Randomness: Hats, Bangs & BSB

People are still talking about the hats worn at the Royal Wedding. The most notable headgear was designed by Irish-born milliner, Philip Treacy. I coveted the hat Camilla Parker-Bowles wore during the blessing ceremony portion of her wedding to Prince Charles in 2005.

Then I saw Treacy’s creations on Project Runway last year. Fabulous and bizarre! Finally, I went on Philip Treacy’s website and picked which hat I’d like to wear. Now all I need is an occasion!

I think Olivia Wilde is the only person on the planet that looks good with bangs. Must have something to do with her sensual eyes.

I looked at the calendar last night and realized that we have something planned EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND now through the 4th of July. That doesn’t include the three things we have going on this week. While all of that activity might provide tons of blogging material I think I might need a vacation come the middle of July.

The Birthday Girl loved the Backstreet Boys video we made for her. All of us were laughing so hard when we watched it that I was afraid someone might choke on birthday cake. My co-conspirators and I really got into our characters. Robert was AJ incarnate. The other girls channeled their BSB’s dance moves. Me? Everyone agreed that I looked just like Brian. Great. I look like a BSB. Only with boobs and hips.

As part of the birthday festivities, we each shared the memory of our favorite birthday (or one of them). The memories were wonderful and included an American Girl birthday (age 6), No Doubt concert (age 22), dance party with DJ (age 13), and a Sweet Sixteen with a live band.

My favorite birthday memory? On my 3rd birthday I was running a high fever over 100. I received a green and yellow tricycle. It had a green & yellow, glitter, banana seat and green & yellow streamers hanging from the handle bars. Since I was sick, I got to ride the tricycle INSIDE around the family room on the hardwood floors. It was totally awesome!
