DID I MENTION I GOT TICKETS FOR PAUL McCARTNEY TODAY?!? Seriously.so.excited.
this is my first attempt at anything like this. *hopefully* he'll like it. i'm sure he will.
The artist who sings the song is Paul Thorn and the song is titled "When The Long Road Ends". He was the opening act for Huey Lewis last year and he was amazing. So grab a tissue, and get ready for baby Erin and Pat pictures :)
because you're awesome. because you let me blame things on you that have completely nothing to do with you :) because you like to buy ice cream stamps. andddd because i love jason mraz (and steely dan!)
i'm sick of the rain. i feel like i haven't seen the sun in a billion days. i've been exploring music on my ipod that i sometimes forget is on there. and sometimes i feel like brandon boyd is inside my brain. enjoy.
Will I ever get to, to where it is that I am going
Will I ever follow through with what I... with what I have planned
I guess it's possible, that I have been a bit distracted
And the directions for me are a lot less in demand.
In demand.
Will I ever get to where I'm going
If I do will I know when I'm there
If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah
Would I even care
I would.
I take a look around, it's evident the scene has changed.
And there are times when I feel improved, improved upon the past.
And there are times when I can't seem to understand at all.
And yes it seems as though I'm going nowhere really fucking fast.
Nowhere fast.
Will I ever get to where I'm going
If I do will I know when Im there
If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah
Would I even care
I would.
I would.
I would.

If any of you are concert whores (or man-whores, I don't discriminate :) like me, you should definitely check out Livenation today and see if there's any shows playing near you that you would like to attend. Today only they are offering tickets to ALL amphitheatre shows with NO SERVICE CHARGE (!) This made me a happy girl.
See, sometimes being a slacker pays off. I didn't buy my 311 ticket when everyone else did so I picked one up today. Saved myself some cash. Woot.
i hate when i see cool things online that are begging me to purchase them. dear awesome stuff, i don't have the money right now. lay off, alright? but seriously... i need some of the following:
1. Mean Cards Breanne posted a link to these on her blog and most of them made me laugh. Maybe I'm twisted. Whatevs. They still are awesome.
2. These shirts After cleaning out my closet yesterday, I realize I do not need another freaking tshirt. In other news, project concer-tshirt-quilt shall be underway soon. I'm excited/nervous. I don't wanna jack it up. I do, however, have some pretty sweet sewing skills. Consider that your fact of the day.
3. Kindle So the other night at Shawn's I told him to ask his mom if she wanted to borrow some Jodi Picoult books that I had finished reading. He said he'd ask her, but she has a Kindle so she might be too cool for my old fashioned paper books. Silly me asked what the heck Kindle was. I should have known better :) Mr. Chase retrieved Nancy's Kindle from upstairs and I immediately fell in love with it. Like I've-gotta-order-that-when-I-get-home kind of love. The thing is ... Shawn's a liar. He told me they cost "like, I don't know, a hundred bucks?". No, try like FOUR hundred bucks dude. It's all good. I still haven't decided if I'll get one in the near future or if I would prefer to stick to my paperbacks. We shall see. But I will tell you this, if I end up getting one, I am fo sho' getting this skin for it.
This concludes my blog post. I'm off to take a shower and enjoy the sunshine (maybe?) before it starts raining again. Seriously, the rain has GOT to stop.
i have a serious crush on michael cera and i'm not afraid to admit it. i'm not exactly sure why i am so drawn to this silly dude, but i am. wait, it may be the fact that he's super silly. i'm just saying. i LOVE arrested development (if you have not watched this show you need to. i'm demanding it). george-michael bluth makes me pee my pants. juno? i don't know. the scene near the end when paulie climbs into the hospital bed beside juno?!? i bawl my eyes out everytime. superbad. fantastic. i could go on. but i'm kinda sleepy :)
i had fully intended on making cupcakes to celebrate michael cera's 21st bday but alas, we had no cake mix. birthday brownies are not the same :( tomorrow. tomorrow i will make cupcakes to celebrate michael cera's birth 21 years and 1 day ago. yes, yes i will.
