Weekend Highlights

satIMG_4901

On Saturday, the hubs and I went out to Splitsville to celebrate our best friend’s birthday with a little midnight bowling action! We got her a great present, if I may say so myself and had a good time catching up with our closest friends. Unfortunately, now that I am dieting and training, it doesn’t take a lot for me to get very drunk very fast. I learned that on Saturday night in the worst possible way. However, I found that drunken moment most appropriate to discuss the Billy Corgan/Jessica Simpson love affair. Very passionately, it seems. Thank goodness my friends are not cruel enough to record conversations. Definitely a face palm moment.

Now that I have fully recovered and have decided to swear off of shots for a very long time, I hope you all have a great week! But before I go, I want to let you guys know that Melificent now has a fan page on Facebook. If you enjoy my blog, please become a fan by clicking this link – I’m trying to reach 100 fans by the new year!

Lovable Friday!

1. We are under contract!
1. We are under contract!

I’m happy to report that after 6 months of house hunting, we are finally under contract on a beautiful 3/2 home with a 2-car garage and pool (no, that is not the house pictured)! We got the great news yesterday and I haven’t stopped smiling like a magpie ever since. Granted, we still have to go through the inspection, finalize the application for our mortgage and close – but this is still really exciting for us. I’m not going to post any pictures of the house just yet, but I can tell you that it’s wonderful! I can’t wait to start decorating it and making it our own. Expect many more home decor posts from me in the next coming weeks and months. Best part is: I get to share the progression of our first home with all of you on this blog! Squee!

& just because we are one measly day away from Friday, here is a new Melificent mixtape: Happiness is a Warm Mixtape. This mix was inspired from songs that make my heart smile and make me feel squishy. Basically, like an equivalent of a warm and comfy blanket. I hope you all enjoy it and that it carries you through to the weekend with a little more bounce in your step or at least a little more love in your heart.

Happy Hump Day: Melvil Poupaud

Poupaud_Melvil

Decided to mix it up a bit this week by featuring someone that not everyone has heard of. Melvil Poupaud (such an unfortunate name) is a French actor that I discovered when watching the most amazing indie film, Broken English. He was so charming and perfect – loved him! Since then, I spotted him in a “blink and you’ll miss him” role in Speed Racer but he seems to be busy making a whole slew of foreign films. The hubs compared him to to a French Gavin Rossdale and I have to agree – I’m so painfully obvious 😉

Enjoy the new & fresh eye candy and if you haven’t already, check out Broken English!

People I want to cuss.

If you saw The Fantastic Mr. Fox, you saw what I did there.
I like ridiculous meme’s. So you get one today. Enjoy!

The rules:

1. Have NO life. – I am offended by this. I have a life thankyouverymuch. My Internet life is just more fun. So there!
2. Bold the names of guys you’d definitely sleep with.
3. Italicize the names of guys you might after a little persuasion.
4. Leave the guys who don’t do anything for you alone.
5. Put a question mark after the guys you’ve never heard of.
6. Strike the guys you wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole.
7. Add three more guys to the list.

Ready? Go!
