Some things that have happened - January 2011 recap.

In (mostly) chronological order:

- I quit my job.

- I decided to ombré my hair by myself. With acceptable results!

- I came to the realization that I am not having a quaint, charming and moreover small wedding. Well, it can still be quaint & charming but it definitely ain’t gonna be small. Oops.

- And in the same vein: I asked some special l ady pals to be my bridesmaids! Wheee.

- We booked a venue for the wedding par-tay shindig shenanigans. (I <3 The Indy!)

- I have entered the “OMG I’m getting married in 3 months and have a shitload of stuff to do” phase of wedding planning. Seriously, guys - OMG I’m getting married in 3 months. And I have a shitload of stuff to do!*

(*more on the continued saga of wedding planning over on Puttin’ A Ring On It. Watch my slow descent into bridalmania!)

Roll To Me Del Amitri

internetgrandma:

“Roll to Me” — Del Amitri

I used to roller skate in my unfinished basement to this song when I was in third grade. It has a great roller skating beat! I still know all the words and it still makes me as happy as I was then.

Yes! This is one of my guilty pleasure songs. I thoroughly enjoy it. Should I feel guilty about it or is it totally legit to like Del Amitri and I’ve been carrying around unnecessary guilt for all these years?

spangley:

I want to start a Hall & Oates cover band, but I’m not sure which one I’d be…Hall or Oates?

Possible names for this band:

Abandoned Luncheonette

Private Eyes

Holland Oats (a nod to It’s Always Sunny)

(What I’d really want to call it is Adult Education, but in that movie She’s Out of My League - which btw was actually kind of funny/cute - one of the characters is in a Hall & Oates cover band with that name. Dammit!)

Get another woman to be in it and call it Maneater!

Rick, this is why you are a genius & why I love you!
