Ooooh give me  sequins, a catchy hook, syncopated rhythms, and a glam squad and I'm yours!. I don't like slow songs. I despise them really. I love all my ladies. oooh yea, Lillaroo is  a diva. Today, during nap breakdown, I  was able to view lilly's 8 month pictures. {God said, Laura...calm your freak down! Here, look at your gorg baybee!}  My gal pal from college is UBER talented and I. love. everything. Check out miss lilly pants in her 8 month glory HERE! Look at them pictures and tell me she's NOT a diva. She's gonna be huge.  

here's the story all about how...

THIS girls life got turned upside down!!!!


Ok. Story time. Gather 'round.

(if you know me in real life....run along. cause you've no doubt already heard this. at least 6 times.)

Ok. So i loooovvvveee carrie underwood a little too much. I'm a little on the 12 year old girl mind set of " OH mi goooodnneeeesss I heart her soooo much!!! Squeeeeeeee!!" But whatever, I'm okay with it. Scott, knowing this, surprised me with great seats to her concert this last weekend for Christmas. However, at Christmas they were not on sale yet. So using his super sleuth skills, he found that you could purchase tickets in advance IF you joined the OFFICIAL CARRIE UNDERWOOD fan club. So putting his man card aside, he joined. (if that's not love... i dunno what is!!)

Anyway, I've always known this, but this event confirmed my belief that my husband has a horseshoe up his butt. He is so dern lucky!! He always wins things and gets great deals and so forth. Well....surprise surprise about 3 weeks ago, he gets an email that he has won a backstage pass for a meet and greet with the divine miss carrie for the upcoming concert. So, for the sake of fun.....travel back with me......

::insert hazy dream sequence::

I'm asleep in my bed at 9:30 on a Wednesday

( I know. lame sauce. 9:30?) . My husband, who loves to get me riled up because I'm a *tad* dramatic comes in wakes me up saying, "Laura, we've just won backstage passes to meet Carrie!"( No need for last names in our house. there is only ONE carrie.) I shoot up in bed. "SHUT UP! You're lying. This is NOT funny!" I run to the computer and read the email. I'm ecstatic. But quickly defeated when I read the line: Congratulations, Scott, YOU have won ONE pass to meet..... One pass? Not two??? Whaaaaa???? Then at the bottom the most depressing sentence, This pass is NON-TRANSFERABLE. Scott joined the fan club. Of course, HE WOULD win. A 29 year old avid country hater won a pass to meet his wife's favorite artist. of course.

I did not.

My. husband. was. going. to. meet. carrie. It was heartbreaking. I forced him to email this fan club and plead our case... he did. We even threw in the "my wife just had a baby and would love to spend this time...blah blah she's a teacher to America's youth....blah blah feel sorry for us....we're poor. we live in INDIANA of all places...blah blah. xoxo. "For three weeks. nothing. no response.

The first week. I was rather devastated.

Second week. I was rather bummed, but okay with the fact that my husband was going to meet the most gorgeous girl on the planet who just happens to by mah fave.

Third week. I had decided I would have a picture printed of me that Scott was ORDERED to hold next to Carrie while he had a picture with her so "technically" I was there. :)

Then. THENNNNNNNN!!!!!!! The sky opened up and God said "I love you, Laura." Scott received an email on Wednesday stating that they would make A ONE TIME EXCEPTION for the name on the all access pass to be LAURA instead of SCOTT. Hallelujah!!!!!!!!


So, on Friday. I met my girl. She was very nice. Extremely cute. and surprisingly VERY short. She was in flats. I was heels. I'm really not a giant. :) The concert was great. She changed outfits like 10 times. She sang all my favorite songs. aaaannnndddd to add a cherry on top of a great night, she complimented my outfit. I had silly crazy girl grin on my face alllllllllll night.

i'm going to meet CARRIE UNDERWOOD tomorrow.

no, i'm not kidding

yes, i'm freaking out.

promise to blog the craziness, and hilarious debacle of HOW i landed this earth shattering moment later....off to find something fabulous to wear to meet my favorite person in the whole wide world minus scott, minus lilly.

my reaction exactly miss carrie, exactly.

Blog high-five!

So this either makes me really cool... or a HUBER (huge and uber)nerd, but I got my first blog award. I'm gonna go ahead and classify myself in the cool category. I'll let you decide on your own. Anyway, Stefani over at Derek and Stefani passed this along to me. Blog high-five!

Awards have rules. Weird, no? It's kinda reminding me of a modern day chain letter. I always passed those along too..I believe I even hand wrote a few of em. Ummm HELLO I was NOT about to NOT have my crush ask me out. Woooooah no-no.

1. Thank and link the person who gave you this award.

2. Pass this award onto 5 blogs that you think are fantastic.

3. Contact blogs and let them know they've won.

4. State seven interesting things about yourself that people may not know.

mmmmmkay.

-I'm a lefty and Scott's a lefty we realllllly hope Lilly is a lefty. Lefties are a lot cooler than righties. fact.

-I'm addicted to caffeine. Bad. I drink several cups of coffee in the morning and have a diet coke almost everyday at lunch. I get headaches if I don't. Not something to be proud of, buttttttt.....Oh and McDonald's has the BEST fountain drinks. Period. My belief is that they have a deal with Coca-cola for a super secret carbonation recipe that no one else has. OH, and their straws are the best. I hate skinny straws.

-I had a hard time adjusting to being a mom. I thought it would come instinctively like everyone said. I don't feel like it did for me. I got a lot of anxiety about it.

-I have lots of weird life goals. For example--I wanna swim with dolphins (stemming from the classic Full House episode), have an etsy website (although I currently make nothing handmade), I want to meet someone famous (pref. carrie), and I'd love to direct a children's musical.

-I love 98% of the tv shows on the CW. Pretty sure most of those shows demographics are the 9-18 age bracket.

-I looked up how to become a cast member on GLEE. They ARE CASTING if you are under 26!!!!!! FYI. :)

-I think my voice sounds the best in the car. I sing there every. time. I don't care if people laugh at me. I crank my music loud.

Wishful Wednesday

I've decided I'd like to participate in Seattle Smith's Wishful Wednesday posts. I've read some from other gals and I always enjoy reading them. I also loooove taking surveys and thinking about what Myyyyy answers would be.

'I wish' .... I could spend three
minutes in
Carrie Underwood's shoes!

Carrie is fabulous for so many reasons.

I'd love to meet her (read: BE HER ) mostly because secretly I KNOW we'd be BFF. Have you ever had that? You see a celebrity or a person on a reality show and you just "feel" like you'd be friends? Well, I do that a lot. I think I would be best gal pals with Carrie, Serena VanDerWoodsen, and Tenley from the bachelor :) I'm pretty sure I'd smack Vienna in the face. Side note: HOW IS SHE STILL THERE?? Besides Carrie's obvious amazing voice, she's beautiful. I always want to immulate her hair and look forward to award shows so I can see what she wears. I coveted the silver sparkly one she wore to the CMA's. I would wear that dress everywhere. I've been to one of her concerts and she tooooaaattttalllly waved at me. Once again, BFF. She has a huge heart and I believe she is truely genuine not letting fame get to her head. BFF's....I'm telling you!

Who would Lilly wanna be? hmmm....probably her Leo Lion toy. She hearts that thing so much. She kisses and loves all over it. Or maybe her pink blankey...it's a toss up.

Who would your three mintues be with?
