Since I'm on vacation and can't compile all of my favorite photos from the week for you, I thought I would just share my summertime playlist. I have this playlist on my ipod and I have been playing it like crazy. I've shared a couple of the songs already, but they're always worth another listen I think :)
Some are new favorites, others are just summer music staples. And of course I had to add some Ramones for Sheldon. They're his favorite band. Rockaway Beach was one of our wedding songs :) What songs make you think of summer?
I had lots of fun this week! I got to get all dolled up for the OKC pride block party on Friday and danced the night away with Levi and some new friends. I also got to see my mom this weekend which is always a special treat. She even brought us fresh veggies from her garden (their first since moving to the ranch). I went to a quilt show with my mom and my aunt and saw lots of amazing quilts and got very inspired.
This week, we're getting ready for our be Vegas vacation. Lots of cleaning, packing, and what not. We have a friend housesitting for us while we're away so we're cleaning extra hard so he doesn't have to live in our messes haha.
Music:
I LOVE She & Him! I finally got their second album on vinyl and I love it so. Zooey's voice just sounds sooo good on vinyl. I've been playing this song over and over again.
Isn't Olive just the cutest one-year-old ever? Ok I'm a tad partial. Well I have good news. I'm feeling much better! I'm almost done with my antibiotics! The infection is still here, so I may need a second round of them, but it isn't sucking the life out of me currently so I'm good. I even managed thrifting with Levi on Sunday. When I'm too sick to thrift for two weeks, it's a bad bad thing.
1) Homemade margherita pizza (I'll share the recipe for the whole wheat crust later this week) 2) Dewey hanging out in our clean sheet box (Sheldon forgot to zip it and put it back under the bed) 3) Drinking Lots of Water 4) Pink anti-biotics!
Well, I called it last week. I got a sinus infection. I went to the doctor yesterday and got meds so I should be back to my old self soonish. My entire week has been spent on the couch so I don't have many pictures to share.
**Attention the rest of this post is pretty much rambling from a woman sci-fi geek who is on a ton of sinus meds. Feel free to move along ;)
Here's what I did for the 4 days I was sick:
drank a gallon of water a day and subsequently only got up to go to the bathroom and get more water. Mucinex is awesome but it makes me horribly dehydrated.
Watched season 2 and 3 of Roswell. I liked that it had an ending but it got way to "WB (or CW now)" during the second season. Still good though.
Finished watching Dollhouse. I've been meaning to do that for ages and since I wasn't going anywhere and had finished Roswell what else was I going to do? Again, it has an ending. I like that in a short-lived TV series.
Watched the last 3 episodes of Eureka that are on Netflix. Are we seeing a pattern?
Re-watched the entire series of Wonderfalls (for like the millionth time). There are only 13 episodes. I usually end up watching this or Firefly when I'm sick.
Let's talk about what a huge geek I am. Yes I love Sci-Fi shows. I rarely watch them with such passion when I'm feeling well though. There's something about not being able to move that brings it out in me I guess. I seriously did nothing for two days except crochet a granny sqaure and watch tv. Saturday I had some energy so I took a bunch of photos and blogged. But then I lost said energy and binged on TV and water some more. I'm soo glad I'm feeling better :)
Oh I also watched a couple of movies! Something I rarely do because I have the attention span of a 4-year-old. I watched Ten Inch Hero and Revenge of the Bridesmaids via Instant Netflix. I recommend watching Ten Inch Hero. The other was just silly cute. Something to pass the time with.
Music:
When it was cold out, I would listen to Best Coast like crazy. They make me think of warm, sunny weather. So now that it's nice out and I'm stuck inside all sickly, this makes me crave being at the beach even more!!
Congratulations if you finished it to the end -- I'd bake you cookies, but I'd probably cough in them and no one needs that. See, this is why I don't blog when I'm sick.
Lots of photos this week since I didn't get to post any last week. To be honest, I didn't think I'd get around to posting this one today. I feel awful because of allergies and just want to be in bed. Eh, I'm at least functioning today. If you don't see me around on here or twitter for a couple of days you'll know I've been taken over by a sinus infection.
Music:
Sometimes I just need a little poppy ditty to make me smile. This is one of those songs. Cute boys, cute video, and a Zach Galifianakis reference. That's really all I need to make me happy. Next week I'll start sharing some of my summertime favorites, new and old.
Katie posted this yesterday for her Music Monday feature. It seriously gave me chills so I had to share it here too. I don't think I've heard of The Honey Trees before, but I'm really loving their music. Her voice is beautiful and sweetly haunting.
I also have to add this one because I Love pomplamoose and I love angry birds, therefore this is pretty awesome :)
This week wasn't all that thrilling. There was eating good food at the arts festival and a few family events and now I'm working out more because of all the good food I ate. Sheldon and I bought blue and pink yoga mats and started yoga a couple of weeks ago. We're still way horrible at it but it's fun to do together at the end of a stressful day. I also have been using the Get Fit with Mel B video game for the PS3 Move. It's a good 30 minute workout that changes daily so it doesn't get boring.
Of course there's also been quite a bit of crocheting, I've started the square a day in May and had to pick new colors and everything so that's been great fun as well.
I worked a little on my studio but it's still not 100% yet. I have a TON of vintage stuff that needs to be put away and my thrifting closet is full. That probably means I need to sell some of it, huh? A kind of excitng thing I realized is that most of the thrifted clothes I have are size 14-16 so if I can get down a (ahem) "few" sizes I should be able to wear them. Haha a girl can dream can't she?
Happiness is...
