Fabulous Fridays!!

So last Friday I was traveling to L.A. for a few special celebrations, and therefore did not have time to put a fabulous Friday post together. So today, I will blog about those things that I wanted to highlight as fabulous last week AND those things that I think are fabulous this week. Get it? Got it? Good.

Last Week's Fabulousity:

1) My bro-in-law David graduated from UCLA business school last Friday (hence the traveling to LA). It was a super wonderful event (minus the not-so-wonderful speaker who referenced Ithaca about 45 times).

Items I contemplated bringing to the event:

• A beachball (for the crowd)
• An air horn (to use at the exact moment his name was announced)
• An outrageously colorful sign

Items I actually brought:

• A dress
• A camera

(Champagne celebration after the ceremony)

2) My best friend Cokie turned 25 last weekend. Although I didn't make it out to celebrate with her, I am glad she was surrounded by a few of the things she loves: friends, dancing and country music. Hope this year is filled with much more of those things!

This week's Fabulousity:
1) I am a celebrity gossip lover and I found an amazing article while perusing my daily gossip sites. Essentially, a 27 year old woman was almost arrested for drinking because people thought she was 16 year old pop sensation Justin Bieber. Reasons this is fabulous:

• The fact that a 27 year old WOMAN was mistaken for a 16 year old BOY. And says it happens all the time.
• The bar she was at was called "Mug and Mallet".
• The story is related to Justin Bieber. Enough said.

Check out TMZ for the original article with a picture of both the Biebs himself as well as Katie (aka almost Biebs).

That's all for now! Have a fabulous Friday!

Romance

As a new wife, I am constantly looking for fun ways to romance my hubby. Thanks to Kasey, from The Bachelorette, I don't have to look any further than 8pm on Mondays. Things Kasey taught me last night:

1) Sing the way you feel. There is no better way to express love than singing your feelings straight from the heart. (Jump to minute 1:18 for the really good stuff)

2) Prove your love in ink. What says "I will guard and protect your heart" better than a tattoo of a shield guarding a heart AND a famous bachelorette rose?

3) Channel your inner rom-com script writer. When all else fails, Kasey knows the best move is to rack your brain for your favorite rom-com line. The stand outs of the evening:

• "It's just my heart. Jump in. Stay awhile".


• (in regards to his improptu singing) "It just kind of came to me. I guess that's what you do, you inspire me".

So let's do this together folks. Use Kasey's tricks to romance away your loved ones! He got a rose last night so it MUST work!

Fabulous Fridays!

So in an effort to be a more frequent blogger than my dear husband, I am starting a tradition to blog on every Friday which will simply be titled "Fabulous Friday", and I will highlight things, people, and more that I think are just fabulous!

For my first "Fabulous Friday" post, I will be celebrating 2 fabulous people:

1. My fabulous mother, PJ (a loving nickname that she doesn't think is too wonderful but puts up with anyways, hence her fabulous-ness). She celebrated her birthday yesterday, so I would like to use the blogosphere to wish her a "Happy Birthday". I hope you feel like the little girl in this video, ready to conquer each and every day of your 52nd year.

2. The latest family graduate, my cousin, Matthew. That's right, our "baby" cousin graduated from high school today and is off to college in the fall. Congrats Matt! In honor of you and your graduation, I present the most fabulous graduation song of all time:

Okay, that is it for this Friday. Have yourself a fabulous day!
