Yep, that’s about the way I feel right now. What I thought was some sort of heat exhaustion over the weekend has turned into this nasty flu-like sickness. High fever, body aches, headache. You get the picture. So I’ll be taking a little break today to try to recuperate. Hopefully I’ll start feeling a little better by tomorrow and be back as usual.
Today there is only one Lovable Friday item and that is because something absolutely magical happened yesterday afternoon. If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you are in the know, but for the remaining 2 people who do not, here’s the deal:
Bush is getting back together. Remember I posted about it here? Well, Epicenter Fest, the music festival hosting their first performance together since 2002, has been randomly giving away passes to the show (regular and VIP) through their own Twitter and Facebook accounts. I’ve obviously been entering, hoping to win so I can actually afford to go.
And yesterday afternoon…I won.
I flipping won.
I’m going to see Bush LIVE (in SoCal no less). I am in complete and utter shock. And since it was a pair of tickets, I invited one of my closest friends and Bush partner in crime since 1999, Bonnie. We are absolutely thrilled for the trip – I’ve always wanted to travel to see a band with girlfriends and here I am! I say girlfriends because not only am I going to share this experience with Bonnie, but also with about 19 other hardcore Bush/Gavin Rossdale fans that I have become friends with over the past year on Twitter and Facebook. We refer to ourselves as GRoupies (cute, right?) and are making the trek from all over the U.S. for this show.
All in all, it’s going to be one hell of good time.
Can life get any better? I don’t think so.
I love my life.

When thinking of the moment I would finally experience the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, I don’t think I could have possibly conjured up a better day than what really occurred on June 18th, 2010. This will be a long and detailed review of not only my personal experiences that day, but also of the park in general as well as attractions and shops. If for some reason you feel as if this will ruin your own eventual experience of the Wizarding World, please do not continue reading.

I promise my review of my amazing time at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is coming, but I need some serious time to put together all my thoughts about the whole whirlwind of a day (along w/ pictures and videos). So, to tide you over, here is a pretty awesome video of the opening day festivities from MuggleNet. What makes it extra awesome? The fact that yours truly as well as El Sanchez can be spotted at the 8 minute mark to the left of your screen as we enter the park to experience it fully for the first time!
I’ll be back tomorrow with the full deets!
Saturday I finally took the plunge and got my new short, hip haircut! I could not be happier – I feel so light and fresh and modern. I went to the Aveda Institute in Ft. Lauderdale and got my hair cut by my amazing friend, Alana. She’s been busting her butt to learn and perfect the art of hair and I am so pleased with what she did. I was a little nervous about the chunky highlights, but she was so confident that they would look great that those worries quickly dissipated. I feel like a new me and can’t wait to start the summer as a blonde! I’ll let you know if what they say is true and I do have more fun, although with the summer I have lined up already, I doubt I would have anything but!
Sunday night we had our first official party at the house for the season 3 premiere of True Blood! I don’t need to reiterate what a big fan I am of this show, so just suffice it to say that I was excited (& a little nervous about having people over for the first time in our new house). It was such a success! We made it a potluck since we are fridge-less until the 22nd and wow, did people make some yummy treats! Plus, we got some fun party favors and props that really made the night a lot of fun.
My personal favorite was my jug of Fang Banger – an alcoholic concoction of True Blood beverage, Sprite and Vodka. Thankfully, I woke up this morning hangover free, but I did have my fair share of these throughout the night (& I was not the only one).
I also thought the season opener was great and really held our attention (was it all the nice butt shots?) – I am both bummed and pleased that they seem to not be following the books at all, but we have yet to see what they have in store for us the rest of the season. I totally need to get used to those typical True Blood weekly cliffhangers again – how killer was last night’s??

Have a great week everyone!
