I actually put the mix together, but when I listen to it, it just doesn't excite me. It doesn't make me happy. It's just not good enough. So it will most likely never see the light of day. I may poach songs from it for future mixes.<br /><br />There is some good news, though! I'm working on mixes for February and March already, so it isn't too bad. Also, I'm packaging last year's "Sweethearts on Parade" mix for download and 8tracks, so you'll have a little bonus mix.<br /><br />xoxoUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022277115992777138.post-29737937955810447632011-01-19T12:47:00.001-05:002011-01-19T12:47:36.882-05:00Don't Look BackObsessed with the new She & Him video.

It was so pretty. And COLD! It didn't stick to anything, but it was snowing just the same. I wish I'd thought to snap a picture.<br /><br />Also, I thought I'd share that my Sister-in-law Emily (but I like to just call her my Sister) got engaged on Thanksgiving to a great guy named Tyler. Here's a picture I'm stealing from facebook:<br /><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs996.snc4/76985_1664146917156_1041747146_1817601_4539326_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 333px; height: 249px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs996.snc4/76985_1664146917156_1041747146_1817601_4539326_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>That's the actual proposal! Aren't they precious? I love them. AND I'm going to be a bridesmaid! And Chris is going to be a groomsman! I couldn't be more excited about this wedding! Emily was there every single step of the way for our wedding. I mean, I wouldn't have found a dress without her! So we're really looking forward to returning the favor. <br /><br />In other really exciting news, Georgia Southern won <span style="font-style: italic;">yet another</span> playoff game on Saturday (my Birthday). We beat Wofford 23-20! This means the team will go to Delaware next Saturday and if we win there, it's off to the National Championship for us! It's very exciting. We take our football very seriously here in Statesboro.<br /><br />And now I thought I'd share my really weird dream from last night. Let's start with some background info:<br />1. On the Georgia Southern campus, there is a central grassy area called "<a href="http://www.georgiasouthern.edu/traditions/sweetheart.php">Sweetheart Circle</a>."<br />2. When I lived in a house on Marvin Ave., the five of us girls used to pack up some food and blankets and have picnics out in the grass. We called them "<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eitak671/3330074986/in/set-72157614817706372/">Sweetheart Circle Picnics</a>."<br />3. Emily made a Red Velvet Cake for this weekend, from my Grandmother's recipe. It was delicious. <br />4. I've been re-listening to my <a href="http://www.myspace.com/coconutrecords">Coconut Records</a> albums alot lately, wishing for a new one soon. <br />5. I watch <span style="font-style: italic;">Doctor Who</span>. And I'm kind of obsessed with it. I just re-watched series 1 & 2, and I'm halfway through 3. <br />6. There is a new UK version of <span style="font-style: italic;">Law & Order</span> that comes on BBC America... starring Freema Agyeman, who played Martha Jones in series 3 of <span style="font-style: italic;">Doctor Who</span>. <br /><br />So, last night I dreamed that I was having a Sweetheart Circle Picnic with Jason Schwartzman. There was a basket and quilt and everything. We were eating the Red Velvet cake Emily made for Christmas. And he was performing the new (non-existent) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSDVX6fRSr4">Coconut Records</a> album for me while I ate. And then I heard the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMlle0gBZ7Q&feature=related">TARDIS noise</a> and after it had appeared, out popped the <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://tvmedia.ign.com/tv/image/article/110/1100557/the-pandorica-opens-20100621062333859.jpg&imgrefurl=http://tv.ign.com/articles/110/1100557p1.html&usg=__07Kydb4puTTZEQvFpCAjxsYk_l4=&h=280&w=468&sz=62&hl=en&start=15&zoom=1&tbnid=iH34JwdoLmxYXM:&tbnh=118&tbnw=194&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dthe%2Bpandorica%2Bopens%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1024%26bih%3D578%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C342&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=185&ei=WoYGTe3gJobcvQOc8pzOBg&oei=V4YGTZPICoTGlQed7dzUCQ&esq=2&page=2&ndsp=13&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:15&tx=101&ty=79&biw=1024&bih=578">11th Doctor</a> (Matt Smith's version), who asked me if I'd seen Martha Jones. I told him, "She's not Martha now. She's on <span style="font-style: italic;">Law & Order." </span>Jason Schwartzman says, "That's a pretty good show." Then I woke up. Talk about a surreal dream. I think it was the cough medicine I took just before I went to bed. <br /><br />What's the weirdest dream you've ever had?<br /><br />xoxoUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022277115992777138.post-14512466344389301152010-12-11T19:05:00.000-05:002010-12-11T19:05:32.974-05:0026 Before 27Here are my goals this year:<br /><br />1. Redesign my blog.<br />2. Go on a spontaneous roadtrip.<br />3. Grow out my hair. Only trims this year!<br />4. Get a new job!<br />5. Date night with Chris once a month. (This means a movie/show/dinner. Not fast food at the apartment!)<br />6. Find a new livingroom chair!<br />7. Do a better job of remembering Birthdays and sending great gifts.<br />8. Go down at least two dress sizes.<br />9. Take at least one picture every single day. Document it.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5088/5252861774_aea9eacd6f.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 323px; height: 242px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5088/5252861774_aea9eacd6f.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />(Cell pic rom yesterday. We were packing to go to the in-laws' house and Lemon wanted to make sure we didn't forget to pack her.)<br /><br /></div>10. Get back to blogging each day.<br />11. Call a friend at least once a week.<br />12. Mixtape every month! I did it last year, I can do it again!<br />13. Go to a concert.<br />14. Legally change my name.<br /> <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">I was born Stephanie Kathryn. But I've always been called 'Katie.' When we got married, I assumed I could drop my first name on my Social Security card, keep my maiden name and add my new last name. I was wrong. I have to appear before a judge and pay an exorbitant fee and legally have my name changed. The notice even has to run in the local paper for four weeks. I find this whole thing to be ridiculous. </span></span><br />15. Make homemade jam.<br />16. Get tipsy more often. (I tend to be a little tightly wound sometimes. I should let go more often.)<br />17. Write at least 10 letters. On paper. And send them!<br />18. Put together a recipe book of family recipes.<br />19. Sleep in a tent under the stars.<br />20. Read a classic novel. Or three.<br />21. Give up something for Lent.<br />22. Finish my Long Distance Quilt. It needs to be done.<br />23. Enter something crafty in the Fair.<br />24. Stand on top of a mountain. Take a picture.<br />25. Start collecting t-shirts from St. Simons for a t-shirt quilt.<br />26. Purchase a piece of vintage furniture.<br /><br />Let's see how I do this year.<br /><br />xoxoUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022277115992777138.post-85487432921860669232010-12-11T18:19:00.002-05:002010-12-11T18:37:58.514-05:00Last YearIt's that time.

I cried. I yawned a lot.... but that had nothing to do with the movie. I was just really sleepy at 3am. <br />I'm going to be super tired today for our trip to Furman (our biggest football rival, in Greenville, SC). Chris says I can sleep in the car. <br />But you should know: Harry Potter is always worth it. <br />If you weren't one of the crazies at the theater last night at midnight, you should go see it ASAP. Like now. Seriously... go.<br /><br />xoxo<br /><br />PS... I think there may be some free fonts coming up in a bit (since it's Friday and all).
