5 on Friday: Current Obsessions beyond JTT

June 20, 2014 by Susan 9 Comments

I’m not so sure how you operate but I often find myself getting really passionate about something {anything: hair products, songs, tv shows, a new shirt or maybe even a favorite pet…} for about ten to fifteen minutes of my life.  I will find myself absolutely obsessing over something - and then, if it doesn’t reach some internal mental rating - it magically vanishes from my day to day life.
For example, in 1995 when the song “As I Lay Me Down” came out - I seriously played it 197 times. Nonstop.  In my mom’s van.  While she was in a work conference and I was a 5th Grade, school skipping, tag along.  I’m not even kidding, I almost broke the 200 plays record.  And then one day, the song just magically disappeared.  
Jonathan Taylor Thomas though… now he was one middle school obsession that stuck.  I’m not too proud to admit that, even in college, I was beyond convince there was a chance that he and I would one day cross paths and get married.  Or that eventually, I would make a killin’ off my “one day vintage” Tiger Beat posters of him.  In mint condition.

…I’m still holding out hope.
My point is that my obsessions come and go.  What is awesome today, may be awesome tomorrow or ten years down the road.  Or it may just die as quickly as the batteries of my anti-skip discman did in 1995.
  
So today’s five are my top five current obsessions:

Only time will tell their length of overall obsessive coolness factor.
Dierks’ “Drunk on a Plane!”  
Turn up your speakers.  Even if you’re at work.  Put it on repeat.  Now start dancing!

Friday Weddings!  {And a Saturday off!}
Which is exactly where I am right now.  As a wedding planner in June, it’s rare to have a day off.  Especially a Saturday!  I’m PUMPED.  {Albeit I do have plenty of prep work to do for Sunday’s event on Saturday - the point is that I can sleep in!}  Cross your fingers and do an anti-rain dance for me though.  I have an outdoor ceremony today and an outdoor 90th birthday celebration on Sunday.

Wrist Tattoos.
But I’m not allowed to get one.  Yes, I’m thirty.  Yes, I said “I’m not allowed.”  
My folks have this super lame rule that if my sister or I get a tattoo, even an itty bitty one, we will lose all of our inheritance.  I’ve asked to see their proof via their will numerous times to confirm said rule.  They’ve yet to produce it.  But with the amount of rental properties they own, dare I risk a semi-hefty inheritance years from now?  Is it worth the gamble?
Hypothetically, I skip town and get a tattoo.  What would I get, you ask?
I’m leaning towards the word breathe.  With a watercolor splatter mark.  
And /slash/ Or my grandmother’s signature.
Do you have a tattoo?  Did you folks care?

I’m leading another group Whole30 Challenge next month!

If you’ve never done it, it’s an amazing experience in restarting your eating habits.  For 30 days you give up dairy, grains, beans and legumes, booze, and processed/added sugars.  Basically you eat a lot of veggies, fruit, meat and fish.  It’s so much easier to do with a group, for the emotional support beyond the doors of Chipotle.  To help you out, I create a weekly meal plan with a ton of my favorite recipes.  If you’re interested in the deets or you want to get on the mailing list - hit me up!  We are starting on July 16.  This gives you enough to time celebrate the fourth of July, as well as my sister’s birthday.  The more the merrier!

Orange is the New Black.
Did I tell you that one of my friends and I took off work last Monday for an #OITNB marathon day?  We only made it through the first five episodes, as we needed time to chit-chat and time to prepare our orange foods and decor. 
We had mimosas, orange soda, orange veggies to dip in semi-orange hummus, orange chocolate, orange tictacs, orange sweet potato fries, orange tomatoes, and steak.  {All the salmon was sold out.}
We even wrapped up with a couple bowls of orange sherbet.  Needless to say, my newly lactose and gluten intolerant body quickly rejected the sherbet, and put an end to our relaxing afternoon of lounging.

I’m pretty sure that whenever I pay hookie from work in the future, a theme will be mandatory.
Are you a #OITNB fan?  Have you finished binge watching season 2 yet?
That’s it today friends!  If you’re stopping by from the linkup, please leave a comment below!  I absolutely love meeting new bloggers!  Have a wonderful weekend y’all!
It’s friday!  Of course I’m linking up with April {A.Liz Adventures}, Christina {North Carolina Charm}, Darci {The Good Life}, and Natasha {Hello! Happiness} for Five on Friday!
For the love of an inheritance - I still want to get a tattoo!
Until next time…

    I’m obsessed with “Drunk on a Plane” too! I love your 5 current favs!

    • http://www.2catsandchloe.com/ Susan @ 2catsandchloe

      Gracias Jess! Gracias. Now go dance it out to Drunk on a Plane and pretend we are drinking wine together. That dance party 2 nights before my wedding was pretty awesome.

    Ahhhhh! My fav song…I’ve deemed it the “official” 2014 Song of Summer! :) I have 2 tattoos {which tends to surprise most people}…one on my back {yes, it’s a tramp stamp…you know, to remind me how thoughtful I was when I was 21} and one on the inside of my foot near my heel,

    • http://www.2catsandchloe.com/ Susan @ 2catsandchloe

      I will agree with you on it being the song of the summer Leslie!! It is so fun. I am also liking Brad Paisley’s “Riverbank” song - simply because songs about the river are rare! :) And I would’ve never have guessed you to have a tramp stamp! hahaha Good memories though right?!

    I have a pretty obsessive personality as well. I remember one time when I was like 12, Usher’s song “You Make Me Wanna” had just come out. I was on a trip with my family and BFF at the time. We had one discman and therefore my mom made us share - I got to listen to the song 5 times in a row, she got to do the same and repeat…for HOURS.

    And Drunk On a Plane might be the next 5 songs on my playlist…..

    • http://www.2catsandchloe.com/ Susan @ 2catsandchloe

      Gotta love sharing the discman! And I too went through my Usher-on-repeat phase! 😉

      • Samantha Green

        I should have also mentioned - I distinctly remember a diary post all about JTT and going to see Man of the House for my birthday celebration……#backoff 😉

        • http://www.2catsandchloe.com/ Susan @ 2catsandchloe

          Bahahaha! My sister and I pretty much rocked out to the Man of the House dance moment, every.single.day. Even now, when I hear “Everybody Dance Now” my mind goes straight to JTT dancing it out wearing an oversized hoodie and indian feather! You and I were meant to be blog-friends! 😉

          • http://www.2catsandchloe.com/ Susan @ 2catsandchloe

            Turn up your speakers Samantha… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12VUjgYMm1U
