The One About The Silence

Remember when I was moving into a new house?

There is no internet in the new house.

It's become a problem.

Whenever the internet gets going, I might write a half-way legitimate blog post, but until then...

this is all you get.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Five Things I Meant to Tell You

1. I went to Vegas, but haven't uploaded any pictures (see previous statement about the internet). A post about Vegas wouldn't be very entertaining without pictures.
2. This weekend I'm going to a wedding in Mississippi. There will be 46 people in the wedding party (that doesn't count the bride and groom, ministers or children).
3. My parents are at the beach for a week. I'm a little ticked I wasn't invited along...not that I can take anymore vacation.
4. My friends have the most insanely fun lives. I've got one planning a wedding, and one planning on a baby!
5. My eye has been twitching for AT LEAST two weeks. Is that normal?

Have a happy weekend!

The One About Everything

Brace yourself for a very convoluted post. Sorry in advance.

First and foremost, one big huge apology for the radio silence this week and last. Last week I had a pretty good excuse, which we'll get to in a minute - but this week there is none...other than that three-day-weekend thing.

OOPS!

Last week, my best friend's boyfriend called to inform me that he would be PROPOSING to her over Memorial Day weekend. That's a good reason to not be blogging, right? Basically - I couldn't come up with anything to say that didn't involve my best friend GETTING MARRIED!

I'm finally leaving on my girls trip to Vegas tomorrow - I know y'all are excited to not have to hear about it anymore. I'll hopefully have loads to tell you when I get back. Twelve girls all in Vegas together - I literally CANNOT WAIT. I'm going to spend all weekend laying by the pool, eating (and drinking) deliciousness and spending time with some of my favorite people in the whole world. People I haven't seen in MONTHS.

Have y'all been over to The Brightside Project lately? It's so much fun to look through all the fun things people are loving (and giving away).

Also, I signed up for Pinterest. It's pretty amazing. Similar to ffffound, only better (and prettier). It's been so much fun to play with...and now I won't forget where I saw things.

We were at Paul's house last night (previously mentioned, newly engaged) and one of the guys brought his brand new silver lab puppy. OH MY WORD. He was so adorable - and named Ernest. I kind of want one right now.

AND - My little sister moved up to New York for the summer this morning.

Ok - I think that is all.

The One With The Dog Clutch

I would like to meet the person who thinks it's a good idea to spend $5,795 on a crystal bag shaped like a dachshund. Click on the image for the link if you have that kind of cash laying around.

The One About Magnets

We have a new refrigerator in our new house, I know that's really big news - HA. Wouldn't these look adorable on it?

From the MoMA

Aren't magnets the cutest way to brighten up a kitchen on the cheap. These are pretty stinkin' cute too. And look! Magnets to make your fridge look like your phone.

The One That Sparkles

The One At 26

Last night a few of my girlfriends and I went out to dinner for a birthday celebration. We had heard great things about 26's Happy Hour so we decided to give it a try.

I learned that while Happy Hour definitely keeps things LESS expensive, it also tricks your brain into thinking it's reasonable to drink more. Kind of like buying things you don't LOVE just because they're on sale.

After dinner we walked across the street to the Blue Monkey, where I found out that people from the East coast wear sunglasses at night.

Actual conversation (semi-paraphrased) -

Guy in Bar #1 : Dude, you have sunglasses on in the bar.
Guy in Bar #2 : I'm from the East Coast

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

Now I'm going to spend tonight on the couch - reading my book and catching up on the DVR - including Grey's Anatomy (which I hear is GREAT, apparently my roommate cried through the whole thing).

I'm also going to pack boxes, which in general sounds heinous.

The One With Thoughts

by BekahPaige

Work is insane, really, like after this week I'm going to need some super duper drinks, a large carton of icecream, and a robot to load Netflix movies into my DVD player while I hang out on the couch.

Or a straight-jacket.

Just wanted to let you know that I'm going to Vegas in exactly 16 days. Sixteen days until I get to see some of my favorite people in the whole universe. I'm kind of excited about it.

After Vegas my life pretty much spirals out of control and I'm just going to try to hang on for dear life.

Right now, I'm just trying to focus on the fun things...

like Vegas,
and London,
and my really good book that I'm reading,
happy hour with good friends tomorrow night,
the fact that the weather is gorgeous,
and moving into an awesome house,

and not focus on the bad things...

like the fact that I had to go to the DMV today,
and I've only packed 12 boxes (all of books).

And on a completely unrelated note, I saw this post and immediately fell in love with this dress.

but kind of also love this jumpsuit. How very un-me. I'm much more in the vein of these adorable shorts. Helen - maybe you want to scrounge up some money and make these your basic black shorts?

I love Mara Hoffman.
