A Rarity

As I’m sure a lot of you moms can relate, Natalie and I are rarely in a picture together because I am almost always the one taking them. So I had to document these pictures from a couple of days ago. I wish we were not squinting! But it was SO bright outside. Not much longer and she will be taller than me! I even have on 4 inch heels in this picture.

Pollen, pollen, go away!

The pollen has been falling here & it has been horrible. Just ask Bitsy...

Thank goodness I don't have allergies but still, it's just yuck. I kid you not, there was literally a yellow cloud of pollen over our town on Wednesday. It rained Thursday and washed some of it out but the pollen just keeps falling. I'd love for it to rain- but not today. because today we are going to Pam and Kerry's wedding at Botanical Gardens- yay!

Concert Re-Cap

Well, if my midnight post on Facebook saying "Best night ever! I'm a little sweaty." was any indication, it was indeed a great night and a freaking awesome show. Do I love him more after seeing him in person? Why, yes I do! Center Stage was a very cool venue. Oh you don't believe me? My sister will tell you 88 times just how cool it was. Because we chose to hang out in the bar, we did not go down to the floor until the openers were done and the show was about to start and we were not close enough AT ALL. But after about the second song, I was like "screw it. we're about to piss some people off."  ...and we did but we got closer- all the way to the rail. I lied a lot, blamed other people pushing me, bribed with drinks, told people they were pretty when I couldn't even see their face, Karin told everyone it was my birthday- I thought some chicks were about to beat the crap out of us. Yep, we were those girls. But I was not going to be there and not get close- that would have been absolute craziness! I did not take much video because I could not be still. I did not take a ton of pictures either because I did not want to look through my camera the whole time at his royal hawtness. Oh, and Karin caught a guitar pick for me- which I promptly put in my mouth. Nice, huh. Do I want to see them live again? You have no idea.

 

Countdown: 1 day!

Had to save one of my favorite songs for the last day of my countdown. I would also like to go ahead and apologize to my co-workers if I am especially hyper tomorrow or break out in random moments of dance-fever.

Regression

I never idolized any musicians in my youth and was never infatuated with any celebrities. Sure, I liked New Kids on the Block. Who didn’t? (Joey!!!) But I did not scream and cry when their corny graffiti-filled, concert-shot videos were played on T.V. in between Saturday morning cartoons. I didn’t even have a t-shirt! Since I was deprived of the pure joy this can bring to a child, allow me to regress and make up for that now by saying… I heart Justin Furstenfeld.

Yes, I will be 29 in three weeks and my 9 yr. old daughter’s crush on Justin Bieber has got nothing on my Justin-crush. That is sad- yes. But I’m gonna roll with it.

I heart you Justin Furstenfeld.

I heart your insanely crooked teeth.
I heart your excessive use of guy-liner.
I heart how your weight constantly fluctuates just like me.
I heart the all-too-honest lyrics you write.
I heart your slightly goofy last name and how I feel goofier when I say it out loud.
I heart your incessant use of the F-word.
I heart that you’re a little scary, a little sweet, a little sad and a lot not-right-in the-head.
I heart your retarded mix of boy band-symphony director-mosh pit-schizophrenic-rage-dancing.
I heart that you genuinely, sincerely have a mad case of the crazy.
I heart that I get to see you perform live tomorrow night! Yaya!

Countdown: 2 days!

Y'all wish my sister luck... She might have to drag me home. What if I can't be still long enough to take some video? This thought has tormented me all day!

Bitsy got a haircut!

Happy Easter!

Countdown: 4 days!

Countdown: 6 days!

Less than a week to go! ...I know he seems a little crazy but I totally get him. The fact that his weirdness is hot to me most likely means that I have learned nothing from the past and ought to stay single for the rest of my life. Which is my lifeplan for right now so I'm on the right track. Awesome.
