The Waiting Game

I'm waiting impatiently for a couple of things right now, all of which can be mine at some point this month.

-Ra Ra Riot's 2nd album, The Orchard (August 24th)

-Mockingjay, the third book in the "Hunger Games" series (also August 24th)

-The release of Eat Pray Love (August 13th)

What are you waiting for?

Unwelcome Transformation

How did we go from here...


To here?

From here...
Or even here..

To here?

Miley Cyrus is not even 18 and Tayler Momsen has just turned 17. This is no where NEAR what I looked like at this age, nor is it what I'd want my (future) daughters to look like. Is this the new trend?? Scary...

A new idea.

Lisa Linehan has a new idea. Plan the wedding, and hope to find a groom. Is she part of the "build it and he will come" Field of Dreams theory? Buy the dress, get the cake, set the date, book the venue...surely the groom will appear. She has literally done all that, with no man in mind. Lisa is 35 and wants to cut to the chase and find love. She admits it is unconventional, but is excited at the potential fairy tale outcome. If she doesn't find a groom by her February 15 deadline, she'd like to enjoy the party anyways. My question is, will she wear the dress?

I am completely speechless...

The Final Rose

So, here we are, back to Monday again. I have a confession...I'll be watching the Bachelorette finale tonight with my roomie to find out which guy Allie will choose.

Will it be Roberto, king of the jungle?

Or our personal favorite (Alicia's from the start), Chris L?

I'm ready to find out!!! Wonder if we will ever STOP watching this ridiculous show...

Reminded

Today I am reminded of my all time favorite quote. (via Vintage Girl).

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.

~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I wish...

...a wonderful and peaceful weekend for everyone...

(love the quote on her header, "smart is the new sexy, awkward is the new cool, flawed is the new beautiful")

Get with it, sister.

Such a fun filled weekend ahead...while it's only Thursday, I have a half day tomorrow (leaps for joy), a bachelorette tonight, and am in a wedding on Saturday-whew!

As promised, pics from the roller skating 80's party...listen...roller skating was surprisingly difficult seeing as I haven't attempted it possibly since my 4th grade birthday party...but at least we rocked it with style :)

Bright colors..

Killer moves...

Award winning shoes..

Absolute attitude...

**I do not have a talent for keeping a straight face....I cracked up during MOST pictures!!!

-----------------------

Here's to Shannon & Jason who will be getting married this Saturday here in town! I made Shannon a veil to wear tonight (she does not know this yet..) as we take her on the town one last time as O'Shea!

Aren't they so cute?? We'll all be wearing Shamrock green to celebrate her Irish roots.
