. I always wished I could balance a tray on my head like her!

Then, after meeting her fairy godmother…

She was given a makeover for the ball…

Where she met her Prince Charming!

They talked and danced until midnight, when she had to leave before the spell ended. She left her glass slipper behind. The prince searched the whole kingdom until…

They found the perfect girl who owned the shoe!

A perfect fit!

I love a good fairytale, and Cinderella is the best! Check out Jen’s blog for more movies, and to link up to play along!

Favorite Fridays-Favorite Reality TV Competition Show

Today’s topic on Favorite Fridays is Favorite Reality TV Competition Show! I was so excited when I saw this topic! I watch a lot reality tv, but this was a very easy choice for me!

AMERICAN IDOL!!

I have watched American Idol since Kelly Clarkson was picked as the very first Idol. Season 1 remains my favorite season.

I cast my very first Idol votes during the finale, so I do take a little bit of credit for her win! :)

But Kelly wasn’t the only one I loved…


Justin Guarini

I had such a huge crush on him that I almost felt bad for voting for Kelly instead! Such a cutie!

A few more of my favorites…


Christina Christian, RJ Helton, & Tamyra Gray

Season 2


Carmen Rasmusen, Josh Gracin, & Clay Aiken

Season 3


Diana DeGarmo & Jon Peter Lewis

Season 4-My other favorite season!


Carrie Underwood (!) & Anwar Robinson

Season 5

Katharine McPhee, Ace Young
Kellie Pickler, & Chris Daughtry

Season 6
Melinda Doolittle & Jordin Sparks

Season 7

Brooke White, David Cook, & Jason Castro

Season 8
Matt Giraud, Allison Iraheta, & Kris Allen
Season 9


Katelyn Epperly, Lee Dewyze, Casey James, & Didi Benami

What I love about American Idol is getting to see normal people who most likely never would’ve gotten the chance get to chase a dream. I love watching them grow in their musical style and ability week to week. There has been so much talent discovered during the course of this show. Although my top choice has only won twice (Seasons 1 & 4), I continue to watch, just enjoying being a part of watching people live their dreams and maybe creating a star!

Favorite Fridays-Guilty Pleasure Snack

I am still trying to figure out a Friday 5 post, but I thought I would play along today on Jen’s Favorite Fridays! Today’s topic is guilty pleasure snack!


I love love LOVE dark chocolate M&Ms! They are my absolute favorite snack! I love eating them when I watch movies. My friend Joyce keeps a jar of them in her kitchen, and when we watch movies, we put the jar between us. It’s usually gone by the end of the movie!

What is your favorite snack food?
