i was trying to figure out what i should do for my 100th blog, but i had absolutely no ideas. also, who really cares about 100 posts anyways? it probably should be a sign to me that i should better spend my time. tonight i went to ulta to get some shampoo and i came across this little gem:
big whoop, gabs. who cares, right? well i do, i care. since 2000, bonne bell dr. pepper chapstick has been my go-to chappy. i wear it everyday. in fact, some days it is all i wear (on my face i mean, pervies). since about 2001 i have been petitioning (aka asking my magic 8 ball) for bonne bell to come out with GLOSS versions of my lip savior. eight years later... BAM. i wasn't expecting this, i wasn't even looking for it, but i found it by accident and i bought every set that they had there. (gotta stock up in case of the apocolypse, duh) yeah, so... i think that this is a pretty good way to celebrate 100 posts. go me! long live my delicious lips!
it seems as though everyone but me is getting married these days. that's quite alright with me, weddings are big helpings of stress. leslie's wedding was really fun though. it was my first experience of being in someone's wedding video (three times!!), being an official bridesmaid, and having a bouquet. so so much fun. but really very hot. if it ever happens, i'm getting married in january.
mr and mrs sam mckenna. he is scotish, like for reals. he is from the uk. his accent is sooooo cool. and his family was top shelf. really nice people. the bridesmaids all got a pearl bracelet from england. woo hoo.
leslie and sam getting their smooch on by the themple.
my temple feet and tan gams. woo.
the ACE gang post wedding.
the temple, i love to see it.
sunny day....
me and chanel.... besties.
sam and les's candy bar. sweet stuff, eh?
our bouquets. and some cool pics of the bride and groom.
bubble blowing contest between bridesmaids. chanel goes:
while i go:
(i won.)
had time between wedding and reception. what happens when i have extra time? i can has photoshoot?
leslie and the maids of the bride.
sam and leslie's cake.
me and chan with my favorite part of the wedding... the bouquets we got to carry.
the bouquet looked like it had broccoli in it. it was so cool.
i was quite sad when i had to throw mine away today :( i wanted to keep it forever.
me and connor. he is old now. almost seventeen. shoot.
samantha got married! which is weird bc i have known her since she was 16. we've talked numerous times about boys and how we are never going to find the "right" one, how we are going to be spinsters/cat ladies together. oh, and members of the red hat society. but alas, those plans have been thwarted, as she has left me to reign in cat lady land alone. i forgive her, though. i got to help make stuff for the wedding, like crafts and cupcakes, which was really fun. sam is in amsterdam right now with her husband (still sounds weird) justin.
i got to oversee the frosting/sprinkling of the cupcakes. sam mixed up the beautiful colors.
sam and grandma betty, who is the patron saint of cupcakes. she made them all along with the frosting-from scratch. she really is a saint.
sam and i at the wedding. she had a beatle's themed wedding which, as far as weddings go, is a pretty awesome theme. it was fun to see the crafts that i helped with all on display. everything looked really amazing. she walked down the aisle to "all you need is love" which was pretty awesome too.
jessica, me, and erica. jessica is my sister for life bc she knows the joy of the jonai as i do. on friday night during the "rehearsal" dinner, sam, jess, and i were talking and uncle tracy asked sam who her favorite jonas is.
sam: nick! all the way.
jess: mine is joe.
(no, mine is joe. but i didn't say anything)
sam: ooohhhhh, gabby likes joe! you guys have to battle it out now.
jess: that's ok, i can have kevin instead. i'll take one for the team.
idk why, but that really meant alot to me. haha it sounds stupid, it probably is stupid, since none of us GET any of the jonai. but she so willingly let me have joe, no question. jess is pretty much the coolest, not just bc she takes one for the team, but bc she makes bank working at costco making pizzas in L.A. secretly, i am jealous of her pizza girl status.
well, pretty much the cutest bride and groom ever. this isn't a great representation of the photo since you can see my reflection in it, but i love this photo so much, i had to take a pic of it.
samantha and justin.
these past few weeks have been weird for me kind of. i'm saying goodbye to alot of stuff. i have like, five, maybe six girls that i consider to be in my inner circle. i am losing four of them within a month. sandee just moved with her family to utah. malia is moving to boston next month so her very smart husband can go to harvard. leslie is getting married on thursday. samantha just got married. it's an epidemic i tell you. people are leaving me all over the place. i don't know how to feel about it all, or if i should feel anything at all since there's little i can do to stop what is happening. lots of emotions attached to each person, and it just feels like a part of my life is ending when they leave. i'm getting older, and i can't stop it. the time to act like a grown up is now. and, truth be told, i HATE it more than anything.
gone are the days where summer meant no school, eating popsicles by the pool, and requesting my favorite song on the radio. not that i don't love my life right now, because i do, but sometimes i miss those days. there's no cure for getting older. i can't fight it, i might as well embrace it.
there's no point to this post, except to say... weren't they a darling couple? i miss them. how depressing is it that the tattoo on his arm which once read "winona forever" now reads "wino forever"?
perhaps they were just too good looking to last forever. it makes me sad for her. i don't know why i get sad over things like this, there's no point really. but to make myself feel better, i like to tell myself they're still together.
... this sleaze. can't help it. chuck bass is the sole reason i tune into gossip girl every week. (also, partly to see what blair is wearing.) he has the funny lines, he has the killer wardrobe, he is LOADED, and he kind of is a doll when he loves blair. male-skank aside, he's quite a dish. one question: where oh where did the signature scarf go? i miss it.
don't knock the bowtie, i LOVE the bowtie.
oh, it's "fun-in-the-sun" chuck, complete with fedora and swim trunks. wonder if he comes with a spray-on tan?
chuck in plaid? yum.
croquet is the new golf. there are so many awesome things about this outfit, i don't know where to begin.
chuck bass is the ultimate best friend. he pays for everything and if anyone messes with you, he pretty much ruins their life. good looking, rich, smarmy... what's not to like?
jonas brothers released their new single exclusively to members of their facebook fan group last night. the single is available tuesday may 12th for download so until then, this will have to do.
play it really loud and have a DANCE PARTY!! because dancing is good excercise and it makes you feel HAPPY!!
here are the lyrics for those who want to learn them before we drive around and listen to it in my car on repeat on tuesday (ahem chanel ahem):
