Oscar Night 2009

As I sat down to enjoy Oscar night, I couldn't help but get hung up on the crazy red carpet fashion/drama! I went ahead and started watching the hour before the show started. M thought I was slightly crazy, so I went to the bedroom to watch in peace..lol! I knew he couldn't stand being away though, so he finally joined me once the show began. However, for the red carpet fashion I was definetely on my own! I thought I would recap some of my favs and not-so-faves of the night!

I'm not really a fan of Miley Cyrus, but I thought her dress was georgeous! She looked a little big over-dressed for a girl her age, but there was no denying the beautiful gown!
I also LOVED Natalie Portman's amazing bubble gum pink gown. She always looks so put together and natural. Kate Winslet looked radiant as ever last night! Her dress was pretty, but I thought her hair and make-up were simply beautiful! She definetely looked like the leading lady that she is!
Like everyone else and their mother, I of course couldn't take my eyes away from Brad & Angelina. I was drawn to Angelina even though I did not care for her look. I heard one of the random tv shows referring to her as looking like a Disney villian and I couldn't get that idea out of my head! haha :) (I think it was the HUGE emerald earrings!) Brad was looking amazing as the best peice of arm candy all night :)
Amy Adams is super cute, but I did not care for her dress. I know a lot of people criticized her look altogether, but I LOVED the necklace! It just didn't go with the dress...
That's my Oscar recap...in all of it's glory...haha. Sorry it is so late, I really did BEGIN it on Monday....oops:)

Week in review 2

Things have been sort of boring around here lately, so I didn't have much to post!

M finally got back from his trip and I'm super-duper happy about that! I've been so bored/lonely, on top of being sick! Not a very fun way to spend Valentine's Day, but I'm much better now! We spent the weekend catching up and spending time in Indy with friends! Pictures to come later...lol :) But for now, it's back to the couch to relax and watch the Oscar red carpet!

25 Things About Me

Well, here it is. I know it took me a long time to finally post this, but maybe once you read it you will understand...haha! Hope you enjoy...

1. I love being married.

2. I aspire to own my own business someday…possibly doing something creative like flowers, wedding planning, decorating all in one!

3. I really don’t take long showers, but spend half of the time standing there dreading getting out because I might get cold! Plus, I can’t STAND the feeling of wet hair against my back!

4. I love Q-tips…and use them everyday!

5. I’m really bad at answering my phone. If you know me at all, you’ve probably been on the receiving end of this and I apologize. (It’s not really on purpose…most of the time :o) )

6. I absolutely love my job! It’s been stressful, fun, exciting, and eye-opening getting to start my career.

7. I have a love/hate relationship with living in Lafayette. I LOVE that we have an adorable home and are making lives for ourselves here. I HATE being away from family and friends. I LOVE being so close to my college stomping ground. I HATE that none of my friends are here to enjoy it with me. I LOVE the freedom I have living in a new place. I HATE the smell of this city!

8. I could eat spaghetti, chips and salsa, and mac and cheese everyday and not get sick of them!

9. There are times when I focus so much on HOW to organize something that I end up not doing anything because I can’t make a decision.

10. I have serious issues with making decisions. Pathetic I know…but I just get too tied up with thinking about every possible outcome that I end up not making one at all!

11. I like to consider myself one of the grammar police. (ask my parents…also, the idea that “mac” in #8 is written with a red squiggly underneath is driving me nuts already!)

12. I love to use big vocabulary when I talk, write, text, email, blog, etc. (M is always sure to point this out and laugh)

13. I absolutely HATE chipped nail polish. If one little piece chips away, I immediately start picking the rest of it off. It drives me crazy!

14. I love when you can be so close with someone that you can just look at them and immediately know what they are thinking without saying a word.

15. I like to turn on every single light on my way to any room. Maybe I’m still scared of the dark?!? (Ex: Last night the power went off and I was all by myself. I screamed, the dog jumped, and I scrambled for my cell phone…for the light of it of course! Then with my phone guiding the way, I safely made it to some matches, lit a few candles (ok, maybe enough to start a bonfire), and then called my parents.) The lights came on 10 minutes later :o)

16. I am so thankful for my amazing family. I don’t know where I would be without them in my life.

17. I feel equally lucky to have married into an amazing family.

18. I’m so excited to be an aunt! Baby G will be spoiled rotten.

19. I believe retail therapy really cures all things. I used to hate the idea of shopping by myself, but having done a lot of it lately (see # 9) I have learned to really enjoy it. I could spend hours in a store and never buy anything…which drives M crazy!

