My pal Jamie over at It's My Life recently tagged me in one of those 10 Things About Me posts and I have to admit, I really love participating in memes like this.
I simply love getting to know my friends better - especially my blogging friends, because a lot of connection is lost by only "seeing" each other online. These memes where we share quirky information about ourselves? I love them! For instance, Jamie recently published his first ebook, Grande Plage on Kindle. That makes two friends of mine who have been self published this year...and while I am a little jealous that they've been so dedicated and have accomplished what I haven't - I am so incredibly happy and proud of them! The other friend is Lacey, who published Tangled Web earlier this year.
So...10 Things I Can't Live Without?
Let's get started! Oh - and these are not in order of importance, okay?
1. My iPhone. Seriously, it is permanently attached to my hand and I could not function without it.
2. My family. All of them: husband, daughter, parents, sisters, etc. I love my big, crazy but loving family!
3. The ocean. I grew up in Miami and I am a true Florida girl. I need the ocean, or at least a pool, available to me at all times.
4. Iced Coffee. I never drink hot beverages, but I became addicted to iced coffee last year and can't see NOT drinking it...
5. My dogs. I never thought I'd be a dog person until I had Alaskan Malamutes and Shelties. I love my fur babies!
6. Cable. I watch a sickening amount of television. I know that I should be ashamed of this, but I am not. I love TV!
7. Mac Lip Glass. Yeah, I love that stuff! All the moisture of Chapstick but it actually makes me look pretty too.
8. Black eye liner. Seriously, I can leave the house in Mac Lip Glass and a little black eye liner and feel like a million bucks!
9. The Internet. Is that a given? It should be. As a blogger, I require the internet to run my business, but I also need it just because I am horribly, terribly addicted and can not function when I am not online! How would I check my bank account balance?!
10. Dresses. Seriously, I don't know if I am just weird or if it is the heat...but I live in dresses. They're pretty much all I ever wear!
What are 10 things that you can't live without?
Kiersten
Maybe it's because I'm an aquarius, but I have always wanted to live near water. I am jealous! And like you, my iPhone is basically attached to my hand at all times. Even when I'm on my computer...
Anne - Mommy Has to Work
I love the ocean too!
Kathleen
Some of mine are the same, except dresses. I only own one and I can't bring myself to actually wear it out in public lol.
April Decheine
I have to think about this one and do a post 🙂
Rachel
I am all about the dresses also.
I call them my mom uniform because I am always in a dress or as skirt.
Tammy
I can't live without my family, too.
Kelly
I am a straight internet junkie. I wish I was intro dresses too.
Notorious Spinks
Great list. I might need to add my MAC Lipglass to my list because it's the bomb!
Billie
I'm a full on tv addict and with Netflix and my Kindle Fire (it's propped up right next to the computer, so I can watch tv AND work) I burn through seasons of tv shows like nobody's business. I'm also addicted to the internet.
Barb
Jenn, I can't live without my iPhone 4S, iPad, or iPod!! I totally agree about iced coffee---if it's not at home, then hello Starbucks! I've hit gold card status with them! Definitely my family's on the list, along with my friends!!
debra
I love your list and relate to most of it! I can't live without peace of mind ;).
nicole
Great list! Many of mine are on yours! 😉
Stefani
I just love all the things on your list. I couldn't live without my family, iphone, internet, cable, flip flops, chocolate, pizza and my cat!
Courtney
Your pup looks so fluffy and soft! So cute!
Amy
Awesome list! For me - family, dogs, computer, internet, tv, smartphone, flip flops, Diet Dr Pepper... sad!!
Katie
I hear ya on the iPhone!
Steph
I love many of the things you can't live without, except dresses. I want to love them, but I just cannot.
Kathy
My family and my laptop!
Anne
Sounds good, I love iced coffee too, it is much better than hot coffee!
MomStart (Ashley)
Yes... you do have some GREAT dresses. =)
Rachel
Lol -- I *nearly* got an iPhone this weekend but my husband pushed for the new Samsung Galaxy 3s .... I still haven't decided if I am happy about the new phone or not.
Stefanie
Family, phone, camera, laptop ... internet!!
Emily
I may have to work on my list!! Your dog is adorable, and the way you wear dresses you should wear them all the time!
Theresa
Your dog is so cute! I couldn't live without my family either. Beautiful photos Jenn!
Ty
What a wonderful list! Your dog is super cute!
RJ
Love your list! I'm not much of a dress girl, but you pull them off so well! I couldn't live without my books or headphones. They keep me sane! I know what you mean about not being a dog person. Until I got Padfoot I NEVER thought of myself as a dog person. Turns out I was wrong. 😉
Lolo
Great list!! The beach is on my top 10 too, and my family is #1!
Nightowlmama
did I miss u at BLogher? love the pic way too cute lists are fun aren't they
Shell Fruscione
Your list could seriously be my own- they're very very close! I'm bummed though because I don't have a beach, but we do have lots of pools so it helps. But the beach is my all-time happy place! Your dog is BEAUTIFUL by the way!
Jenn
We must have, I don't remember meeting you! 🙁
Jennifer
definitely do not separate me and my iphone either.
Crystal
I couldn't live without my iPhone, family or internet either. These are must haves.
Marcie W.
I love your list and we certainly have a few items in common!
Donna
We have a lot in common. The biggest difference would be that I prefer hot coffee over iced. 🙂 And I love the ocean/beach, but don't live near one. 🙁
Katja of Skimbaco
Awesome list and loved getting to know you a little bit better! I love the ocean too, and haven't lived on the coast since 1997 and it's killing me!!
Liz
I watch zero tv during the day, but I watch all the reality tv crap I can see at night! Love my iPhone too!
Jenn
The funny thing is that I never watch TV during the day either! Not even on weekends! It doesn't come on until around 7 or so, but then it's one until midnight!
