Flashback Friday

I was having a hard time thinking of what to do for this week's Flashback Friday post.

Then the genius idea came to me...

Does anyone remember these little critters?

It was this blob called a Tamagotchi that lived in a keychain. And was all the rage in the late 90's. It would eat, poop, and play games. I raised and eventually killed three of these little critters.
Before all the tweens/teens carried around cell phones in school...I remember carrying these around and having to sneak peeks in class to make sure my Tamagotchi wasn't covered in digital doo-doo. Oh the horror, when you discovered the Tamagotchi had sh*t itself like 5 times and was dying because you weren't there to clean it up.

Let me add, that when I googled "tamagotchi poop" there was a real picture of what only could be human turds. That'll make you vom up your morning cereal real quick.

If you were lucky, and a good parent to your Tamagotchi then he/she would grow up and become a big bird looking thing. But then what? You could start over...or do what I did...lose the Tamagotchi and go out and buy another one.

p.s. Link Up YOUR Flashback Friday at the bottom!

And I wanted to wish my very best friend in the whole wide world, Sarah and her sweet husband, Matt a Happy Anniversary.

I can't believe these two have been married for 5 years already!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, sweet big boy, Mason! You've grown up so much over the past year and I can't wait to watch you grow even more. You look exactly like your mama which is such a blessing to look like someone so beautiful.

You were the first newborn I held and you were so good that I wasn't scared of tiny infants anymore. Thanks!

I can't wait to see you at your party this Saturday! Your parents have been planning this since you were a month old so I know it's going to be great!

Love you Mase!

What I'm Loving Wednesday...

I know the last time I did a WILW post, I said I didn't love much. Well, I still don't. It's still the same standard Justin Timberlake, peanut butter, and drinking.

But...you can add something else to that list now.

Last night I went to see Bridesmaids. Oh. Em. Gee. This movie was hilarious. You need to run, don't walk to go see this. And guys will love it too. Promise! It's got the vulgar humor they are looking for. As much as I try to come off as a lady, I probably have the dirtiest mouth of any girl you will ever meet. It's a gift.

Here is a clip of one of my favorite parts...

In addition to loving the movie Bridesmaids I equally love these next 3 things just as much (if not more).

I love Mandy for making the hour drive (one way) to see this movie with me. This was her 2nd time, but she loved it so much she came to see it with me.

I'm also loving the fact that we were able to smuggle wine into the theater. This will be a first of many smugglings.

And I'm loving myself...which is nothing new...for coming up with the wine smuggling idea.

Bridesmaid Luncheon

Sunday, Kelly's grandmother hosted a sweet bridesmaid luncheon at the country club in Kelly's hometown. It was such a perfect day with great southern food and anticipation of the big day.

Kelly and her precious little flowergirl, Ila Kay. I can't wait to see both of these cuties on June 11th.

Kelly gave all her bridesmaids these fabulous totes! Love! And it matches our bridesmaid dresses to a tee. Inside the bag were some fun little extras, but the best part was Kelly each made us a mixed CD that she personalized with fun songs that reminded her of our individual friendships.

So of course, on the drive back home I had to pump up my jams to see what songs she picked.

Here are my favorites...

Look After You - The Fray

Back in May 2006, Kelly and I drove to Myrtle Beach to see The Fray at the House of Blues. On the way we bought the CD and listened to it the whole way down. It was such a fun weekend and from that entire album, this was our favorite tune.

What You Know - T.I.

Kelly knows my love for T.I. and this is by far my favorite rap song of all time. It will never get old. And when going home from the bars we would crank this up..."when I chirp, shawty chirp back."

Don't Stop Believin' - Journey

This was our standard college anthem. If this was played in the bar...we would get so jacked.

My Love - Justin Timberlake

Standard that Kelly would put a nice JT tune on there for me.

Moon and New York City - Christopher Cross

I have no idea why Kelly and I like this song or why we played it...but Kelly, our friend Devin, and I were coming back from a trip to the mall in college and it came on and we've loved it ever since.

p.s. please bear with me as I work on a new bloggy design. :(

Flashback Friday

If you follow me on the Twitter or are my "friend" on Facebook (I kid, I kid)...then you know I had my 10 year High School reunion this past weekend.

So for this edition of Flashback Friday, I thought I would provide you with some enjoyable photos from the event.

When I told people that I left a raging bachelorette party for my high school reunion they asked me "Um...are you being serious?" I even had friends try to pay me to stay at the beach. As tempting as that was, I decided to travel the 4 hours home from the beach to my reunion.

Despite most people, my school was small (like 400ish students 8th-12th grade) and my graduating class was equally as small (70ish people). We were all so close and got along so I was really excited to see who would show up.

I know I had you help me pick out a dress to rent...but...I went with something I already had. This little number I had only worn once and had not been photographed in. We ALL know that us girls freak out if we are tagged on facebook in an outfit and then realize we wore it a few weeks later. Maybe it's just me...but I don't think so.

Chad is the hilarious husband of Sandi...if you don't follow her, you should. Not just because she's my bestie but because she's sweet, gorgeous, and sells girls' clothes. Follow her...NOW!
