Tuesday Tunesday + The Voice

Happy Tunesday!

Hope you made it through April Fools without seeing too many fake engagements on your facebook feed or falling for a prank yourself.  Brad knew better and didn't play any stupid pranks on me, luckily!

Speaking of tunes, do any of you watch The Voice!?

Secretly a big fan of this show, especially this season.  The new judges were a good choice. Hello Errrrsher (although I do have one complaint, buddy, why do you wear sunglasses inside all the time?! I mean really, it's not bright indoors)!  Adam you're not too shabby yourself. Just went total fan girl and google imaged both of them for longer than I should admit.

Anyway, back to the actual show, I really like this set up for a singing competition because it shows off the contestants', well voices hence the name, and not stupid people who can't sing that just want their 15 mins of fame like on American Idol. They have the blind auditions where the judges don't even get to see who is singing and just focus on their talents, plus they are only showing the contestants that make the show or ones that are super close to making it. Oh, and did I mention Usher and Adam Levine are judges, because they're a bonus.....

The problem is I am a Grandma and only watch part of it each night, because it goes till 10.  How did I get through life before DVR?! I am still unsure who I would pick as my judge. Most likely Adam, because he has a wide range of music genres he can cross through and then we could fall in love and get married and have lots of pretty babies and live happily ever after together with tattoos and stuff. 

So yeah, that is my new show to fill the void of the Bachelor since I am not a fan of Des being the new Bachelorette. Who am I kidding, I will probably watch that, too. Totally Team Lesley.

And now for more music in the form of Tunesday:

Robert Raimon Roy :: Axela 

Evidently this Axela chick really made an impression on Robert Raimon Roy.  Good news is he got a great song out of it.  He is also going to wait for her, not sure if that is the best move or not dude, but I'll support your decision anyway.  

Mandolin Orange :: One More Down

This song always pops up on my pandora when I listen to The Head And The Heart station (probably because I thumbs-up'd it) and I really enjoy it.  It came up again the other day and it made me smile. *The link on the blog isn't quite as good of a version as the one above. Click on that one and it will take you to the good stuff.*

Alt-J :: Breezeblocks 

I have talked about Alt-J aka ∆ on the blog before, but this song - it's funky and weird and I can't stop listening to it.

Timeflies :: I Choose U 

I was nervous when Timeflies signed with a major record label that his sound wouldn't be as good, but I am really digging this song, especially when the beat drops right around the 1.04 mark. Heyo! This is the type of song I love working out to, it just gets me motivated to move.

Skizzy Mars feat. Conner Youngblood :: The Come Down 

The Skizzy Marz album Phases is a must listen. It's been in the works for quite some time and it is legit.

Mkkk folks, I'm out.  Until tomorrow,

More Cheese, Please

Hello Folks, 

First off, let's talk about how in the middle of the night I was having a dream that I was playing in a soccer game and went to score a goal and kicked the crap out of Bradley in real life...whoopsies.  Definitely startled him and then he couldn't go back to sleep, so he got up even though it was 4:30 in the morning... I felt bad / slash laughed and then fell back asleep until my alarm went off. I'm a good girlfriend like that.

And since I evidently realllllllly do not want this past weekend at the coast to end, let's blog about it some more, shall we?! You didn't think I could go all the way over to Tillamook and not hit up some cheese factories, did you?! We went to not one, but two! Yes and yes. 

First we stopped at the Tillamook Cheese Factory. 

Tyler was right to be scared for his life since Brannon was driving.

Look, Mom, no hands!

This photo is probably my favorite of the weekend.  Pretty photos of the beach have nothing on these two faces.

SQUEAKY....

CHEESE!

The size of this factory always impresses me. No matter how many times I visit.

Plus, their efficiency.  If I was half this efficient.. I wouldn't be finishing this post at work. 

so.much.milk.

After one too many cheese samples, we headed over to the Blue Heron Cheese Factory for lunch.

It has such a great vibe.  You order your food, your wine, your coffee, your beer - whatever your little heart fancies - and then pay on your way out.

I loved being able to wander around and look at all the nick-knacks.  (Including Christmas decorations)

And weird mermaid things.

What makes you smile?!

so.much.hot.sauce.

Did I mention there were samples everywhere?!

After loading up on cheese at Tillamook, I wasn't super hungry and went for their soup & 1/2 sammie comob. The Turkey & Brie Panini was quite yummy.

Brannon found the children's hats on the way out.  Too presh :)

If you're ever in Tillamook, you have to stop at both these places. It's like a law or something.  I looked it up.

I suppose I should finally be done blogging about my weekend, now that it's Thursday and all, but it was just so relaxing, I am trying to live in the past a bit longer since my coming weekend is the opposite. Oh well....

Cheers to Cheese!

Cheers to Thanksgiving!

Bradley and I are currently sitting at PDX waiting to head to Floyds Knobs, Indiana (yes, it's a real place, guys... no, I had never heard of it before I met Brad either!).  We're running on about 4 hours of sleep, since we had to get up at 3:15, but the turkey tomorrow should be worth it.  Plus, I am excited to check out his home town and spend time with good people.  Probably won't be around the blog much over the next few days, try not to miss me too much!

Say goodbye to the stache.  It's going away tomorrow :(

Anyways, enjoy your Thanksgiving.  Hopefully everyone gets to eat yummy food with good friends and family.  I already have my fat pants on in preparation.

Cheers to Stuffing!
