LITERALLY

I was working on another blog post and did a quick search for a Chris Trager LITERALLY video. I decided it was so good it LITERALLY  needed it's own post.



It's particularly funny because MY boss says, literally A LOT. I may count the times he says it one day and then send him this video. That would literally be the funniest thing ever. ;)

Happy, Happy Summer

We're welcoming summer here in mid-Michigan with a cloudy day. There is rain in the forecast, but finally, it FEELS like summer and here it is! So many days really do look like this:
 

Pure Michigan, Narrated by Woody. ;)

Inspired by the beautiful Lisa Leonard, I think I'd like to do a little a SUMMER TODO List!

Swim in a GREAT LAKE. DANCE in the rain. Have backyard BONFIRES. Stay up late and listen to a THUNDERSTORM. Take more PICTURES with my love. This is just a start... I'd like to read  What are you most looking forward to this summer?

Today I Saw

Last summer I signed up to receive a postcard from Jill Wignall, the lovely lady behind Today I Saw. I seriously think this may have been one of the highlights of my summer. 

So exciting new! Sign up quick because she's doing another mailing...

"some days I see something and say to Daniel 'That would make a great Today I Saw'. So I'm taking addresses for those days when I see something great and I happen to have 10 minutes spare to draw.

If you'd like to receive a postcard please send your name..."

Get on it.

Today's the DAY!

What day you ask? Why, Fill in the Blank Friday of course!

1.   The last movie I saw was something for Hell's Half Mile programming, "en coma" disjointed. Don't mind our... disjointed... website. They say they're working on it. If you're near Bay City the first weekend of October you should stop by. Lots of films for $5 each.

2.  I want to find the motivation I usually have in the mornings to get up and clean the house. clutter, clutter, clutter.

3.  Surprises are pretty exciting. I'd like to practice giving them more and maybe then I'd receive them more too ;). 

4.  The best accessory is a genuine smile.

5.  My favorite warm drink is  coffee, black please. Tea when I'm sick. Carmel Latte when I'm looking for a splurge or big pick-me-up.

6.  My favorite cold drink is water, trying to drink more. I also enjoy the occasional bloody mary and margarita. I have a lemon grass martini in Traverse City last February. I wouldn't mind one of those. Oh, and you can't forget a good beer. This is an impossible question for me, can you tell?

7.  Currently loving my weekend: dinner last night, ribs, with some of my favorite people in the world, Friday's off and Matt's taking the afternoon off, then we head to Greek Fest tonight, tomorrow's my baby cousin's high school graduation party, then Matt's family on Sunday! Pretty good, eh?!

Now you.

sleepy kitties. i love how SPRAWLED Sam is. <3

a teenage dream

Have you seen this, via A Cup of Jo? A proposal on the Golden Gate Bridge?! 

Oh my god. 

This is my teenage dream. Actually my teenage dream was to get married on the top of the Golden Gate Bridge. Every MARSH game we played it was the location I hoped to win. And why wouldn't it be... Leo & Chris hung out there, 98degrees sang there. But seriously, it stemmed from love of the city, have I told you San Francisco was the first city I fell in love with. I was seven.

Because you might not remember... I give you 98 DEGREES - Because of You
