Beyond Our Skies

We did a photo sesh with Beyond Our Skies, an OKC area band that we are managing. It was so much fun! Afterward we got to watch them practice their set, and I'm so excited to see them in concert again. For such a young bunch, they are amazing.

Check out a preview photo from their photo shoot!

Have a holly, jolly Christmas

Today was decorate-for-Christmas day in the Ladymon household. 'Tis a joyous day, and one of much sneezing, as we spent half the morning dusting off snow globes and other glassware.

As you can see, I like to overload my tree. I own many, many ornaments and a very small tree. Someday, I shall own a large tree. I will be in Christmas heaven. Unfortunately, I stink at all things ribbon related, so I had to call my Mama to come save me. Thanks Mom!

This year we are having a very Scottish Christmas, complete with piper Santa and his own little dancer to keep him company.

My dear friends, I would like you to meet Helga the Nutcracker. She was given to me by one of my favorite people, and if you look closely at where the actual nutcracker is located you can see how she created hours of giggles for us. :)

Epic

To say yesterday was epic (and exhausting) would be an understatement.

First, we had Harry Potter day at work, because we are amazing. We plastered the office with "Wanted: Bellatrix Lestrange" posters, put Moaning Myrtle pictures in the bathroom, created a Marauder's Map, and much more. As Luna, I had my Converse hanging from the ceiling. :) We also had a large number of awesome Harry Potter themed treats.

Second, we had home-cooked food for the musicians at the Close Your Eyes, The Word Alive, Underoath, A Day to Remember show last night. Thank goodness we got to hang out backstage and watch from inside the fence, because the venue was sold out and 1900 people is just too dang many for me to handle! Let me tell you, the guys from Close Your Eyes, The Word Alive, and Underoath are sweethearts and more people should bring them home-cooked goodness.

There's so many little things that interest me about yesterday that I could share, but they'd probably just bore anyone else :)

In other news, I've already started planning my birthday. It will actually be a week-long extravaganza if I get my way, and it will start with the 1/21 We Came As Romans, Woe, Is Me, and The Word Alive show in Dallas. I'm already excited!

Thoughts from today

I still cry easily. When I say I have thick skin, I'm totally lying.

Some people are jerks for no reason.

Every now and then, losing your voice can come in handy.

I love friends who are always ready with a hug.

I have the best coworkers anyone could ask for.

Baking cookies is a good way to work out frustration.

I didn't eat dinner. Whoops.

Things I love right now

 

The Remington Curling Wand has literally changed my life. As someone with hair that is between wavy and curly, I have a lot of weird hair days. After I use my diffuser in the morning, I wrap a few strands of hair on both sides of my face around this lil baby, and my hair looks like I actually took time to fix it!

Best. Boots. Ever. The Mossimo Kaden boots from Target ($34.99) are ah-mazing. They look great with skirts and skinnies, and they are my go-to footwear for concerts. I always get compliments! They also happen to be the most comfortable boots I've ever owned, which is a definite plus!

With the onset of fall, my skin went into dry-out mode. St. Ives Intensive Healing is the only body moisturizer I've EVER found that is lightweight, non-greasy, and lasts longer than 10 minutes. It's a great find! I have my huge pump bottle at home and a small bottle for on the go.
