M|m: Gotye Choreography

I enjoyed this and thought it was cool since I pretty much still can't get enough of this song.

Stuff I'm Enjoying

How cool would this room be?
Forget it being a kid's room, I'd probably love that as my own bedroom.

I've wanted these shoes in turquoise since I saw them at the beginning of the summer season. Unfortunately, I was too cheap to pay full price. Luckily, I saw them today and they were on sale. yay!

Netflix made me so happy recently. I've loved this show, but for some reason could never remember to watch it, and then realized I was too behind to start again once I actually found out what time new episodes were on. And que instant watch on netflix. I am currently caught up on the last two seasons.

My current make-up love - lip stains. I still love the usual glosses and lipsticks, but what I've run into is that I don't wear them to work since the dust from my job tends to stick to my lips if I do. Gross, I know. Enter lip stains.

Someone buy me this couch. Pretty please?

Wonder how easy this dress would really be...

Did you see this?

I look forward to the grammys every year and this was my favorite performance this time. A friend of mine thinks Green Day is too old and wonders why they're still around. Well, this is why. Because they're cool. How many other punk rock bands have a broadway play after one of their albums? If you haven't already, watch and see.

P.S. If you have no love for Green Day, I have no love for you. jk. that's sorta mean. but seriously, no negative Green Day comments allowed.

Woo hoo!

It's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by

-Thanks so much for the advice Keith.

On September 9th I attended my very first Keith Urban concert. For those of you who know me well, you know how excited and happy I was about this. Keith is one of my all time favorites and I have wanted to attend one of his concerts for a long time. So when I found out tickets were going on sale in March, I asked my sister if she would go with me and she agreed. (Matt is not at all a country fan.)

Since I had to work all day when tickets went on sale, Emily was ready and waiting for 10:00 am to hit so that she could order them online. She must be very quick at navigating those internet pages too because we ended up with front row seats - not the ones on the floor, but still very very good. I could hardly contain myself knowing that I was actually going to a KEITH URBAN concert! But, I had some time to simmer down during the 7 months of waiting. About a week before, Matt asked me if I was excited for my concert. It had been so long that I responded by saying, "what concert?" haha. I quickly came to my senses though.

To start off our exciting evening Emily and I went to Pho Green Papaya, a Vietnamese restaurant, to try out some new cuisine. We tried quail and pho (a Vietnamese soup) and some other things. I actually liked everything we got. I'll for sure have to visit that restaurant again. After dinner we stopped to get some bubble tea for the ride over to the concert. Yum! I had every intention of taking pictures of our experience with the new food but of course I forgot. So here are a couple pictures to give you an idea.

And now on to the real fun of the evening. Keith was just amazing. The concert was everything I expected it to be and more. He had a great compilation of songs and I was singing along to every one at the top of my lungs. Although he did not play my favorite song from his most recent cd, he did sing the main song that marks the beginning of my love for his music - and it was awesome! But, the most spiff-tasticly amazing part of the night was when he came into the crowd to sing and was only about 2 rows up from us. Pretty sure I couldn't stop screaming. The girl next to me, who seemed too overly involved in text messaging to be a true fan, probably thought I was crazy. Oh well. I had a great time and went home with a scratchy throat. Thanks Emily for coming with me, I say we do it again. Until next time, Keith.
