can you be a part of my life?

before i fall in "like," at the beginning of a smidge of a crush, i wonder many things.

like...

what does he eat for breakfast?
does he take vitamins?
what is happiest memory?
what did his mom call him when he was small?
does he brush his teeth first thing in the morning and before breakfast (like i do)?
what is his favorite song? color? book? ice cream flavor?
what side of the bed does he prefer?


you know... little things.
i become fascinated.

i wonder if he wonders the same thing about me....

round. round. get around. i get around!

fact:
1. drummers are hot.

2. guitarists are hot.

3. stamos drumming, singing, & playing guitar?

have mercy!

johnny invited us to see him jam with the beach boys at the jersey shoah.
round-round-get around-i-get-around!

there's something so amazing about hearing live music that you know by heart.
comfort.

the whole group including the pilcz family

thanks, johnny boy!
i had the BEST time!

{ special thanks to the pilcz fam for the diggie pix }

you're bugged with me, i know....

i have so many things to blog about, i get overwhelmed...
my pics are blurry and that frustrates me......

and i have about 5 min to download before i hit the hay....

so i watch chelsea lately and leave cheap posts.....

but i feel like i'm connecting with you via twitter--my new obsession......

.....so don't stop being my friend... ok?

nugget aces science class

while i was too squeamish to disect frogs, nugget clearly has no problem....

poor froggie.

new toy torn apart in only 10 min.

so sleepiness....

{ to whet your appetite: behold. johnny & mike love- he's looking @ the blurry iphone... where's my camera?! }

my darlings,
i'd love nothing more than to update you on all things mim...
but i'm wiped out from

1. singing onstage and hanging backstage with stamos and the beach boys

2. learning "spanish rose"--oooh my feet hurt!

3. traipsing around the bowery till all hours.

4. celebrating DD's bday @ the standard

that was just the last 3 days........
and other fabulous adventures......

soon.... soon.....

shabby fit to flatter

i'm a quiz girl....
used to love taking those cheeseball quizzes in seventeen that told me if my
guy was "into me" or not....
let me tell you this... if you have to take a quiz about it.... he's JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU!

well, leave it to the divas at shabby apple to do a quiz about your body type then point you in the right direction to flatter your every curve.
brilliant.


i'm an hourglass... duh.
and believe it or not, there were dresses on the menu i don't yet have!

and can i tell you a secret?

shabby apple is custom designing a killer dress for me to wear to
bye bye birdie's opening night!
can't wait to show you. it'll be divine.

"how do you like them apples, mr peterson?!"

LISTEN TO LINDSEY

subway bestie, lindsey, has a few ideas for mormon parents (do i smell a weekly column?)

*note: these are completely unstaged pictures.... she just happened upon these two iconic shots on her way home.
a good way to show mormon children the evils of alcohol:

i love that woman. she cracks me up.

another coordinating movie night...

audra, lala, and mim--like our eye makeup free faces? lots of tears.

DIFFERENT pink dress.
both shabby apple, natch.

another pack of girlfriends who accidentally
matched to see and sob thru the time travelers wife.

this is getting strange.....

a very stamos birthday

the incomparable bill irwin
(if you don't know who he is, youtube & google him. the man is a genius)
gave a special clown performance for our birthday boy complete with a pie in the face.

j returned the favor...

and both made special clown exits.

later.... at the birthday party,

husband with ursela (always our child), hugo + herman

bobby and the beautiful ladies

birdie family

baby birdies

& the birthday boy and his mom.

happy happy birthday birthday!

happy birthday

stellie girl
{ who turns 2 today -GREASE's 2 yr anniversary is ALSO today }
you're the greatest!
&

johnny boy!

{ who is older than stellie nugget }

you're the coolest!

leos are lovely!

3 friends take a trip to the island of coney

where we ate famous nathan's corndogs

refrained from seeing the freak show...

but paid a whole dollar to say hi to a sweet tiny haitian woman then got totally sick about it...

received grandma's predictions (and pretended it was ZOLTAR from BIG)

fa-reaked out on that scary moving ferris wheel.
terrifying!

but enjoyed the view....

we squirted clowns

won us some sick prizes.

cookie monster and i danced in front of my cha cha's sign

and relished in the soft serve.

we rehydrated with coconut water

and enjoyed people watching on the boardwalk.

ahh.... what a day!

could somebody please explain to me

1. why feminine hygiene products don't have SIZES on them
(what i'm supposed to memorize by color?
are we really trying to disguise the tampon? like a boy won't know what it is
because it doesn't say SUPER on it?)?

2. why pearl tampons inflate in the shape of a bat?

do you wonder the same things?

sublet sarah's gorgeous apartment!

september 11-october 12
{ dates negotiable }

see the deets { here }

you'd be SO lucky to stay there. gorgeous.

the great natasha makes a catch

my darlings, until the great svetlana emails photos of tonight's grand trapezing adventure,
enjoy my brilliant catch!

every woman should be caught by a shirtless man......

here is my first try...
wish i had pointed my feet more....

i hear she's completely amazing!

mad about mad men!

is your tivo set ?

my favorite tv show, mad men, is returning on sunday night!

this shoot by annie leibovitz is completely stunning.

i LOVE that i get to live in the 60's for my job, too!

i'm daisy, she's violet. we're siamese twins!

yeah...it's totally normal for two girlfriends to wear
pink dresses,
over sized grey cardigans
and turquoise sandals on the same day......(completely unplanned)
to the movies.

after CHANGING their previously not-planned identical outfits from their
earlier bloomies date.

totally normal.
clearly we share a brain.
