Monday Miscellany
{one} I had so much stinkin' fun with Ms. Sandy a la Mode last week. Since it was her first time in Nashville - I decided to take her honky tonking. Sandy, wish you lived here -- I know we would be real life bff. This was my first blogger meet up & I loved it! I so hope to get to meet more of my blogger buddies!
...Sandy & I did some good Nashville style line dancing at the Wild Horse Saloon & then took a little stroll down Broadway...
{two} Has anyone seen Remember Me? While I was watching it, I thought to myself, "Self, this might be one of my favorite movies." But at the end I thought to myself, "Self, we are never ever under any circumstances watching this movie again!" I'm not joking, I boohooed for 20 minutes after it was over. I don't want to ruin it for anyone, but if you would like a fair warning before watching it, message me and I'll give you a heads up. But anywhoo -- Remember Me is now on the same list as The Notebook, Green Mile, and Thin Red Line. The Do-not-in-your-sane-mind-watch-again list.
{three} My 2nd Siloamaversary is this week. I have now proudly been the Volunteer Coordinator at Siloam Family Health Center for two lovely years.
{four} Bus Driver... MOVE THAT BUS! Ty and crew just finished a new build here in the Nashville area and I swung by to try to watch the reveal. In the last couple weeks the Extreme Home Makeover Team constructed a brand new school that had before met its demise in the May floods. As you might imagine, with filming for tv, nothing really went as scheduled. After a couple hours of waiting for the reveal, my 9-month-pregnant friend and I decided we would just wait to see it on TV (airs Nov. 7th).
{five} Do you have an outfit that you literally might wear at least once a week? I can't stop wearing my anthro dress. I mean, if you wear it in front of different crowds, does it really matter?
{six} congrats to Esther of Love in Letters, random.org #210, winner of my Bird in Flight necklace giveaway. Congrats Esther & a huge thanks to Nicole! Speaking of giveaways, I plan on winning some Uggs over at Clothed Much -- but you can try to out-win me if you really want to!
Looks like you had an eventful weekend! Hehe, I love wearing my v-neck tees with long necklaces and cardigans. they're so comfortable!!
ReplyDeleteomg I was thinking the same thing while I watched Remember Me. Did you expect that ending?!??! WOW!
ReplyDeletethat honky tonking looks ridiculously fun!
ReplyDeleteHow fun that Extreme Makeover was so close to you! I love that show. Ha, I have a dress that I definitely wear at least once a week...actually, I have a few like that come to think of it! I'm all about comfy :)
ReplyDeleteIt is SO not wrong to wear your anthro dress all the time! I do that! In diff crowds of course! Haha. I cried like a little girl watching Remember Me. I won't ever watch it again but there are some great quotes I got out of that movie. And it looks like you and Sandy had sooo much fun! Love the pictures! Happy Monday! <333
ReplyDeleteMy sister is moving to Nashville next September after she gets married. This makes me even more excited to visit her!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun weekend! I'm going to take your advice and skip Remember Me, sounds too sad.
ReplyDeletelooks like a blast of a weekend! and YES sandy is so fun to hang out with - glad you guys got the chance to do that in nashville. loving the cowboy hats!
ReplyDeletehappy monday!
i love nashville...looks like you guys had a blast! honky-tonkingis the only way to do it! and how cool to almost see a home makeover reveal!
ReplyDeletei have LOTS of items that i wear all.the.time. no judgement here! :)

