Sunday Morning Social.

So after all of the delights that Saturday night beholden, we got up early and attended Soraya's open studio. She did a collaboration on some jewels w/ Natalia, and there were cupcakes!




Pretty as a picture!

Here are some of the items that Natalia and Soraya busted out for our open stuido pleasure!





I mostly chilled over by the grapes and water. B/C I was hung over :(



Cuteness!
So after the open studio, we rode bikes over to Jenny ways house and scooped her up to go to Ikea. I bought a wine rack, b/c owning a wine rack is truly adult and classy. It shows that you are mature enough and have enough restraint not to drink all of the wine in your house! Just b/c its there does not mean you have to drink it. Trust! Anyway, after buying that landmark house hold item, we were about to pass out from not having eaten anything but some open studio grapes! We went to karaoke brunch in red hook, and got really tasty food and practiced our padgent faces.



We biked back to the neighborhood, and i got my track stand down. Boosh!

Don't sweat the tecnique!

WTF.

My blogger is freaking out throwing a wrench in my spokes while im trying to get my blog on! I don't need it from you blogger.com not today!

Weekend Recap.

This weekend was epic in everyway! We had a new roommate move into the apt, and also had a house warming party for Rodger moving into my apt. Sparky and her friend Abby visited this weekend from Bloomington. We checked out Soraya's open studio and bought a wine rack from Ikea. Let's examine the weekend's events!

Since Rodger moved into the apartment, we decided it would be a fun time to have a house warming situation! We invited all the usual suspects over for some Sangria and snacks. As always hilarity ensued. Well at least some major snacking ensued.

This guy kept talking about how robots were going to take over the world and replace all of the humans

Naturally that made me think of that GM Commerical where the robot gets laid off the assembly line, and becomes suicidal.

The recession is affecting us all. Even the robots. Don't forget that.

Here is a picture of Hana keeping it classy her her Hooters tank top. I think that really set the tone for the evening.

There was a lot of alcohol flowing at the party and we were serving "super sized sangrias" so naturally the party degenerated into

jenny and i making "scene" , which we learned about while on google.

Ex. 1

Ex. 2

Sparky and I realized that we are only really photogenic when photographed w/ an upsidedown camera myspace style.

A good portion of the evening was also spent practicing our "baby beauty queen" faces. A la "Toddlers w/ tierras" and "Little Miss Perfect"

see the resemblance?





This party was totally classy and everyone throughly warmed the house. The best part, was how everyone one was remarking about how the sangria wasn't very strong. Yea. Two grown ass women fell asleep after
drinking that "not strong sangria!" just saying! Owned by the sangria! Trust.

Animal Planet Shoot = Rodger and Beans are FAMOUS!!!

So when my boss told me that they were looking for "edgy looking people" and their pets for the new animal planet spot, I was like, ZOMG you need to cast my cat in your commercial! Listen, you need to respect the nepotism! She has star quality! At any rate, they ended up casting beans, Rodger and I to be in it, and here are the restults. Beans was terrified and hid under the chair in the green room all afternoon, but once she stepped on set she was the only cat that didn't freak the F out and run off set and hide in the sets off to the side. Once they put her on the couch she fell asleep! I was like, ZOMG this cat is too funny. Any way, beholden the fruits of her labor (and Rodger looking like an ignorant bald head) but admittedly a cute ignorant bald head.





They kepy jingling bags of cat treats and keys to get her to look at the camera and she was like WTF?!?!


Beans is a magestic creature and didn't appreciate her beauty being exploited. She was so salty she didn't even want any treats! Unheard of!

They had me take some pics w/ her too. Looking like a couple of matching cuties! (also the stylist didn't tell me you could see my underwear lines. Thanks lady.)

roawr!

Wedding Celebrations.

