Tidbit Tuesday #76

Okay… I don’t quite consider myself a movie-watching kind of girl. Unless it involves breaking out into song and dance. But Bridesmaids has got to be the most incredibly funny/entertaining/funny movie I’ve ever seen. Dylan and I wanted to see it again immediately after walking out of the theatre. It was THAT awesome. If my memory serves me correctly, the only movie I’ve seen in theatres twice was National Treasure, with Nicholas Cage, of all people. And although I realize this probably doesn’t help my case at ALL, you’ve just got to believe me about Bridesmaids. And take me along if you’re up for seeing it..

In 48 hours I will be on my way home for the first time in six months. I am anticipating lunch with friends, meeting a friend’s sweet little baby for the first time ever, more lunch with more friends, shooting the wedding day of a friend I’ve been friends with for nearly 20 years, and a collaborative project with a friend that is sure to woo your socks off. And lest I make it seem as though this trip is merely about friends and food, it is also about family. Lorae and Cam and I will all be under the same roof for a period of three days! Which means laughter-filled slumber parties in my room and getting half-laughed/half-yelled at by the parentals.

All of my dreams happen in high school. Or at least that’s what Dylan tells me. Every morning he is sure to hear the same two things: 1) “Aren’t you going to ask me about my dream?” and 2) “I was sitting at my desk during 4th period when…” True to form, last night I dreamt I had to borrow a biology book from a random girl thousands of miles away, or else I’d flunk a test I hadn’t even attempted to study for. Thankfully, I woke up before ever having to open the book.

We got out car back!! After a full month of driving a bright red, cigarette smoke-infused, rental Impala, our precious Milan has been perfectly restored to its pre-accident state of glory. In honor of this new phase of its life, I’ve decided our car needs a name. But I just can’t make up my mind concerning whether it should be a girl, or a boy car. You roll your eyes. But I’m dead serious… These are the things I think about. Name suggestions, anybody? ;)

Song of the Week: Someone to Fall Back On by Jason Robert Brown. For those of you not already aware, I am a closet theatre buff. My teen years were spent impersonating Guys and Dolls‘ Sarah Brown, Peter Pan‘s Liza, and Cinderella‘s Portia, and tacking Broadway Playbills to the wall behind my bed. Well, I’ve recently fallen back in love with the musical talent of the BEST composer/lyricist on planet earth, Jason Robert Brown. And Someone to Fall Back On is one of my million favorites of his. :) P.S. You should see Sully’s face when I break out into belted vibrato.

I’ll leave you with a hint of a session I’ve so desperately been wanting to post ever since it was shot last Wednesday. This one is for the archives, folks. An amazing couple with the most adorable story EVER. You won’t want to miss Tammy and Sonny’s downtown Houston engagement.

Happy Tuesday!!
