Day 3 of 30 days of ME! - Favorite TV Show

Today is supposed to be about my favorite TV show.  I have to admit that I don't have just one, but several that I watch when I have the time.  Here is the current list in no particular order:

• Royal Pains
• Law & Order: SUV
• Bones
• CSI: NY
• NCIS
• Burn Notice

hmmm...I'm noticing a theme here...all of them are dramas.  LOL  That's what I want to watch at the moment.

My all time favorite show though was MASH.  I miss that show.

Day 2 of 30 Days of ME! - Favorite Movie

I am having a really hard time picking just one movie.  I have my favorite movies for the holidays, for when I need a good laugh, or when I just want to sit and relax with a good movie.

Some of my favorite movies!

But my all time favorite movie is Casablanca!

Stephanie Meyer Eclipse Novella - FREE

For all of you Twilight lovers... Stephanie Meyer is making her Twilight novella, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, available online for free for a limited time.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Natasha over at Maw Books is hosting the 3rd Bloggiesta the weekend of June 11 - 13, 2010.

Some of the things that I am going to try to get done this weekend are:

Mark your calendar - 3rd Bloggiesta

Natasha over at Maw Books is hosting the 3rd Bloggiesta the weekend of June 11 - 13, 2010.

For those who have not participated before, this is a chance to take a look at your blog and knock off the items on your blog to-do list that seem to always get pushed to the side because of life, etc.

Take a look at Natasha's original post about the 3rd Bloggiesta to get ideas on what others might be doing during this weekend.  I'll be writing a follow-up post in the next couple of days with items that I will be trying to get done for Bloggiesta.

If you would like to participate in Bloggiesta, make sure that you sign up with the Mr. Linky on the original 3rd Bloggiesta post on her site.  While this event is being hosted by a book blogger, it is open to anyone who has a blog.  I hope to see you there!
