okay, so i know it's not current obsessions wednesday, but i am officially addicted to...
1. Bones (a day has not gone by that i have not watched one episode - and i wan the ringtone for my phone like um, now)
2. easter candy (inhaling the gigantic bags of sweettarts and sour starburst jelly beans)
4. the knee-high tights look (whoever said not to wear socks with sandals?)
5. these random stupid videos but i cry laughing at their randomness
(especially this one and this one - if you watch them, don't say i didn't warn you)
and folks, did you notice, it's the weekend!
and folks, did you notice, it's the weekend!
are you doing the happy dance with me?
i'm looking forward to checking out our local library's book sale and then headed out with the family to see the Blue Angels fly at the base Air Show. i used to go as a little girl with my family so i'm totally looking forward to it! what do you have planned this weekend? (and did you stay up all night or get up early to watch the Royal Wedding? as i type this, i haven't decided yet. we'll see if my body will wake up first...)
and oh, got a few things to celebrate..
