Who doesn’t love Adele after Sunday night’s Grammy’s? Don’t you just want to call her up and meet her at the pub to chat about the night?
I love that she swept the night with her voice. No team of dancers, over the top set design or outrageous costume necessary… I have tremendous appreciation for creative expression, but Lady Gaga has got to be rethinking sitting there all night with that net over her face… I would have had that thing off after the first act!
Another highlight for me was Sir Paul… My first thought (and FB status update) after watching his last performance was “I’ll have some of whatever Sir Paul is having…” Seriously! I’m not young and he could be my dad! I think he’s pretty amazing!
So what was your favorite Grammy moment? What could you have lived without? Did any of the performances cause you to download anything from iTunes?
There’s not many things I love more than my sweet German-shorthaired Pointer, Princess. She was a gift from my ex-husband and absolutely the best gift I’ve ever received. After many years of pointing and retrieving birds during hunting season during her early years, she’s now a full-time snuggle buddy and very best friend that shows me unconditional love on a daily basis!
Princess is the reason that I love dogs as much as I do and I enjoy finding cute products that promote great causes…like these cute tees from Vaute Couture!
Princess is 14 and I can’t bare to think of life without her…but I also can’t think of life without a dog, so when the time comes to get another dog I’ll likely adopt.
Have you ever adopted a dog or cat? What organization did you go to for adoption? Tell me about your precious pet!
This would pretty much make my day…in case anyone is interested in making my day…just a few presents pilled high on a cute little car pulling up in front of my house…sweet dreams…
Dudes – This is a fail-safe gift for the over-rated V-day! She’ll get a ‘sweet’ little Valentines gift and you’ll get away with an easy purchase that leaves her feeling like you’re a true Renaissance man!
Claim it was your idea! Let her know that you researched the perfect book of love and chose this especially for her… I’ll never tell…
Find it here. Do it now! V-day is exactly a month away. I promise, you’ll thank me later!
The future’s so bright, you’ve got to wear shades! That’s the outlook I have for 2012! German artist, Nina Nolte’s series entitled The Best Is Yet To Come, that I just spotted on Luella & June, is the picture perfect representation of my feelings about turning the calendar year!
I’m moving into a new year that is full of changes and I couldn’t be more excited! I love that the women in this series are more mature (notice I didn’t say old…), glamorous, seem to be gazing at beautiful sights and are with their girlfriends…again, very representative of where I am. As I grow older, my friends become more and more important and enjoyable. I hope that some time this year I’ll be sitting in the sun with a my girlfriends planning the next adventure. I just hope that our jewels and scarves are as beautiful as these beauties!
I have a new girl crush…I’m in love with Zooey Deschanel’s vintage style and indie songstress croons. I’m thinking we could have a great time shopping flea markets together! Christmas albums aren’t my favorite things, but I think I could listen to her “A Very She and Him Christmas” all year long.
Ladies, winter is coming up and we have to get ready. With the equinox just 5 short months away, what does the modern woman need to do to get ready for sweater season?
1. Start practicing with your parka. Wear it around the house, to a barbeque or to the beach. When a dude says, “You look hot,” say, “Thank you, this jacket is certified to minus 60% below zero.” Then wink. You know what he means ladies, right? Right?
2. Try doing everyday stuff with mittens on. Like typing. Have fun! E.g. ahudfnjk;afbdjfbjkls093u84urahlu = happy holidays
3. Eat gingerbread willy-nilly. You’re welcome.
4. Q. It’s the holidays! Calories don’t count, right? A. Correct. You must adopt this attitude to successfully attain a winter steaze.
5. Fly some family members out to see you, preferably more than can fit in your apartment or house.Make them share towels. Watch the magic as it happens.
6. Rock some Christmas tunes at work. People will love this. No one loves ‘Holly Jolly Christmas’ more than your co-workers. Play it loud.
7. Time for pajamas! You sweat at night? Too bad! You have to suffer for a winter body.
8. Festive sweater time. Get comfy in your sweet Cosby with X-mas trees or a menorah. Let everyone know what’s up.
9. SPF 1 zillion. Do it.
10. If it doesn’t have a crust, don’t eat it. All the best winter meals start and end with pie. Embrace this, now.
Well that’s all I have. Attaining a winter body is a challenge, but with enough perseverance and ambition, you can do it. I know you can.
Now watch this sweet video and let me know if you think Zooey’s cool too…
