152 hours

I have a small rant to carry out before moving on to the good stuff:

Open Rant. I'm sure you have all experienced it (and are probably guilty of doing it, like me-however I would like to say that my slips are very sporadic). I have a deep and sincere dislike for instances where someone says to me "Do you want to do the dishes, please?" instead of "Will you please do the dishes?" When I woke up this morning, my first thought was not "Gee, I hope I get to do the dishes today, I just really want to do them!" Of course I am more than willing to help out and do them, but please just tell me what you are actually trying to say. It is possible to be straight up and not rude (hence the word "please" located in the question). I think this particular issue is a result of our society's eroding set of communication skills. Close rant.


Good stuff:

I depart for Paris in 6 days and 8 hours. A few years ago when I worked at a bank, I always set my passwords as places I wanted to travel, not knowing if or when I would ever get there but giving myself an excuse to daydream about them for just a minute. France and Italy were obviously on the top of that list. And now in a matter of days I will be visiting them. I can hardly contain my excitement.

On top of that (more like overshadowing) I will be reunited with my sister, my very dear sister!!!! We are so similar that it can be frightening. We have been the very best of friends for my entire life, and it is incredible how that hasn't changed with 5,000 miles between us and a year spent apart. I. Cannot. Wait!

BFs

13-year-old McKelly has pictures of Zac Efron all over the place in her room, which is cute and exactly what I did at her age with Joey Lawrence and Johnathan Taylor Thomas. Anyway, I've seen the High School Musicals, and yeah, of course, he's good looking. But, I went and saw the movie 17 Again... I'm pretty sure that I'm close to going out and purchasing some posters of Zac Efron for myself. Just look:

My other boyfriend:

How could you not love him?!

And while we are on the subject, my real, and adorable boyfriend:

We went to see the Beatles LOVE show by Cirque Du Soleil in Vegas and it was AWESOME! Tyson loves the Beatles so we went for his birthday last month. Loved it.

wedding hair

I just wanted to give a shout out to my little Mady. She did my hair for a party last week, and subsequently discovered what I believe will be my wedding hair. Isn't she great?! This picture doesn't even do it justice. I just love the classic looks of the past. I wasn't meant to live in this era.

Anyways, I am currently trying to decide whether to have a piece like that in my hair (in white of course), or have my dream veil:

BTW, I'm not getting married, just planning my wedding.

Hhhmmmmm.....

I want one of these (MSN told me it is the perfect pet for my Zodiac sign):

and also one of these:

And they will be best friends.

Also, I love "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield. You should probably go listen to it.
