This week I figured I would feature Robin Thicke. Some people didn't even know who he was until Blurred Lines came out this summer. He's been around for awhile now.

Well, here is his newest single, which I'm not a huge fan of the rap parts, but I really like the chorus. That part I turn up real loud.

Give It 2 U (Explicit) by Robin Thicke feat. 2 Chainz & Kendrick Lamar



Here is an old favorite of mine. And by old, I mean 2009 ish. It is actually Leighton Meester's song feat Robin Thicke. I have LOVED this song ever since I first heard it.

Somebody To Love by Leighton Meester feat. Robin Thicke



Happy Monday friends!

It was my friend Katie's birthday on the 2nd, so we all decided to party it up together the night before. We met at Uptown Tavern and did dinner and drinks. A few of us played pool.



We walked down to Bar Abilene for a while and ended up at Bar Louie to end the night. It was great fun with some of my most favorite people.

Today was, our family friend,, Gina's graduation party. They have lived next to my parents since Gina was in diapers and I used to babysit Gina, too. It was so fun to see all her pictures and I was so honored when she asked me to take her Senior pictures as well.

I took the day off of work and headed with my sisters and Hailey out to the Mall of America for the Big Time Rush meet & greet & performance that they were doing. Of course, those guys are SO awesome and they always remember us and Hailey. They are just some of the best artists I have ever met. They are ALWAYS nice, polite, huggy and just really down to earth.

We celebrated Father's Day by eating lunch at Crave. The day before (on the 15th) while we were running errands, we went to Best Buy to get Wayne his Father's Day gift a/k/a an iPad Mini and guess what? We both ended up getting one. Haha!



Aren't they just the cutest!?



Happy Father's Day to ME!!!

We had a horrible storm. There were branches/trees down and to make matters worse, the freaking power went out. Of course it had to go out while I was busy cleaning house, because why? Oh yea, Green Grandma was coming less than 2 days later. Ugh. Wayne was at work, so Hailey and I made the best of it that night. We did sleep at our house Friday night, but then headed to my parents house Saturday morning.

We headed out to St. Paul to celebrate Dave's Belated 60th Birthday. He is the Dad of our good friend, Adam. I've mentioned him on this little blog of mine before. He has been battling cancer for about a year and a half. We had a benefit for him last June. He definitely still has his ups and downs, but he's such a fighter and is hanging in there.



Sunday, June 23, 2013 through Sunday June 30, 2013

Green Grandma arrived to spend 2 weeks with all of us in Minnesota. Stay tuned for a separate post on this, as well as Hailey's real birthday and her party.

Ok, who watches this show and why did no one tell me how GREAT it is? Ok, there were a few people that did ask if I watched Chicago Fire and when I said no, they immediately told me I NEEDED to. 

So I did. I mean I am.

I watch it via ON DEMAND (again...LOVE IT!) I started it about a month ago and watched the first 3 episodes and then I was going to wait for Wayne cause I thought it was a show he would like and we could watch together. He did watch the first 3 episodes and I think he liked it OK, but with his schedule we can barely keep up with the shows we already DO watch together and it was just too hard to add another one. 

 

Honestly, I got too impatient, so I just went ahead and watched it without him over this last weekend. Seriously, SO SO good, and in my defense, I want to get through the 1st season before season 2 starts on September 24th. As of today, I am through episode 14 of 24 and am hoping to finish it by the end of this week.

It did throw me for a loop in these last couple episodes (13 & 14) when I thought one of my favorite main characters was going to leave the show and I was actually contemplating not watching it anymore. Cause really, what's the point without him, right?

I mean, who doesn't love Taylor Kinney. I first laid eyes on him in 2010 when he appeared on Season 2 of Vampire Diaries. He only lasted about a season and then was killed off. I was sad. I thought the same thing was going to happen and he was done and wouldn't even make it through Season 1 of Chicago Fire, but then miraculously the writers pulled their heads out of their butt's and he ends up staying. 

Oh Chicago Fire. How I love thee. 

I still have several episodes to go before the end of the first season, but I am already looking forward to starting season 2.

Anyone else watch Chicago Fire?
