Typical

Sometimes I wish people could have a little glimpse in to a typical day in our lives. Well, here you go. A very typical conversation between me and Chris.

    Do you have any ideas for grooms cakes?

 umm nope havent really thought about it.......i should prob start on that

 yeah i was just thinking about it and i dont have any good ones :(

 ill think of something creative haha

 I want a really cute wedding cake topper

and if our cake is like over the top fancy like the one I sent you earlier, we can just set the cake topper NEXT to the cake, not on top of it.

 A cake topper on the side? wouldnt that make it a cake sider? calling it a cake topper may be offensive, after all it would be awfully misleading..........ok , to call it a topper then would be an outright fucking lie..........do you want to be called a liar on your wedding day?

 This just made me laugh out loud...Fine, can we maybe have a cake sider instead of a cake 'topper'

 haha now you have a clearer picture of my constant dialogue that goes on in my head

 I was actually thinking 'how typical- we are so weird'

 depends on the scale

 what?

 the weirdness scale, on some scales we may fall into a different category

 ohh i though you were talking about the cake sider again

 nope i had moved on already but we can revisit if you want

 i will send you some weird ones i like'

 weird siders?

 

 what if i dont want to be alex?

• yes weird siders
• I dont want to be black, so Ill be alex, you be black

 jesus, seriously, when did you start this research

 HAHA I snorted when you said that

• and like 15 miins ago, Im on ETSY. Love etsy
• AHAHAHA Do you want to be a PANDA?!
• 

 you keep that up and the gig willl be up, they are gonna know you arent working anymore

OH MY GOD OR A MONEY I WANT TO BE A FUCKING MONEY

• *MONKEY
• haha, how dd I misspell MONKEY twice?

 haha the owls look a litttle stoned

 Fact. I dont want to be a stoner. I want to be a monkkkey

 maybe , the monkeys did look the best

 I love them! I am seriously cracky up looking at these little animal toppers/sidders

 so are we having a playful cake then?

 no i want a nice cake. these are just entertaining Maybe I can just carry it around with me all night. can you imagine me being drunk and having a little edible monkey of myself!?

I can see it now. best. night. ever.

 actually, if you were drunk, yes

 maybe we can leave it on the cake table until I have a few drinks, then I will carry my little monkey mini me around

itll be awesome

or you can have a playful grooms cake. if you want one.

 i might want a playful cake

 shark says whhat?

 so now im black? what are you trying to say?

 you pick the color of your shark!

You could be purple, or grey or white or whatever color you wanted

but black would make sense since you would be wearing a tux

 then why not a shark in a tux? that shark is from the hood

 You are baddd

Sharks dont live in the hood...

 you telling me there arent sharks in africa?

 So what, now africa is the hood?

 nope not now.....its always been that way

 original hood.

Dont worry, THATS not offensive

 it shouldnt be, its FACT. Get mad at that truth

i didnt make the rules

The Little Things

It never fails to amaze me how the little things in life seem to make the biggest difference. Something so small can turn your day around in a matter of seconds. & Every time it happens, I remember to be grateful for the little things.

For example, I always try to plan plan plan everything. But Monday I was super amped up on coffee, and spur the moment, decided that I wanted to go antique shopping. Normally Im not an antique-y kind of person. I think its beautiful, but not my style. Regardless, Chris braved Cotton City & Antiques at the Loop with me. (and we got some super cute stuff- I got 2 broaches & he got a decanter!) But as we were walking in I saw this very odd sculpture of a head hunter made of solid wood. Our conversation went something like this.
Me: *sees sculpture* *looks confused* Shit ass, look at that!
Chris: *puzzled look* Oh my GOD!
Me: Im not really sure what to think abou... whhhat the hell is that a penis?
Chris: Yes, Whitney, it has a penis... *pause* I LOVE THIS.
Me: I dont know what it is....
Chris: Its a head hunter... Hence the head in hand.
Me: Gotcha... dont know what I think about it...
Chris: I LOVE IT. I think we should turn our office into an art gallery!!
Me. ... um... okay? Do you want this for your birthday?
Chris: YES! If I had $200 to blow right now, I would do it right now.

Okay, so at least I know what to buy Chris for his birthday. I have to admit, I was definitely a conversation piece. We spent the rest of the day talking about how we are going to turn our office into an art gallery, complete with wood floors and pin spot lighting & red paint. Over the top, you might say? Yes. Definitely over the top. But we are weird so who cares. It was also fun spending hours on ebay and online searching for different weird art that we like. Even if we never even buy one piece of art, it was really fun spending the day day dreaming about things we could do. :) Plus it was good to be reminded that I dont have to be so anal about planning things. Sometimes the best times are when we are just hanging out together.

Also on Monday I got some really awesome boots...

& Speaking of shopping... I think this is the first time in my life that I actually ENJOY shopping. Normally I run from the dresses, I hate(d) trying them on. They never fit right. BUT. Yesterday I got a beautiful Calvin Klein nude colored dress that I am seriously in love with.

I actually feel good about myself in this. And I was excited about going to work today because I got to wear my amazing new dress. ((This dress is totally replacing my LBD. This is a new 'go to')) 

Its kind of funny how a new dress or a single comment or something so small and really insignificant can completely change your day.

I hope everybody has a great day today!

P.S. I heard this song on pandora this morning & my heart smiled. Hope yall like it too...
