But your little wings are intertwined.

I have been neglecting - I know! It's been a pretty busy week thus far, and it's only halfway over.

Here's some fun:

I don't know if you all have heard yet, but Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 is indeed producing the next Motion City Soundtrack album!! Yay! This also means that Jesse will be recording in LA, and the preproduction actually starts pretty soon - though I will be dragging him back to this coast every once in a while. At the same time, I love visiting friends on the west coast, so I hope to get in a trip out there in my busy schedule. Plus, the demos are freakin' rad and I can't wait to hear what happens! They've definitely got a lot of good stuff brewing for this album and all it entails - stay tuned, and keep an eye on their tumblr, too! Even though he'll be away, I'm still looking forward to the upcoming months!

Yesterday after work we celebrated the impending summer by playing some bocce ball at a nearby park. It definitely got a little too cold near the end, but we're just sharpening up our skills. I can't wait until we're playing in a backyard with Bud Light Limes in hand. Also, for the winter months, Jesse got us an indoor bocce set. They're felt balls, and it's amazing. As in, all furniture and cats are in play. Eko and Keanu may or may not have moved the balls around or chased them while we threw them. It was hilarious.

Also, I just scored some awesome LAMB sneakers on a sale, and they are REVVING me up for the No Doubt shows this summer! First one being Bamboozle, of course. FACT: it's only one month away!!

Since they're called the "Music" sneakers, I'll most likely be wearing them to the shows, too. Aren't they sweet??

PS There were no April Fool's jokes in this post - promise!

I want you all over me like...

I spent about three hours in the past three days trying to get a package from DHL delivered. Sorry I'm not around my apartment on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday between the hours of 9-5! I have a job! Or else I couldn't afford what I ordered! Anyways, I'm over it, because I finally got it delivered (TO work) and I'm ecstatic!

Some backstory: since moving to New York, I've had to curb a lot of shopping expenses. There has hardly been a shopping splurge in the past two years. Before I moved to New York, when I was in college at BU and then for the year I lived in Rhode Island, I had an obsession with L.A.M.B. bags & clothing. Okay, the obsession remained well past the period I could afford it, but I tested my restraint and stayed away from L.A.M.B. online communities and didn't seek it out. The only time I acquired L.A.M.B. in the past two years was the amazing sample sales (once a year and items were up to 75% off!) and as gifts from le boyfs, who figured out what I dug.

Oh, by the way, you all know I love Gwen Stefani, right? Yeah, thus L.A.M.B.

I should get along with this story, no? So, I've been in a salaried job now for over a year, and I've become a great saver in all my frugality. I decided to take a look at some L.A.M.B. online last week, and I found an amazing hoodie that HAD TO BE MINE. The other reason excitement took over me was because it was 40% off! Take a looky look:

L.A.M.B. has always been about the details.

The rest of the hoodie: sweet, no?!

I'm pretty stoked, because it's unlike any other L.A.M.B. hoodies I have (I have a few!). I think it might be my favorite. And I have a cheetah print one, a red cashmere one, a victory hoodie, and I might - gasp - even adore it more than the free EXCLUSIVE hoodie that came in the goody bag at the first L.A.M.B. fashion show ever in 2005. (Yeah, I went to that!)

Too bad it's still about 80 degrees, not exactly hoodie weather. But it's made of a pretty lightweight fabric, so I'm ready to use it on some brisk summer nights and into the fall.

See? I got really excited.

Moving on, tonight I took Erica to get her first pedicure ever. It was the most hilarious experience for her. She went balls-out on that thing. She got the works, and her toes are beautifully neon orange. Not that I'm a pro - it was only my second adventure in pedicuring. But they're so relaxing, and I don't know what the crap it is, but I get a boost of self-confidence when I look down at my feet and see them all nice. I look down at my feet a lot on the commutes, otherwise I see creeps or get angry cause I'm witnessing creepy behavior.

The pedicure was in preparation for a wedding I'm going to this weekend, which I'm fully stoked about - more on that tomorrow probably...and all weekend. The hotel in Rochester has free wifi, so I'm bringing my computer and probably detailing you on some lovely ladies and our weekend pre-wedding debauchery.

In other news, last week I saw this picture of Penelope Cruz, and I totes dig her new bangs. So much so that I imagined myself with them. They remind me of Audrey Hepburn, and I love Audrey - and Penelope. I'm going back and forth on whether I should get them. I mean, no craziness with the hair before the wedding is always a rule, but I'm not getting hitched for a while. They'd definitely grow out by then. And they're kind of innocent and demure and cute. Still deciding. What do you think?

Also, I used to have regular to-the-eyebrows bangs:

(Also, that was taken the first week we lived here!)

So there's that. I'm gonna weigh that decision a little more longer before diving in. As I do with most decisions. Speaking of - that whole maybe-another-life-folder thing? Yeah...it's a go. And yeah, Sarah & I are stoked. Can't say much quite yet...but things are brewing, and it feels good.
