Playing Catch-up.

Oof. I’m so sorry guys. I have turned into the worst blogger ever! Things have been busy and life has been getting in the way yet again so the blog has been on the back-burner so to speak. Lovable Friday completely escaped my memory and now I don’t have much of a Weekend wrap-up for you guys either. The good news is that our weekend didn’t consist of much, since we pretty much stayed at home, so there is not much to write about this time around!

What I did want to do was mention the passing of the King of Pop. I know there is much controversy as to what he did behind closed doors and why we are now celebrating a man that may have molested little boys, but the way I see it, death should always be mourned and you cannot deny the contribution to music that this man gave the world throughout the years. I also dare any of you to state that you never sang along or even choreographed a dance or two to one of his songs when you were a kid. I know I, for one, grew up listening to Thriller (because of my older sister) and was pretty much mesmerized by all his music videos. There is one thing that is for sure: the man was a legend, an icon, most probably the biggest celebrity and one of the best entertainers in the world (OK, that is more than one) and whatever crazy ass shit he did in his personal life had no bearing on any of those things. So, rest in peace, Michael. Your music will live in our hearts forever.

Also, RIP Farah Fawcett, Ed McMahon & now Billy Mays. What is going on with the universe? People need to stop dying, ok? My little heart doesn’t like it one bit.

Video Blog | 2

So I hadn’t done a vlog in sometime and I figured it was time. Except, if I remember correctly from last time – my dogs were a bigger hit than I was so I thought it was best to give them the limelight this time around! Enjoy the insanity that is Gwen & her manic episodes, Brad-Pitt’s attempt to regulate and my high-pitched baby slash puppy voice.

Sorry for the brief & boring blog posts lately – we are having a pretty big audit at my job that we need to pass with flying colors. The assault begins today and lasts through to Friday. So wish me luck!

Happy Hump Day: Joshua Jackson

bigbop01

This is a hump day selection that stems back to the days of Bop & Big Bopper. Remember those times? I would use the photos in those magazines to basically wallpaper the back of my door. And I’m pretty sure this photo of Joshua Jackson was included. I’ve been a fan of his since he was in Disney’s Mighty Ducks trilogy (still love those movies, whatever happened to Mike Vitar??) and yes, I am ashamed to say that I also watched Dawson’s Creek mainly because he was on the show (c’mon, everyone knows Pacey was the best character!). And now we are lucky enough to have him on Fringe, which is one of my most favorite shows on TV at the moment. I’m super happy that Fringe will not only have a panel at Comic-Con but that Josh will be in attendance along with his amazing costars, Anna Torv (Olivia Dunham) and John Noble (Walter Bishop)! So congrats to Josh who has managed to evade the child star stigma and build a bright future for himself all while looking pretty good doing so.

On to the photos!

Random Splatterings of Goodness.

wonderlandphotos-550x274

Since I am feeling a little under the weather due to my allergies deciding to mutate and become the most annoying cold overnight and just generally feel a little less than inspired, today’s post will lack focus. So sit back and enjoy some of the random items that have caught my eye on the grand old Internets:

bot02 Images from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland have surfaced and oh my holy God does it look amazing. Do I seriously have to wait until 2010?

bot02 My fear has subsided! My precious ZQ has appeared on the set of Heroes! And looking mighty fine while doing so if I may add!

bot02 Have you seen the site, Geeky Tattoos? It is an excellent mid-workday time-waster and will make you chuckle repeatedly.

bot02 John & Kate (plus hate) have officially filed for divorce. Does this mean we never have to see or hear from them again? Because that would be super.

bot02 Nothing made me laugh harder than seeing vampire, Bill Compton, shopping in Forever 21 during Sunday’s episode of True Blood. I wonder if he picked up some fabulous finds?

Tomorrow we will be back to our regularly scheduled program – no worries, ladies – I have not forgotten that it is hump day and already have a hottie lined up to make the work week more bearable, promise. No sickness could keep me away from delivering the hotness!

Anyone want to bring me soup? Or antihistamines?

