saturday, i'm gonna whistle . . .

this rainy weather makes me want to stay home and hunker down. . . and not emerge until saturday.

which is when c & p have their first dance recital.  I. DIE.  like i seriously might.  it's to the goodship lollipop and i truly can't handle it.  assuming we all survive the show, horsey and i have a fun date planned afterward - the edward sharpe & the magnetic zeros concert.

who doesn't love the song {and concept} 'home is wherever i'm with you'?

{they have other good ones, too.  obvs}

it's actually become a bit overdone but whatevs i still worship.  if it's not enough to have it stuck in your head from every other commercial, etc. - do an etsy search for posters so you can see it written on your wall.  here a couple of my faves.

this one is framed and hanging above our bed.

love this one, too.

this one is adorbs, too.

is it wrong that i secretly wish i was going to see jorge & alexa sing?

this is one of the only cures for the post-wedding/rainy day blues.  

 goosebumps . . .obvs.

"someday, i'm gonna whistle"
i. die.

off the cuff

seeing as i'm still not recovered from the wedding, i feel like i can't do it justice with a post quite yet.  stay tuned for next week's wedding wednesday: naples edition.

and i actually need to get my act together on the mum's day gift front.  stumbled upon these beauties from wimberly inc on pinterest.  offered in so many fab color/motif combos and priced at forty-four dollars - they are the perf pressie for all the mamas in your life.  I suggest you accompany them with a sweet note . . . the puntastic possibilities are endless.

dear mom,

i'll never forget everything you've done for me.

i'm so lucky to have you for a mom.

thank you for being my anchor.

i lucked out when i got you for a mom.

you'll always bee my number 1.

sorry for all the times i was crabby.

and my personal fave. . . 

whoooooo's the best mom evah?

where the drunk things are

after hearing about the sad passing of maurice sendak this morning, my intention was to post just as soon as i found a pic from college that would help explain what the classic children's book 'where the wild things are' means to me.  

why on earth i thought i could sift through 35 years of pics to find one particular shot from 18 years ago is beyond me. 

 so now that i've spent the afternoon taking a very interesting trip down memory lane and coming up empty-handed with the photograph. . . you'll have to take my word for it.

grew up loving the brilliant 'where the wild things are' and had a big poster hanging - like this . . .
in our off-campus dwelling.  

then in a ridiculously self-indulgent manner, hanging next to it, a huge blow up photo of my two roommates and myself hanging upside down from the rafters in our apartment {obvs}

it occurs to me now that we were big a-holes/tools/idiots having this on display for all to see. . . but i guess that's what being in college is all about.

RIP maurice sendak

{and while we are at it, RIP all pictures from college}

the aftermath

lots o laughs this past weekend during our epic florida extravaganza.  you'll have to wait until wedding wednesday for the deets . .  trust me on this one, they are totes worth waiting for.

today i'll be reliant on c & p to bring the laughs. . . not quite the same dynamic as hanging at the ritz for 4 days with your besties and one gazillion cocktails.

but i'm pretty sure they know they have to bring their A game to the park . . . or mommy. might.  die. 

c, p, grab your ponchos {tg it's PPW!}  let's do this.

hold my calls

alarm is set for 4 hours from now, when my journey begins south.

not. bringing. my. laptop.

{or any of my other babies for that matter.}

laters, babes.

{totes fitty reference.  obvs will be bringing book 2 with me}

wedding wednesday: can you even handler it?

quick post today . . . because i'm running around like a cray person getting ready for our trip to naples for chelsea and chuy's weddin'
{pics from the C party.  obvs}

and as if this was the 'real' chelsea and chuy's wedding there will be lots of vodka. . .

 and TONS of happy dances.

as much as we loff and are silly and effing love to tear shiz up- i know this day is about much more than vodka and happy dances.  

so nigel. . . 

 Jen and Nigel rule!

J & M - i love you guys so much and cannot wait to celebrate YOU. 

hasta manana!

{and obvs i will not be posting poolside but promise to share the deets next week.}

desperate tuesday

i have a gazillion things to do while the wee ones are at school but this rainy weather inspired me to curl up with george and loo and do a bit of work from home . . . while watching desperate.

i'm well aware that i am one of the last peeps on the planet that watch this show and i'm not afraid to admit that i am totes sad to 'kiss them goodbye'.  {but i'm in great company- love you kate and ash}

i know it's a long shot but do you still watch? are you a bree, lynette, susan or gabi?

i worship them all, mainly gabi.  but i'd have to say i'm more of a susan  . . . mostly because she always falls.  obvs.

happy rainy tuesday!
