A friend recently asked me "So, what are you obsessed with these days?" It got me to thinking.... is there anything that I am actually "obsessed" with or even half way really excited about? After mulling it over I came up with a few things and thought that I would share with you, my lovely bloggy community!
1) Tegan & Sara. I heard them for the first time late summer at Red Rocks. They opened for FUN, and they were amazing. It's been a very long time since I heard a band live and immediately loved them. They are reminiscent of the 80's but in a very, very good way. Poppy, catchy, singable, keep you going on the treadmill fun. Check them out. You won't be sorry.
2) Thrift shopping. But not like Goodwill thrift shopping, more of the higher-end consignment variety. There is nothing like finding a killer Marc Jacobs dress second hand for $50. If I didn't buy it at Gap, Banana, or Target, it's more than likely I found it while scouring the racks of a tiny consignment shop. It takes time, but I love it. Hey some people spend a lot more for therapy. Check out the funky lipstick shirt I picked up just today. Not for everyone, but I couldn't resist.
3) Dashe Zinfandel. A year ago my husband gave me a membership to the little vineyard for our 13th wedding anniversary. Every six months I get a shipment of there delicious wines. No I'm not going to go on and on about tannins, nose, legs, and chocolate undertones. I don't know a flipping thing about wine, except what I like and I like this wine. Hard to get in most places, but California friends, check them out.
4) De Steeg Brewing: It's a little microbrewer off of Tennyson. I am not a beer snob. Nope. I am rather fond of Coors Light,(I know, that says so much about me, right?) but there were actually several beers I enjoyed there on a recent date night with my husband. I had some sort of pumpkin ale, and lord knows what else, but it was a blast. The place was packed and the people were super friendly... I can't wait to go back!
5) Porn. Okay not really. But close. The Miley Cyrus video. A couple reasons. I hate to admit it, the song is catchy, and it has become stuck in my head, on repeat in the middle of the night on more than one occasion. Also she is licking a hammer. A hammer. Who does that? It doesn't even make sense. And she is naked, on a wrecking ball, which also doesn't make any sense. At. All. Her poor parents.

I love your list. I think it's a good question to ask ourselves from time to time: what are we obsessed with? Me - Urban Decay eye pencils, oh wait. Maybe I'll write a blog post about the things I'm obsessed with! And yes, ever since I became a parent, when I see something like Miley Cyrus, I think first, "Her poor parents," and second, "How do I make absolutely sure that my kids are never, ever, ever doing that?"
ReplyDeletelol. the miley cyrus review sound hilarious... i will have to check that out...
ReplyDeleteI love thrift shopping! Well, for home decor and my kids' clothing. None of their clothes are new, it seems. I've never done it for myself - but I think you have inspired me to start! and ps your hair is looking SO good!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm not obsessed about obsessions but I do enjoy reading the comment section of my favorite blogs. That's how I ended up here. I really liked your comment on JJ's The Fifty Factor. Oh beer - I have favorites but I would not call it an obsession.
