Home is a sweet thing.
1. Lately Josh and I have taken an interest in the show “House”- about the cantankerous, mean doctor with an addition to pain killers and a limp. We watch about one episode a night on Josh’s HUGE laptop computer [he has the 18" apple] before bed. It’s the best!
2. Pet Peeve- this one KILLS me, because it’s about me, by me, and because of me. I really HATE it when people mistake words that sounds/are spelled alike for one another. This came about by reading back on my blog [especially when I'm tying fast and just trying to get it all out... I don't check myself]. Things like their, there, and they’re are most typcical but have some BAD ones in some of my recent blogs… the worst part? I can’t edit after I post! If I go back and edit, it messes up all of my spacing and looks terrible. It’s almost like starting from square one. So, I have to leave it… out there, in the public world. Cringe!!!
3. Jasmine Star wrote this blog and I just read it for the first time today. I LOVED how she described not only detail shots from a photographer standpoint, but how important they are to people like ME [other vendors], the clients [who have slaved over the details for months] and clients soon to come [looking for inspiration]. Well put, J!
4. Wedding trend I’m crazy for: loooooove eclectic bridesmaid dresses! When you see pictures in all the mags of real weddings, it seems like this is all the rage. I have one event this summer that will feature “grey dresses” on the girls and I’m already soo excited to see what each of the ‘maids are going to come up with to express themselves!
5. Josh and I had a bitter-sweet stay at the BRAND new Hotel Palomar in West LA. Since the hotel has only been open a month so far, apparently they are still working out the kinks in this 5-star resort. The modern, “moody” feel to the hotel I loved [Josh wasn't crazy for how "ambient" the hallway lighting way- he thought it was too dark], but the service was, unfortunately, not my favorite. Our tub drain didn’t work, the phone in our room was broken, when we ordered room service, they were out of EVERYTHING, and most of the employees seemed uninformed as to what was going on. That being said, if they gave me a free night, I’d go back! Hint hint!! Haha. I promise, I’m NOT that uptight, high-strung, or picky. It just seemed to be an off night for the place. Here are some pics of our evening:
I feel like a witchy woman with my hair crazy wavy like this…
Special thanks to Josh for modeling the hotel’s funky robes…
6. I know everyone has OCD in certain ways, right? I got into a discussion with my sister a few weeks back about one of my crazy obsessions, which pertains to eating food and candy. Basically, whenever I’m eating something bite-sized, I have to eat the same amount on each side of my mouth. Meaning, chew two m&ms on the right, two more on the left. It really, REALLY bothers me when packages come with uneven amounts. And if they do, I’ll bite the last one in half and chew half on each side. I know… is that a bit much or what??
7. I have a Facebook account! I don’t really “get” facebook yet, since I’ve been on myspace for years, but I’m excited to have one and I really want everyone to be my friend!! Add me, already! And then teach me how to do it.
8. I love that Martha Stewart uses Ju-C Suckers almost every issue of her wedding mag for something. Ju-C’s suckers look AMAZING every time I see them photographed and I cannot wait to get my hands on some. More than that, they have a price that can’t be beat! I think they’re a hot ticket idea right now, if you ask me. The website may look kinda ghetto, but the suckers are to DIE for- especially knowing you can customize them to a T!
9. Okay, so, Josh really likes to go to the movies. I mean, I like it… but he REALLY likes it. We go probably once a week. Sometimes more! I know, it seems like a waste of money but for one reason or another we almost always have movie passes, too, so it works. Plus, our Regal Crown Club Card is seriously giving us free stuff like drinks and popcorn, which is sweeeet! That being said, of the movies currently out right now, here’s a list of the ones we’ve SEEN:
Kung Fu Panda
Wall-E
Hancock
Get Smart
The Incredible Hulk
Sex and The City
Don’t Mess with the Zohan
Yep. I think that leaves like, what… two movies we have YET to see? Either way, after a long week[end], we love to grab lunch and enjoy a matinee on a Tuesday!
10. Lastly- dun dah dah DAH! Josh’s name and tunes are officially up online being associated with ABC. Josh has been working for ABC for a little over a year now but we’ve still yet to hear any of his songs on our television [mainly because they buy the music and then store it into a catalogue that the shows choose from when they need tunes- since most of these shows are "daytime dramas" and run 5 days a week, they need the most stuff]. We don’t watch General Hospital and when his music IS placed, we don’t find out until 9 months later when we get a circulation statement. BUT, we do know he’s been played somewhere. Well, today he got an email from one of the ladies he works with regarding their new show The Secret Life of the American Teen, which I haven’t really heard of yet, but anyway… they put up music of his online that you can make into an online “mix tape” for your friends. So, since there are only TWO of his songs up there, here they are for you to enjoy:
YAY for Josh! I’m off to a rehearsal for this Friday’s wedding! It’ll be a busy weekend for me and I can’t wait to come back with a full report! For those of you that missed Pru and Con’s wedding pics having their moment [or, few hours] of glory at the top of my blog, be sure to scroll down- their wedding was gorgeous and can hopefully provide inspiration for some of you nearly-weds out there!!!
