Ok kids! It's that time again. Time for another edition of Random Tuesdayness, with me, your hostess with the mostest. God, that is so overused! Moving right along... I just realized that most people who do Random Tuesday Thoughts post their stuff in the morning. So that means they proably get it ready the night before. Which means I'm a slacker. Oh well, I don't care! Anyway... Random Tuesday Thoughts is sponsored by Keely at The Un Mom, so run over there, grab her button and join in the fun. Random Tuesdayness is a place to unload all the crap that has been backing up in your brain without having any rhyme or reason for posting about it! Here goes...
My weekend was fairly unproductive. In fact, I can't really remember what I did. Oh, that's right... I had dinner with Auri and her family (mom, step-dad, kids) at Pat's BBQ on Friday night. If you're a meat lover, it's definitely a place you'll want to check out. If you're like me, not so much. All of the "sides" were delish, but the meat left much to be desired - but only because I'm extremely picky about meat. In fact, the place is so good, it was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network. You know, the show that is hosted by Guy Fieri? I love that show. Except, it's not good to watch it when you're hungry, because no matter what he's taste-testing, it all looks delightful. And then you get a craving for something, and you'll never actually get anything like what you saw on the show because the restaurant was in Delaware, or something. Whatever! 
After dinner we went to see Duplicity with Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. They're both corporate spys who cross paths and get all entertwined. Let me say this. I've never particularly had a thing for Clive. After seeing this movie, I've got a thing. He's sexy. And the movie was really good, too. It's one that definitely keeps you on your toes, so you better not doze off in the middle of it. Definitely worth seeing. Did brunch with the girls on Sunday and then went to Diva's to do some work. Got a few things accomplished. Oh, and I got to sit in the Conservatory (aka the old greenhouse) and it was cool. The second picture of me with straight hair is from inside it.
Hmmm... let's see. I saw someone's reference to March weather... In like a lion, out like a lamb. Well, here in Utah, we have to expect everything to be screwy when it comes to the weather. The beginning of our March was great... In like a lamb. And now? Definitely going out with a big, giant growl. Why does Mother Nature hate us? Why can't we have four distinct seasons? I'm sick of the snow. Mind you, we've had a pretty mild winter, compared to last year, but come on! And I had to throw the RPattz picture in here because of the Lion/Lamb reference. Holler if you have no idea what the hell I'm talking about!
And on a totally unrelated subject, hence, the randomness....A while back I signed up for a Twitter account. I posted a few updates, nothing too exciting. Mostly because hardly anyone I knew had an account, and I kind of just gave up on it and forgot about it. I've been seeing a lot of my favorite bloggers with Twitter updates on their pages, so I decided to log back in and check it out. Now that I have a few more people to follow, we'll see how it goes. I have a little box over there on the right somewhere that you can click on to follow me. I know, just one more thing so that we all stay connected!
Speaking of RPattz, and Twilight, has anyone seen pictures of Taylor Lautner (aka Jacob Black) lately? Good God, that boy has put on some muskles! (I know I spelled it wrong - pronounce with a hard K.) If this is the first you've seen his new pictures, do yourself a favor and Google "Taylor Lautner Abs" and see what you get. There's a little video online of him doing an interview (it's only about 2 minutes long) and he shows of his washboard. That's all I'm saying. Ladies, I'll wait while you go watch it......tapping my nails, tapping my nails.... blowing my nose...... googling it myself..... I couldn't believe it either. Hot, huh? I think I have some laundry to do. I feel kind of dirty because I know he's young, but Holy Mother of God, how can you not be attracted to that man? Whew!
Moving on... don't forget to check out my makeup blog. I posted a few pictures of Paul and Brittany over there.
And now I'm starving, seeing how I didn't eat any breakfast. A chai will only hold me over for so long. I'm craving a Dutch Baby from The Original Pancake House. Maybe I'll go there for lunch... In parting, I leave you with this.... it's silly, but I think it's cute!
P.S. I swear the formatting of these damn posts is going to be the death of me!
Now, I have to tell you that San Diego is one of my most favorite places in the world. I don't even know how many times I've been there, but for a while, it was at least once per year. I haven't been since 2006 and I kind of forgot how much I love it. After looking for a few pics online, I was instantly taken back to the beach and the city, and remembered how much I miss it! Now I have an upcoming trip to look forward to. Granted, we'll only have about 48 hours in the city, but we'll make it worth it!
