go: blues fest
blues fest is awesome. it’s especially great to go at night when the heat is gone.
this year we went with brit and whit and enjoyed hanging out on the grass and listening to good music, eating some good food, and having some laughs!
great friends are so rare and wonderful.

wedding conversation
brian: can i ask you a serious question about your wedding?
me: sure
brian: so i’m really thinking about growing my hair out so i can dye it purple and shave it into a mohawk. is that ok? it will match the wedding colors.
me: sure…. sounds great.
brian: ok and also, do you want me to buy a new nose ring so it can match my mohawk? i was going to buy a nice purple one.
me: ummm…. whatever you want to do, brian.
brian: well it’s your wedding so it’s up to you.
me: maybe you can hide it during the ceremony and wear it during the photos and reception….?
brian: ok perfect. that’s awesome.
me: maybe you should check with mom, just in case she has other opinions about how the wedding pictures should look.
(what i’m thinking: do all brides get these types of questions by the groomsmen?! i hope my mom strongly recommends there be no mohawks and nose rings at my wedding…)

conversations with tim
every once in a while i tell a coworker a story or just simply remember a conversation that makes me smile. usually it didn’t make me smile at the time, but in retrospect – cracks me the (fuck) up. i think i should start sharing these.
tim: family feud tryouts are coming to chicago! it’d be awesome to try out!
lisa: no, we have way too much going on right now (goes on to remind tim of wedding, dog-to-be, engagement, car buying, moving, vacations, random obligations…) and we don’t have time for game show tryouts.
tim: …silence…
four hours later
tim: i signed up for family feud! the thing is – you can’t be on it with us, because you aren’t family yet. fiances don’t count.
lisa: …silence… (not happy that tim signed up for a game show without discussing it with me further)
tim: but then i thought, we could just go to the courthouse this week and get married legally, and then you can tryout with my family!
lisa: we are not getting married just so i can tryout for family feud with you! that’s ridiculous! especially since our wedding isn’t until november!
tim: oh. so that’s a no?

obsessed with this song and specifically, this cover.
(and you probably will be, too)
this song has replaced adele in my what-i-listen-to-when-i’m-annoyed song queue.

things my friends say
my very-lovely boyfriend asks some of the most random questions when looking at potential apartments.
my personal favorite, “can netflix dvds fit in the mailbox without being jammed in or bent?” (the person showing us the apartment actually opened up the mailbox for him so he could be assured dvds would not, in fact, get bent.)
the random part about this is – WE DON’T SUBSCRIBE TO NETFLIX!
he makes me smile.
happy thoughts
