Ny Hearts a Stereo

I mean, for reals, how could I resist such a link up.





My job is to pick three celebrities and decide which one I would eff, which one I would want to marry, and which one I would like to...well...dispose of.  Then your job is to tell me what YOU think.

Let's take this old school.  Boy Meets World style.

I would like to think that ladies and gents of a certain age, aka my age, grew up watching this masterpiece.  Whether it was watching Eric go from a popular "good looking guy" to Plays-with-Squirrels, seeing Shawn dress like a chic, hearing Eric yell for MR. FEENY, or looking into the camera and gasping "TOPANGA"...this was my sister and I's favorite show for years.  So let's analyze some mens.

So if I HAD to pick.  Marry Cori Matthews (Ben Savage), Eff Shawn Hunter (Rider Strong), and kill Eric Matthews (Will Friedle).  Reasons?  Marry Cori Matthews?  Obviously.  The man loves a good LTR (long term relationship).  As the resident bad boy/hunk/daddy issues character on BMW, effing Shawn Hunter is a great choice.  And, living with the Feeny call?  No way.  See ya later Eric Matthews.


What do you guys think?  What would YOU do with the men of BMW?

Thanks to the lovely Michelle at The Vintage Apple and Heather at Blonde....Undercover Blonde for this great link up!

We did the Mash, We did the Monster Mash

Back at it again with the newly married Michelle from The Vintage Apple for another Wednesday link-up.

I inherhited my love for holidays from my Mother.  No matter how large or how small, my Mom has a box of decorations in the rafters of the garage that, without fail, would emerge (thanks to my Dad and a ladder) to decorate the house and get everyone in the spirit of the holidays.  Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.  I love the decorations, the candy, the parties, the costumes, and the overall spooky spirit of the season.  It also kicks off the fall and winter season which I am obsessed with (I can't help it...New England Forever).

1, 2, 3, 4...Tell Me That You Love me More

I suppose I should feel embaressed.  Maybe even ashamed.  At least I probably shouldn't be broadcasting this publically.  My friends and I will be viewing the 2-part Kim Kardashian wedding tonight. 

Now, maybe you, yourself, have viewed this programing and you are saying, "This is not so bad, you could do a lot worse things with your time."  To that I pose this question:

Did you and your friends make a pact to not view any of the installments in order to ceremoniously view the festivities back-to-back (they way God intended) while eating snacks and drinking champagne.  That's what I thought.

Now, this is not the first time I have expressed by love/fascination/interest/confusion with the Kardashians on this blog.  I am captivated, for better or for worse, with the Kardashian family.  I love their antics, I love their clothes, their layers of makeup, their middle parts, their fights, Bruce Jenner (!!), and anything else they throw at me.  I also unapologetically follow them all on twitter.

Some people got up early for the royal wedding.  Kate & Harry who?  I would much rather watch a loveless marraige unfold before my eyes on a friends coach in Venice Beach with champagne in one hand and a cracker and cheese in the other.

But if anyone asks.  We went to a bar Friday night.

 

Never Wanted Nothing More

We are in the trenches (aka the month of October and 2 months into school). So I thought a nice little link up with Neely from A Complete Waste of Makeup and Amber from Brunch with Amber was definatly in need.  May I present...

It's ok...



...that they only days I wear makeup to school are the first day, family night, and picture day.

...that I have been drinking 2 cups of coffee everyday for the past 2 weeks.

...that I am willing to drive almost 2 hours just to pick apples.

...that planning happy hours and dinners is what gets me through the week.

...that I am writing this post from my teacher's desk at school.

...that I still feel strange about the fact that we can wear jeans to work



Happy Thursday!!!

I'm Gonna Give All my Secrets Away

Cancer sucks.

Today I was saddened to hear that someone who I went to high school with, someone who was friends with my sister, whose own sister I played field hockey with for years, who touched the lives of countless people died this morning after a long and hard fight with cancer.

To see someone so young and so vibrant be taken down by such a indiscriminate and debilitating disease is crippling. It forces perspective upon you. It forces you to think. To remember. To be thankful. To fight.

It forces you to be relentless.

If one thing is to come of this is that we all need to remember to be relentless.  Relentless in our own causes.  Relentless in our own struggles.   Relentless in our care and relentless in our live.

"We must be RELENTLESS in our will to live, our faith that we will overcome, and our hope that no one will ever have to endure cancer treatment again."

Even in peace may we all stay relentless.

Like I Never Had it At All

Stumbled upon this link-up as I was creeping on blogs.

And I say creeping because I can think of no other way to describe the feeling of going to a blog, clicking your mouse around, blacking out, and ending up on a blog that you have never heard about before (love) and could never fully retrace yourself back to.

Similar things have been known to happen to me when I am on Facebook, but that's much more embarrassing and I will keep it to myself.

Let's just link up with the lovely Lisa Leonard for a little Hello Monday before I incriminate myself any further. 

 Hello to a good friend visiting Los Angeles (all be it for a short time) this week.
 Hello caramel apple lollypops...fall is here (even if it doesn't feel like it temperature wise).  
 Hello half-day on Friday which will keep me going through another tough work week.
 Hello upping the mileage in our training runs this week!  LA Marathon here we come!  
 Hello overpriced, but unbelievable sanctifying candle from Anthro.
 Hello Dunkin Donuts french vanilla coffee k-cups sent from the Motherland by the Mother.  

How did I live so long without you in my life.

 Hello beginning of the week...show me what'ca got.
