Happy Thursday everyone! Almost time for the weekend, although, I do have to work but what can you do. This weeks Thursday 13 is, Favourite Places.

1. Los Angeles. I've been twice and love, love, love it. I love the city, the beaches, and the hot weather all year long. My favourite was Santa Monica Beach and the pier.


2. Few years back I visited San Francisco for the first time and I fell in love immediately. The city is beautiful and I would love to go back soon or even move there. 

3. Vegas. I only went for a night after driving from LA but the short time spent was fun! The only thing I didn't enjoy was the hot, hot weather. It was almost to hot to handle. 

4. Miami. Nothing better than being on a beach and swimming in the ocean.

5. Algonquin. Northern Ontario is beautiful. I went during a high school trip and it was amazing to see and experience the calmness and peacefulness.

6. I would love to one day go to Europe. My top three choices would be to see Greece, Italy & Paris. 

7. Japan would be an amazing experience. The culture alone would be incredible to see.  

8. Hawaii. I need to go here. That's all there is to it.

9. New York City.

10. Chicago

11. Seattle

12. Bahamas

Thursday Thirteen

I first came across Thursday Thirteen when I was visiting Aunie Sauce's Blog. I've decided to give it a go. This week my Thursday Thirteen will be thirteen things I would have on a desert Island.

1. If I were stranded on a desert island my number one thing I would want to have is my boyfriend, Jeff. I would definitely need the manly strength for building shelter and getting food. And of course, he is awesome to hang out with and I love him to death.

2. Obviously, food. But if I couldn't have food than I'd want cooking supplies like pots, pans, forks, spoons and knifes. Possibly a BBQ?

3. Endless supply of fresh water.

4. Matches

5. My ipod. Music would make it a much more bearable situation.

6. Sunscreen. Definitely sunscreen.

7. Tent with a sleeping bag.

8. Bug spray.

9. My Mac Book with an endless supply of battery.

10. Cherrios! I love Cherrios. I would need to have my Cherrios.

11. Mr. Zebra. A big, pudgy stuffed animal that I've had for a long time.

12. Scuba equipment. I've never been scuba diving and if I am going to be stranded on an island then it would be the perfect opportunity to learn.

13. Finally, toilet paper and tampons. Those two things would make life a lot easier on an island.

That's it! Hopefully I can keep up this weekly tradition.
