Tidbit Tuesday #30

The past five Tuesdays have been so empty. So cold. No, seriously.. Without fail, each of the past five Tuesdays, I’ve woken up with intense pangs of blogger’s guilt. As I’ve gotten hitched, been Dominicanized, and Texified, life has sorta, well, happened. And I’ve found myself all, “Now THAT is Tidbit Tuesday-worthy!” on more than a few occasions. Today’s Tuesday is an attempt to rectify the situation. No. 1 on the list? The word rectify. It just sounds wrong, doesn’t it?

I’ve noticed something about myself. Life changing really.. I tend to eat a lot of things upside down. Think about it. Toaster Strudel, chocolate-drizzled granola bars, crackers with cheese? All the real flavor is on one side. The only solution for optimum flavor consumption is turning said strudle, granola and cracker with cheese upside down so it hits your tongue before anything else does. Challenge! Next time you eat pizza, wear a bib, and eat it upside down. You’ll never be the same. :)

Band/Song of the week: Light Outside by Wakey!Wakey! And let me tell you, it’s a good thing I work from home and Dylan doesn’t, because I played this song about 30 times in a row the other day. And he. Hates. That. :)

So for the first time EVER, I have reason to purchase a sofa, a love seat, a dinette set, and 17 uniquely awesome pillows! I think I could shop for accent pillows all day long. But who am I kidding? That’s pretty much what this last week has been for! I can’t wait to blog it all once our place is done!!

Houston is an incredible city. In what other city can you go to FIVE Marshalls Stores in ONE day? Some other interesting facts about Houston? It’s the fourth most populous city in the nation. It has ELEVEN THOUSAND restaurants. (Yes, please!!) AND it has a 17-block theatre district, which is totally my thang. Side-note: Dylan loves to make fun of my knowledge of all show-tunes in existence, as opposed to my complete ignorance of any music from the 90’s. I was sheltered. What can I say? At least I know almost every Michael W. Smith song from that decade. ;)

I’ve always loved design, and with decorating our new home, I have gone design blog crazy. One of my absolute FAVES is Design Sponge. Oh Grace Bonney, be my best friend? Readers – what are some of your favorite design-inspired blogs? Hook a girl up!

So there we were, heading down McGowen St., when I told Dylan, “I think I’m going to get my hair cut this week.” “Oooh, mhm. Okay,” says a skeptical, but nonetheless studly Dylan. He doesn’t think I have the guts! Which of course automatically makes me want to prove him wrong. Internet, I do solemnly swear (if my nerves hold up!) that I WILL be sporting a new do by the end of the week. Words of encouragement and pep are welcomed in the comment section! :)

I haven’t blogged a photog spotlight in a while. :( But this one hits close to home! Mabyn Ludke, everybody! Mabyn (and the incredible Tim Hunt!) shot our wedding nearly a month ago, and we couldn’t have asked for better photographers to capture our day. Mabyn is a dear friend, and her mastery of the art of photography is in-freaking-credible. She’s always, always pushing herself to grow, and it shows in the strength and creativity of her images. If you haven’t clicked on her name already, DO IT. Also! A little birdy (coincidently named Mabyn) told me our wedding is soon to be blogged here!

I’ll leave you with a hint of what’s to come tomorrow! Dun, dun, DUN. HONEYMOON!

Happy Tuesday!!
