Day 4- a song that makes you sad

Two songs popped in my head as soon as I read today's title.. so I decided to post them both.

Heard this one in the car not too long ago and pretty much lost it.. so many songs have such a different meaning now that I am a mom and I have Brandon in my life, (Mr. Sappy himself) but this one really hit me hard! Damn you Tim!

I bought this cd when I was pregnant and heard this song as I was driving home from the store.. I knew I was having a girl too.. yeah, it wasn't a pretty sight.

I swear I AM a happy person! lol.

Day 3- a song that makes you happy

if you haven't noticed yet.. this is gonna take me a lot longer than 30 days. But hey. I have a 5 month old, a life.. and this is MY BLOG. So here, let's get happy.

I know what you're thinking. OMG Erin really, JBieb? But yeah, hey.. like I said: it's my blog, it's my life, and this makes me happy.

A Chicago Style Wilgraf Weekend

We had a busy busy weekend! Lyla and I went to Chicago for some of Dustin and Melissa's wedding stuff.. daddy had to stay home and work.. we missed him soooo much but had a great time!

Thursday evening we decided to go to Tequila's to eat (because I didn't want to dishes before I left... right?!) and then we came home so I could pack and Brandon could get some Lyla time in before we left him at home for the weekend.

Friday morning we were up bright and early to get our morning routine done and to Red Bud before ten. We had about a five hour drive ahead of us.... the drive went ok.. Lyla was pretty good! I don't blame her for not wanting to be in that seat sometimes. :( But she is definately not one of those babies that just falls asleep in the car either! After we finally got to Chicago and checked into our hotel and showered.. we went to eat with Dustin and Melissa. That night was pretty early because we had a big day ahead of us!

Saturday was Melissa's shower and bachelorette party! The shower was at 11:30 and an hour away so we had to get goin pretty early to get 4 girls ready and there on time. Lyla was in a pretty happy mood the whole time and she loved seeing all the people! She even got to hang out with Uncle Dustin a little and she met some other little girls!

After the shower we had a few things to do then it was back to Melissa's mom's house to get ready for the bachelorette party. We got ready quickly and headed out to catch the train. We had about an hour ride on the train to get downtown. Of course we got on the part with no air...... but I worked a little magic and found us some new seats on a much cooler penquin cave like car. 

Some of the girls on the party.. Melissa (the bride to be) is the fourth one down. uh, the one with the bride sash.

We finally got of the effing train and got to the restaurant we were having dinner at. (I won't talk about how we got there... hot..) It was called the Rockit Bar and Grill. The food and drinks were great! a little pricey but I was prepared for that... Then it was off to the show at the Baton Lounge! I'll have to admit.. this is what caught me a little off-guard. Check it out. yep.. made my jaw drop for a few minutes. I seriously didn't know what to expect. The invitation said "show". Yes, it was a "drag show". what? what are they gonna do? I really thought it was gonna be like a fashion show. haha. Little did I know they were gonna come out singing and dancing. Like, insane. These "girls?" were prettier than me. I will never listen to Pink's "Raise Your Glass" the same way. Crazy thing is- there were THIRTEEN bachelorette parties there!! I guess it's the place to go! And I have to admit, it was fun and I will probably never forget it! We ended the night at a piano bar in walking distance. I would call the night a success! And I think the bride would too...

Dustin is one luckkkky guy. :)



And PTL for Dustin. Cause him and his friend Jeff came to the city to pick all of us up! ANNNND made some breakfast the next morning! Dustin makes a mean biscuits and gravy. AND had seasoned salt just for me cause I can't eat bng without it.

The drive home wasn't as easy as the drive there.. fuss butt. But we made it! and we were happy to be in our own beds! One more month til the wedding!

Day 2- your least favorite song

ewwwwww Kenny Chesney. Don't like it.
First off- I don't think he should be a country singer. Nothing country about him.
Second- quit singin about the damn beach. we aren't on the beach. You don't drive tractors on the beach.

this was right up there with that dumb Dougie song.. I think I missed that craze.. and Poison. uck, hair bands.

WTF Wednesday

Yep. I know it's Thursday. But yesterday was REALLY one of those days that just made me say WTF so I can't pass it up.. and, well, I was just too tired and busy to do a post yesterday. so there.

Woke up yesterday with chills, headache, backache and some other "issues"... ugh. WTF. TGFG (thank god for grandma) started my day off just awesome.

After I relaxed for a while I decided to head to the mall to get some shopping I needed to do out of the way. Seriously I think maybe 2 of the 9 stores I went into had air conditioning. really? I wasn't feeling the best anyway.. and trying things on in the dressing room when your clothes have to peel off of you because of all the sweat, well, doesn't make you want to buy anything. WTF.

