Finally Friday!  This cold weather we’re having this week has made the days just crawl by.  No big plans for us around here this weekend.  A little home maintenance and MAYBE some painting…we’ll see how motivated we get.  Thank you so much for reading.  Hopefully this little burst of posts helps jump start me back into regular writing.

Without further adieu, here are some links I was crushing on this week…

I follow a lot of photography blogs and this GORGEOUS recent wedding (of the famed and uber wealthy Ridinger family) posted to one of them is the most over the top extravagant glitzapalooza’s I’ve ever seen.  Here are parts two and three.  That headpiece!!!  Enjoy the eye candy.

I only have two years left to accomplish this, but I’d love to carry this excellent advice into my 30’s.

Very cool project.  A photograph of 4 sisters taken once every year for forty year years.

A mean video, but I still find it funny.  I don’t feel bad about it.  Paula Deen and Oprah at their finest.

I posted The Pregnant Husband on Facebook a few days ago, but it bears repeating.  My favorite internet find since What Should We Call Me.

UNBELIEVABLE.  These three must have a new lease on life.

So creepy I can barely watch, and yet strangely endearing.  The spider that just couldn’t hide.

This one’s for the boys.  Hilarious, laugh out loud, bad lip reading of NFL players.  “I found Fido!  I found Fido you guys!”

Have a great weekend everybody!  Also, you can follow Midwest Mountainess and be notified by e-mail every time I post.   Just click follow me in the upper right corner.  It’d be much appreciated!

This was one of those weeks that flew by for me and Jon.  He’s been incredibly busy at work (late nights) combined with keeping up with friends and league hockey, I feel like I’ve hardly seen him.  I’ve been busy at home during the day editing away, blogging, and booking sessions (yay!).  I think we’re both looking forward to a low key weekend with some time together.  Hopefully we’ll make it back up to the mountains for some skiing and other than that we’ll just hang.  Hope everybody has a great few days!

If you don’t normally click on my links, try this one as a starting point.  These photos are AMAZING.  My favorites are #7, #9, and #13…OBVIOUSLY.

These numbers make me grateful I prefer black coffee and tea.

I’m guilty of a few of these grammar mistakes unfortunately.

I will NOT be making these because if I did I’d eat every last one.

A hilarious yet true take on a classic.  “…goodnight recycled baby wipes with no perfume.” 

Have you ever been this angry?  Have you ever felt this much remorse?

A visual history of Richard Nixon getting lazier.

Obsessed with this quirky album.

My neon dress I wore for the Awards Banquet in Costa Rica, which I’ll be posting about next week!  I softened it down a bit with pretty earrings and nude heeled sandals.  Pair it up with a tan and it worked amazingly…so comfortable.

It’s here!  It’s here!

Finally Friday.  What’s everyone got going on this weekend?  I have the entire day and night to myself because Jon is busy.  I’ll be cleaning, blogging, and movie watching…I’m secretly pretty pumped.  Tomorrow I get a long overdue haircut and color and true to history I’m sure I’ll be unhappy.  But snip snip nonetheless!  The rest of my weekend will be spent enjoying some quality time with my bearded husband and bratty cat.

I’ve received mixed reviews on the link love posts, but a lot of people seem to like them, and more of you would if you’d actually click on the links and explore the internet world!  It’s fun!  Come along!

This woman almost gave me a heart attack.  But I kinda liked it.

I want this book and I haven’t even gotten the chance to be a shitty mom yet.

This one’s for the boys, or female sports fans.

The joy in this video is contagious and you’re a horrible person if you don’t agree.

Alright.  I’m ALL for being green and everything…but this lady is half nuts half amazing.

Hahahahaha.  This is why I don’t want a dog but feel like I kinda need a dog.

Anybody know where I can find the non $400 version of this…cuz I need it.

That’s all folks, see ya next week!

P.S. How intense was Sandy?  Thinking about everyone out East.

Happy Weekend Everyone!!!

Jon and I have armed ourselves with costumes that we’re pretty excited about and are heading to a big halloween party on Saturday.  I’m sure Sunday will be spent at home watching football and trying to recover.  I’ve got some fun posts lined up for next week.  Hopefully I can get back in the swing of things around here, I’ve been pretty lame lately.  Everyone have a great weekend and here are some links to peruse as it gets started.

Why is this so flipping adorable?

The odds of finding your ‘soulmate’.

Would anybody ever make these?  Is it a green thing or a cost thing?

I had a rough day yesterday and for some reason this hit home with me.  Not to mention it’s some of the most beautiful writing I’ve read in awhile.

Pretty cool.  How the planets would looked if they were at the same distance as the moon.

15 ways to stay married for 15 years.  Some might surprise you.

Last but not least, a video of what Jon and I are going as for Halloween.