Weekend Highlights!

friday1img_2498

I had a musical beginning to my weekend on Friday night thanks to my husband’s place of employment: Agency Net. Always a big fan of ANET events, I was really excited when they announced a karaoke night for employees and their significant others and friends. Although I really didn’t plan on singing (definitely not my strong point), I was having so much fun that I did partake in a few threesomes and group songs (although staying as far from the mic as possible). Don’t believe how hilarious & fun these people are? Check out the video under the jump:

Lovable Friday!

1. Pretty Sweets!

This lovable link comes straight from my husband, Augi. He frequents a Russian photo blog and thought of me when he saw this post. It’s a collection of beautifully decorated and presented sweets. Plenty of inspiration for your wedding’s candy buffet (are those still in vogue?) or next party.  Although not a big sweets fan (I favor ice cream much more), I can appreciate it’s beauty in photos and the joy it brings others. OK, so I’ve been known to stuff my face every now & then with the rest of them – I can’t lie! ;)

Hair Polygamist.

I don’t know what my deal is, but I cannot stay loyal to one hairstyle. I just can’t do it! I pride myself on not having these commitment issues with any other aspect of my life, but this one I cannot quit! And I’m getting that itch now. When I got my haircut only 2 months ago, my new hairstylist told me I needed to get my hair cut every 2 months because my hair is color-treated. At that time, I just rolled my eyes but now I’m starting to think he strategically cut my hair so it would need another cut in that 2 month window! I feel like my hair has already lost its shape and pretty layers. So it’s time for something new – and no better time than right before my birthday & trip to San Diego, right? ;)

Happy Hump Day: Daniel Johns

n28012010149_6714687_6460884

I know to some of you this might seem like it is coming from left field, but I’ve had a pretty big crush on Daniel Johns since I was 14. All my high school friends will surely remember (in embarrassment). I think we celebrated Dan’s birthday by going to Outback Steakhouse and made him a pretty huge birthday card that my friend Janelle delivered to “his people” when she went to the Silverchair concert when we were sophomores (I wasn’t allowed to go – more about that later). Ah, those were the times.

Circus Love

3558672158_225eaa26e4_o

For those of you that haven’t followed my online presence throughout the years, I was a very active “knottie” that enjoyed planning my wedding during my 2-year engagement. I really really loved it. To the point that I considered at one point (& sometimes still do) making wedding planning and coordination a career. It’s the reason I still find myself lusting after events like these.

3558672826_8a1e1b9240_o

Adam & Halli’s wedding was something out of an Anthropologie catalog somehow without being pretentious. They created an old school circus feel for their wedding from their attire to their location to their decor. The attention to detail was outstanding – from Halli’s “Till Death Do Us Part” tee for their rehearsal to the adorable kissing booth during the reception. It is a  party planner’s dream come true.

So for those of you that read my blog and are currently planning a wedding, definitely click here to see all the photos from their amazing photographer. You will be flooded with inspiration! And if I were to get married all over again, I would love my shindig to look as effortlessly flawless as this adorable backyard wedding.

Weekend Highlights!

It’s pretty apparent we have welcomed summer here in South Florida – it’s been muggy, humid and disgusting outside. And nothing says summer quite like a pool party complete with BBQ! My friend, Adam, decided to do just that for his birthday on Saturday and we had such a great time. As always, hanging out with the AgencyNet gang was super fun and I got to break out my new bikini from Forever 21! Unfortunately, I got a little heavy handed with the booze and ended up having a classy moment at a Wafflehouse later that evening. Oops! I hope that as the summer continues we can keep rocking the pool parties – I should test out our community’s pool area, maybe I’ll throw one of my own! ;)

sunday

true-blood-01

Sunday brought a serious case of the hangover, which was only made worse by its pairing with school work as well as work-work. Bleh. Fortunately, I was rewarded later that night with the True Blood premiere! We went to James’ home and watched it together with a group of friends. To all fellow fans, how great was that opener? I can’t wait to see how this season plays out – it looks like it is going to be amazing! Augi has already promised to set up HBO at home so we don’t miss a moment! I plan on picking up a Merlotte’s shirt to wear to Comic-Con next month – gotta show my support, afterall ;)
