    1. Best book I've read in the past 6 months: Well, since I've been in nursing school since August of '08 (it's a grad program and pretty much year-round) I really have not had time to read books for pleasure... but I'm really looking forward to doing that after graduation (Dec. 10th, woohoo!). On my 4 week break this summer I read "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" which was pretty good! I also enjoy reading wedding mags and People if I don't feel like schoolwork or TK- they're pretty entertaining and not very time-consuming. 2. TV show I'm most looking forward to coming back this fall: GREY's of course and Private Practice! They both ended the seasons with killer cliff-hangers! Sept 24th, baby! I'm not sure which one I'm more excited about. My new fave show, though is Master's of Reception on TLC. 3. Am I excited about fall or sad summer's over: SO EXCITED! While yes, I love summer and the beach and everything, there is something about fall that I love more. Crisp and cool weather, grey skies in early evenings of late October/November and the smell of smoke in the fireplace... and let's not forget the weeks leading into T-giving/the Christmas season. Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday, mainly because it kicks off the Christmas season and I am a Christmas season idiot. Christmas music is my favorite type of music. 4. Favorite fall activity: Don't really have one in particular. But I do love that football begins in the fall! And this fall we'll be getting our engagement pics done, so that will be fun! I'd really really wanted to do them in the summer wearing a summer dress/him in preppy shorts (I'm a Lilly Pulitzer girl all the way unfortunately), but because we have had so much trouble picking a date we haven't even looked at photogs seriously yet :( boo. 5. What would we do with an extra $5K for the wedding: Either upgrade the food, most likely get a videographer, or get a different band- I was dreaming of using my grandfather's friend's band, Hero, but they just aren't in our price range unfortunately).

    I'm bored - I'll chime in!1- Best book you have read in the past 6 months?  I've read 153 books since January 1st... I'm not sure I can pick a "best".  Animal, Vegetable, Mineral by Barbara Kingsolver had the biggest impact, I've loved all of the Sookie Stackhouse and Stephanie Plum books (both new-to-me-series this year).  The first in the new Wedding Quartet series by Nora Roberts was awesome (Vision in White).  I got completely caught up on all of the Outlander books by Diana Gabaldon and they are absolutely phenomenal.2- TV show you are most looking forward to coming back this fall?  Dexter, Big Bang Theory, SYTYCD, Heroes3- Speaking of fall, excited or sad that summer is over?  Thrilled.  I loathe being hot.4- Favorite fall activity?  Driving with the windows down, sunroof open and music blaring.  It makes me feel 18 again.  And last year was the first year we took Mia to a pumpkin farm - I can't wait to do that again now that she's a little older.  She'll love it.5- And to throw in a wedding related question, if you had an extra $5K for your wedding, what would you spend it on?  I would have put some toward a better photographer and the rest toward an immediate honeymoon.  We took a trip to Ireland and Scotland 5 months after our wedding with my Mom and cousin and while it was a blast, it wasn't exactly a romantic newlyweds kind of trip.

    1- Best book you have read in the past 6 months?The Mysterious Benedict Society and it's sequel. It's a series of children's books that are witty and wonderful. 2- TV show you are most looking forward to coming back this fall?30 Rock, although we never watched the last four episodes of last season!3- Speaking of fall, excited or sad that summer is over?I'm excited. Summer isn't my favorite season. I like it only for the longer days and open toed shoes. 4- Favorite fall activity?Going for long walks, or hitting the museums in DC now that the bulk of the tourists are gone. 5- And to throw in a wedding related question, if you had an extra $5K for your wedding, what would you spend it on?In all honesty? Nothing. I'd use it for a down payment on a house. I'd maybe use $1k of it to upgrade our honeymoon, though.

    I love Big Love! Pretty much all HBO shows, I just wish they wouldn't put so much space between seasons.
