what if he's not cool?

I was discussing with my friend Mandy my heartbreak over the Justin Timberlake wedding.

 

Yes, i'm still upset about this.

 

Here he is with his ring

 

(excuse me while I sob)

 

Sidenote: As much as I hate this picture...I also like it.  He looks like he's holding a box of blows and a toddy.  As much as smoking is totally gross I do it from time to time when I'm drinking.  It seems Mr. JT does this as well.  Judge my love if you must.

 

Mandy mentioned that Ryan Gosling was in Austin,TX last week while she was there for work.  And maybe it wasn't meant to be for her and Ryan since they weren't able to run into one another.

 

There was one time Justin was in Columbia (where I went to college) while his dude love (Jessica Biel) was shooting a movie and I didn't drive down there to stalk him.

 

Maybe it wasn't meant to be for us either.

 

Mandy thought that maybe JT isn't as cool in real life and that it's a blessing we didn't meet.

 

But JT is funny...so funny.  I think he would be cool.  And I would want to hang out with him at all hours of the day/night.

 

I love Channing Tatum, but unless he's doing this move 24/7 in my presence I really don't care about being his best friend.

 

 

 

Mandy recalled meeting some comics that are funny in shows but in real life they suck.

 

I'd like to imagine that JT would be all I've dreamed if I met him.

 

Here are some other celebrities I hope would be just as cool in real life as they are on TV.

 

Aziz Ansari.

 

Andy Cohen.

 

Katy Perry.

 

 

Anderson Cooper.

 

 

John Mayer.

 

 

Chelsea Handler.

 

 

Have you met these people?  Are they cool?

I missed my chance.

yesterday, while perusing Twitter (@sweetbef), I read this news.

 

{JT & Jessica Biel gettting married this weekend}

 

my immediate reaction.

 

I thought I still had time to stop these wedding shenanigans.

who gets married in ITALY anyway?

 

 

when I'm not crying...I'm like this.

 

 

BUUUUUTTTT...magic mike comes out on DVD next Tuesday

 

 

so I have this to look forward to...

 

 

awwwwwww. yeah.

 

 

and this photo is titled...

 

"The Way We Were"

 

 

perspective.

you hear it all the time.

 

"life is too short."

 

but it truly is...so short.

 

some of you may already follow Julee Turner's blog, but I saw this post today as I was doing my morning blog reading.

 

my heart breaks for julee, her little baby, preslee, her mother-in-law, her brother-in-law and the rest of her husband's family and friends.

 

I can't even begin to comprehend.

back in june on my birthday, a former co-worker of mine sent me a "happy birthday" text.

 

I knew she had a small wedding in early june and asked how she was doing as a newlywed.

 

she told me that her new husband, the love of her life, had been diagnosed with MS and since her wedding they had been in and out of the hospital.

 

just today, I found out that her husband is now in a wheelchair and living at his parents while she still lives in their apartment.  they also found out they won't be able to have children.

 

my heart aches for the new couple and the struggles they are facing during just the first few months of marriage.

 

kelly is by far the sweetest person I have ever known.  and I mean that in every way possible.  I worked with her for 3 years and never heard her ONCE say a bad thing about someone else.  they are such a sweet and special couple.  her positive attitude I know will get them through, but I pray it's sooner than later.

 

just puts my own issues and struggles into perspective.

my pet peeves.

I'm taking a "page" out of Sami's post from yesterday to list my pet peeves.

 

 

(these aren't all about grammar, but I will say I hate that animals say "haz", "iz", etc.  it's weird they're talking at all.)

 

These are listed in random order.

 

1. "1st Annual"

 

Think about it.  How can it be "annual" if it's the first?  I remember learning this in a public relations class in college.  It annoys me to no end.

 

2. iPhone group messages.

 

I realize these are important when there are big announcements to make  (engagements, babies, etc) and they don't annoy me up until other people begin to reply.  I have a droid phone...I can't comment back.

