Can’t! Form! Cohesive thoughts! Time for a bulleted post:
- It’s our anniversary on Sunday! We will have been married five years, which, hi. WHERE DOES THE TIME GO? But first! Do you know where I’m going before J & Metalia’s Fun-Filled Anniversary Night on the Town? For Mother’s Day (TWO MOTHER’S DAYS AGO, MIND YOU), J got me a gift certificate to a fancypants spa. Massage, facial, mani/pedi…in short, a (half) day of heaven. Somehow, 1.5 years have whooshed by, and hi, the gift certificate expires next month. Since my parents are already taking the kids for the day on Sunday, I shall be spending the morning getting buffed, polished, and having the tension rubbed out of my back by a woman I imagine will be aggressively burly, and potentially named Svetlana.
- After this, I will be spending my anniversary afternoon and evening with (duh) my husband. To celebrate our five (FIVE! OH MY GOD, FIVE!) years of marriage, we’ll be seeing this play (which, if I watched 90210: The New Class of the College Years 2.0 Electric Boogaloo, I would tell you that said play figures prominently in certain episodes of the show. But I totally don’t watch that show, so, whatever), going out to dinner, and staying at this hotel.
- I cannot get the following songs out of my head: Ray Lamontagne’s “Burn in My Skin,” Bon Iver’s Skinny Love,”…and Rihanna’s “Disturbia.” There is something deeply wrong with this picture. Or at least the last song on the list.
- Yay, McKey! Boo, Tyra’s sense of fashion, most notably the crazy-cyborg-alien-commander-slash-Melanie-Griffith-in-Working-Girl-hybrid dress worn in the last scene!
- There's going to be an ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT MOVIE? Did I hear that right?
- Speaking of which, what would it say about me if I told you that my tickets for Twilight have already been preordered? Hypothetically speaking, of course.
- Today, I was pondering just how awesomely awesome it would be to have a bikini waxer who made house calls. And then I realized Bikini Wax House Calls could very easily be the name of a late-night Cinemax movie that is already in existence. And if it's not, well really, someone should get on that.
- I wrote a post for BeautyHacks earlier this week, discussing my patented five minute morning hair and makeup routine. Why does this deserve its own bullet? BECAUSE IT INCLUDES VIDEO, PEOPLE. VIDEO OF ME, APPLYING MAKEUP AND DOING MY HAIR. (In under five minutes of course.) So, if you’d like to learn about a fast morning makeup routine, and/or see what I look like, on video (first thing in the morning, no less), then really, this is the post for you.
- I’ve been searching high and low for The Perfect Dress for my little brother’s engagement party in January. I haven’t found it yet, but I know you people are very good at helping me with, well, anything I’ve thrown at you to date, so: I’m trying to find a fancy-ish, knee-length dress. My only requirement is that it must have sleeves of some sort (even if they’re cap sleeves), and that it not be black (I have too many such dresses already). Any suggestions?

I have my Twilight ticket already, too, so I'm in no position to judge on that.
And FIVE YEARS? How is that even possible? It's like you got married in high school, my dear.
will it make you feel better if i tell you that i went to see Twilight last night? ;)
I also have Twilight tickets early!
I bought my Twilight tickets online yesterday. For a show on Sunday. Because I'm convinced it will be sold out and we must get there 2 hours early to GET A GOOD SEAT!
I'm so envious of your Sunday! Enjoy it! And happy early anniversary!
For knee length dresses with sleeves, I hit up Shabby Apple. It's affordable, too! (Happy Anniversary, BTW!)

I LOVE this one: http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/dresses/solidstextures/PRDOVR~99504/99504.jsp
cap sleeves, great January fabric, and gorgeous non-black colors. I think this would become a closet staple.
I also love this, by the way, but I don't own any staples at that price.

Happy! anniversary, babe. And holy CUTE site design. I know I'm probably endlessly late with saying so, but I LOVE it.
And hi, I totally saw a midnight showing of Twilight last night and already posted my (non-spoilery) thoughts on the movie on my site today. I am embracing in my inner 14 year old this year.
I really love the look of this dress, and it is pretty modest and cheap too!

Happy Anniversary!
Here is to fifty more :)
Ack! Spoiler! I don't get to watch ANTM until the weekend repeat.
How about this dress? http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/dresses/solidstextures/PRDOVR~99504/99504.jsp
Happy anniversary! You both look so cute (and insanely young) in your wedding picture. Be sure to tell your facialist that you plan to go out later that night so she doesn't squeeze the hell out of your face. You don't want to have to remember your fifth anniversary as The Night You Were All Blotchy.
I'm laughing at the strange searchers who will come across this post looking for "at home bikini waxing" and be disappointed. snicker. Go away, people, unless you have the great dress!
Spring Awakening is just...mind blowing. And a little depressing - but you will love it.
And McKey? Really?? You don't think she was a bit mannish? My vote was for Annaleigh. (And yeah, I don't know what Tyra was thinking with that dress.)
Happy Anniversary! Here's to another 5! or 50.
OhmahGOD woman!!! DREAM DATE!!
And thank the Lord that you pin-pointed Tyra's dress sense for me. It's been bugging the hell out of my brain--I was thinking cyborg, but I was missing the Working Girl. Yes!!!
Since I finally just watched the ANTM finale, seriously! What was up with Tyra's outfit. Cyborg is the perfect description.
