My best friend is legal
So...it's my brother's 21st birthday today. AKA THE BEST DAY OF MY FAMILY'S LIFE.
Dear Benny:
1) Welcome to the club. Life gets soooo much better starting now.
2) Because I blew my whole budget on Mom's birthday presents...I kept it pretty simple and just got you a pool full of beer. I know it's just dudes in there right now but maybe you can convince those ladies to come in too.
Best sister ever?

I love you and you and you and you
Ohhh Valentine's Day. Have you ever noticed how strong people feel towards Valentine's Day? Some people go way overboard and some people get waaaay too depressed. I'd like to think I ride the fine line of normalcy- when I have a boyfriend I don't expect too much and when I'm single I don't get depressed and sit the couch with a pint of ice cream and 5 hours of Gilmore Girl DVDS.
No no, I simply like to use Valentine's Day as a reminder of how much I love the people in my life. And how much I love hearts. And pink. And glitter. And fuzzy decorated socks.
Yesterday was a lovely day filled with all of those things. Here are some snapshots of the fun: 
For dinner, my ladies and I made the most delicious chicken roll-up things that look kind of gross in that picture but you guys, you HAVE to make them. Recipe here. They're super healthy and my mouth has been watering thinking about that sauce all day. Note: We switched out the sour cream with Fage and it just as tasty (and healthier??)
Happy happy post-Valentine's Day to all. Thanks for reading and supporting me and showing me love every day. xoxo

Grammy's Part IS IT ALMOST OVER
Ooo Barbara performance? Ok. Oooooo she looks beautiful. Boring.
Nicky Minaaaaageeeee in the houseee. Ew Eminem scares me. He won. I’m happy for him. I’m not happy for his plastic surgeon. Detroit stand up.
I’m literally exhausted and just now feeling my hangover from last night.
Whats the deal with Ditty’s intense grills?
DRAKE PERFORMANCE.
Ooooooo this is hot. Shake it girl. Sing it boy. This is hot.
Ok.. Uncomfortably hot.
Um
Wow.
I can’t stop starting at her jeweled crouch. I think this is the point?
Let’s take a Glitter Me This poll…how would I look with Rihanna’s hair color? I want it.
Loving this funky African breakdown. This is great.
Is that it? Don’t end. Please don't end. I haven't seen something that hot since I taped the Victoria's Secret fashion show and paused it every 15 seconds to oogle.
Jenny from the block time. THAT my friends is how you dress like a disco ball. I bow to you my queen. Marc Anthony aka Skeletor freaks me out.
Oh my god. Lady Antebellum just swept best album. Wow. That’s pretty crazy. I’m sorry but could you get bigger than Empire State of Mind this year? I don’t think so.
Arcade fire- it has been way too long of a night and I’m all the sudden way too hungover for you right now. Ouch. Seriously, this is hurting my head.
WHY IS THIS AWARDS SHOW SO LONG??
Album of the year I’m falling asleep at my computer. If anyone is even still reading this IDENTIFY YOURSELF. I will send you a present.
Ew Arcade Fire just won? Can I go to bed now? This is bananas. Gaga wore skin shoulder pads for the love of god. Does this mean Arcade Fire plays again?
Is this like American Idol when they get to do an end victory song? ...only these people didn’t just get kicked off so I’m very confused.
Should I like Arcade Fire? I don’t think it’s my jam.
To all of you precious people that just read all of this: Get a life. Seriously, you probably just wasted a few hours. Just keeeeding! I love you all!!!! Thank you!!! Next year in Jerusalem!
Secrest Out.
Grammy's Part SEEEIS
Lady Antibellum time. Sorry Andrea Clift but…this means DVR time. They’re good but come on I’m falling asleep. Where is Gwyneth Paltrow already? Thank you lady Antellbelum for that, I needed to take a pee break anyway.
Best Country Album. Another pee break? Ok fine, more Reese’s.
OOOOO ooooo cee lo time!!!!!!! Gwyneth!!!!?? EE eeeeeee. And the puppets. Oh god. I’m so excited.
Omg look at that set.
