Oh, Emo Boy, You Just Makes Me Laugh..

So I was just doing dishes and I was kind of clanking things around a little. Woops!

and....





wait for it...









wait for it...









LET THE LOUD EMO MUSIC BEGIN!!!!!!!!

It's like clockwork really, and it makes me chuckle a little. Emo boy, my apologies.



Maybe I'm in happier spirits about it because one of my favorite movies is on tv, Sister Act 2.

I'd now like to borrow a lyric from Sister Act 2 for Emo boy.

"yo mama's so fat, she sat on a rainbow and skittles fell out"

Just kidding :)

You're welcome and be Joyful, Joyful.



I am :)

**Update**

It's Sunday morning and I accidentally dropped the tv controller. Music is now blasting. COOL!

My "new" desk + Why not? Some extra pics, too :)

First of all - it seems that the opinions on the florals are pretty half and half. Some hate it, some love it. I'm in the middle, if you can rock it, go for it, if you're me, I think I'll sit back and watch others rock it :)

Onto my "new" desk!

Remember when I wanted a desk badly and I was looking high and low for an inexpensive one? Well, I was cleaning out my closet and in the heat of the moment I started switching around my furniture. You know what I mean - when you just get in the cleaning mode.

Keep in mind that I have a studio so it's easy for me to switch things around and create a different look.

Anyway, and what did I find? I realized that if I switched my entryway table up a bit, it could be a mini desk!

See?

I'm loving it so far, we'll see how long it lasts. It was super cheap, so I think I'll keep it like this for awhile *wink wink*

While going through my recently added pictures, I thought: Why not? I'll post a couple from Valentine's Day, too :)

The chocolate covered strawberries were a hit!

I was surprised with these babies (from TBF) when I was cleaning like a maniac on Saturday morning.

***Emo boy update***

I feel like this kid should get his own page on here. No, I won't give him the honor! ;)

Remember sleeping beauty? He was woken up by Emo boy's screaming (er, I mean singing) in his bathroom (which is right under ours).

Also, we were beating some chicken last night (something that takes less than a minute and is kind of loud) to tenderize it on the counter and what was his response? BLASTING his music. Talk about passive aggressive. Buttface.

Happy Hump Day!!

Freck's Friday Fancies XXXV

**Before I begin this week's fancies, I wanted to let everyone know I slipped a note underneath emo boy's door that had literally what Jenn from Jean's Friday suggested in my comments yesterday. I didn't hear a peep from him all night :) Thanks!!! **

Onto the fancies!!

I'm going to the MAC event tomorrow and I don't have a clutch/cute purse!!?!

WHAT?!

Yes, it's true. So I need to get one! Naturally if I'm going to be spending a large amount of cash on goodies at the event, I don't want to spend a lot on this purse.

So where do I go? Uh..F21 of course!

You can probably guess what my fancies are this week... :)

$17.80
$18.80
$19
$14.80

If you haven't noticed, I really like the idea of having a strap. If there are going to be cocktails and makeup around, I'm going to want free hands...know what I'm sayin'?

TGIF!!

Have a great weekend!

The Noisy A-hole Who Lives In the Unit Above You...

...is apparently me.

Gasp! I know, I swear I'm quiet, but my neighbor downstairs wants to break my legs dislikes me.

The uber emo kid, Matt, (who I’d like to note also plays his angry music so loud I suspect he'll need a hearing aid at 34) who lives below me wrote me a lovely letter a couple of months ago which was written to the tune of: pretty please stop wearing your heels, smiley face, smiley face, thanks! Smiley face - or something like that. – 8M

After hearing him bash the ceiling with what sounded like a broom stick numerous times yesterday morning, I had a funny feeling that I was going to get an angry letter again.

The note that I found slipped under my door after work yesterday reads: If possible, please don't walk around with shoes/boots/etc. at 7:30-8am. I work till 4:30am and literally just get to sleep to be woken up. It's becoming a trend I want to break -8M

Break? Is that a threat?

Kidding.

What I imagine every time he bangs the ceiling...

He’s also come up to my apartment a separate time and pounded on my door (around 6:45 when I’m getting home from work) to let me know he’s recording so I should keep it down. Areyouserious? Please tell me that the lyrics that I hear you screaming in your bathroom below mine are not being recorded.

