The Georgia Satellites- Keep Your Hands to Yourself
So,when I was a little girl, my dad used to sing this song to me, and he would say “Remember that. No huggy, no kissy til you get a wedding ring.” I finally picked a father-daughter dance song (I think). But there’s still a LARGE part of me that would love to do this song because it’s such a huge reminder of my dad. And also the irony of the fact that I clearly ignored that piece of advice, given that Spence and I have lived together for 3 years.
Good lord, how do people run in the Florida summer humidity. My running has actually gotten worse over the last few weeks. It’s a bit discouraging.
The fans and lanterns for the wedding have come in! Yay for fans and not having all of the guests die of heatstroke.
MinutePhysics is one of my favorite YouTube channels right now.
This is really, really great.
My sister’s baby shower is “Red Fish, Blue Fish” themed. Hope she likes these mini-cupcakes.
Life plans
I just want an eight to five job that pays 2+ dollars more an hour than I make right now. These are my current life dreams. Even if it’s a boring job, at least Spence and I could have the same schedule. I could have supper at home. Maybe even cook! (I’ve been eating a lot of salad lately to avoid cooking. Not good salad, though. Just spinach, tomatoes, and cucumber.)
But in good news, I got to see some friends I never see yesterday, so I guess the occasional midweek day off isn’t all bad.
Finally a good buzzfeed article!
good day
Today I did laundry, had a smoothie, remembered to take my vitamins, got a message on Facebook from someone about returning a Kindle I lost over a year ago, and Spence and I got our marriage license.
The world is a good place. I am so happy with my life.
I cannot believe that nobody has gif’d Zelda Rubinstein saying “This house is clean”. I need that gif right now because I just super deep cleaned my house! (I even dusted!) And also, Zelda Rubinstein was an excellent underrated actress. One of my favorites as a kid because of Teen Witch and Poltergeist. If one of you knows where I can find this gif, point me in the right direction.
Cream soda and Freaks and Geeks! Because I. DON’T. HAVE. HOMEWORK. Spence and I are just hanging out and it is awesome!
Happy Mother’s Day!
And, you know, happy very first Mother’s Day to my adorable sister. And here’s hoping baby Danger waits until after the wedding to make his appearance.
My mom is the best woman to ever live.
Terri and Kel.
These people are the greatest!It’s weird how music can bring you back to a situation or emotion with such intensity. Maybe it’s not this way for everyone. I don’t know. Until I met Spence, I lived out of my car, a habit I picked up as a child of divorce who switched houses weekly. I drove 4 or 5 hours a week at that point. I was in college 2 hours from him, and I drove to see him every weekend. Even in high school, though, I drove a lot. I lived far from everything. And in the car, I listened to music. Loudly. Because I was never single, so much of this is tied to the various boys I was seeing/dating/self-destructing with.
I don’t know. It’s just a weird feeling when you hear something and you immediately think of people and places and feelings you hadn’t thought about in ages. I think mostly I’m just a sucker for nostalgia. And summer always contains some packed emotions because, you know, I’ve been a student since I was 4 or something, and summer is when EVERYTHING cool happened. The rest of my life is summer now, I guess.
So, Nervous Systems, the band I play bass in, is playing at the Backyard later this month with Cassolette and Half Undressed. Always great to play with friends. It’s nice to have another show coming up too. We’ve all been so busy, we haven’t played one since the tour with Gold-Bears. I’ll post more details (time, etc) when I find out. If you’re in/around Gainesville, you should totally stop by! :)
May 23rd, guys. Come out.
