I'll Raise Your Death Cab for a Cutie

Image
By

I now have an awesome story for all you fine readers.  Once upon a time that was a girl named Jannifer (me) who was really bored and wasting time on Facebook.  I was scanning through my news feed (and FB stalking all you good people, come on you all know you do it too) when I came across a post from a local radio station.  It was a free giveaway for concert tickets to Death Cab for Cutie.  All you had to do was comment on their post.  What did I have to lose?  So I posted the following comment:

"Ooo, my husband and I were introduced to each other through friends at a Death Cab concert.  I love them for multiple reasons now!  Pick me. :)"

I kind of forgot about the contest.  However, almost a week later I received a Facebook message in my inbox from the radio station saying that I had won!  Hooray!  I think it was the smiley face in my message that got them.  It always pays to be nice.  I was so delighted, because I never win anything.  (My best bud Talena pointed out that everyone who wins something says that.  Now that I've actually won something, I'm not allowed to say that anymore.)  


On the day of the concert, Danny and I embarked on our (free) Death Cab for Cutie experience.  We had some weird moments during the evening (a woman with a Russian accent demanding we pay high amounts of money for parking, Danny coming down with the sniffles and so forth), but the actual concert was awesome.  Death Cab played a lot of songs that I love oh so very much, such as "I Will Follow You into the Dark", "Cath", "Titles and Registrations" and more.  Below is a sweet taste of the concert, enjoy Death Cab for Cutie performing "I Will Possess Your Heart".



The first time Danny and I saw Death Cab for Cutie we didn't say much to each other but simple hellos and polite get-to-know-you questions.  Oh how little did we know at the time what it would lead to.  We talked a lot more the second time around.

PS  Our seats were up in the balcony, which was pretty much empty.  But
I liked it that way, because I'm slightly anti-social (in the shy way, not in
the criminal mind way) and I preferred not being around the big crowd below.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

Birthday Week!

By
This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

8 Months!

By
Smiling at Daddy Showing Mr. Lion who's boss. Milestones: New food this month: Carrots, Peas, Oatmeal, Prunes, Green beans, Squash He's really interested in making different noises and sounds with his mouth. I feel like he is watching us intently trying to figure it out. ("It" meaning talking.) He hasn't started to crawl yet, but he has gotten up on all fours. He finally rolled from his back to his stomach. He's been rolling the other way for months now. He doesn't like being on his stomach, so he avoided rolling to that position for a really long time. First St. Patrick's Day, because that's a big deal. Likes: At the beginning of the month, he liked to grab my face and bring it really close to his and yell. Apparently, it is a fun game. His favorite toys are his toy guitar from his Aunt Michele, his toy car from his Aunt Katie and Uncle Tim and he really likes his stackable rings. The vacuum. It is a fascinating specime...
