Woohooooo!!!

I'm off to Las Vegas friends! I've written posts to magically appear while I'm gone (the resort charges for internet, lame!).

I'll be back with pictures and hopefully some good stories (from Vegas and the wedding).

It's Finally Here!!!

Praise the Lord it's finally my sister's wedding day!!!

There was a lot to do with this wedding so I'm really relieved everything has been done and we can finally enjoy a day. And I'm REALLY thrilled that hubby and I leave for vacation tomorrow.

But I thought it might be fun to celebrate the day being here in some way. Preferably an odd way. So off to Etsy it was, to look at vintage bridesmaid dresses. Because I could really be unlucky and have to wear one of these babies...

There's just no way this can be flattering. No way. (via TimelessVixenVintage)

This made me laugh. It's like, Little Bo Peep's wedding dress! I understand this was the style, but I'm so thankful it's not anymore. (via differentHues)

I think this one could almost be cute. Almost. (via TimelessVixenVintage)

This one popped up on my page and I immediately thought of a space-themed wedding. Doesn't it look kind of futuristic? Click on the link to go see the bodice up close. You must! (via TimelessVixenVintage)

And this... well, there are no words. Except that I think a couple of my aunts have worn a version of this one. I want an "outdated dress" party now. Hmmm... my birthday is coming up. (via differentHues)

So happy Saturday, and happy wedding to my sissy. Feel free to send good vibes all day. Good vibes are always welcome on a wedding day.

Random Amusement

I've been sitting on this for awhile. I saved the page in my "favorites" and ten forgot about it. But I thought maybe everyone could use some random amusement today. So here you go.

So the story is that this woman wanted a picture of her with her husband so she set her camera timer. And this little attention whore of a squirrel popped up at just the right time.

If this had happened to me I'm pretty sure I would have peed my pants laughing. What are the odds??? Enjoy, and happy Friday.

My First Giveaway Win!

Okay, instead of making this one of those posts that takes up a full front page of my blog, I thought I'd condense the pictures into one slideshow. That's a whole lot less scrolling for you! And on the chance it doesn't work (which would totally fit with my life right now) I'm sorry. I'll attempt to fix it if y'all let me know.

So I was lucky enough to win...

• my magnet that went up on my fridge right away, I love it!
• my geisha girl postcard, which I mentioned will be framed like a little piece of art
• stickers made my Less apathy. More cake (I think the puppies are my fave)
• my girly skull charms
• unbelievably cute charms also made by LAMC (I'm thinking cell phone charms?)
• that sweet apple comb
• my miniature cakes (also by LAMC)
• that adorable juice glass that is sitting on my mantle because it's pretty much perfect for fall
• and my sweet mini desserts!

I think now I need a little shelf/cabinet/display for my baby desserts. Wouldn't they be cute on a little shelf in my dining room? Maybe displayed by cookbooks or something... hmmmmm.

Thanks again to Melanye for the awesome giveaway! And if you haven't already clicked on one of the links to her blog, I suggest you go do so now. Or visit her super cute Etsy shop!

Wish List Wednesday

Okay so I know I've mentioned that I started going to the gym again. If I didn't mention it here I know I've talked about it on Twitter. Anywho, I'm sticking to it and can feel a difference.

Now just because I'm going somewhere to work my butt off and sweat profusely doesn't mean I don't want to look cute. So I thought I would check out some cute things for the gym today...

I'm probably in need of some new shoes anyway, so I picked out these three from Piperlime. I like cute running shoes, and I'd be fine with any of those brands.

Good pants are important too. I can't take it if they're too baggy or if I'm constantly pulling them out of my butt (sorry for the visual, mom). These all look comfy. Although I'd likely have to hem the longer ones (stupid short legs). They came from Athleta, Gap, and Old Navy.

And last but not least, I found some WAY cute tops. All of these came from Old Navy, Athleta, and Gap as well. How could I not want to go to the gym if I got to wear this cute stuff??

So there you are, cute gym things. I actually do have one cute top and one cute pair of capris. And I swear it helps! Because there's no need to look that frumpy at the gym.

Paaaaarty!

Okay, my sister's bachelorette was Saturday night. I stayed out until 3:40, which I haven't done since... I honestly don't know. Met some cool people, randomly ran into a former coworker, and managed to score free drinks. But OH I was exhausted Sunday.

Much went on that I will not share because I try to keep this blog relatively clean. The night consisted of three bars and some good stories that I just can't share here. I can share a couple videos with you though.

We started the night at a little hole in the wall that had some karaoke going. So here are a couple videos. The first is my brother-in-law (he was one of our chauffer/bodyguard/bouncers for the night). I'm really only posting it because I'm a jerk. I'll admit it. But really he isn't bad. And FYI, sorry, that's my obnoxious laughter at the beginning and screaming when he starts dancing. I'm loud. The second video is us girls singing Love Shack... badly. I'm horribly ashamed at how bad we were. And yet I'm posting it here for your amusement. Don't say I don't love my readers.

Hey

Just so everyone know, I did get my giveaway package, I just haven't written the post yet. It will come soon though.

Just sit tight.
