gophers

i love college football. like to a level that it's almost a disorder. or like i'm a boy. the excitement of going to the gopher football game (my first of the season due to my faboosh trip) compounded with the excitement of the tailgate before was almost too much. don't worry, friends, i survived to tell about it. my beloved gophers even held on for a victory, despite their best attempts to lose the game in the last 2 minutes! even better!! sadly i won't be able to see a game in person for a few weeks now (stupid work!) but i'm already looking forward to the next gameday!

recap

whew! i made it home. i'm sure you were all worried since you hadn't heard from me yet. i mean, it is very legitimate that i would fall into the street & get run over my a crazy cab or get stolen in chinatown. rest assured, none of those things happened. a few other things did happen though. i discovered the most delicious bakery.

magnolia street bakery has some of the most delishy cupcakes i have ever had. that is saying alot too because i deeply enjoy the little confections. these had a yummy buttercream frosting - perfectly frosted as you can see (ignore the finger swipe...) & melted in your mouth as you shoved them into your face. not that i would do that...

i learned that it is possible that curtains, wallpaper & headboards can be made of entirely the same fabric. who knew?!

 champagne does indeed come in a can & is incredibly delicious. it's like a juice box for grown ups! it is also amazing.

yes, i will get squashed into the corner of a jimmy choo store that has glittery shoes. clearly that was not an issue for me.

i also met my gay husband. i have to admit there is something about having a beautiful gay man shower you with compliments. it's pretty much the best thing ever. then to have 2 gay men dress me up like a doll...sold! i wish this could be my life all the time. tragically, it is not.

i also feel in love. yes...me! it was amazing. so amazing that i needed to bring the love of my life back with me. please meet my future...

isn't is gorgeous?! i couldn't say no so this lovely skirt is now the object of my affection. who has an occasion where this is appropriate? really? nobody? ok, well, you keep me posted. otherwise i might wear it to the beer mile. just sayin...

bye work & small town life! see you when i get back (if i come back)!

life is short.

i'm really good at laughing uncontrollably. in case you hadn't noticed.

er, actually i think it's from running so much. i give mad props to those that like to put in the miles. this morning i woke up wondering "hm, i wonder what it feels like to run 10 miles? only 1 way to find out..." why i woke up wondering that i am stil trying to figure out.


ok so i didn't actually find out what 10 miles feels like but i found out about 8. i don't think i'll be doing that ever again. at least now i can eat my waffle on a stick and key lime pie on a stick guilt-free.

things we all do

this is the definition of fear.

don't pretend you haven't done this at least once in your life.

this seems to always happen when a certain brother is around...

last but not least...

...or if people could actually hear the music that is playing in my head. that would be accepted as well.
thanks to the all people that are not afraid to submit the things we all do.

what's up
