The Great Outdoors.

This just in: The In Laws are coming this weekend! Good things it will be beautiful out and my Outdoor Space is Barren and Embarassing.

Hurry.  Do something.  Guess I'll be scavenging you know where.  And fast.  So my porch and patio can look more like this...

Some of the Met Gala

Are you interested in the who what wear of the Met Gala this past weekend?  Yes me too.

 

Only because I want to be in a social club and wear all my best Marchesa gowns too.

 

Beyoncé's Blue Tail Feathers 2012

And Beyoncé 2013.  Because it's Beyoncé.

Rooney actually didn't wear black.  And looked way hot.

Ashley went for Bollywood.  And I love it.  Normally I think she looks like the bag lady. In a bad way.

Let's hear it for cut outs...Not sure how that top piece really works but hey.

 

Jessica Alba is famous only because she has a great stylist.

 

And Kristen Stewart always manages to look freshly rolled out of bed.

In a bad way.

Hey girl did you quit ENews? I know I would.

 

Oh dear Lord.  There's more where that came from.

 

Oh dear sweet sweet Lord.  Honestly.  She needs to be counseled.  In nursing world that means: she needs to be told what for. Why.  In dear Buddha's name would she not hire a stylist?  I don't care that she styled closets in the 90's or whatever.  That doesn't mean she was good. 

 

And I don't normally support Nicki because...well because I don't. {Ok you want to know?  Because she is tacky and negative and a hater with a bad attitude and a bad influence and expresses herself by insulting people over twitter by calling them names and challenging them to social media fights.  She's like the all bark no bite girl you avoided four years straight in high school who you run into 10 years later and acts shocked that she is the same person and you have actually grown into yourself. That's why.} However a little bird told me she was changing her look and it's about time.  That hair and make up is on point.  Finally.

 

 

How fun are you Coco Rocha?!

Sushi Sunday

If you follow me on instagram you would already know...

That Elizabeth and Sammie's wedding left me in pain.  Literally.  Those shoes for eleven hours rendered me useless on Sunday.  Thanks be to Tasu Sushi for BOGO take out on Sundays{and Mondays.} Thanks also be to Josh for feeling the same way.  With not enough fight in him to protest watching Fried Green Tomatoes all afternoon.

Wedding Season!

This weekend was a celebration, honey!  Let Wedding Seaserrrrn begin!!

You may or may not remember my mentioning some near and dear to my heart and soul ladies

 

So let's just take this time to say...

 

Congratulations to the Groom Best Wishes to the Bride-Elizabeth and Sammie!

 

Josh thinks so too. {Amy's Josh. Not my Josh.}

Well ok maybe my Josh too.

 



Yall, this couple has been together since high school.  So.  Here's to longstanding relationships! 

And fresh new relationships born at the Capitol Club Wedding Reception

And fun college first comes love then marriage then baby in the baby carriage relationships.

Excuse my unsteady hand

{Hiiii! It's us again!} And post college turned young professional, initially long distance relationships

And more fun college and now live in Wilmington with not 1 but 2 baby carriages relationships.



 

And more new bromance relationships 

 And ECU School of Nursing Class of 2006 relationships

 

 

Doesn't it just make you want to RIDE THE TRAIN?! {Come on ride it.  It's the choo choo}

 

 

And scream and shout and let it all out?

 



Elizabeth it was beautiful, of course-and of course we knew it wouldn't be anything less, thank you so much for having us to celebrate you and Sammie!

My gift to myself.

I have finally come to terms with the fact that my house

1. is not baby friendly. 

and 2. should be for my sanity's sake. 

and 3. I have to figure out how to move in that direction while not going all Target and DIY crazy up in hurr.

Seriously.  That crap can only be taken but so seriously.

I just bought this chair.  Ok I bought two.  Happy Mother's Day to me.

 

And now post is basically a pinterest board of the direction in which my Family Room is headed. 

This is where we have started.

 And speckled black and white.

So I had curtains made in this fabric and my sister put together some matching floor pillows

 

Que an image similar to my rug...but not circa de 2009 pottery barn

 I ran into some (not exactly new. ok 2011) inspiration boards from isuwannee.

 

 

 

And I'll keep you posted, how about that?

 

 

 

Can I just tell you how burnt up I am over this image re-sizing issue? 

Josh's Birthday

This past weekend we celebrated Josh's Thirtieth Birthday Again.  I mean, like, for the second weekend in a row.  He started out with his feast of choice: Cheap Mexican.

 

 

No I am not kidding.  He loves Mexican. 

Then we headed to The Hive for a small gathering of light bites and bevies.

 

 

Hey boys.

Sorry it was kind of dark in there. 

 

 

And arm wrestling.

 

 

And signature solo performances with dance moves.

 



 

 

And duets too.

 



 

Hey yall there's us.

 

 

 

And this was how we celebrated the weekend before. 

 

 

 

This is how we found the young'n when got home.

 

 

 

And then to Buku for brunch the next day.

 

Oh Dear Lord help me.  I spent the entire meal calling on Jesus to make my child be quiet.
