Tidbit Tuesday #77

It’s Tuesday. But I didn’t realize that until about 10 seconds ago… Traveling this past week, coupled with celebrating Memorial Day yesterday has my entire sense of time screwed up. But not to worry. This Tuesday brings with it a vast array of ridiculously random and semi-embarrassing tids.. :)

Yesterday, Dylan and I went grocery shopping. (For whatever reason, we always seem to do it together. It kind of warms my heart…) While Dylan picked up some buns, I was sent down the soda isle. And as I cradled a liter of diet Dr. Pepper in my right arm, I was reminded of flour baby. Yes. Flour baby. When I was eight, I used to sneak into our pantry with the single intention of cradling a bag of all-purpose flour in my arms. Because it weighed roughly the same as a real baby would. And it was nearly as long. The only difference between my flour baby and the real thing was the funny white powder that always seemed to be leaking from the corners. And that, Internet? Is random. And embarrassing.

Why is it that you can go an entire three-hour flight successfully avoiding talking to the creepy old man to your left, and then he begins telling you his life story just two minutes before touching down? This scenario played out on both legs of my trip home on Monday. I think I’m going to start calling it the Alyse Aviation Theory: You will ALWAYS end up sitting next to the oddest person on your flight. Always. :)

It’s the simple things that fascinate me to no end… This past weekend, I had my first-ever encounter with water beads, and I am now forever changed. Those of you who are unfamiliar will think I’m a freak. But those of you who are will totally agree with my sentiment. That is all for now. Maybe I’m the oddest person..

Song of the Week: Poison and Wine by The Civil Wars. I have my sister to thank for this find. There’s just something about the blending of this group’s two voices, and the fact that one is a Jack Sparrow look-a-like that makes me love this song more and more with each listen. Increeedibly written. And a remarkably produced video. Listen to it. Watch it. Buy it. Now!

I’ll now leave you with a couple sneaks of what’s coming up on the blog this week. First, my brother Cam and his GORGEOUS girlfriend Casey’s super adorable, crazy fun, just because session. O.M.GAH. They were amazing. Set to post tomorrow! :) And then come back on Friday for the single most awesome collaborative styled shoot I’ve ever been a part of. With concept and peeerfect floral by Hannah Crosby, and modeling done by none other than the fabulous Martha Swann and her man, Mr. Rob Long! And if this tidbit hasn’t properly conveyed my excitement over these two shoots: AHHH!!! Come on back! :)

Happy Monday. I mean, Tuesday!
