Happy Father's Day to this guy.  

Can't keep my paws off him!

....especially in his new grilling apron, compliments of wifey.

Confession

(Let's go for two posts in one day!)
Jake bought me a pair of black glittery TOMS. Before becoming a Toms owner, I thought they were one of the most hideous fashion trends and would refer to them as orphan shoes...actually, I still do. They straight up look up like something for a poverty-stricken Asian child or a polygamist. Granola! Even when Jake gave them to me he could tell by the look on my face that I wasn't leaping for joy. But, they were comfy and I didn't want to hurt Jake's feeling after he had been so thoughtful, and they are "trendy," so my feet and I made the decision to keep my orphan shoes knowing I'd risk looking homeless when I wore them. My only comfort was knowing they wouldn't look as horrible as Crocs. Gag! But now after wearing my Toms a few times? I LOVE THEM!! I proudly announce I have changed my ways and will now accept Toms as superior shoes...or at least only my black glitter ones. It's like wearing slippers all day. They are so darn comfy! And the best part is they don't even even become a sweaty shoe during the day like most slip-on shoes can be. I don't know how they do it...it's a mystery. I refuse to think I look granola in these babies. They are snazzy! Blingin' orphan here...now I just need one of those pointy rice paddy hats.

Groovin'

Ah, music. Oh, how I adore you! Pandora...you are my favorite. No, seriously. You are wondrous and my first born child may have to be named after you as a tribute to your greatness. You know my likes and we rarely quarrel, but when we do have a disagreement because you play a song by Beyonce or Adele because you're retarded and thought it should be thumbs up, I correct your wrongs and you instantly show kindness by replacing it with Florence or Imogen Heap to brighten my day. You don't even put up a fight. It's like you know me. We are so BFF's for life...at least as long as you're free. During my recent music journeys over the past few months, I've come across these little tunes of yumminess that I now want to share:

"My Body" - Young the Giant
This one is so flippin' catchy! When the chorus kicks in, I instantly have the urge to start bouncing around with my arms up in the air doing the Numa Numa dance...and that may or may not have been done already in my kitchen one evening while Jake just starred at me. (He loves those moments.) But my body didn't quit...I want more!

"Gold on the Ceiling" - The Black Keys
This is a recent find, and what an "ahhhhhh!" status it is! It's sassy, bluesy, rocky, and actually goes great to the Boot Scootin Boogy dance moves when I picture it in my mind. Saddle up partner! I think The Black Keys may be a new band I'll have to start paying attention to...which I admit I've only discovered them because of my Twilight Soundtracks. See what good things come from Twilight! They just need to feature Taylor Lautner in their videos...all of them.

"Somebody That I Used to Know" - Gotye
Most random hippie song! What the fuss...the little xylophone thingy?! Ooh my heavens, it's so strange that I'm in love with it. Chinese sound? Cowboy sound? How about both. I confident I've added to at least 1 million views out of the "mind-bottling" 242 million. How can Cheyenne say this was one of her top 3 worst songs ever?!

"Dance Yrself Clean" - LCD Soundsystem
First off, this song is 9 minutes long. YES!!! Just know as soon as it starts you will most likely think WTF, but I promise if you can get through the first 3 minutes of the song, the rest is "golden" (a new word I've been introduced to), or as a fellow YouTuber phrased it best on his comment, "you will lose your shit." It goes from granola to hot babe in Nike high tops and you won't even see it coming!...unless you watch it fifty times like I have. Robots? David Bowie? I don't know but it's just awesome.

"Son's Gonna Rise" - Citizen Cope
Now that's what I'm talking about! This is one that I would be be loudly woo-whooing to if I got to see this performed live. House of Blues with this song? Gahhh! Loves the minor blues tune and the Santana-like guitar that kicks in. Best line in the song, "Got this woman in the backseat, she my wifey"...at least that's what it sounds like and therefore my favey.