i'm so ready for battle studies to be out already. bummed about no cruise, but the anticipation for a new cd with new music and soon to be new favorites is killing me.
i'd probably jump too. let's be honest ... melissa would probably find some way to make me do it ;) so on that note, here's a bunch of pictures to catch you up on what i've been up to...
mr. shawn and mr. chico. my two dudes. you see, there's a new puppy in the chase/hough/vieira household and chico has not really been a fan. most nights he's downstairs with us snuggled up on the couch watching weeds and the office. he's pretty much my favorite (don't tell romeo or rufus!)
this is a lame attempt at trying to take a picture of the new pup, rufus. we titled this picture "the ghost of rufus past". he would not sit still long enough for me to get a decent shot. oh well, next time i'll try again. shawn tells me he's a cockamo. either he's making it up and he's a total perv, or that truly is the name of the breed. ok, update. i googled it and he's not a liar. eskimo cocker mix.
we thought that maybe if shawn rubbed his belly he'd stay still. not so much. apparently he LOVES getting some belly action, look at the legs go! i love every inch of that furry little dude. rufus, not shawn ;)
i took my own puppy dog for a walk. actually, she took me. this girl LOVES her walks. we can't even say the word around the house unless we fully intend on putting her little apparatus on (yeah, i said it melissa) and hitting the pavement.
i'd like to think this error was made on purpose, although i highly doubt it was. my view from the dunkin donuts drive-thru one morning. makes me giggle.
dear baby kegerator,
i love you. your ability to not only chill but also dispense my beer is fantastic. let's be friends.
love,
e.
dear baby brother of mine,
sorry i forgot to TURN THE TAP OFF when i got that last cup of brewski. my bad. also, sorry for laughing and walking away when i realized a nice pile of foam/beer was on your floor. oops :)
love,
your most favorite sister ever
you know it's gonna be a good party when bj is shirtless and you haven't even been at the house for a half an hour yet. oh boy. note the light pouring in from the windows.... it wasn't even 6 yet. the party was for the ufc fight ... which started at 10pm. yeah, that's how we roll.
so here's the deal. patty cakes wants to have a party. patty cakes doesn't cook. lucky for him, he has a big sister that loves him soooo much she'd play chef and keep his friends happy. ladies and gents, i present to you my creation ... "milf wings". the original recipe came from bj's mom. let's just say that she was the dream woman of pretty much every boy in our neighborhood. at some point i told everyone there that they could thank bj's mom for these delicious chicken wings and then our friend courage started calling them the milf wings and it stuck. later on courage also told shawn that "erin makes pretty good wings ... for a white girl". that.made.my.night.
the pictures blur as the night progressed. i don't know whyyy something like that would happen *coughcoughkegerator* i heart pat's shirt.
me. shortly before the "pleassssse-unlock-your-car-so-i-can-go-sleep-in-it-until-you're-ready-to-leave" begging began.
about a week ago i made a list of 25 things things i'd like to do before i turn 25 (02.06.11) and read at least 25 books was on my list. i finished vanishing acts in two days last week. finished the tenth circle and started change of heart last night. woot. i'm open to suggestions for reading materials because at the rate i've been going, i'll have all of picoult's read by the end of the month. or week :)
a page from my "25 by 25" book. *gasp* i've been scrapping again lately. well, trying to. it feels good to play with paper and pens and aNhesive and ink. and then my basement flooded and my scrapping was put on hold. lame.
my crazy holographic elvis puzzle. i don't suggest anyone ever make a holographic puzzle. it made me want to pull my hair out. it does look pretty sweet "in motion" though.
and all of this ends with my shopping trip with mom yesterday when i picked up some *sweet treats* for a friend. i almost peed my pants. i wonder if holland oates know these are in production?!?
well that's all for now. i have a list of things i SHOULD be doing. we'll see how that goes. happy thursday, yo!
but until then i'll leave you with this. it makes me wonder if i could make it a whole day without talking. or texting. or using the internet. experiment time? not today. but sometime soon.
