Gratitude on the go! 8-25-13

Today I am grateful for:
-these quotes:
"If you want to be great, make others feel great."
"Reserve judgement about whether a situation is good or bad, you don't know what the next moment will bring."
-being able to pick Brittany up at the airport! I'm so happy she's back in town.
-being able to go back to sleep for a little while after picking Brittany up.
-kevin calling me to go get fro-yo. We gorged ourselves. Then we went back to my place and chilled on my bed for awhile. It was pretty awesome. Lots of laughter was had.
-the youth auditions being very quick and easy.
-a surprise ladies evening! Amanda, Brittany, Roomie, and I spent the evening together. Amanda made us some amazing baked mac and cheese with a side of cooked carrots and salad. It was outstanding. It was about 1000 degrees out though so we ended up eating in the bedroom with air conditioning. The table was set up beautifully before that decision was made. Picture evidence:

We were trying to be super classy.
It was just too damn hot to actually succeed
It's the thought that counts! 

We then ended up going over to the house I'm house sitting at to A) embrace there sweet central air and B) watch the VMA. We arrived literally right when JT started performing with N'SYNC. Could not have planned better timing. It was such an incredible evening! Oh and not to mention it looked like Ruth was one of JT's back up dancers:

Girl on the far left.
I mean, am I right?
Ruth, when were you gonna tell us?!

And also Robin Thicke looked like he was dressed up as Beetlejuice. Case in point:

Ridiculous.
Also do you see Lydia in the left hand corner?
Who ever photoshopped this picture is a GD genius. 

-laughter. Particularly these quotes that occurred tonight:

"My god... It's like eating out an angel."- Lydia in regards to Amanda's Mac and Cheese

"But...everyone else gets pants.."- me in reference to that one JT backup dancer.
"This years been a big year for me. I got my period this year..."- Lydia in reference to Demi Lovato winning an award.
"Flesh belt"- Amanda referencing 90's attire.
"god I bet her boots cost more than my rent." 
"well, to be fair, your rent is pretty cheap..."- an exchange between Amanda and Lydia.
"It's a candy launcher, not a thong, okay!? Use your fucking eyes!"- Amanda in reference to Miley Cyrus' outfit.
-the basics
-feeling happy
-as always, my friends. For real.