ReplyDeletevdcouture
I so have to try that honky tonking...It looks so fun! Glad you had a wonderful weekend,sweetie
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday,
Kisses
Different crowds = legit excuse to wear the same outfit weekly... (I'm most definitely guilty of this. Particularly when it comes to a certain J. Crew classic tunic shirt. If there's a different belt, it's a different outfit, I say!)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I've seen The Notebook about 33 times... I've sobbed (literally, whole-body-shaking sobbed) Every. Single. Time.
What sort of self-torture is that? (Answer: the self-torture of a hopeless, hopeless romantic.)
Happy Monday!! :)
Awww - it looks like you showed Sandy such a great time in Nashville!!
ReplyDeleteI just had my first blogger meet-up this weekend too, and it was fantastic :)
Yay to more blogger meet-ups!! :)
You are adorable :) Love this post! Let's chat about this love story post of mine. I could send you a copy of my vows hehe I wrote em myself and I could send you an engagement pic that I haven't posted yet! Let me know gorgeous xo
ReplyDeleteLOVE that dress. I have the yellow one! And I can't believe you and Melissa waited 9 hours to see the reveal...what a trooper.
ReplyDeleteNow I want to watch that movie, I haven't heard anyone talking about it. I guess I shoudl have tissue handy? Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteCompletely acceptable and at Antrho's prices, you should wear it as often as you can. I'm going on a trip next week and I'm trying to figure out how many wears I can eek out of just one pair of jeans.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend, I want to go "honky tonking"! How fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd no, you can never wear an Anthro dress too much!!
Oh man, there's so much here to comment on! First off, I love that you loved Sandy a la Mode. Having blogger friends is awesome! Secondly, Congrats on two years! Woo hoo! And that is so cool Extreme Makeover went to your town to help out. And lastly- you are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHa looks like you had a fantastic weekend! I definitely have an outfit I wear all of the time! And I remember wanted to watch Remember Me? you really didn't like it? I never ever finished Green Mile (too scary), but I have seen The Notebook a few times! :)

blair~!! i LOVE that our miscellany mondays are matching again!! i had sooo much fun with you and i'm glad i got my workout in with line dancing!
ReplyDeleteOk the line dancing looks like a blast! I haven't done that since I was little girl, but it used to be a weekly thing for my, my dad, and my papaw. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I realized they were doing a school. I will definitely have to watch that when it airs.
awe! you guys are so cute :) would love to meet up with either of you girls one day :)
ReplyDeleteI do have favs that I wear once a week. If I go to a different place, why not right? Thanks for sharing all your randomness! Have a great week!

stopping by from miscellany monday. Love your blog. Funny thing is I bought the movie 'Remember me' this past weekend but didn't get a chance to see it. I love the Notebook so now I can't wait to see it after reading your comments on it. How cool is that that Ty & Company were in your neighborhood!
ReplyDeletewhat a movie! haha & ADORABLE blog!!
ReplyDeletewonderful action photos. looks like you and your friendly had a great time. i can't wait to meet some of my virtual friends face to face! yipeee ky aye!
ReplyDeleteHonky tonking sounds SO fun! :) lol Great post!
ReplyDeleteoh girl, any anthro dress is worth wearing at least once a week, if not at twice :)
ReplyDeletei just bought a new dress from there, wore it once, and promptly decided i'd be wearing it pretty much every day. plus, your dress is adorable!
Dang. I am so jealous of your outings! Sandy seems fabulous. And how cool is it that extreme makeover came to your area!!! Wow. And I am so entering that giveaway...
ReplyDeleteRachael

Looks so fun. Gotta love those hats!
ReplyDeleteAw, what a fun Nashville themed adventure that you planned for Sandy!!
ReplyDeleteblair, everything here is so fun! i've been country line dancing in nashville...it's a blast :) down in the tourist area!
ReplyDeleteyou got to meet sandy? how fun!! i still have yet to have a blog friend meet up. speaking of which, are you guys still planning on coming to MI?
ReplyDeletep.s. sorry you're getting bombarded by comments! i finally have a little time to catch up on some blogs.. i've definitely missed reading yours!!
Move that Bus!! Haha, that's pretty cool. One of my great friends since we were 12 works for Extreme Makeover Home Edition, and they were filming in Oregon near where I live. I was able to visit on set, spend the day with them, and then I actually got my hair/makeup done and got to be a ZOMBIE for the Halloween episode! Very exciting, I can't wait to see it on TV. I'm the only one with a skirt and big bow in my hair :D
