Confession..

I have a confession and I'm kind of embarrassed about it but I really, really, really love this song.

Do any of  you secretly - or not so secretly - love a little Justin Bieber?

It's been an interesting week. Lots of changes and decisions being made in the Vid household. I'll be back tomorrow with some news.  Hope you've all had a great week!

Top 2 Tuesday - Favorite Styles!

I am playing along again this week with the Top 2 Tuesday put on by The Undomestic Mama!

Here are my Top 2 Favorite Styles!

I absolutely love Nicole Richie's Style!

I think she's beautiful.  She can take something so simple and pull it together to make it look chic.  She's also always on top of what's trendy but continues to turn trend into class. Love, love, love her!

I also adore Kim Kardashain! I think she's gorgeous and always stunning!

Who's style do you love?

Blackberry

I've had a crackberry Blackberry for about 2 years now.. I have loved it. Although, recently I stopped receiving emails on my phone. Now, I'm in the process of wedding planning, selling a house, and searching for a new one.. I am in constant contact via email with Real Estate Agents and our Vendors and all of my work related emails (Financial Services, not my day job) go to my BB as well.  I never log into my actually email account. Ever. So imagine my surprise and frustration when I do log into my email because I find it odd that i have not received ONE email in 5 days on my BB to find an inbox FULL. We're taking 256 unread messages in the past 5 days. I waltzed my little bum into Verizon last night before a meeting that started at 7 and asked them to fix it.. I then heard these dreaded words:

Verizon Dude: Ma'am, I'm sorry but I can't fix it..
Me: What?
VD: Ya, it's an internal issue with the BB.
Me: Well it's insured so just send me a new one...
VD: Well, you've owned it for over a year, so I can't.. The warranty is up.
Me: Okay, that's fine I bought insurance on it for the lifetime of the phone..
VD: Ya, but they'll send you a refurbished phone and technically you'd have to lose it..
Me: You're joking, right?
VD: No, I'm not..


So this convo went on for a while and basically he told me my phone is shot regarding the email configuration (whatever that means?) and I'd be paying a $50.00 deductible for them to send me a REFURBISHED phone... He also explained that my Dad stole my upgrade and I wasn't due for one until July! So back story here.. I'm on my own account but I listed my mom as an authority on the account so if anything ever happened that I couldn't take care of she'd be able to for me... Well she used this to her advantage and used my upgrade last year when my dad broke his phone.  I forgot she did this... Good news - My mom also has ME listed as the authority on her account... So I used my dad's upgrade to get a new BB Tour!


So, I'm back in business and I am in LOVE with the Tour. How I ever went with the smaller keyboard on the Pearl I'll never know! 


Hope you all have a great weekend!

Surprise..

I will be the first to admit that I hate surprises.  This probably makes me the most difficult person to surprise.  If I sense anything at all is out of the ordinary I want to know exactly what is going on.  I just hate not knowing what to expect. With that being said.. Mr.Vid has always had quite a hard time surprising me. He loves to surprise me but knows how crazy it makes me if I know a surprise is coming. 

As some of you may know we have season tickets to the Portland Trail Blazers! We LOVE going to the games and plan to continue the tradition once we have children with out them. It'll be our date night.  We'll sell a lot more games but we'll still go! Well, last night we had a game.  I rushed home as usual, ate really quickly, changed and we were out the door. We get downtown and make our way to the Rose Garden. Something you should know - I hate being responsible for our tickets. I always forget them. Mr.Vid always holds the tickets.  We get through the gates as Mr.Vid has had our tickets scanned... If I had them I would have noticed what is about to come earlier. The following conversation occurs:

Mr.Vid: I'm going to run to the bathroom.. (Which is not uncommon)
Me: okay, I'll go sit down in our seats.. (also, not uncommon)
Mr.Vid: Why don't you just wait here for me..
Me: Okay. 


He comes out of the bathroom and starts walking the wrong way! Keep in mind we came in the same door we always do and I usually go to our seats by myself. So I know he is walking the wrong way... The conversation continues:


Me: Uh babe, you're going the wrong way...
Mr.Vid: I want to go say hi to Don and Rhonda...
Me: Can't we see them at half time? (I like to watch pre-game and know if we say hi we'll miss a few min of the first quarter)
Mr.Vid: No, we're right here lets just go real quick..
Me: You go, I want to go sit down..
Mr.Vid: Rhonda really wanted to see you..
Me: We just saw them Saturday...
Mr.Vid: I'm going to tell her you didn't want to say hi..
Me: Fine, lets go. (I'm cursing him under my breath at this point.. I was cranky, I'll admit it.)


We get up there and Don and Rhonda are not there..

Me: Okay they're not here.. We'll see them at the half.
Mr.Vid: Well, actually, we'll see them when they get here because these are our seats tonight.. (He got the seats right next to theirs for the game. Moving us down from 310 to 226..)


Insert shock on my face and a huge grin on Mr.Vid's. I was a happy camper! Turns out he got the tickets Sunday and sold ours the same day.. He's a little sneaky when he wants to be. 

I liked this surprise.


These guys look like toy's you get from McDonalds from our seats.. From where we sat last night they looked HUGE. It was so fun to sit down there and I hope we do more often!

Top 2 Baby Names.

Mr.Vid and I talk about baby names all the time. So I decided it'd be fitting to participate in the Undomestic Momma's Top 2 Tuesday!

 

Girls Names:

Aubrey Ann

Ruby

 

And I also love Avery Grace

 

Boys Names:

Jack Boyce

Cash Boyce

 

My daddy's middle name is Boyce and I would love to honor him by naming a baby boy after him. Both my mom and Mr.Vid's mom's middle names are Ann.  Sadly we can't think of a middle name that we like for Ruby so if you think of any feel free to send them our way :) It has been fun to see what names so many others love!
