Big Glasses, Bigger Party & The Biggest Family.

by katelin on March 5, 2014

You guys, I love wedding almost as much as I love weekends. Both are equally awesome.

Friday: I had the day off of work and that afternoon Matt and I battled the California rain and made our way to San Jose. We met up with my sister for dinner and some cousins for drinks. It was delightful. Also, at the bar: Michael Jackson impersonators. I kid you not. Out of nowhere three guys walked in as various forms of MJ and it magical. That night I called it an early one while Matt and my sister hit up the bar with my cousins, I was so okay with sleep, ha.

Saturday: The big day! That morning Matt, my sister and I spent the morning at The Tech Museum. Where we got to be big kids and play with all sorts of fun technology. Twas a good way to kill a few hours before lunchtime.

Once lunchtime arrived, so did Virginia, Alex and baby Eloise! Luckily they had the afternoon free and came down from the Bay to spend a few hours with us. It was so good to see them, catch up on life and play with the little lady.

After lunch we spent a few more hours at the museum before getting ready for the whole reason we were in San Jose, my cousin’s wedding reception!

The reception was a whole lot of awesome and basically reiterated how much I love my crazy ass family. There was karaoke, prop boxes, nine courses of food and an open bar. There was so much dancing and laughing and hugs with family I don’t get to see often enough.

I mean, even the bathrooms were funny.

The night was just so fun and I wish we could do it again this weekend.

Sunday: Got up earlyish (and without a hangover, huzzah!) and made our trek home. With only a few stops for Starbucks and breakfast we made it home with plenty of time for me to watch a whole lot of Red Carpet. Not only that, we had a few friends over to watch The Oscars, ordered pizza and called it a night. A fabulous end to the weekend indeed.

 

And that my friends, is how weddings in my family are done. And Oscar Sundays. And weekends in general.

 

How was your weekend? Any drunk octopuses?

 

happy wednesday!

Let’s Talk About Oscar.

by katelin on March 3, 2014

Yesterday was all about one man. Oscar.

Usually today would be a weekend recap, but instead it’s “Let’s Talk About the Oscar’s Some More.” Because it’s my favorite TV event and I so want to be there, but instead I live tweet, I text with friends and I scream at the TV while my friends and husband laugh at me. It’s delightful. And in case you weren’t following me on Twitter, texting with me or sitting in the same room as me as I screamed about Leonardo DiCaprio and Benedict Cumberbatch countless times, here are my thoughts on the evening. In 140 characters, or less.

 

So there you have it. Apparently the whole show was about Leonardo DiCaprio, Benedict Cumberbatch and Sandra Bullock. I also screamed over Chris Hemsworth and may have swooned over Angelina’s dress. I thought Ellen was an excellent host and the set designs were pretty damn awesome. Pink, Idina and Bette made my heart melt with their songs. And I got teary during the In Memorium section. So many of my favorite celebrities were together and it was the best.

 

Did you watch The Oscar’s? Did you love it? Did you want to be in that Ellen selfie too? Did you watch Game of Thrones instead?

 

happy monday!

Quitter.

February 27, 2014

TweetSo remember when I started liking coffee? And it was awesome. In some weird way it made me feel like more of an adult (apparently everything makes me feel like an adult, ha). It made me happy that I could order more than just an apple cider at Starbucks and enjoy it. That the caffeine […]

A Little Bit Closer to Thirty.

February 25, 2014

Tweet Two months from today is my thirtieth birthday. I’m not quite sure what to do with that since I still say “a few years ago” when referring to anything that happened to me in college. That or it also feels like my twenty fifth birthday was just yesterday. But alas, it was five years […]

Weekends are the Most Awesome.

February 24, 2014

TweetSomehow it’s Monday again, I’m so confused about this. Like too confused. Why do weekends have to go by so quickly? It makes no sense. Friday: After a long week of work I was quite happy to enjoy some wine, watch the Olympics and have some dinner with family. Twas delightful. Saturday: The best kind […]

Curls.

February 21, 2014

Tweet I didn’t always like my curls. I actually sort of detested them and how much they made me stand out. You could find me easily in any class picture, you could spot me across the playground, there was no hiding with this hair. Where everyone I knew had straight and pretty hair, mine was […]

Left Side, Strong Side.

February 20, 2014

TweetWith the Olympics happening I feel like it’s been impossible to hide from any sort of sports talk. So today I decided to bring my own sports talk to the mix. My favorite sports movies in fact. All this talk of the Jamaican bobsled team and countless references to Cool Runnings throughout this Olympics just […]

Tacos, Sunburns & a Whole Lot of Lovely.

February 18, 2014

TweetWeekends are always my favorite. ALWAYS. And this past weekend was no exception. I wish it was still the weekend because I’m really good at not working and enjoying weekendtime. Friday: I took the day off of work and Matt and I took off for Palm Desert. On our way we stopped in Palm Springs […]
