21

You know those uber romantic love scenes in fabulously girly, emotional movies?

The ones where the lovers are wrapped in sheets and the rain is falling outside the window...

Where they spend all day in bed laughing, loving, learning about each other...

The ones that make your heart melt and you think that that's surely what real love is like...

That if you're really in love, every moment should feel like that...

(Until you become an adult and learn its far more complex but equally as beautiful)

Like scenes from any of these movies:

The loves that are intense, flawed, unique and completely overwhelming.

OK, so the point of this whole thing is that I found the soundtrack that fits that quirky love I've been describing for 3 days....

It's Adele's 21.

For real.

I have listened to it three or four times today and I just can't stop.

And I feel hopelessly romantic.

(Sigh)



Babysitting

I had the amazing opportunity to babysit Averielle for the first time last night.

Adrienne had finals and I threatened to knock people out if they thought they would take the opportunity to spend time with that little nuggette away from me!

So needless to say, I won! :)

Rupert did really well with her and wanted to hold her and touch her the whole time.

It was super sweet.

He didn't try to hit her or do anything violent once!

(I know that sounds awful, but I didn't know if he'd grasp her fragility)

I also ran the battery in my cell down by taking 80 million pictures.

I just couldn't help it.

They were so outrageously cute together!!

The Brian Reid smile has been handed down to yet another generation :)

After 10 or 15 minutes of doting on Averielle, Rupert decided he wanted to go outside and play with a giant stick.

And bang it on the house.

That's my boy!



Ben Folds Gets Sleazy

I have to admit that I love this song anyway, I rock it out and am not ashamed.

Judge if you will, but Ke$ha (yes I spelled her name "properly") made a great dance album.

Anyway, I saw this on Perez and just had to share because it's GRAND!!

Blonde Ambition

New Music

My husband is so good to me!

I begged for him to get some new music for me and have emailed him massive lists, probably three or four times.

Last night he gave me six cds that I have been dying to hear!

So hear is my current musical selection:

Really surprised at how much I like this

LOVED THIS ONE

Good fun

Gotta love her Minajesty!

Let's not forget that tomorrow is also the release of Gaga's new video, Judas!

Oh-oh-oh-ohoo

I'm in love with Juda-as, Juda-as

Oh-oh-oh-ohoo

I'm in love with Juda-as, Juda-as

Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas GaGa

Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas GaGa

      When he comes to me, I am ready

I'll wash his feet with my hair if he needs

Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain

Even after three times, he betrays me I'll bring him down, bring him down, down

A king with no crown, king with no crown

I'm just a Holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel

But I'm still in love with Judas, baby

I'm just a Holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel

But I'm still in love with Judas, baby

Oh-oh-oh-ohoo

I'm in love with Juda-as, Juda-as

Oh-oh-oh-ohoo

I'm in love with Juda-as, Juda-as

Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas GaGa

      I couldn't love a man so purely

Even darkness forgave his crooked way

I've learned love is like a brick, you can

Build a house or sink a dead body

I'll bring him down, bring him down, down

A king with no crown, king with no crown
 

I'm just a Holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel

But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
I'm just a Holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel

But I'm still in love with Judas, baby

Oh-oh-oh-ohoo I'm in love with Juda-as, Juda-as

Oh-oh-oh-ohoo I'm in love with Juda-as, Juda-as

EW
   

In the most Biblical sense,

I am beyond repentance

Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind

But in the cultural sense

I just speak in future tense

Judas kiss me if offensed,

Or wear ear condom next time

I wanna love you,

But something's pulling me away from you

Jesus is my virtue, J

udas is the demon I cling to

I cling to
   

I'm just a Holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel

But I'm still in love with Judas, baby

I'm just a Holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel

But I'm still in love with Judas, baby

Oh-oh-oh-ohoo

I'm in love with Juda-as, Juda-as

Oh-oh-oh-ohoo

I'm in love with Juda-as, Juda-as

Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas GAGA

Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas GAGA
 

Cry Baby

I am yet to find out if it was just me, but I cried four times during last night's Glee.

I am not pregnant, or I'm not aware if I'm pregnant AND sweet Mary mother of god, I sure as heck hope I'm not pregnant... I shouldn't be! We use protection!

ANYWAY! My first cry was for the new itgetsbetter.org commercial.

Google Chrome sponsored the commercial and it opened with headlines on teen suicide, then clips of the adults and advocates telling their story.

These are always touching.
I can't imagine these kids struggles and it breaks my heart to think about what they have to go through, their internal struggle, etc.

I did OK, just a few tears until I saw this...

Then the waterworks really started.

I can't imagine anything more inspiring then these older people, people old enough to be our grandparents, who had no one to look up to. There was no mainstream media discussing homosexuality, let alone supporting it!

So yeah, that was truly inspiring and I highly recommend that everyone go to www.itgetsbetter.org and pledge to make a difference, share a story, show support in some faction to these kids.

Next up, Santana once again confessing her love to Britney through song.

It was Fleetwood Mac night, so she chose to sing "Songbird."

I cried! Oh did I cry!

Once again, her struggle. She's in love with her best friend and she wants to be with her but she's so afraid of what will happen to her reputation and how she'll be treated, that she's staying in the closet.

(Insert sad sobs here)

Then you found out that Sam's family lost their house and are living out of a local motel. His mom, dad, brother, sister and himself in one little room at a dingy motel.

Rachel and Finn went there and surprised Sam with his guitar that he had pawned for money for his family. Guess what I did... go ahead, guess. Yep. I cried.

Then the closing song of the episode was the entire Glee club performing "Don't Stop, Thinking About Tomorrow"

So yeah, I cried again.

It was just touching.

His little siblings were on stage with them and it was such a renewal of hope and a show of support.

I'm a baby, I know.

But I couldn't help it dammit!

The show had plenty of super funny moments as well.

Fondue For Two with Britney, definitely made my week.

Kristin Chenoweth is a goddess and I loved seeing her with Matthew Morrison again.

So it's not like I cried the whole episode, I laughed alot.

Let me ask this of you though... if you saw last night's episode and especially if you're a cryer, please let me know if you found yourself crying too.



Royal Hats

On Friday, to celebrate the Royal Wedding across the pond, my boss asked me to make some snazzy hats so that we could be fabulous and chic like the Brits.

Little did she know that I have the artistic talent of a kindergartner!

I have ideas, I always have ideas... its just the execution that's horrible!

They were made from that teacher border stuff for bulletin boards, a random plant from an office that's not in use, styrofoam cups, swizzle sticks, hardcore tape, coffee filters, markers, a stapler and ribbon.

Anyhoo, here are a couple pics from that day.

Enjoy!