So Rodger and I flew into Chicago for the wedding over memorial day weekend. Everyone was really stressed and on edge so we were off to a bit of a rough start. We ran around all weekend doing errands and being like wedding planning interns except we didn't get free lunch or a metro card, but once we got the ceremony over, the relaxation began! That was enough to scare me into having my dad pay to have some one do all that annoying wedding shit for me! Who would of thought that a little wedding planning would have been so epic? Anyway here's some pics of the big day!

For the rehersal dinner my dad got these dudes from mexico who work with him at one of his factories to pack up their "electric merenge" band and drive down to indianapolis to play the reheral party. We saw these dudes throw down at their Christmas party last year and ZOMG it was epic. They rocked out so hard, playing like Mexcian country music complete an entire lighting set up. It was awesome! We ate BBQ and drank good beer and danced all night! It was so fun!











The day of the actual wedding is a blur of preparations including but not limited to, eating an epic meal at "Shownies" which is Denny's lesser known arch rival sit down family resteraunt, tying identical tule bowes for the church, moving tables, going to target, picking up my mom at the hair place, driving all over Noblesville Indiana, dropping off flowers, etc. That shiz was epic. But I think it was worth it. B/c the ceremony turned out lovely!







So the ceremony was lovely, but make no mistake! Im such a high heeled rookie that i literally couldn't focus b/c my feet felt so crazy! By the end of the ceremony i was seriously like doing a crazy dance shifting my weight back and forth on these crazy shoes. but i looked nice damn it! respect that!

After the ceremony we went to go tear it up at the reception! It was kind of crazy being at the reception because it was literally a rec center filled with every adult i have ever come across in my life. But the food was the BOMB and Joan came to DJ the reception so you know the dance jams were banging! Lets just say that by the end of the night he was playing the "Pony song" by Genuine. Yea it was like that. Plus there were many bulgarians in attendance so we busted out some ethnic dances and got all funky gypsy style.



diversity!

Vinny came up for the wedding, so there was lots of "C walking" and the robot. Because he chills at home and practices dances on youtube videos as one of his main hobbies. This was his time to shine!


Rodger hit it off strangely well w/ my super proper Canadian relatives.

BFFS!!!!1!!

So everyone let their hair down, and got all funky.

(classic hieronymus)



then luis was all "IN BRAZIL WE PARTY LIKE 200% ALL THE TIME!!!!"
Because they do, and we are better off for it! The brazilians hold us to a higher partying standard.


If you like then you should've put a ring on it!

Joan was srsly playing all the hits! he was like, we need some jodycee up in here ASAP!!




HAHA WHUT?! OG BFFs :)

And on a final note: I leave you w this.



After that weekend of excitment, I srsly needed two weeks of rest just to regoup! I can't keep up w/ those hieronymus' they party 200% all of the time.

Jack and Nina's Wedding.

So for jack and nina's wedding I had to think of a wedding present to get them. I was seriously temped to buy these buiscut heads a margarita-ville margarita maker. Jack is one of the more serious people I know, seconded by Nina, but in an unexpected detail in his personality he loves fruity "resort" style drinks. So I thought, margarita maker it is! Well my mother chimed in that my cousin Emily had made them a really thoughtful gift of a hand made cook book of her favorite recepies, and that I should make something sentimental as well. So i thought to my self, "Darts-Muray! I will not be shown up by you! I will not be left out in the cold w/ my margaritaville margarita maker!" So I found this craft online and make it for jack and nina w/ some pictures i had taken of them.

The craft directions were easy to follow and the results turned out great. I got some wood grain frames so the finished restult. Will post up some pics at somepoint.

UpDatez.

When I last posted in my blog it was April. Since then my brother has gotten married, my roommate has moved out, my boyfriend has moved in, and I have re joined weightwatchers.com. My laptop has died, and I also started doing hot yoga. My housing search has sort of stalled out b/c getting up early and looking at dilapidated houses is depressing at 10am on a saturday morning! At any rate I am going to Bulgaria next week, so when I get back from there my search will presume. I took a bunch of pictures at the wedding, and I'm going to do a blog post on the American wedding, then a blog post about the Bulgarian wedding after it happens. Stay tuned!
