That's right, dear readers. S just finished her first test. Let the celebrations officially begin! Tomorrow. After her nap. And Gossip Girl.
Did some cleaning that was long overdue since I used my exam as an excuse to let things go. Now my room is spic and span and people can actually see its surfaces again! I made my own playlist for the massive tidying since I got some epic new music, some of which I shared with y'all on my new feature-- the mini-pod. No joke, that took a legit amount of time to rig up so you better appreciate/comment on it.
Speaking of new music, here's some new artists/cds I'm digging on------
Michael Buble- Crazy Love
I may not be crazy about the cover but I am crazy about the songs!! You know I can't resist a smooth man who sings big band standards.
Listen To: Haven't Met You Yet, All I Do Is Dream of You, and Heartache Tonight
Listen When: you feel like being silly, romantic and/or wistful
PS. NANA, YOU TOTALLY NEED TO BUY THIS.
Glee- Glee Cast
Oh Glee! Where have you been all my life? You were made for me and we were meant to be. But seriously, show, you complete the Broadway/old rock/pop loving superfan in me.
Listen To: Don't Stop Believin', Push It, Last Name, and Somebody to Love
Listen When: you want to dance and sing!!
500 Days of Summer Soundtrack
If you haven't seen this film yet, do it. Now. Then you will immediately want to buy the soundtrack. It's just that good and catchy.
Listen To: Us, You Make My Dreams Come True, Sweet Disposition
Listen When: you've given up on love/happiness/romance
Miranda Lambert- Revolution
Confession: Waiting to buy this CD until I get home since I adore Miranda and want to have a hard copy of what is sure to be a kickass album. I have been hardcore obsessed with every single song of hers. I already love
Only Prettier.
Listen When: you need to feel good/ bad/everything in between, all while being a Southern-hot badass
Justin Bieber- My World
Don't judge. Can't knock it until you try it... Looks like Little J is going to be opening for Taylor Swift and I couldn't be happier that this led to my finding out about his music even though he's clearly like five. Whatevs, he's catchy!
Listen To: One Time, Favorite Girl, One Less Lonely Girl
Listen When: you have got to be a carefree kid again
*****Special Mentions******
*Leighton Meester- Somebody to Love== NEW ABROAD ANTHEM. She deserves a whole post for this song since it so perfectly describes what I'm sure is going to be our new motto. For example--
Paris, France to Michigan
London town and through Berlin
I can’t believe this place I’m in
Everywhere and back again
Is there somebody who still believes in love?
I know you’re out there
There’s got to be somebody
I search around the world
But I can’t seem to find
Somebody to love
They say it’s hard to achieve
But can’t a girl believe?
I mean, can it get any more perfect?
*Jamelia- Superstar
For when you are in the Bailey getting your groove on after that miserable day of classes. You deserve to dance babii gurrl because you must be some kind of SUPERSTAR.
You know you love me.
XOXO, Gaelic Girl
The start of our day. Good sign? I think yes. Perhaps even magical? Most def.
The bus ride to Killarney through the window.
We have arrived and they have horses.
The cheesiness posing alone begins.
I WAS SO HAPPY. SUE ME.
Why do all my dreams extend, Just around the riverbend?!?
A typical Irish field. I felt it needed to be documented.
Ross Castle!!!!!
I'm on a boat! I got my flippy-floppies.
