Buffalo Tom is my all-time favorite band.
Other Favorites - AWOLNATION The Civil Wars Tori Amos Kanye West

I love how you can hear a song and it can take you back to a different time and place or conjure up some great (or sometimes bad!) memories!

Reality TV is defintely a guilty pleasure of mine. I'm a sucker for pretty much anything on Bravo.

I truly love Lost, The Walking Dead, Parenthood, Justified, Project Runway and My So-called Life.

I also enjoy cooking shows as I am a bit of a foodie. I don't cook too much but I love to eat and try new things. My favorite cooking show is Top Chef.

I absolutely love books, everything about them! I have an addiction to buying them and it's becoming a problem! I love browsing through huge used bookstores and finding unique out of print books. I also read a lot of contemporary fiction. Some of my favorites are The Girls Guide to Hunting & Fishing by Melissa Banks, Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen, Castaways by Elin Hilderbrand and A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry

My favorite craft would be scrapbooking. I also love my Smash book and try and devote a few minutes a day working on it. I have started my making bookmarks and cards as well and am really loving that too! So, pretty much any craft involving paper makes me happy, lol!