 

Example: Yesterday I was included in a group message that was with myself and 3 iPhone users.  It lasted for 3 hours.  In order to respond to the group I had to send my own group message to the other 3.

 

Finally I gave up.  It's like being inside a box where you can see the other people talking (sometimes about you) and they can't hear/see you inside that box.

 

I've been able to notice when i'm included in a group message and normally don't respond because it's more pain that it's worth.

 

So if you ever want to include me in a group message via an iPhone think twice.

 

3. Gum/Food Smackers.

 

Is an explanation needed?

 

4. Getting an "okay" or "K" as a text response.

 

waste. of. time.

 

5. # on Facebook.

 

That's not how it works people.  Hashtags don't work on Facebook. 

 

I just kept it to 5 to keep it short.  I'm sure there are 10 pet peeves inside of me somewhere, but for now these are my top 5 pet peeves.

does that make me crazy? {link-up}

  1. Does it make me crazy that I cannot sleep with my any exposed appendages. (i.e. I can't have my arm or foot outside of the bed covers for fear someone will grab it)   2. Does it make me crazy that I still run/walk very fast when going down a dark hallway or up dark stairs.   3. Does it make me crazy that my fridge and cabinets are super bare.  I only buy food items that I'll eat or need at the time.  I probably have MAYBE 4 things in my fridge at one time.   4. Does it make me crazy I've seen every season of the Real World since the beginning (circa 1992).   5. Does it make me crazy I get excited when movies I love are on TV...even though I have them on DVD and can watch them any time I want.   6. Does it make me crazy that there is a certain word I can't say, I hate hearing other people say or talk about it.  It has grossed me out since I can remember.  I can't even type it.   7. Does it make me crazy that I watch TV before going to sleep and when I'm ready to go to sleep I tuck the TV remote under my pillows.   8. Does it make me crazy that I don't answer when my phone rings.  I screen all calls...even at work. I HATE talking on the phone.  So if you are my friend, you should probably just text me.  Or I accept HeyTell as another alternative.   Does this make me crazy?  

   

granny saturday.

I will make this short.

 

But I was pretty proud of my "granny saturday" so I wanted to share.

1. Friday night Mandy and I ventured to this hole in the wall bar to see her friends band play.  They were great, but the best part were the patrons. 

 

Imagine if Honey Boo Boo & Mama June invited all their friends over and those friends decided to dance up a storm.

 

The point of us being there was the band claimed they wrote an original song about Mandy's bartending days...but we never heard it.  So we left.

 

2. We woke up early to attend my hometown's Fall Festival.  They allow people to not only listen to music and eat fair food, but you can buy a spot and have a yard sale.  Mandy and I enjoyed watching what we like to call "human treasures" walk by.

 

The greatest was the Sasquatch that was promoting the local haunted trail.

 

I think I was a human treasure in my own right.  I saw a bunch of people I knew from high school but I'm pretty sure only 1/3 of those people recognized me.  I. Looked. Horrible.

 

Picture it...no makeup (a no makeup ginger might as well be a boy), hoodie, jeans, converse, baseball cap and/or high bun.

 

After the fall festival drew to a close, we went to Cracker Barrel for lunch, perused Hobby Lobby, and then went to an afternoon showing of Finding Nemo 3D. 

 

This is what we called our "Granny Saturday." 

 

After the movie I went to visit with my oldest and dearest BFF.  We treated ourselves to fro-yo and girl talk.

 

4. I also got a tour of their new "Pool House."  The picture was taken during "production" but y'all...this thing is AMAZING! The things my BFF's husband can do with his bare hands is unreal. 

 

He built this by himself.  He also made a bar inside.  I wish I had taken a pic for all to see.  It had a nice comfy leather couch, huge flat screen, old 50's fridge, ice box, sink, full bar, pool table, and amazing vintage signs and trinkets hung all around.

 

Can't wait to attend parties in that thing.

Sunday was spent all day in my PJ's...which is the perfect end to a weekend in my opinion.
