Screw sad

I just read this and now I want to make my own gratitude list.  Ima think about this today and get back to you.

Also, still no pictures.  Blogger is sucking today, but I'm grateful I can tell you that via Blogger!  (See, I'm trying.)

Wedded Bliss

Julie and Ron's wedding was beautiful.  Julie looked gorgeous.  Ron was absolutely beaming at his bride, and Moxie was running around like a lunatic.

It was perfect.

My favorite picture I've seen from the night is of us girls laughing about "fashionable leggings."  I am so incredibly thankful to have met the girls that Julie chose to share this momentous occasion with, and I'm so happy for Julie and Ronald.

Recent Goings On

A lot's been going on lately.  Most of it involves a pool and copious amounts of suncreen and cocktails.

Here are some pics from recently:

 Accidentally brought a little surprise to the office!  It was in my purse from the weekend and made me lolz.  And that damn Netflix!  I never return it and always end up paying, like, $5 for one night.  Argh!

 Found this freaky thing at a gas station.  It reminded me of one my best frands because it is a cat...and has a UT koozie.  She's flattered, I'm sure.

 Made this lil' guy for my work frand and then her bee-eff was jeal, so I made him one too!  Good news...you can make one yourself!  I would recommend rounding out the velociraptor's back, otherwise he looks deformed.

 My sweet baby monster at Blues on the Green.  Bob Schneider played.  It was hot.  There were a ton of people.  It was hot.

 

Sweet glow stick earrings my frand got for me from the mom sitting next to us.  I matched the 4 year olds and looked way cooler than all the 24 year olds.

Besides that I've helped some friends move in 100 degree heat and have been preparing for one of my best frand's wedding this weekend.  It's going to be a blast!  I'll actually take pictures so that you can see how much fun I'm having and not have to rely on weird pictures I take on my phone.

Songs I've been likin'

I'm not the person you go to for the newest song that no one's heard of.  I'm the person that hears a song about a year later than everyone else and then replays it over and over until you're tired of it again a year after you heard it for the first time.

These are the songs I've had on repeat for the past couple of weeks:
 Starry Eyed by Ellie Goulding


Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People (thanks for introducing, Steph!)


If I Die Young by The Band Perry


Cameras by Matt and Kim (again, thanks to Steph.  She has good taste in music!)


Listen and enjoy!  The one by The Band Perry is kind of depressing but really pretty.  The rest make me want to dance!

Swimming in Summer

This past weekend I babysat quite a bit.  I babysit for this wonderful family with the sweetest kids.  I think I say that about all the kids I sit for-- I love 'em so much!

Well, this particular time I babysat for them was quite possibly the easiest job ever!  When I arrived their dad needed to do some work and wanted to get the kids out of the house so we went to see Rio at the movie theater.  It was a pretty good movie and the kids loved it-- see?  Easy!

On our way back home while I was driving the family's sweet Lexus GX 460 (I want one!), the little girl asked me if we could go to the pool when we got back.  Um, yeah!  I wasn't wearing my swim suit for nothing!  Then she asked me what country club pool I went swimming at. 

I actually don't belong to a country club, my dear.  

Then how do you swim?! 

She was so concerned that I didn't have a place to swim, poor girl.  It made me laugh though.  She seriously thought that if you didn't belong to a country club there was nowhere for you to swim! 

I'll be ok though...my apartment has a sweet pool that I plan to frequent this summer.

Yep, that's my pool!  :)

Take un segundo...

and vote for this chick's grandmama!  Lauren Modery writes the blog Hipstercrite.  She's really funny, is terrified of living on the East side of Austin and seems pretty cool.  Way cooler than me, that's fa sho.

She nominated her grandma for Good Magazine's People to Admire.  No, I haven't heard of Good Magazine either, but that's not the point.  She post funny stories and videos of her grandma and her grandma's boyfriend who's got Alzheimer's.  She also writes about things the happen around her humble abode (i.e. the East side) and life in general.  It's entertaining.

Just go vote, kthnxbai!

PS:  It's June?  Whaaaaa?