No I really do think he's pissed, and I know some of you are saying to me, "hey a-hole, listen to him because I remember this one time I lived below a dumbface who wore heels all the time too and it sounded like the ceiling will break through"

OK, I know! I really really really have tried to become more aware of my movement in my apartment - which is around 6-10 pm, when he’s up and about and 7-8 am, when he’s apparently sleeping. In fact, the only time I wear shoes in my apartment is when I'm LITERALLY right about to leave for work in the morning. When Emo boy is going to sleep, I know.

Did I mention he plays his music ungodly loud? Oh I did, didn't I?

I'm not kidding its ridiculously loud.

So anyway, here will is my imaginary letter to him (suggestions/tweaks welcome):

Dear dark, mysterious and uber Emo musician 8M –

My apologies about my noisy heels in the morning, I’ll try be EVEN more aware. (Yes, TBF and I say whoops, sorry Matt, every time we make a loud noise) Please note that the only time I wear my heels snow boots in the morning is when I’m walking three steps from my chair, where I put my shoes on, to the door, which is about 3 feet away. I’m sorry that my noise for one minute yesterday morning when I was about to leave my apartment awakened your odd ass hours of slumber. Have you thought about how you have the rest of the 8 hours that I’m gone during the day to sleep peacefully and I never really get a break from your blasting music?

Additionally, similar to how I should respect your odd ass hours of slumber, please respect mine and even when I’m awake as well. I understand you are pursuing a musical career, however I shouldn’t have to feel like I’m attending a screaming music concert before I go to bed at a normal time because your music is blasting. If I feel my bed vibrating, your volume level is probably too loud. Also, just because people aren’t sleeping in the middle of the day on the weekends doesn’t mean you have the right to turn up your volume to 10 notches. If I have to turn MY Gaga up because she’s being interrupted by your music, that’s probably too loud.

I pray for your ears.

Thanks and best of luck in all your musical endeavors,
9M

Again, suggestions and alterations are welcome.

Is it okay that I'm annoyed that I cannot move in my apartment at all without being concerned I'm messing up a recording or awakening the musical genius?

Ugh. End of rant.

Woot Woot! Tag-tastic.

YAYYY!!!!!

First, can we discuss how awkward this picture is? I was looking for a picture that matched my excitement with a computer in it.

A. It's awkwardly staged...hand in the air with mouth open?
B. I don't think I will ever go anywhere near that much water with my laptop.
C. Why would anyone be laying on some hard marble? I'm sure there is a lounge chair near by??

Anyway..

Thanks for the Lemonade Award Patti Ann!

Thank you again Patti Ann for sharing this award with me, I'm a new blogger so this raises my confidence a bit :)

So, here are 10 blogs that I think show great attidude/gratitude...ok well maybe not quite 10 because some of the blogs I obsessively follow are owned corporately or something and already have 293843 awards and I'm not sure if they'll enjoy another award from little ol' Freck.

The Heir to Blair--Holy cow. This girl is hilarious. Follow her through her journey with a bun in the oven! Oh, and make sure to check out her post about oranges...tehe.

A Southern girl in the City-- This little lady is just cute. She just returned to Tennessee and is starting a new job as a waitress. Good luck, girl!

My Cup Overflows-- I just started following this gal's blog, and if you ever need an upbeat read this one is for you. Make sure to check out her post about her new Snuggie!

Weight Watchers Changed My Life-- Double whammy. She has two blogs, this one and Simple Yet Classic that I've been following for awhile now. Although I'm not on Weight Watchers, I love reading this blog to get my butt back into health mode or just to learn some new health tips. Follow through her journey, she's truly inspiring. I'm not going to ask her to tag 10 people because I think her blog is dedicated to only WW, which is admirable.

Sweat Bea--This girl is adorable. Follow her through her daily life and get a little chuckle or smile. Oh, and follow her story with her mystery boy who she's named, Florida. ; )

Displaced Southern Prep--SHE'S ALIVE! This fellow Chicago blogger went MIA for awhile, and now I'm so happy she's back. I believe this is the blog that made me decide once and for all that I was going to start a blog. Thanks!

Steak and Cakes-- What a delicious looking blog. I love this one because the posts aren't always the same and she has lots of pictures. Totally my style :)

Sitter Stories-- One of TR who I feel I had a slight umph when it came to her starting a blog. Follow through her daily babysitting stories, always a fun read!!!

Thanks again Patti Ann! Enjoy your award everyone!
