So the wedding is getting closer! Things are gettin crazy!
Shane and I are going to get the marriage license tomorrow morning, I have an appointment for a trial run with my hair stylist on Friday (I'll make the appointment for the rest of the girls and I on the wedding day if I like what they do), and I'm going for my first alterations on my dress on Monday!
And I had a fun day at the mall with my bridesmaid kristen today. We went to get shoes to go with her dress, she got these really pretty silver shoes... they look amazzzzzzzzzing with the dress!
I also had my makeup done at a cosmetic department in a store for the first time. It was fun! kristen wanted something from MAC cosmetics... I think it was in Macy's, and while she was deciding what to get, I noticed the woman that was helping her had awesome lipstick on... it was the color I had been searching and searching and searching for foreverrrrrrrrr. I started looking through the lipsticks to see what it could be and I found a color that looked great, I asked the woman what it was and she said "That's called Myth, it's what I'm wearing." I told her that was cool cuz I was going to say her lips looked awesome. lol. So she said she'd do my lips for me if I wanted and I said YES! ... turns out it's all about layering. I used to see directions at kohl's for how to achieve this certain look and they always said to add a gloss on top of the color and I thought it was stupid... I learned today I was wrong.
First you put on a darker lip liner but not as just the liner... cover your whole lip with it. Then blot the lighter colored lipstick on top of it and blend it in (don't just apply it all over like you normally would) and then put the gloss on top. ... my lips looked AMAZING. And what gets me is... it lasted for hours! Usually lipstick or gloss comes off if I even just talk too much, or it gets all over my teeth but not this! it's all about the layers! And it's fun cuz you can make the shade lighter or darker simply by how much of the lipstick you apply. The undertoned lipliner can either shine through and make it darker or you can apply more lipstick and the lip will look lighter!
I know that was a lot of info but I'm so excited I finally found out how to achieve the look I want with my lips!
Yay for lips! yay for wedding!
On the pretty electronic...

My newest music obsession is Lady Gaga.
She's pretty weird and her fashion sense is not exactly normal but she's quickly becoming known for her skillz as a live performer. She does a lot of dancing in her acts and never lip syncs. She may not have the best voice ever but she's impressive and entertaining and I cannot get her music out of my head. I'd love to get her cd The Fame, now available on amazon. (that was a hint to Shane. lol.)
Anyhoo, here's a link to a really odd performance. The sound is kind of weird but whatevs.
Her weirdness reminds me of Madonna. It took me off guard in a way that left me intrigued.

Transformers activate!

So Shane and I finally saw Transformers.
First of all, this movie made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Both Shane and I agree it was totally messed up. Whoever wrote it must have been on some type of drug. I have no idea how the hideous script and storyline were accepted.
Probably because the visuals were stunning and they figured the story didn't matter as long as the robots and cars were awesome and Megan Fox was hardly wearing any clothes.
Neither Shane nor I can figure out why so many people think Megan Fox is hot. She has big empty "I'm dumb" looking eyes and looks completely fake. The only thing we can figure is that people like her because she dresses like a stripper. Seriously, google search her images... there is not a single shot of her not looking like a tramp.
There was a blonde girl with a supporting role in the movie who was much more attractive and actually wore clothes. Why is no one talking about her?
I gotta say though, Shia Labuff or whatever his name is surprised me. He seem to be insanely annoying and depressed. Since Even Stevens on the Disney Channel, I have not seen that dude smile. But I think besides the amazing visuals, his character was one of the only good things in Transformers.
I hope the sequal features more of him, blondie, and special FX, and a lot less of Megan Fox and INSANELY crappy storylines.

I feel completely useless lately.
A job and a new computer would really make me feel better.
Also cupcakes.

I miss getting out. I miss warm weather and baseball games.
Yes, the Cubs are my favorite but half-price Mondays at Comiskey are the best. And I will say, The Sox have an AMAZING intro. It always gives me chills. I get the same feeling I used to get for the starting line up for the Chicago Bulls when dudes like MJ, Armstrong, Grant, and Pippen were there. It's good times.
I also miss going to concerts, just being out. I miss Switchfoot. Jon Foreman's been doing solo stuff lately and then he did this Fiction Family thing which is him and a guy from another band. Fiction Family is actually much better than Foreman's solo stuff. He had 3 good songs on his own and that was it. He tried too hard to be intense. I mean I love the guy but he's just no fun without Switchfoot.
Anyway, back to topic here... There's always a point in the midst of Winter where I start to crave summer and I feel like I will go nuts without it. This craving has begun and I just want to go out and see a game or rollerblade or even just be able to go to Wal-mart without 2 tons of winter gear on.
Also, my title for this post is awesome but sadly no one will get why. Unless Jon Foreman is reading my blog.

So I'm posting at another blog.
But this one isn't mine. A friend of mine posts there with some other peeps and I was asked to post there as well. And so I am. And you can't stop me! This now brings my blog total to 2. I only have TWO. So I don't want to hear any lip from anyone! Or there will be throttling!

Story Side:B
Ron McClelland, the bassist in Story Side:B passed away on the 18th. He was on a cruise, playing some basketball when he collapsed and died.
I really enjoy their music and am putting a song of theirs on my profile in his memory.
Press play and wait a few seconds for it to start if you're interested in hearing it.
