My Top 10 of '09!

Well folks- here is the start my Top 10 from 2009. I realize I'm a bit premature- as the year hasn't officially ended yet- but I have a feeling I will be completely consumed in the next two weeks by the holidays- etc. So while I have the chance- I'm gonna spill my thoughts. :)

*(This list does not include the ongoing obsessions- such as: Pizza, Michael Jackson, baby Jack, holidays... On and on. =])

Here we go!!

Top 10....

Obsessions

All of these things have caught my attention, and held it there for at least a week or so- which all of you know isn't easy.

10. Bow- Making.


I learned how to do this in March, and I found it to be pretty fun- and Maddie loves them!

9. Prince, Purple Rain


We had been on a hunt for this movie for awhile, and when we finally found it we ended up having so much fun with it- I mean what's not to love?!

8. Scarves.


I love them! I love all kinds, styles, colors- all around LOVE!

7. Real World Brooklyn.


I have never watched a season of the Real World in it's entirety. But I loved this season so much- Ryan was my FAVORITE- the "bromance" with Chet was just almost too awesome.

6. Black and White Clothing.


It's all I want to wear! It doesn't have to be together- but if there's a choice of color- I'll always choose black.

5. Earrings.


I got my second set re-pierced in March, and finally made my ears get used to wearing earrings again. I feel weird and incomplete without them now.

4. Lady GaGa.
*I'm having a really hard time placing the next three in order- I love them all.



Lady GaGa is just. So. Amazing. I love her clothes- her music- her videos... All of the above!

3. Lady Antebellum.


Ever since I saw the perform live in July it was all over. I absolutely adore this group. Their lyrics are fresh and their look is to die for. Excited for their new CD in January!

2. American Idol.


This is a no-brainer. It was a 5 month long obsession full of funny auditions, lots of Seacrest beauty, lots of fun little parties, and most of all-

1. Adam Lambert.


Yes. My absolute obsession for the entire year. I am so in love with his entire persona- the glitter, make-up, clothes, music, everything. And his personality? To. Die. For.
Nothing was more fun than following all the Idol-mania that surrounded Adam this year. Everything ranging from the so called "controversy" from "Ring of Fire", to the very next week being reduced to a little puddle of emotions during "Tracks of my Tears", screaming with excitement over "Feeling Good" and "Whole Lotta Love", to catapulting out of my chair during his performance with KISS... And then bawling like a complete lunatic on the fateful night of the Idol Finale. He is like every fabulous person whose ever lived all rolled up into one. I will continue to love him until my obsession ends with all things glam- which means... Yeah. Never. :)

And that's it my friends. I leave you with this- and a small large part of me wishing I was a hot boy.

Two week countdown is ON! :)

So.

After many weeks of hesitation, I finally decided to get down to business and create our Christmas card. I looked on several different websites, and while there were so many to choose from, nothing really worked for what I wanted to do. Either that or the shipping was cutting it so close to Christmas I wondered if they would be sent out on time. (Way to be on time, Meghann).

Anyway, I ultimately decided to design our own this year, I am pretty happy with how it turned out.



And here's some that didn't make the cut- I wish I could just send out all of them and force everyone to marvel at how lovely we are. =]

Oh well. That's why I blog, right?

Letter to the Big Man.

It's time to write a letter to Santa!

What did Isaac have to say?



What did Ivan have to say?




We addressed the envelopes today, and they will be off to the North Pole by tomorrow. Did you know that Santa Claus really writes back? It's true! All you have to do is send the letter his way to:

Santa Claus
North Pole
H0H 0H0
Canada



I hope everyone gets what they wish for!

Oh Ivan...

You're one-of-a-kind, my little friend.

It's the weekend everybody- Go Crazy!

Addiction? Or Therapy?

Maybe Both.

Lady Antebellum.

I've always enjoyed them, especially since I saw them live at the Sun City Carnival tour back in July. However- it was not until I bought their debut album after their performance on the CMA's that I really fell in love. As most of you know, music is my number one passion. I love to sing it, listen to it, study it... All of the above. But this is the first new band/group/album I have really loved in a long time. The whole album is great- from start to finish. I love every single song!



If you haven't checked them out- do it! Their new single 'Need You Now" is headed for number one- check it!

Blankie Want Ad

Ivan Dane is a blankie boy. It's a fact. He has about twenty. One, however, had a special place in this boys heart.











Sadly, dad took the boys on a fishing trip and left love bugs blanket at the hotel. All calls to retrieve it were in vain- health code requires items to be discarded after 24 hours.

I've searched for years to find one exactly like it- a search on eBay shows that the blanket is discontinued and hard to find.

Of course- the one thing he loses. Wilbourn luck.

If any of you reading this have one of these in storage, etc., that is in good enough condition to sell, I will buy it from you in a heartbeat.
