Happy Hump Day: Gael Garcia Bernal

sp6566b2

I love this pint-sized Mexican boy! Known for being director, Alfonso Cuaron’s, golden boy, he’s been in such great indie films as Amores Perros and Y Tu Mama Tambien and more recently The Motorcycle Diaries and The Science of Sleep. Besides being an amazing actor, he also just became a new daddy to baby Lazaro earlier this year! So life has definitely been busy for Gael (such a great name) and it seems like it is not letting up – according to IMDB, he is slated to be in over 5 more movies in the next couple of years. You definitely won’t see me or my eyes complaining about that one! Enjoy, ladies!

10 Things

Make a list of 10 random/weird/funny facts about you that your readers would know nothing about.

3854133756_5508be4eae_o

(1) I tend to memorize things rather than learn them. Great talent to have while in school, not so great once you are out and trying to apply those skills. This is why I am stellar at remembering song lyrics and believe School House Rocks is amazing.

(2) I suffer from situational anxiety, that is, I tend to get anxious when in a “different setting” that is out of my comfort zone. I became depressed while living in Pensacola, I threw up on my first day of work, I could barely function when I went back to grad school this past year, etc. It’s pretty debilitating and frustrating because I wish I could turn it off like a light switch. I believe change is good, but my mind and body apparently do not.

(3) Instead of having my (appropriate) boyband stage when I was in grade school with New Kids on the Block, I opted to go through it when I was 18 with *NSYNC. I will not divulge how much money, time & energy I spent on those 5 guys. Still love you, Lance!

(4) After spending the majority of my life masking the fact that I am a huge dork, I am so happy that I have become comfortable enough with myself to embrace it. It feels so nice to be able to finally be crazy, nerdy, ridiculous me!

(5) I absolutely adore meeting new people and spending time with others. I am a total people person. My husband always tells me to stop making new friends, but I can’t help it. Ever since I was a little girl, I wasn’t happy unless I was with my friends. Not much has changed.

Weekend Highlights

sat01I was able to rest up enough to doll myself up for my cousin’s wedding on Saturday night. I wanted to make sure I didn’t look as terrible as I felt, so I got my trusty hairdresser to make me look pretty. I wanted a simple updo, but I’m pretty sure she doesn’t know how to do it if it isn’t fierce. So I got myself a pretty rockin’ do to go along with my awesome dress (it had pockets!). Thankfully, I started feeling better as the day progressed and by the time the wedding rolled around, no one could tell that I had been on my death bed for several days. Ten points for Meli! The wedding was gorgeous and my cousin made a beautiful bride. The reception was at the Epic Hotel, which totally lives up to its name. Her cocktail hour took place on the pool level, which boasted a stunning view of Downtown Miami. But my favorite part of the wedding? The photobooth sitting outside of the reception!!! I am completely obsessed with photobooths so having one I can play with for free made me feel like a little kid in a candy shop! The hubs and I were even brainstorming on how to make our own! How bad ass would it be to have one in our home?? Amazing, me thinks.

I pretty much love vintage anything, so when I stumbled upon these engagement photos on the lovely Jeune Marie blog, I nearly exploded! How flipping cute are these??? It definitely makes me wonder why I didn’t think of this idea for our own engagement pictures – rats! [Read more…]

Well, I guess the stress I had been feeling the past few days really took it’s toll on me because my body has decided to welcome the month of October with complete misery! I have some pretty intense body aches, a phlegm-y cough, a headache and a fever. Doesn’t that sound like fun? Seriously though, I really hope it’s not the flu – or worse, H1N1. 🙁

So, naturally, I’m not feeling up to blogging but I’ll be back tomorrow with a lovable Friday list – promise!
