beth in show

maybe you don't watch youtube. because you're an alien or you haven't heard of it yet. that's ok. i'm here to inform you: it's safe. go at it, big boy. ... wow. that just got weird.

anyhow, since i know i'm basically writing this to amy and i could just write her an email but then it on the off chance someone else hasn't heard of the internet (i recently learned that 15% of people don't use the internet because they think it's hard or costly or don't have access to it. weird, right? i read too many random articles... on the internet...) and hasn't heard of my favorite youtubers i thought i'd share.

obviously anyone who hasn't heard of dailygrace has just been living in a hole. and if you haven't heard of her, welcome. take a shower and watch every episode possible. however, the real reason i wanted to share this was because of my new love, beth in show. i had a really hard time picking my favorite video of hers but this one is pretty high up there. along with any of her interviews (where she auditions or where she interviews awesome people like gweneth paltrow or amanda bynes.)

here goes nothing:

enjoy.

confession/rant time

i love clogs. i'm not afraid to admit it. they are fantastic shoes. they are comfy and they keep your toes warm without making you feel suffocated or trapped. i can wear clogs all day long and my feet are so happy. happy feet! they get to breathe. they can get out if they need to. happy. so why does the fashion world have such an issue with clogs? probably because when most people think of clogs they think of this or this and those, my friend, are some ugly shoes. so ugly they won't even allow me to put the picture on my blog.

while unfortunately it't not commonly accepted to wear these to work/meetings/play outside of the home, it should be. because they are fantastic.

and these are on my wishlist because who can say no when comfort meets style?

if someone gave me $160 this is how i'd spend it

these shoes are the things dreams are made of. i'm pretty sure i've had dreams about these shoes. maybe they are a product of my dreams. who knows. it's possible madewell has links in my brain. then again maybe i'm just watching too many sci-fi shows.

also, erik woke up this morning asked me to promise that if we were ever to rob a convenience store that i wouldn't leave him behind. i told him i couldn't make that promise.

c/o pip and sydney

and counting...

this weekend marked the beginning of the end for me. well, beginning of my crazy weekends until probably the end of october with maybe one weekend breather. the beginning is marked with my first wedding i attended solo. i have to say, i thought going to a wedding solo would be a drag but maybe my dad makes everything more fun. would it be weird to invite my dad as my date to all weddings? probably. plus my mom would get jealous. she has moves too. on the dance floor. my moves landed her with an elbow to the face. have i mentioned that i'm an excellent dancer? i am. i can do the robot like no body's business.

my facebook feed has been splatted with pictures from the evening. thankfully none capture me in full dance fantastics...yet.

this is a picture of the two three years ago at my wedding.

this is them at their wedding.
 (the best picture i could find.)

this is me at their wedding.
 

apparently i'm confused. or in deep thought about what eric is saying.
"let me tell you about married life, eric..." is definitely not what i'm saying.

this is the dancing king.

 the bearded one. the other is the running king. he ran 6 miles before the wedding. i heard he also ate as many donuts.

this is me having an intelligent conversation with my aunt, barbara.

 just kidding.

this is what happens when you try to get all my mom's family together..

 and this wasn't even the picture where we forgot that the camera was on a timer..
this is what happens if you try to date me.

*all pictures stolen from marta. cause she's much better than i am and did not forget her camera at home.

yup.

several things that are making me do a happy dance today

one: has anyone else seen the shoes that are on sole society?? it's like they took all my dream shoes and put them on one website and dared me not to buy them all. how did they do that? if i wasn't so broke from my non-spending month i'd be broke for other reasons.

for those of you keeping track, i will take these:
 and these:


it amuses me because last night erik and i had our three year anniversary during which i gave him the leather watch i'd purchased when i wasn't supposed to and i told him about how three year anniversarys - you're supposed to give leather products. to which he replied, is that why you were showing me all those leather shoes the other day? it hadn't even occurred to me. no, honey. i'm just obsessed with shoes.

two: my lovely husband. our anniversary was pretty much a wonderful day of excitement and love. i love him. mushy mush mush mush. (will probably discuss later.)

three: work today. (i know. surprising, right?) but here's the thing: a) i got to wear jeans because the boss man is out. b) i believe that the reason that the boss man is out has resulted in closing one of our pretty big cases which is awesome. c) if this case is closed that's the second greatest case closing of the week. and D!!) i OFFICIALLY got my approval to be a notary today!! now all i need is my stamp. wuuuddup?!?
