Tantatlizing Tunes

Ho-hum, it's Hump Day!

Do you feel like you need a pick me up during your work week? Well, guess what?! I have a fun tune that practically yells at you to nod your head along with the beat. It doesn't hurt that the guys in the band The Airborne Toxic Event are Oh-So-CUTE. (And Anna is just a talented little beauty!)
Here is a one shot video for their song "Changing." I love the official video just as much, but I feel you have to give props to them for sounding just the same, if not better, live. They don't have any shows coming to San Francisco on their current tour. Should I make the trip to Sacramento to see them play in June? Yes, I think I should.

Being that I am a Mississippian, I have to give mucho props for incorporating The Strikers in their video. My love for stepping started with my 9th grade cheerleading coach. She made us perform a step routine at every pep rally! Have you ever tried to learn a step routine before? What do you think is the ultimate step routine song?

Update on Lawya

As you noticed in the write up- And the topics are.. I notified my numerous readers (ha!) that I no longer converse with Lawya.

We had a petty little bickerment about which one of us is more stubborn. We are both currently winning the competition. Dead heat.

This. Right here. Could be a monumental alteration in his life. Sometimes you have to let go to move on.

So finally, the marriage proposals have subsided and something that has comforted me for 6+ years is now gone. Yet, I have not thought about it often.

Regina Spektor "Hero"
Can you believe she sang this song live? Her voice exudes so much emotion and honesty. I can't lie. It has been on repeat for a whole week. I would guesstimate I have listened to it ~74 times.

Cripple Creek

I want to move back to the country and live near a creek.

And I hearby name this creek, Cripple Creek!
(It's fun to say in a southern accent.)

Hobart Smith pickin' a fine tune called, of course, Cripple Creek.

A shift in the works.

I would like to start incorporating a mixture of pictures and thoughts that frequently enter and exit my mind. I say this because the exit is so swift that I remember them like a fish remembers it's verbal commands.

I was invited to attend a wedding with a certain someone in Idaho this summer. I really just wanted to peruse pictures of "cozy homes" on yahoo, and this gem just happened to appear! This quaint little home just happens to be located in Idaho. Don't you just want to make a cup of cider and read a great book like the Great Gatsby or tantilizing true crime like Devil in the White City? I feel the porch is lacking a swing and me on the swing bundled up in an old quilt. Ahhhh. I think I'm ready for Fall before Summer has even gotten here.


Here's a picture of "Moroccan" decor that makes me want to paint the walls in my room. I one day strive to have the ability to mix and match colors like this. Those windows..!


There has been one constant in my "dream home" decor. I know that I want to have a vintage style kitchen. I cherish all of the antique shopping malls I have been dragged to with my Mama. After MANY years of complaining of the cold (why are they always so cold?), I began to appreciate the history behind each piece. You never know, Judy Garland could have reclined on that sofa or Clark Gable might have eaten off of that plate. I love fantasizing about the "what ifs."

I was actually looking to buy some of these babies today. Unfortunately, I felt the prices were a little steep. They were selling each for $22.00. Whew!

Red actually increases your hunger, while blue supresses your hunger. This red cabinet is still to die for!


I should be getting to bed soon. I want to leave you with a song I have been listening to on repeat for about 7 months. Enjoy!

Two Door Cinema Club- "Secret Circus"
(I think the title of this song would be a lovely theme for a birthday party!)

I LURV new candles.

Especially ones that cost 2 buckaroos.


Those symbols above are supposed to be of my eyes and a peace sign.

If I have a son, I'll name him Hardy and call him Har Har for short.

S.O.G.

I was watching Cash Cab today in preparation for my upcoming trip to NYC and I spotted an oh so attractive contestant.

Do you believe this male is Straight Or Gay? I personally don't care either way, just as long as I can oogle all I want.

Feast your peepers on this:
