Tidbit Tuesday #136

I know… I didn’t blog last Tuesday. But if you follow me on Twitter, then you know why. I was poisoned. By bad bratwurst. Even its name sounds evil – AM I RIGHT?! With that said, I feel there is SO much I could write about today. And also a ton I should spare you from… :) Suffice it to say that when I get sick, I get sick for WEEKS. Y’see, my body don’t mess around. No two-day viruses for this girl. But in other, more encouraging news…

I’m having Olympics withdrawals. Okay, that wasn’t encouraging was it? ;) I’m having Olympics withdrawals because I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I am completely enthralled with the mom commercials, the horribly-uncomfortable awkwardness between athlete and coach (WHY don’t they just make out already?!), and seeing the US medal-count kick butt. I’m also overcome with sappiness when I think about the history of these games (minus the competing-while-naked thing). If loving the Olympics were an Olympic sport, then you could call me Goldie. ;)

I am clearly no longer a country girl… This past weekend, Dylan and I spent a few days in Jaffrey/Rindge, NH to shoot the wedding of our lovely friends. It was an emotional, insanely fun day of witnessing love and catching up with our sorely-missed Syracusians. But I digress. After the newlyweds were sent on their way, the SU group decided to jump in the lake. Minus me. Because I was too busy avoiding blood sucking leeches, watching for bears, and getting bugs stuck in my EYE. I was positive we’d all make it on the 9AM news the following day. But thankfully, I’m just dramatic.We made it out alive. And dry. Well, Dylan and I were anyway. :)

Song of the Week: Photograph by Jamie Cullum. In creating the playlists for my sister’s bridal showers last month, I rediscovered my love for Jamie and his jazzy musical prowess. Jamie is one of the few artists I’d willingly break my own toes for to see in concert. And if he performed this song? (Or let’s be real – ANY of his songs…) It’d be a dream come true. If you’re not already familiar, PLEASE… Familiarize yourself!!

Oh there is SO much blog-prettiness in the works this week! Without making any promises as to specifics days, just know to be on the lookout for pictures from my sister’s main bridal shower and a wedding sure to blow you away with its ballet-meets-bistro flare. I’m EXCITED about this one, friends. Keep you posted, Internet! :)

Happy Tuesday!!
