Song of the Day- The Last Time- Taylor Swift ft. Gary Lightbody

So, tonight I’m taking my daughter to her very first real concert. She is beyond excited to see Taylor Swift. I am sad the chances of hearing this song performed with a very special guest are slim to none.

Today is my husband’s birthday, and this is his favorite song. So there. Incidentally, we realized last night that we’ve now celebrated 15 of his birthdays together. Here’s to many, many more, @elzeedude .

All this Great Gatsby stuff has got me wanting to watch Baz Lurhmann movies again. It’s raining today, so I might have to sit down and spend some time with Leo and Claire.

Is it absolutely insane to spend $130 on one tray of 20 large “gourmet” cupcakes and one tray of 48 mini-cupcakes? Because common sense tells me maybe it is. Especially since I can likely get just as much cakeish product (probably much more) for a lot less. But… BUT. It’s for my husband’s 40th birthday party. Does that make it less insane? Also, they are freaking delicious cupcakes. Thoughts?

Just realized it’s been a while since I posted any M&S. Since it’s a gray, rainy day here, this one seemed appropriate.

#ACLFEST | 2013 Lineup Hints

#ACLFEST | 2013 Lineup Hints:

Austinites are posting clues to the 2013 Lineup, Get Clued In Now!

They’re announcing the 2013 Austin City Limits Festival Line-up Monday at Midnight, but they’ve started dropping names of bands appearing. This is the best idea… they’ve put band names and the hashtag #ACLFEST on cups, napkins, etc. at local business and asked people who find them to post them. So far, a pretty good line-up has been uncovered:

Grouplove
fun.
haim
Neko Case (!)
The Joy Formidable
Jake Bugg
True Believers
Local Natives
Shovels and Rope
Portugal. The Man
The Smith Westerns
Junip
…. and Muse have reportedly let slip that they’re a headliner, so there’s that.

Line-up looks to be awesome… now all I have to do is decide which weekend I want to go!
