Lovable Friday!

lovablefriday1I don’t know about the rest of you, but I really needed this Friday more so than I have in a long time! I am welcoming today with open arms!

1. Lela Rose Wedding Gown
1. Lela Rose Wedding Gown

Oddly enough, I received The Knot’s Florida Edition magazine last night. I haven’t been a bride for over 2 years so seeing it in my mailbox came as a shock. Also pretty telling as I’ve been struggling internally with my future career options (quarter life crisis?). While looking through the magazine, this gown by wonderful designer Lela Rose caught my eye. How adorable is it? Unfortunately for you brides to be, it has one hell of a price tag, but it’s definitely nice to look at!

With love, from me to you.

I never would have thought that I would be the one putting together our Valentine’s Day dinner, but lately I’ve learned to expect the unexpected! The hubs and I are pretty mellow people when it comes to Valentine’s Day. If you all remember, last year we spent the day at IKEA shopping and eating ice cream followed by a photoshoot. This year, we are planning on having a little picnic at a nearby park and then following it up that night with a romantic dinner for two at home.

Happy Hump Day: Chris Evans

Chris_Evans

I have to admit, I don’t know much about this guy except that his body is downright ridiculous. The hubs made me sit through the Fantastic Four (he has something I like to refer to as “Alba-vision”) and even though the movie was about as terrible as watching paint dry, I could not complain after laying my eyes on Chris Evans. And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one that feels this way especially after searching for photos for this post. I noticed a certain trend with all the photos found: topless.  So these will definitely be in the true spirit of hump day. 😉

I would do anything for love…

But I won’t do that.

I still refuse to believe that this is true, but I guess there is no denying after Ms. Simpson tweeted this lovely picture last week. I just do not understand it. And I don’t think I want to. Being a huge Pumpkins fan (not to mention Corgan fan), I just felt the need to address how horrified I am by this whole situation here on Melificent. I stumbled upon a blog the other day that put it better than anyone ever could: “He is a musical genius, she is a musical retard.” What could they see in each other? What do they have in common? This has totally slapped me in the face.

I attempted a break up with Mr. Corgan, but I don’t really know if I can. I honestly don’t think it’s possible. I have a freaking tattoo on my flesh, people. So all I can hope is that this pairing will not affect his music or writing. So far, the two tracks off the epic Teargarden by Kaleidyscope have been great so I’m crossing my fingers that this track record will continue. I’m also trying to ignore the whispers that they are recording a song together. I think our split may have to be permanent if that ever hits airwaves. I chose to ignore the whole Tila Tequila thing, but this is really pushing my buttons.

It also makes me sad that he may believe he needs something like this whole Jessica fiasco just to attract attention to his new music. Music should speak for itself, and his always has (at least to my ears), so using a cheap publicity scheme just seems so below Billy and the Pumpkins. I’m hoping some witch cast a spell on him, causing him to forget everything about himself, because honestly that would be the only excuse I would accept at this point.

Snap out of it, Billy!

Golden Globes

Sorry I’m so late to the game, everyone, but I had one hell of a Monday!
Thankfully, I had the day off from work but the higher powers that be decided it would be best if I didn’t take it as a day of rest.

My Mustang crapped out on me as I was leaving the gym for my usual cardio workout. Turns out I needed a new battery and I was lucky my brother-in-law also had the day off and was able to help me. The ‘Stang is open for business once more!

Anywho, that would be why I was so absent from the Internets, but I really wanted to post about the Globes!

– I was so happy that Michael C. Hall won for his category. Not only was it an amazing season for Dexter, but it had to feel great for him after battling cancer. It really broke my heart to see him in that little black beanie. I love my little serial killer!
– Ricky Gervais did a great job hosting. He really cracked me up. So inappropriate. So right.
– How annoying was Chloe Sevigny? I couldn’t stand how she continuously complained about her dress the entire night. First to NBC about the rain ruining her gown and then to that poor man that helped her up to the stage after he stepped on and ripped it. It’s a freaking dress, honey. Probably one you don’t even own so shut your trap.
– Julia Roberts was tanked from the moment she got out of her limo. Excellence.
– Is Avatar really that good?
– Drew Barrymore‘s acceptance speech was adorable.
– I love this man.

But now on to what’s really important: the gowns!
