This Was Such A Good Find

I'm in love with this man because he loves Friday Night Lights as much as I do.

The life lessons he took away from the show?

1. Relish the Underdog Role

2. A Man Needs to Come to Peace With His Father

3. Nurture Manliness

4. A Man Seeks Redemption

5. Texas Forever (Never forget where you came from)

6. A Man's Closest Ally is His Wife

7. A Man Needs a Team

8. Clear Eyes, Full Heart, Can't Lose

Seriously, if you're a fan of the show, go read this article. And if you're not, go watch the whole series and then go read this article.

Literally gave me chills reading it. Literally.

I Want to Pet a Dinosaur

The National Geographic nerd in me is dying over this. Who's going with me to find this place?

Basketball Never Stops

As a lover of the NBA and Advertising, I am in LOVE with this spot. Especially because it features Dirk shooting some wicked shots.

I would absolutely kill to be involved in making spots like this. Please, please let me get a job working on a sports-related client at some point in my career.

Also, the NBA should consider themselves SO lucky that brands like Nike and Under Armour are making sure that people still love the game of basketball and pro athletes. I just want to see my Mavs get their rings! Is that so much to ask??

Have a Very Scary Halloween!

I hope you have the creepiest, scariest, most terrifying Halloween ever. Here's a little something to get you in the Halloween spirit.

Boo!

It Is Time...

Welcome to the holiday season, friends! Halloween marks the beginning of my absolute favorite time of year! It's also the time of year when the highly domestic side of me comes out. So, nights like tonight happen. Where I make these:

And I make this:

The caramel popcorn is DELICIOUS. Perfect as a snack or for those festive holiday parties I know you'll all start throwing. So, what? You want the recipe? Ok, I'll send you over to where I got it from.

Get ready for A LOT more blog posts like this one.

I Won't Grow Up

I see things like this and I say to myself, "I HAVE to have that."

I mean, come on. It has a tower with a rock-climbing wall. There's a secret room inside that can only be accessed through a hidden entry in the fireplace. AND the eyes in the portrait over the fireplace slide open so you can spy out of it! SERIOUSLY! Where was this when I was a small child? I mean, it's only about $7,000...

See? I'm Not the Only One...

So usually I include songs with my blog posts. This time I have a post solely about a song. I was listening to the radio yesterday and heard this song. I don't even like country music that much so it must have been destined that I hear this.

 

She was starin' out the window of their SUV 

Complainin', sayin', "I can't wait to turn eighteen" 

She said, "I'll make my own money and I'll make my own rules" 

Momma put the car in park out there in front of the school 

And she kissed her head and said, "I was just like you" 

You're gonna miss this 

You're gonna want this back 

You're gonna wish these days 

Hadn't gone by so fast. 

These are some good times 

So take a look around 

You may not know it now 

But you're gonna miss this 

 Clearly I've only made it past the graduating high school and moving on to college part, but it's good to know that it is ok to miss those times. Thanks for helping me feel better about that, Trace. 

 Feel better, Katie Walton? Me too.
