In case you missed it

So for the 17 people that read my blog, most of you probably weren't around at the beginning (circa 2007).  So I figured I would highlight a few of my favorite posts that you may or may not find amusing.  Heh.

Just click on the titles below to take a gander...

 

Enjoy!

Oh, and meet TJ.  My cousin's baby and pretty much the sweetest thing I've come in contact with.  Ever.

Smile.

Favorite Things

So I've come across some news favorite things in the past couple months. It would be a complete injustice NOT to share! :)

Heeeeeere we go...


#1- Super Model Perfume from Victoria's Secret. Not gonna lie, wearing it puts a little extra strut in my step. ha.

#2- Tuscan Salad from Houlihan's. For anyone that knows me,
I hate salad. So it says alot that I found one that totally excites me! The goat cheese mixed in with the beans, tomatoes and creative presentation are to die for!

#3- Etsy.com. This website rocks! Anything creative you could possibly want to wear, decorate, give away as gifts, etc... is found here. People submit their handmade creations. If your into that vintage, indy, chic style, this site is perfect.

#4- The music of Missy Higgins. She is my absolute favorite and the first Aussie chick of two to make this list. If your into indie folk music, you will love her. I once drove 9 hours to hear her in concert. I love her so much, I dedicated a whole post to her. Check it out here.

#5- Suave's Rosemary Mint shampoo and conditioner. It smells just like Aveda and works almost as good for more than half the price. If your on a budget but love the higher end products, this is a great compromise.

#6- The name DEXTER. I just dig it. :)

#7- The YouTube blog of Natalie Tran. It's called Community Channel. She is this darling Aussie chick with the perfect combo of wit, sarcasm and charm that makes her one of the most viewed online. Seriously hilarious. You gotta check her out.

#8- Last one on the list for now- Maxwell House Vanilla Caramel Latte instant coffee. It actually FOAMS! Great fix when you can't get to Starbucks at work. I'm telling you, it's all about the foam.

Welp, there she blows. What are some of YOUR favorite things right now??

I hope you like it

So, I realize that I've been a bit of a "Debbie Downer" lately.

And....

I would like to apologize.


On a much lighter note, I want to share with you some music. Isn't it amazing how much music can speaks to our souls? Man, I love it.

My absolute favorite artist in the world (literally), is Missy Higgins. She is an Australian artist that came on the scene down under a few years ago. I actually heard her for the first time on my plane ride to Australia in 2005. I was instantly hooked. Her first album is called "The Sound of White." Do you have a cd that you literally and truly love EVERY song on it? A hard treasure to find, this is mine. I love and hate how music can bring out so much emotion both good and bad, happy and sad. I recommend "Scar" and "10 Days" off of this record.

You may want to know what kind of music this is...well it's kind of an indie, folk, acoustic mix. Check out Missy Higgins on youtube or myspace.

Missy's newest album is called "On a Clear Night" and trust me, she doesn't disappoint. "Steer" is my favorite track on this disc.

I hope you enjoy her as much as I do. I'm ridiculously happy to announce, that just last week I found out that she is touring in the US and I GOT TICKETS. She'll be in Chicago in a few weeks and folks, I might just cry upon my first MH siting. lol

Wow. I think this might just be the most time and effort I've put into a post. Just think how great it could be if I knew people actually read this. ;) Enjoy the music...

The much anticipated first blog

Well here we are. Actually here I am, I don't think I have any fans yet. YET is the key word here. You are gonna love me.

Back in the day (a couple years ago), I was big into the whole blogging thing. Yes, I was in college and who really studies in college anyways, so... I blogged. There were days I would try to get all deep and sentimental and meaningful, but let's face it, I really am "about as deep as a puddle." But, at least I know it.

Then came the myspace and the facebook and I turned my back on the art of the online journal. But I'm back and better than ever. I've found that I miss the substance of the blog. I want to unleash my not-so-deep thoughts to the world... as boring, exciting, sad, lame, ridiculous, sarcastic or hilarious they may be. But for now, that's all I got. It's 10:00 pm on a Monday night and I'm going to bed. I can tell you are already thinking to yourself, "this girl is cooler than I thought."

Till next time,

Meg OUT

♥ Overused words of the moment: "Lame" and "Precious." I just can't stop!
♥ CD I'm diggin' this week: Scar, by Missy Higgins. She's from Australia and pretty much rocks my world.
♥ HOT new artist (also Australian): Amy Pearson

Movie that wasted 90 minutes of my life tonight that I can never get back: Team America

And one final thought:

Why is it that our perception of the quality of our life is so easily altered by such small things?
