political times can lead you to hate facebook/twitter/people...
i've been listening to a lot of the civil wars and nickel creek lately...so, if anyone wants me for their bluegrass band, i'm in. i can sing, but i have no other instrumental talents.
It's been a busy few days....Hunger Games midnight opener - awesome, Andrews-Morrison Wedding - directed, quick trip to washington/augusta - check. So, yeah, i'm taking advantage of my spring break.
However, there is no spring break from music, so here's to some jams that i'm into today:
5 - Lil Wayne and Robin Thicke - Pretty Lil Heart
So, I'm an old lady and don't jam on this sort of thing too much, but i LOVE this song. I know it's already wildly popular, but I had to post it in case you don't know it yet. Get to know it. It is sexy.
4 - Taylor Swift & The Civil Wars - Safe & Sound
3 - Arcade Fire - Abraham's Daughter
I can't include this video, but here's a link to the song with a montage of movie scenes:
This is the song from the credits, and it really captures the mood of the movie. Also, it is one of my new jams.
I'm not going to put up anything else from the soundtrack, but just know that it's a good one.
2 - Dire Straits - Romeo & Juliet
So, there's more soundtrack magic even without The Hunger Games. While in Washington, I got to rewatch my favorite movie, Empire Records, and I was thinking about how awesome its soundtrack is. Here's one of the hits!
1 - Justin Bieber - Boyfriend
So, I'm not really into this one, but it's kind of a big deal. I think listening to it is kinda sexually predatory. He's a child.
Swag, indeed....go see hunger games, let me know what's good on the music horizon, and cheers!
So, as I'm getting into being more pregnant, I'm kind of exploring some looks I like in maternity clothes. Here are my thoughts.
5 - skinny pants -
There's nothing more flattering, especially if you're wanting to show that that's a bump and not all over weight gain. I'm hoping they still look flattering as I keep growing!
4 - horizontal stripes -
This is the only time that horizontal stripes are celebrated because you should be growing, so why not show it off some?
3 - maxi skirts and dresses -
They look good and feel good, what could be better?
2 - lightweight and wrap dresses -
As the temps go up, I'm sure I'll be spending much more time in dresses bc they're lightweight. I look for anything lightweight for day wear, but wrap dresses particularly transition well from casual to more dressy events.
1 - use what you have -
jewelry is key to dressing up or down maternity outfits to get your wear out of them. plus, what's better than accessorizing? also, your old cardigans might not close now, but you can certainly keep using them with a fitted tank or maternity tank.
Do you have any more ideas about essentials for dressing with a baby on board? Please let me know! Until next time, cheers!
Here are a few things that intrigued/perplexed me today...
5 - I was alerted today that the "singers" on American Idol were singing songs from their birth year. One of these singers chose a song from No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom, No Doubt to be specific. I'm old.
4. It's getting warmer and that makes me happy. My allergies/sinuses don't necessarily agree.
3. Muffins are awesome.
2. This song came on the radio today, and I was delighted:
1. We're having a little boy!! Choosing a name is a really hard task though. Ideas are encouraged.