After the mall I went to Famous Footwear. When I walked in I heard a voice I didn't know say "oh my god it's so good to see you! how are you doing?!!" I didn't look up. I didn't know the voice and I was in Fairview. I heard the voice keep talking. "what are you up to today?! just lookin for some new shoes?! can I help you find anything??" now I knew it was an employee and I looked up. WTF? who greets people like they went to high school together and haven't seen them since? I said in my I don't feel good leave me alone tone "I'm fine."

As I was shopping in the same store I saw a lady come in with a stroller. The same guy greeted her. "Oh hi! How are you today? What ya looking for?!" the lady said she was just looking around. The guy answered with "well, Mom shoes are over here." WWWWTTTTTFFFFFF! who says that?! the lady responded with "well, I guess I'll steer clear of that section. (rolled her eyes)" hahaha. perfect.

Then there was Rallys. Large Sweet Tea and Large Fries please!

Is this real? Ok, their large soda could hold the whole Mississippi in it and that is the large fry? WTF? talk about dissapintment! maybe it's just because I love thier fries so much.. but idk.. back to mcdonalds for this girl. Buy one get one free Big Macs for me! haha.

As this whole day is going on I keep getting texts from Brandon. my love. "hey babe! you makin BLT's for supper?!" omg. I was so tired. haha, I do love blt's.. but I HATE the smell in my house.. but that's another story. I said "I'll make BLT's if we can go Jeep shopping!" haha. that didn't happen. WTF. I went through with my end of the deal!

While I was frying up the bacon Brandon was pacing around the kitchen bossing me around like usual. I told him to get in the shower while Lyla was sleeping. He was like Erin. What happens if she wakes up?!! ONE of us is going to have to hold her and you are frying bacon! omg. Brandon, honey, you don't have to hold her AT ALL TIMES. He said "but I like to." lol, WTF. Help me out a little babe. Losing my sanity one conversation at a time......

Happy Thursday! :) I feel much better today and promise not to lose it.
BTW- watching Fox 2 news and they are saying they are gonna have a story on how the heat affects our attitude! hmmmmm. yep. blamin it on the heat.

Day 1- your favorite song

Ok, so I am bored and looking for something to do.. because I don't feel like making supper and Lyla is sleeping and the only thing I really have left to do around the house is vacuum.. (sp? I hate that word.) Anyway Sarah over at Keeping Up With the Roscow's did this and I thought it was cute!
SO I am going to start this 30 day song challenge! Here goes..
Day 1- your favorite song

Lady Gaga-You and I

Ok.. definately not my favorite song EVER but my favorite song right NOW.

My favorite song ever would probably be some Garth song or something but how can you pick one?

A Wilgraf Weekend

It's Tuesday again.. time for my weekend wrap up!
Funny.. last night I was watching Two and a Half Men and Charlie was talking about what he was gonna do that week. He said he likes to save his Monday's for hangovers and re-coup time. EXACTLY. anyway..
Friday was pretty low-key. We went to dinner at Tequila's Thursday night and I think we were both still feeling the effects the next day.. I went to get my hair done that afternoon. ahhhh, so nice for someone to do my hair for once! When I worked at the salon I always secretly wished I was the one with my head in the shampoo bowl. hehe. Anyway. That took a while. Well, because I got some highlights and my hair is naturally almost black soooo it takes some time to get it light. I ended up not getting home til almost seven. But we had a relaxing night with some kick-ass jambalaya I whipped up.
Saturday was my friend Sarah's baby shower. That morning I did her hair, made some dip for the shower, wrapped presents and got myself and a baby ready to go .. well my mom ended up helping with the baby a little lot when she came down to go to the shower with us. The shower was soooo cute. Animal print everywhere and just over the top everything. It was nuts. Like who comes home with two frying pans and wine/wine cooler cup and glass for just showing up at a shower with a gift? ha.. are we in Evansville? Anyway.. there was great food, good friends and Lyla got to hang with Stella for a bit!

After the shower I went over to Sarah's to help get everything inside.. I think we kinda thought about going through it all too.. but after we got it all in we were so hot and sweaty it just wasn't happening. Brandon came over a little later when he got off work and we played some darts in the basement (where it was so much cooler) until it was time to head to a party back at the legion. I think Brandon and I were home by 11.. long day!
Sunday was hot. (haha, it's not funny really) We slept in for a while and layed around the house. That afternoon Lyla and Daddy were gonna hang out at home while I went out with some friends. I had a great time out and I think they had a pretty good day too. Lyla is definately a Daddy's girl!

and she loves being nakey.. but that's another story:)

Hope you all had a good weekend!
