Bridesmaid Blues

Hi there. 

As you probably know, I'm getting married to my best friend! He's cute, he's silly, he opens my doors, AND he's a good kisser. Ah, I'm in love. 

So now comes the stressful part: PLANNING THE WEDDING. 

I went dress shopping, and found my dream dress. CHECK.

Picked adorable colors. CHECK!

Venue hunting, and found a beautiful venue. CHECK.

Photographer hunting, and fell in love with some pictures. CHECK.

Picked my gorgeous bridesmaids. CHECK

Now comes the part where I'm ripping my hair out. Bridesmaid dresses. Who knew it would be so stressful?

Here are my requirements.

In my colors (Yellow and Grey)

Vintage

Knee length

Must have sleeves

Available in sizes between S and 2X

Less than $100, preferably closer to like... $20. 

Minimal alterations required.


So... If you can help a sister out, please do! 

Coach & Caillou

One of my favorite teachers in high school was Coach White. I took his psychology class because I thought psychology was interesting, and I ended up in his AP class and as his Student Aide because he was just that cool. 

He had a couple cute kids that we would hear about often, and apparently they had a fascination with the cartoon character Caillou.

One day, as we were learning about serial killers, the Caillou theme song found it's way into Coach White's thoughts. He started by humming it, then singing it, and by the end of the class he was whispering it psychotically as if it were some sort of creepy mantra. 

I guess this memory sticks out because it's so easy to relate to. Everyone's had a song stuck in their head that stayed there for so long that they felt as if they should checked into a mental hospital because it's causing a mild nervous breakdown. 

Some artists you can handle, and some (Cough, Ke$ha) Make you want to shoot something. 

Here's the theme song if you're lacking in obnoxious tunes. Knock yourself out, kids. 

Caillou Theme Song

Adventures with Emily

We enjoy catching up for hours and eating good food. 

I've missed her. 

We also like finding new indie bands too. 

More music for you to try out:

Suitcase - The New Electric Sound

Viking - The Brocks

New Music & Old Friends

Putting new music on your ipod is always refreshing, but putting music on your new ipod is an awesome feeling. Especially when you've been lacking a music player for a while. 

I'm currently taking the train to go see an old friend with my headphones in. I was having fun gazing out the window while listening to my music, but I started to feel a bit cliche', so I pulled out my laptop to blog instead. Because that's so much less cliche', I guess. 

I'm really looking forward to reuniting with this friend. We were really close in  high school until she moved to a different state, and the distance caused a bit of distance in our friendship. It'll be fun to catch up with her. We have years of gossip to squeeze into one night. (malicious laugh) 

Music & Old Friends? What could be better?

Here's some of the songs that I'm listening to:

Carry On - Fun. 

(I dare you to try to listen to this while you're in a public place. You will be physically restraining yourself from singing with it.) 

Home - Phillip Phillips

(I'm pretty sure this song is on an insurance commercial or something, but I like it. It's one of those ones that works great for staring out the train window at the passing scenery. I'm weird, I know.)

Lego House - Ed Sheeran

(His voice makes me melt. Something about the way his lips wrap around the line "It's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm" makes me fall in love. In LOVE, guys.)

Dear Bobbie - Yellowcard 

(I can't listen to this song without tears finding their way to my eyes.) 

The Best Thing - Relient K

(I've liked Relient K since Jacob Sobers introduced me to them in Junior High, and I don't think they have a single song I don't like. So is this song about God, or is it a love song? It depends on the day for me.)

Radioactive - Imagine Dragons

(If you go listen to it, you'll probably understand why it's on this list. It has a lot of power in it, and I like it.)
