Orcas

It’s tough to believe I didn’t share this with you 2 seconds after I got home from Labor Day Weekend 2012, but let’s just say I was a little tired. We had the privilege of going to our friend Danny’s cabin on Orcas Island last year, and I was going through photos and found all of these gems and am dreaming of going back.

This cabin has been in Danny’s family since the 1930’s. You step onto the property and you step back in time…It really makes me wish my Grandpa kept around relics like this instead of Costco cottage cheese containers (that’s a very unpretty story for another time).

Old Wood Stove that we cooked on all weekend.

Yes. The New Science of Skin and Scuba Diving.

We spent the whole weekend on the beach, kayaking, crabbing, bonfire-ing, and relaxing with no cell service. Hands down one of the best weekends ever.

I forgot to mention there are tons of Starfish on the beach.

Throwback Thursday: One of your favorite 90’s One-Hit Wonders!

I must admit, this video was the inspiration of Thirsty Throwback Thursdays on the blog. I was listening to this song, getting all philosophical with it…Because you know, “Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end.”

Then I remembered the MUSIC VIDEO. I went back and watched it, and had a bit of a wtf moment. What? He can’t find her? WHERE IS HIS CELL PHONE?!? Why is she wearing a weird white pleather lab coat? Look at that slicked hair…OMG!!! ROLLER LIP GLOSS!

It was just too much. I have karaoke’d this song to close down the bar, I have listened to it probably on repeat before high school graduation, I was mulling over playing it at our wedding at some point (I know, gross. Good thing I’m thinking this through). Then the video is just so…90’s.

BUT to be real, I will probably be secretly listening to this song (only on philosophical occasions though) for the next 50 years.

So, Cheers to you, Semisonic. I did, however, own your CD (cd, haha!!!) and like the other songs on it. Singing in my Sleep anyone?

Until next week…

Introducing…Thirsty Throwback Thursdays! (AKA Triple Threat Thursdays)

Ok, as if I don’t have enough “T’s” in there…Let me try to explain…

A classic example of a thirsty throwback: Me and Jordan's birthday party in 2009, after we were really thirsty and had too many drinks...A special Thanks to Morgan and Alexis for still being friends with us...

Last week I was thinking it might be fun to add a weekly “throwback” video of stuff that makes me happy for one reason or another…this will probably turn into a huge compilation of 90’s music videos.

BUT besides the concept of Throwback Thursday there is also Thirsty Thursday! AKA the time you are ready for your weekend to start and at 3PM you usually need a beverage of the alcoholic persuasion.

There it is. You can now come here every Thursday for either:
A.) Heartwarming, hilarious, ridiculous, and/or stupid youtube videos.
B.) A boozy beverage recipe.

Could anything be better???

So, as our Inaugural Thirsty Throwback Thursday, I give you this:

You may be asking yourself, “What the f*ck is this? I’m out.” Don’t worry!!! It’s just a school project video from Jordan’s college days (with a few minor changes from our friend Dylan)…and the reason I chose this as my first video post is because it is JORDAN’S BIRTHDAY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDAN! I Love You and can’t wait for all of the fun stuff we have planned this year, like GETTING MARRIED! And yes, I secretly watch this video from time to time because I think it’s the funniest thing ever…
