Tidbit Tuesday #63

I knew it was only a matter of time. When you’re single, your Facebook targeted ads are for online dating. When you’re engaged they’re all about losing weight for your upcoming wedding. And when you’re newly married, they’re all, “Isn’t it time for a baby already?!” F’real, Facebook? I don’t believe you’re supposed to be hinting at having babies before my own mother does. Try again in five years please. ;)

Sully’s second vet appointment has come and gone. Updates include but are not limited to: He peed on their office rug. He decided he was bigger and badder than a full-grown pit bull. And he’s now 19 pounds. AKA, double what he was when we first brought him home. Which reminds me! A bride recently called me out on not posting nearly enough images of Sully on the blog. Let’s just say we have something pretty awesome in the works…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a bajillion times more.. One of my all time favorite resources for all things inspiring is Google Reader, the easiest and most fun way to keep tabs on your favorite blogs. Recently, I’ve become obsessed with a new blog fave called Better After, which features before and after images of thrift store finds turned FAB-ulous. New content is published approximately three times a day. Which is perfectly awesome for a before/after junkie like myself. :)

Speaking of blogs, I’m always in the market for new sources of inspiration, whether photo-related or design/food/wedding-related. Pretty please feel free to leave your best blog-following suggestions in the comment section! EVEN if it’s your own!

When I was a kid, I wanted braces. Bad. I was enthralled by how fabulous it might be to wear different colored rubber-bands in my mouth. My brace-wearing friends thought I was crazy… I ALSO wanted glasses. At the very least, I wanted reading glasses so I could look super sophisticated. Again, I didn’t technically need them, and I soon learned that wearing prescription-strength lenses is actually bad for eyes that can see just fine without them. Even so, to this very day, these Warby Parker boutique quality, vintage inspired frames have me chomping at the bit. I want, I waaant.

Last Friday, Dylan and I had dinner at Olive Garden. I don’t care who you are, those commercials eat at you until you decide to do something about it! All I needed to hear was “pear and gorgonzola ravioli with shrimp” and we were headed out the door. Once we arrived, I realized that having a whole batch of bread sticks, a bowl of chicken and gnocchi soup, an entire entrée, and a frozen margarita wasn’t healthy on a completely. empty. stomach. (I’d forgotten to eat that day..) Needless to say, I swore off Olive Garden for the rest of my life. And totally ate Dylan’s leftover chicken and shrimp carbonara for lunch the next day.

Song of the Week: Feeling Good by Nina Simone. We’re not talking the Michael Bublé version, or even the Jennifer Hudson version. We’re talking the original, 1965 version. Something about Nina‘s voice and the sway of the music makes me feel way more classy than I really am. :)

I leave you with this image taken mere seconds after Kata and Drew‘s amazingly sweet first look before their beautiful wedding this past Saturday. There is much more where this came from all set for Thursday. And believe you me, you do NOT want to miss this one!

Happy Tuesday, Internet!
