Zombie Apocalypse: Survival Kit & Crew Bloghop

We've been impatiently waiting for The Walking Dead premiere on October 12, so to bide our time, we thought a zombie themed blogfest would quench our zombie thirst.



Zombie Apocalypse: Survival Kit & Crew Bloghop

Post date: Friday, October 10, 2014 (cause no one wants to post on show day!)

Details: To help build your zombie apocalypse dream team and survival kit, you will need to pick ONE person and/or ONE item for each of the topics listed in the below categories.
(Items you already have on your person: undergarments, shirt, bottoms, socks, tennis shoes & a backpack. If you want special shoes and/or boots, jackets, belt, etc.; those are extra and will need to be listed for one of your items below.)

And since this bloghop is all about having fun, if you have kiddos and/or pets, we can assume they are safely tucked away in a safe haven somewhere while we’re out in the world fighting off zombies, so do not worry.

With the characters below, please include the book, movie & TV show they stem from.
The Walking Dead character is the only one that needs to be from a zombie themed entertainment outlet, but please feel free to choose characters from your other favorite books/movies/tv. They may or may not be zombie related. It's all up to you. Just let your imagination flow!

Topic for August 25-29:  Name one cancelled/retired TV show you'd love to see back on with new episodes.


There's only one TV show that comes to mind ... LOST. I loved it, and it was one of my favorite series. I just wish the ending would've left better closure. So, I'd love for LOST to come back on with new episodes, and to hear those famous words ... "Previously, on Lost."

Topic for Aug 4-8 Who were your celebrity crushes when you were a teen?
Johnny Depp - I fell for him when 21 Jump Street graced my television.  And he's grown more beautiful with age. I'll always heart him. 
John Stamos - Blackie from General Hospital and Jessie from Full House. He made me laugh and cry on a weekly basis. 
Oh, and he could sing. *sigh*

Topic for Aug 11-15 What in one thing Steampunkish you find fascinating from books, TV, movies, and/or the internet?
I'm not a fashion guru or anything like that. I don't even enjoy shopping (unless I'm getting an awesome deal) But the designs of steampunk outfits amaze me.


Who were your celeb crushes as a teen? 
Like Steampunk? What's your favorite thing about it?

<-- Here's the EYM badge for August. 

July was a crazy month, so I got wayyyyyyy behind! :( Here's two of them. I'll try to start on August this week! 





Topic for the week of July 21-25: What are some fave items that bring you comfort and/or hold special memories?



My sis is a sewing genius. She's made the nursery bedding for my two youngest sons, as well as quilts for the rest of my family. 
I have one she made me that I sleep with. Yes, I have a blankie. :)

Do you have anything that brings you comfort or holds special memories?





Topic for the week of July 28-August 1: Who would you choose to portray you in a movie?

I couldn't think of who I'd choose to portray me so I asked my hubby and then fellow blogger, Dani. 
Leo said,  "Rachel McAdams, not the Rachel McAdams from Mean Girls. The Rachel from The Vow or The Time Traveler’s Wife or of course the Notebook." 
I'm glad he doesn't think I'm a Mean Girl! LOL
Dani said, "Sandra Bullock. She is funny and serious at the same time. And seems like such a cool person!"
Both of these choices are perfect because, when Leo and I watch these actresses in their movies, he says things like, "That is so you." or "That's something you'd do."  
So they picked great ones to portray me.

Who would you like to portray you in a movie?