20. My friends are absolutely amazing! I know that no matter how life changes, we will always be able to pick up right where we left off.

21. I <3 procrastinating! (maybe that’s why its taken me so long to do this…but it could just be #10)

22. I despise doing the laundry. M thinks I need laundry 101 classes. I think he may just take over that job!

23. I drink 2 cups of coffee every morning. With yummy flavored cream of course!

24. If you told me I was going to end up married to the boy I met in high school when I was only 15, I probably would have said you were crazy! Now, I know that I was crazy to waste any time at all with him.

25. When looking back over these 25 random things about myself, I realized how truly blessed/exciting/happy my life has been. I can only pray that it will continue to so in the future :o)

Week in review

Whoo! I can't believe I have gone so long without a post! I kept meaning to post last week, but I was quite busy. I would apologize, but I'm not sure anyone was actually heartbroken not reading a post from me... :)

I WAS going to attempt to make this post my 25 Things About Me, but it is taken WAY longer than I had anticipated! (It's actually quite hard to sit down and think of 25 worthy things about myself to share!) Maybe by tomorrow I can have a list done...maybe not..the GRAMMY'S are on! Along with Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters...goodness, I just realized how pathetic my tv watching habit is! Well...off I go to feed my television addiction!

My Favorite "R" Things

Here they are...in no particular order...My top ten favorite things that start with "R". Joey gave me mine, and if you would like to play, leave me a comment and I will give you a letter! Hope you enjoy!


1. Riesling wine--just so smooth and tasty!



2. R&R--Rest and Relaxation...nothing I enjoy more than hanging out at home in comfy sweats!
3. Roadhouse, Texas--Who can honestly resist those rolls?! Yumm :)

4. Reading--Right now I am completely obsessed with the Twilight series! I started reading the books over the summer, and with all the craziness of working...I am still reading Eclipse! Don't spoil the ending for me!!5. Reality TV--You name it, I love it! American Idol, The Bachelor, America's Next Top Model, The Hills, Survivor, True Beauty, and the list goes on...


6. Raspberry--I love the flavor in almost anything! I love it even more than strawberry or cherry!

7. Red--The color of my first car, the decor in our living room/kitchen, and just wearing red clothes!

8. Rascal Flatts--Love them and their songs! One of the best concerts I have ever been to!
9. Red-nosed pitbulls--Only because my beloved Colby is one! (and because they get a bad-rep as ALL being bad!)

10. Redecorating--Or just decorating! Either way, I love to think about redesigning our house and driving M nuts with all of my ideas!

SNOW DAY!

ANOTHER snow day! But this time the snow is for real! (not just cold weather) We have a little less than a foot of snow! I attempted to shovel the driveway so I could get out for a little bit, but that didn't work out so well...that snow is HEAVY!! I think shoveling gave me more of a workout than when I go to the gym....hmm :o\

Well I am currently working on my list of "R" things, thanks to Joey. Hopefully I will come up with some good things before the day is over.

Stay warm and hopefully we will have school tomorrow!! :o)

Relaxing Weekend

This weekend was quite relaxing and nice for a change! M surprised me and came home EARLY on Friday from his trip to Dallas! I was excited and we spent the night catching up and of course playing the Wii. He THOUGHT he was going to come back to a pro-Wii bowler/tennis player/MarioKart of a wife....but that sure didn't happen! I didn't even turn the thing on the WHOLE week!
I won't bore you with the details of our relaxing (i.e. nothing-happening) weekend. It was just nice to have nothing to do for a change. I enjoy being as lazy as possible on Sunday afternoons, trying my best to not get out of my PJ's. :o) I kept telling myself that I would post, but I just couldn't pull myself away from the couch for long enough. I also was quite happy to see that Juno has made it onto our HBO On Demand, so of course I had to watch that! (so funny!)
Our area is supposed to get some snow tonight, and I can't help but hope for at least a 2-hr delay!! I know it's kind of pathetic, but honestly I would LOVE to sleep in sometime this week...I think I got a little TOO used to a couple of weeks ago! Ok, I better get some things done before my Monday night line-up comes on! I can't wait to see who Jason sends home this week on The Bachelor....as long as it isn't:
Melissa...
or Molly...
and if Jason really wanted to make me happy...he would eliminate Shannon! (seriously, telling him every detail of his OWN life is only going to FREAK him out! C'mon girl...please tell me you are just kidding!?!)