CEE LO THERE ARE NO WORDS. Gwyneth. Feathers. I can’t type fast enough. I can’t. I just can’t handle this. I’m not kidding. I’m sweating. OH MY GOD HER SHOES. I might pass out. She’s on the piano. I can’t even write commentary to this. Obviously this was the best most unreal part of the show. YES. Thank you this show is now complete. There was a puppet pug in a parrot costume I mean? I need to take a breath.
Neil Patrick Harris please talk to me you perfect man you.
KATY PERRY PERFORMANCE. Please blow me away. Please.
I see sparkles? Obviously, yes. I think I need sparkle tights. Please zoom in on her nails pleaseeeeeee. I hope that swing starts swinging over the stage cirque de soliel style. Oooo something is happening.
Swing is moving. We have swing movement. Ohhhh myyyyy gooddddd wedding footage? Wedding footage? Wow. Ok. Kind of dying.
Ok we’re picking it up. Valentine montage!!!?? HERE WE GO!!!
Dancing with my Tostitos and Reeses. (is this why my brother is my valentine and I’m single?? Shut up).
La la la I love this la la la la. Aaand I’m officially singing along. Oh Katie. You melt my glitter pop sparkle girlie heart.
Is that Norah Jones??? Oh my god. OMG OMG OMG JOLEEN COVER???????
MY HANDS ARE SWEATING. Norah. Oh my god. This is too much. Seriously though, do you think John Mayer is sick or something?
Don’t stop singing!!!!!! Keep going!!!! Why is this song ending??
SONG OF THE YEAR. I can’t get over how good Norah looks and how messed up John Mayer is. Lady Antebellum wins. Whatevsies.
Seth Rogan just made a Miley weed joke. YES. God I love him.
RIHANNA TIMEEEEEE HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOO.
Why don’t I ever like what she wears? I can’t get enough of her red hair though. Great makeup. Adam Levine you pound that piano.
Very fire-y. Bored.
I hearrrr Em. Come out of the flames like a pheonix why don’t you?
Mmmm I love me some Eminem. Rihanna looks intense. Such an ugly dress.
Dancing dancing on my couch.
Who is this person? She’s hot? I’m happy so Eminem is back in my life, I really did miss him. Seriously who is this girl? And why won’t they go to a close up? She sounds like the Cranberrys.
Kinda bored….oh you too?
DR. DRE IN THE HOUSE
Fresh kicks Dre. I’m bored with this set design. Damnit that was so underwhelming.
Ok really quickly can I just say…..that performance totally sucked but those few right before it (Cee Lo, Norah, Katy Perry etc.) were transcending. Moving on.
New artist: If its Bieber I’m done.
The winner is…um….who?? Who is this person? Please don’t judge me for not knowing. Love her dress and love her hair. Giiiiirllll. I have a feeling this was a big upset? Great speech. Great shoes.
Awkward Grammy Academy speech. I hate not being able to fast forward. And now we’re going into the legacy tribute. I’m tired.
Oooooo a little Mick Jagger?? Ok. Thank you. Kinda fun he’s such a performer.
How much longer are these on? I’m exhausted.
Grammy's Part CINCO
SOMEONE REMIND ME WHY EVA LONGORIA IS THERE. Omg because of Justin Bieber? Is this for real?
Usher is coming on stage with Bieber. I feel uncomfortable. They both talk in a sort of wisper like they are trying to sex me with their voices. I appreciate this with Usher. Stop doing this Bieber it makes me feel very yucky.
Ok…liking his guitar on a stool breakdown. Ooooo pickin up the pace a little bit. Omg ninja bongos??? What is this. Get it get it get it.
Ninja dancing with little swords how am I still bored? Maybe it’s because this song sucks. I’ll say never. NEVER. NEVER.
YESSSS PLEASE JADEN SMITH BREAK IT DOWN. Jaden Smith makes me a little too excited to admit on a public space such as this. Awww look at Jada and Will cheering.
Usher comin in with the fog machine. I’m now dancing with my Reese’s…please stop judging me. What are you doing? Eating Doritos and picking your butt?
I really love a good Usher breakdown. You make me want to say oh oh oh oh Usher. Cool dance sequence between the Biebs and Usher. Where is Jaden I miss him. Ew Usher got way sweaty.
Best rock album being announced. Already bored.
Selina Gomez and Donnie Walberg presenting together? Ha.
