Music Monday: Prejudice

Yes, prejudice.  A serious topic usually...but not in this case!  [even though there is some total truth to this song! ha!]

This is for all you rockin' gingers out there.  

Enjoy.

HAHA!

xo, kass

Music Monday: Kate Nash

“Right, birds can fly so high
and they can shit on your head.
Yeah, they can almost fly into your eye
and make you feel so scared.
But when you look at them
and you see that they’re beautiful
that’s how I feel about you.”
Birds, Kate Nash

Kate Nash has an interesting voice. I don’t know much about her except that she has an accent when she sings, she’s British and has red hair (which I think may actually be natural?). Regardless, I really enjoy her music and I love that song above, Birds. It’s catchy and the lyrics are fun...as is the case with many of her songs. :)

Awkward/Awesome Thursday!

(me as a dorky child..I think that's a gourd next to me)

Awkward 

• Omg, my monday was a real MONDAY (read: pain in the ass). I spent most of my working day research one stupid little problem. AND I dropped a huge book (like you find in the Recorder's office of a County - cuz that’s where I was, ha) on my foot! Luckily my big toe was up to the challenge. 
• I called my boyfriend’s step mother by the wrong name...eek. That would probably be due to the martini incident you’ll see below... lol. 
• I’ve been considering doing another remix challenge...gah, what is wrong with me? 
• Not being able to sleep due to a super sore/scratchy throat. Argh, crabby Kassie definitely made an appearance this week. 
• Burning my forehead this morning with my curling iron...and we’re talking like 2nd degree burn here. It blistered immediately and it was right before I had to leave for work. Luckily, my co workers were much less frantic than I and directed me the first aid kit that contained burn gel. Thank god! So, now I have a lovely bulls-eye (seriously that’s what it looks like) right in the middle of my forehead...but luckily I have nicely curled bangs to hide it. Ha! 

Awesome 

• My family will be here tomorrow for a nice weekend visit!! 
•  Last weekend we went to Minnesota for a wedding and also saw a lot of Brian’s family...and we even got to surprise his mom, it was a blast! 
• On said MN weekend...I ordered a martini & apparently at this place they make a whole shakers worth for you. The waitress told me it would be about “3 shakes”...it ended up being 5 and then some. Which also was a bit awkward, but mostly awesome. 
• I found some more great deals at the thrift store, including a like new pair of Banana Republic shorts...for 3 bucks!! First shorts I’ve bought in about 5 years... 
• We bought tickets to see Grace Potter & the Nocturnals next Friday. Can I get an...Ooo La La! :D

Awkward & Awesome Thursdays

I've seen this Awkward/Awesome Thursday thing on other blog, I hunted down the source {the daybook} and then linked up!  Sounds like fun! :)

yea, that's awkward....

Awkward

-The girl at Hickory Park that was laughing so hard that she squealed...then us laughing so hard we were crying...then her table catching our before mentioned laugh frenzy.

-The teenagers that I thought were crying at a sad part in Hunger Games, but it turned out they were laughing.   yea.

-Trying to draw Florida in Draw Something...it didn't look right.  At all.

-Introducing myself and Brian to my mother's coworker and then her saying, yea I know who you are, I hear about you everyday! Haha! [I guess that's also kind of awesome...]

-Getting ourselves and Theo covered in burrs...and a few ticks.

Awesome

-Finally finding a possible rental.  Pretty much the first one that will let me have Theo! Cross your fingers that it doesn't turn out to be a shack!

-Having dinner with my momma!  Instead of 4.5 hours away she was only 2!

-Starting back up my 5k training. 

-My new SPIbelt.  Seriously, if you run...this is an awesome accessory! It doesn't bounce around or anything and it's super small, but expands to fit your phone, keys, etc.

-Trying to concoct the perfect Moscow Mule on Saturday afternoon...along with the grilling and bags.

-Going Geo-caching and finding a really challenging one that was not in the correct place!

Friday Favorites: Smile! :)

My posting has been less than spectacular this week, but next week I will get back into the swing of things. I even have outfit photos anxiously waiting to be seen! I did some super sweet thrifting recently, so you’ll be seeing some of that, actually you already did...the zebra skirt in my last post! I’ve been feeling mentally and emotionally drained lately...and no, don’t worry! No reason, just super busy in life and work, runs ya down sometimes. So in light of that, this installment Friday Favorites will be random things that inspire me and make me smile. :D

Okay, this is less random and more personal, but these two guys make me smile more than anything else. :)

I love me a cute giraffe! :)

see, so cute!

This is one sexy man.  So, sexy.

nice sentiment, pretty art.

this is super cool!

Hm. Exactly.

 

 OMG, cutest thing ever. Lol

 

And let me just leave you one more....

Haha!

HAPPY FRIDAY!
