Lovable Friday: Augi Edition

I decided to forgo the usual Lovable Friday lineup to feature my hubs. His birthday is Sunday and I wanted to show him a little blog love. After all, who doesn’t appreciate a little Internet lovin’?

At this point, I can’t imagine my life without one Agustin Sanchez. We have been together as a unit for 9 years, and married for almost 3. We are almost too alike – in fact, people used to tell me our relationship wouldn’t work out because we were basically the same person. Well, we sure did prove them wrong. But somehow, despite having so much in common, we are still two very distinct people. I’m all about unicorns, rainbows and glitter – he is all about cynicism, guitars and brooding. And it works. Well.

Blog About My Dog(s)

The lovely Lori Todd made a tweet yesterday suggesting that all dog lovers out in the Twitterverse blog about their 4-legged-ones today and I just couldn’t resist. I mean, look at my cute little rascals up there. They are just too adorable!

We get a lot of questions regarding our dogs so I thought I would share a little about them here on the blog. They are both pure bred Boston Terriers. If I could recommend any breed to future dog owners, I would recommend Bostons and not just because I have such a wonderful pair. They are just so energetic, funny and intelligent. Their personalities are so clearly defined – I think so much more than other breeds. They are also so loving and friendly. Definitely great family pets and the perfect size for apartment living – which was our initial concern. I can honestly say that they make me laugh every day.

Happy Hump Day: Will Arnett

Who here misses the funniest show ever aired on television, Arrested Development? I know I do! And that is mainly due to some amazing writers and equally fabulous characters played by some talented actors. Cue Mr. Will Arnett. Who can forget his ridiculously awesome magic routine to the sweet tunes of Europe, c’mon, don’t deny it – you remember! Aside from the lovable Gob of TV past, Arnett is now starring in the new Fox series, Running Wilde, alongside Kerri Russell. For all those Wilde fans, make sure to spread the word, rumor has it that it may get canned! Having another axe sling down on Arnett and make him disappear from our televisions again would really be a bummer. But, let’s practice the power of positive thinking and send Will some good vibes as we oogle some of his best photos. Deal? Deal!

Bush – Tampa, FL @ The Ritz Ybor

Any of you that follow me on this blog surely know by now that Bush has been and continues to be one of my favorite bands. At times I am mocked for loving bands from my youth, but I can’t help it. I’m loyal. Once I loved you, I will always love you. Both a character flaw and strength, if you ask me.

As a "baby" Bush fan back in '97!

I’ve been lucky enough (along with all the other members of the Bush Army) to foster an online relationship with the guys in the band over the last year, which has made my love for the band grow more. They are so down-to-Earth and very appreciative of their fans. I had a wonderful time a couple of weeks ago at Epicenter enjoying their first gig together as a unit in 8 years from atop the stage, which was a completely surreal experience, but I think this past week’s show at Tampa managed to supersede all that.