I know San Diego like my own backyard, and I can't wait to take Noelle all over the place. We'll definitely be going to Kono's for breakfast one morning, and somewhere yummy for dinner in the Gas Lamp District! The boardwalk along Mission and Pacific Beach will definitely be on our list of stops as well. I absolutely cannot wait!
I got to the church early to do Britt's makeup (which turned out fabulously, I might add). I'll be posting the before and afters on my makeup blog sometime in the next day or two. When I was getting ready to head into the chapel, I looked outside to see four of my girls walking in... and damn, they looked gooood!
This is the happy couple up at the alter, after they've said their vows. Karen (aka Kasian) sang a song (I can't remember which one) at the ceremony and she is who they were looking at.
This is the garter that Britt wore under her dress. She's such a sweetheart to indulge Paul's obsession with the Raiders. Their wedding colors were even silver and black... she must really love him!
Auri and Jessica (aka Wikiball) after we'd eaten dinner at the reception. The reception was held at the Memorial House in Memory Grove which is in downtown Salt Lake City. I'd never been there, and it's absolutely gorgeous. If I ever find the man of my dreams, I'll seriously consider having a wedding there!
And here we have the wedding cake. I'm on a mission (for my mother) to find out who made it because it was reallllly good. I only had a bite, so I couldn't tell ya, but that was the word on the street that night. Isn't it pretty? Those are champagne flutes to the left, and her bouquet to the right.
This was the cake topper - picture taken from above (obvi). In case you can't see, that's a bride dragging her groom behind her. Oh, and the requisite Raiders football helmet. The boy has problems, we're all aware of this!
A close-up picture of Brittany's bouquet. It was gorgeous, and I especially liked the bling... my kind of girl. A friend of theirs did all the flowers and they were fabulous!
Brittany and her dad during the "Father-Daughter" dance. I had to go in the other room because the song they danced to was one of those that grabs my insides and twists... and I burst into tears. Paul came over to say hi to the group of us girls standing there, said one word to me, and I started bawling again. He took off in the other direction...What a wuss!
Brittany and Paul invited all of their guy friends up to the front of the dance floor, the DJ gave them all props, and then turned on the YMCA. Every single one of them was a sport and they all danced to the whole song with motions and everything! I got that on video. I may post it later. 
This is a pic of all the ladies sitting down to enjoy the boys' performance. It was quite comical!
Here are Brittany, Sarah and Auri. Sadly this was about the best photo of her face I got. I'll be getting some head shots from her photographer soon! Aren't they cute? Brittany literally was the typical glowing bride that night. I couldn't have hoped for it to have gone any better!
And finally, this is Paul & Britt on their way out of the reception hall and to their waiting horse-drawn carriage. They took that down to the hotel they spent the night at. So cute!
Paul and Brittany got married on Saturday and the wedding was amazing! I was entrusted with the job of her makeup, and she looked absolutely gorgeous, if I do say so myself. This is the venue where the reception was held. I'll be doing a post about the wedding later. 
Since I love my "Team Edward" sweatshirt so much, I'm pretty sure I'll be ordering another one very soon. Nothing like a good comfy sweatshirt to chill in, right? Right!
And guess what I just found out? The Target version of the DVD has a 3rd disc with extras on it, including a download of the movie from iTunes, and all for $17.99. Just as a side note, Odum can't get the DVD to rip to his hard drive so he can load it on my iPod and his Zune.... So guess where I'll be going after work? Yep, to Tarjay! I know I have issues. Like I said before, I'm willing to admit it. And no, I don't have anything better to spend my money on, so get off my back! When we're in San Fran, lying in bed, three sheets to the wind, Noelle will thank me that we can watch the movie while we fall asleep!
We had to drop off Rose, then Mimi, and then drive back to Noelle's to get my car. Then Odum and I had to drive home. Good thing he and I live essentially across the street from each other. I really wanted to go home and watch the movie but I didn't think I'd last that long, seeing as how I got home at 1:30ish. I got in bed and watched the deleted scenes and the extended scenes, and then turned on the movie. I lasted until the car crash scene, and then I was toast. My eyes were rolling back in my head and I figured it was time to turn off the TV and go to sleep!
