Friday night Zac + I went to dinner + a movie.  We saw The Ugly Truth.  It was better than we thought considering the paper here gave it 1 star.  Haha.  I love Katherine Heigl.  Great date :] + I still have moving picking rights :] haha.  I saw this movie preview + thought it looks really good:

Saturday mom + I got facials + massages :]  Then we had dinner @ Chez Philippe:

  

Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved playing + exploring around in The Peabody.  The phones are fun :] haha...

 

The trailer for Alice in Wonderland is out!!!  Can't wait to see these movies too:

Kristen told me about this one...I almost cried watching the preview haha :']

I still need to do the journaling...I'm thinking about journaling "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds or "Crazy Love" by Van Morrison?!?!

Day 3: Prompt 2: Lyric. Journal. Lyric. (left page) + Day 4: Prompt 1: Music video inspiration (right page):

 

(left page) I journaled lyrics from Dave Matthews Band "Big Whiskey + GrooGrux King".  It has some of my favorite lyrics of all time.  Best cd of the summer (i think).  (right page) I have not journaled it yet...I am going to journal "Trouble is a Friend" by Lenka.

Day 5: Prompt 1 + 2: Nonlyrical Music + Random Lyric Interjection:

 

(left) I am going to journal about the way "January Rain" by David Gray makes me feel..."Last Dance" by Sarah Mclaughlin would have been good to do too.  (right) not sure what I'm going to do about this one...probably My Morning Jacket + Vampire Weekend b/c my friend Katherine + I always reference their lyrics in e-mails + talking.  Just the other day she RANDOMLY text me: Katherine: "Guess who's gotta new face?"  Me: "Blake?!?!" haha :) [SORRY for those who have no idea what I'm talking about!!!]  I love that girl!!!

Is the weekend really over?

Friday night the kittens + the cougars (hehe) had dinner @ Pacific Rim.  I had the best martini- grape fizz...mmm...We (all 3 of us) RARELY ever get to hang out!  I ♥ my girls!!!

 

• 3 kittens + 2 cougars
• one purple fizz martini
• 2 white mochatini martinis (me + kate)
• sunny side up roll (ick!!!)
• xlerator hand dryer haha (kristen + I can always get a kick outta these)
• Kim Kardashian pose lesson taught by kate

then we decided to go to Celtic Crossing...

• "she's driving like that chick on the 40 year old virgin"- kate..."did she really just almost throw my business cd out the window"- kristen..."she almost just swerved into me!"-me
• 1 ex-boyfriend siting & later I got asked if I was engaged or married to him (haha!)

5 free shots from DJ (we were totally confused + thought he was the dj haha!!!)

1, "he can dance like a m*****f*****"-kate, gay(?)Spaniard (hehe)

 

• Michelob Ultra in lieu of Corona Light
• hot suit pants + unwashed hair b/c I didn't know we were going out
• viewing of kate's infamous booty dancing :]
• danced to "pretty young thing" at least twice (luv that song)
• too many tequila shots
• 2 pouty face poses

 

Saturday I had lunch with Travis, my old studio roomy, after I FINALLY started feeling SOMEWHAT better.  Then I went makeup + craft supply shopping.  Fun stuff!  Felt sick most of the day + went to bed EARLY!!!

Sunday I cleaned a LITTLE, did laundry + sewed SOME.  Then Kristen came over + we went to Bath + Body Works + the antique mall:

•  kitchen, deep cleansing, fresh lime basil soap...mmm...smelled so good
• gentle foaming soap- Rainkissed leaves :]
• 1 jar of buttons (some of my favorites EVER):

 

• lots of crocheted doilies...hmm...which one to choose for the class? I'm thinking the blue one...i love the black, yellow + green one but it's too small i think :'(

 

• I told Kristen I look for this book every time I go in to antique malls + guess WHAT?  She found it.  Thanks sweetie :] (I collect Alice in Wonderland books, it's my *fav*)

Happy Friday!!!

 

Kristen + I at my mom's pool party.  I have never seen so many cars + women at the house, haha.  I had to work that day :(  but stopped by at lunch.  The tropical chicken salad I made was a hit.

 

Is it weird to anyone else that I'm on the right in all of these pictures??? haha.  Yeah- we like to take pictures :]  These are taken @ Stix.  Mom, Barbara (my aunt), Kristen, Dylan (my nephew), Luke (my nephew) + I all went last night.  The boys love ♥ hibatchi.

  

Kristen + I got the MOST perfect fortune cookies EVER.  I think mine is self explanatory, but Kristen is always talking about wanting to travel + go to Europe.  We were actually talking about it a few days ago.  It came up in a conversation about having babies.  We both agreed that we still feel so young to be having kids + that's one thing we want to do [travel] before that happens.

"Blue Light" by Bloc Party just came on my Pandora.  I love that song + the lyrics... 

"You'll find it hiding in shadows
You'll find it hiding in cupboards
It will walk you home safe every night♥
It will help you remember

If that's way it is
Then that's the way it is

I still feel you and the taste of cigarettes
What could I ever run to
Just tell me it's tearing you apart♥
Just tell me you cannot sleep♥

And you didn't even notice
When the sky turned blue
And you couldn't tell the difference
Between me and you
And I nearly didn't notice
The gentlest feeling

You are the bluest light"

I'm slightly obsessed with song lyrics.  Kara says: "There really is nothing else like it and because some of the loneliest moments in my life have been often comforted by a song that just gets it and explains it and makes everything a little less frightening. The mutual understanding between the lyrics and me is sometimes overwhelming. It’s a quiet and intimate connection."  I totally agree!  She is the "teacher" of the "class" I'm doing.  She's 17!  I think that's awesome!!!
