Oscars 2011

ok, so although I am not super celebrity savvy and have not been since I stopped wasting money on tabloid magz from the grocery line, I still watch the Oscars and usually only to see the beautiful gowns (In my opinion, the Oscars have not had a funny host in years, is just an excuse for celebs to kiss each others asses all night, and are far too political for my taste.. but I still watch them, why am I so drawn to the little windows of the lives of the beautiful people?I love fashion, it's pathetic really) but on that note here are my top picks for stunning dresses on the red carpet and had this been an event to judge their style, and not their acting in movies from 2010 these three ladies would have won as ranked on my list...

3rd place

Michelle Williams:

2nd place (this one was a little more tricky for me bc both of these dresses are beautiful and ironically similar colors)

Cate Blanchett:

and 1st place goes to ...

Mila Kunis:

lovely little sparrow

I like my house to be clean, but ironically I HATE to be told to clean my house, and although I wasn't "told" per se to clean my house, I still feel the need when someone comes over (no matter who it is, a homeless stinky could come to my home and I would still feel I had to straighten up) to clean. where is this going you may ask? well, I will tell you, THIS apartment complex conducts more "home inspections" than any place on the planet, we have been visited by the apartment managers 3 times already this year and it is only February, that's INSANE! I just don't get it, our apartment is always nice and sparkly when they come to inspect and yet they never stop coming. So to pass the time while cleaning, I like to play my music and sing to my dogs... I know kind crazy (trust me they agree) because when I sing along to the song lyrics and even try to dance them out the dogs look at me quizzically like I'm a fool... which I am, but it is fun you should try it!

happy cleaning.

p.s this video is so cute, reminds me of Faye! I love bull doggers!

Beneath the dance hall lights you seem a girl so south

So in 3 weeks, away I go ... for a week, but a week is better than nothing when it comes to visiting my family!

I am so ready to see my parents and my grandparents, it has been way too long for my liking. Although I am not one of those people who hate flying (because I don't) I do however not like traveling long distances in general, I hate worrying I forgot something and I hate worrying about my doggers but that being said I am still excited to go back to NC and see the fam damily.

We'll start our trip in the Charlotte area, visit Darin's family my grandparents and hopefully some friends. Then we will head to the coast of NC and visit my parents at the beach, then head back to Charlotte so we can fly back to Utah land.

All travel fretting aside, I am still counting the days until I can hug my parents!

my home away from home

Bye Bye kitty

so, today kitty left us! I was definitely not ready for another pet (since i have 2 dogs as it is) but it was sad letting the little guy go. I am super pumped he found a good and loving home and I think he will adjust OK, I just hope everything goes well. He was a sweet little dude and I'll miss him hangin' around.

Steelers vs Green Bay

Not a fan of either team... BUT if I must choose, my choice team will be ....

Please let the commercials be good this year!

Babies, Babies, BABIES! Everyone is having babies, it's all you ever hear about... People having babies, people wanting babies, people getting pregnant with babies, and people complaining when they can't get pregnant with babies! Although this topic is sometimes annoying for me and hard for me to understand considering I do not have babies and up until this year have really had no desire for babies any time soon, I get rather excited when people have these wiggly little creatures that are so foreign to me. My sister in law whom I love dearly just had TWO of these, a little boy and a little girl, Nathan and Eleanor and they are some cute little monkeys let me tell you. I can't wait till my own sister has one (I'm not giving up hope on her).I guess being a woman the maternal instinct and the desire for children hits you at some point or another, I guess that's why babies are the topic of everything at this stage in life ... but I'll let you in on a little secret that I don't particularly want to admit just yet ... I don't seem to mind .

Besides my initial reaction to think all babies look like little old men/aliens, I also like to try to figure out who they most resemble (mommy or daddy, or if I know the extended family members if they resemble one of them more), So I will attempt to do so here and give my opinion as to who these little ones look like as far as these pictures go. The picture directly bellow is Nathan, and from the angle this photo is take (because I have not seen him in person) I think he resembles his aunt Jessica!

And here, we have Eleanor, who I think STRONGLY resembles her adorable big sister Susie!

But of course, you really don't know who a baby looks like until they get a little bigger and develop their cute little personalities!

Welcome to the world cute little rice babies.
