30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 22

A letter to someone who has hurt you recently.

Dear Leslie Moonves,
                           Over the past few months there have been some careless actions that have bothered me quite a bit. In all honesty I feel that certain things were selfishly done purely for the best interest of your own bottom line. Just thinking about what has been done recently, causing me frustration week after week, angers me to point of a minor headache. I cannot even count how many nights my boyfriend missed precious moments of football overtime to console me, telling me everything would be okay, just be patient baby. Although what has happened may not directly be your fault and you may not have intended to cause such mental anguish, the end result is your responsibility and the fate of the situation lies in your hands. I forgive but I do not forget. I am not looking for an apology, I am looking for a resolution and positive change from this point on. With that said Leslie, I hope your conscience leads you to do the right thing...put CSI Miami back to its previous day and time slot on CBS Primetime!
Thank you,
             Mina Slater

Lol okay so no one in my circle has hurt me recently so instead I wrote my letter to Leslie Moonves, President and CEO of CBS Entertainment. What? Don't judge me! That time/day switch of CSI Miami to Sundays at 10pm really irked me! Football games going into overtime pushed the show to 11pm, 12m or postponed until the following week. With the lack of good shows on television, we have to fight for our favorites to remain in tact. I hope CBS realizes what a craptastic scheduling fail they made this season! Fix it Moonves, fix it!

A photo of something that makes you happy.

Something that makes me happy is my "Love Script" keepsake box. I received it a few years ago as one of my Valentine's Day gifts, filled with layers of a bagillion gourmet chocolates. They were very expensive and so pretty I didn't want to eat them but Lubby insisted and they were delicious! 

Inside now are photos, ticket stubs, travel itineraries, flower petals and other items that remind me of various amazing moments I've experienced. Looking thru all of the memories in my keepsake box makes me happy and I add to it often. I'm running out of space...maybe a special someone will get me another keepsake box this Valentine's Day!

The meaning behind your blog name.

There is really no big, magical story behind the meaning of the name. The web address is pretty self explanatory, named after me of course. My boyfriend began calling me Princess over 4 years ago and eventually most of our friends called me that as well. I like to write about things I think are fabulous and awesome so..."Princess-Mina.com - Fabulous Awesomeness" was born! That's all.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 18

Something you crave a lot.

Honest answer: attention! Even in my shy moments (yes I can be shy sometimes!), I have always loved engaging people in conversation, being social and putting on a show. At the same time, I blush like crazy when complimented. I have a mixed combo of shyness and sociable behaviors depending on my mood. Also, I love my alone time, girl time, friendship getaways and all...but at the same time, in a relationship I require a massive amount of attention. I am a high maintenance girlfriend, I can admit that! 

P.S. Most people that say they do not like attention are lying or in denial for the most part...people rarely like to be ignored or overlooked. If you have a Facebook, Myspace, blog, or Twitter account...you like attention on some level. Think about it.

P.P.S. On the food aspect. I require tons of pizza or any type of Italian food...and ice cream!

A photo of you and your family.

This was tough since I do not actually have a recent photo of my family together. We'll have to do something about that! Our schedules are all so different and when we are all in one place at the same time, we do not really think to snap photos. Oh well, 3 photos will do. These were taken in December at 2 community events we volunteered for.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 15

Something you don’t leave the house without.

I know you must be thinking that something I do not leave the house without is my HTC Droid Incredible. Also my camera or netbook. Perhaps you guessed lip gloss or some other beauty goody. All are true at times but the one thing I truly never leave the house without is...

my Ventolin HFA rescue inhaler. Yup, my inhaler. I typically keep 3...one at home, one in my purse and one for the car. What I like about this inhaler is that it comes in 2 sizes, compact (60 dose) and regular (200 dose). Also, it has a dose counter which counts down every time I use it, so I'm always aware of how many puffs I have left before needing to refill.