Whoa is an intense category. Gaga won. OHHH MYYYY GOD. LOOK AT WHAT SHE’S WEARING. Hahahahahahahhahahahahahha
Hahahahahahahhahaha
Hahahahahha.
Oh god she’s going to go into the monster speech that she does ugh. She has horns. Gaga has horns.
Wow Selena Gomez really really looks hot.
We get it Gaga. Adversity. We know. Whitney Houston shout out? Interesting.
John Mayer actually is starting to really really freak me out- what’s wrong with him.
DYLAN PERFORMANCE HERE WE GO.
Ooooo Mumford & Sons sing to me. Sing to me, sweet sweet beautiful boys. Please let Dylan actually pick up a guitar and or harmonica right now unlike his recent (disappointing) concerts. Mumford is amazing. Best performance of the night so far.
Avett Bros time. I want the Mumford hotties back. But this is beautiful. Will there be some big collaborative finale with everyone?
Bored.
And kind of weird lighting.
BOB DYLAN time. Please have a guitar.
OOOOOOOOOO MAGGIES FARM. MAGGIE’S FARM!!! Don’t care bout the guitar anymore. Sing it for me. Damn it he sounds terrible but how awesome is this group?? Yes yes yes yes. Ok he still sounds like himself, just a little scratchier. God this must be soo cool for all of these guys. Loving this. I love crazy Bob Dylan.
YES YES YES YES harmonicaaaaaaa!!! ……for 5 beats. I’ll take it. Haha Bob Dylan is such a grouchy badass.
Grammy's Part FOUR
Aaaaaand the Gaga performance is starting. The hibernation pod is opening. WILL SHE BE A BUTTERFLY? I see some latex. Ooooo fierce body. Wow seriously no carbs for a while have done her good. Hot hot bod.
FINALLY DANCING. Omg this is actually hot. Loving it so far. I like the ode to Madonna hair.
Oh my god you guys….she has skin shoulder pads. SKIN SHOULDER PADS. They are glued on and flash toned.
Oh god, set change???? Is it about to get weird up in this bitch? (nope false alarm) That’s a cool organ.
Naked? Has everyone gotten nakie? I like some nakie. I wonder if all the dancers are like hermaphrodites or something else groundbreaking. Can’t you see that headline? “Gaga sets the record for most hermaphrodites on a stage at one time”
Ok- that was safe? That was not groundbreaking? But actually I did like that. I’d like this show to be brought up a couple of notches though.
Miranda Lambert is beautiful and she sings with such passion buttttt…this is pretty much what DVR was invented for. FAST FORWARD.
This better get more exciting. I think it actually might be something to do with the set that is falling a little flat for me. Like these screens behind the performers feel a little disconnected. It feels like a little too stark?
Oh my god you guys seriously did you see Leann Rimes?? She looks emaciated.
Muse performance. Here we go.
Well they’re all wearing sparkle suits so…hello.
I’m not thaaat into Muse so I’d probably fast forward this too. I need more tostidos.
Ok wait- cool effects going on all the sudden. We have a falling stage and masked men fake breaking the set. Ok I like these visuals a lot. This is really theatrical.
Bruno Mars. B.O.B. Janelle Monae. Please give me something exciting.
What is it with the way Bruno Mars looks that freaks me out so bad. B.O.B. is wearing a monocle. So who is this Janelle person? I love love love her rock star hair.
BORED.
B.O.B’s looks kind of freak me out too. He kind of looks like a skinnier Dave Chappelle.
Oh whats this? Are we about to have a soul breakdown?
Hm. Black and white? Still kinda boring. But Bruno can definitely break it down. Oooo getting sexier. Ok I’m kind of liking this. Is Janelle going to come out in a red sparkly number that they’re going to add color to amongst the black and white?
Ok not red sparkles but she did rise from the stage. Who is she again? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again….living in NYC kind of removes me from what is going on in the radio world.
Is she wearing adidas sambas? Throwback alert. OH NO OH NO. Crowd surfing fail. I’m still kinda bored. Maybe it’s because there haven’t been sparkles for a few minutes.
Country vocal performance award. I hate that I’m watching this live and don’t have DVR fast forward capabilities. Aw i'm happy for this cutie Miranda Lambert. Country friends...do we like her? I need to be educated.
I need a Reese's Peanut Butter Cups break...pardon me.
