Well, Peeps! Today is a great day. Why, you ask? Well, today is great for two reasons. The first is that TODAY IS LITTLE SISTER CHICKEN WING'S TWENTY-FOURTH BIRTHDAY! WOO HOO!!!!
Who doesn't love a good birthday now and then? So, to celebrate via the blog, I thought I would create a picture montage of the most ridiculous variety in honor of my sister! Here goes nothing, and a big THANK YOU to FaceInHole.com for being more than a little awesome.
One of our favorite childhood activities? Playing BARBIES!
We have danced in multiple recitals together!
Even though Little Sister CW usually goes for lean men,
and I usually go for men of the stronger variety,
neither of us can deny our love of the Beebs. Just sayin.
We love watching crap TV - Bring on the Wingashians!
We will be each others' maid of honor someday if we don't kill each other first!
And if we do kill each other, hopefully someone won't turn us into Chicken Nuggets!
I hope you enjoyed this ridiculous picture journey, Little Sister Chicken Wing! I love you and hope you have the best twenty-fourth birthday ever! I hope this year will be epic and that it will bring only good things your way!
The other reason that today is a good day is because my favorite show, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, is well underway! Last night was the very first competitive performance show and holy bologna, if that episode was indicative of how this season is going to go - we have our work cut out for us! Season Eight's bench is STACKED with talent - probably the most talent in one season that has ever been in the history of the show! Don't believe me? Check out this AHH-MAZING statue routine, choreographed by Travis Wall (of Season 2), set to a song by Ingrid Michaelson, and danced by Melanie Moore and Marko Germar:
Like I said - AHH-MAZING! Love doesn't even begin to describe it! I can't wait to see how the season progresses and how the dancers develop even further! And that is why today is a great day!
We briefly interrupt the snowstorm posts to bring you a song dedicated to the month of winter and to give you a great quote to chew on until the next post!!!
Every now and again, Mr. Chicken Wing and I will banter back and forth and occasionally, that banter gets downright annoying!
Sometimes, it's all fun and games, and sometimes it's just mundane.
But, I think one of the best lessons that I've begun to learn in this 5+ year relationship we've been on is that sometimes you just have to let go and quit worrying every time you start to pick on each other.
Instead of going the "woe is me" route and thinking that our relationship is falling apart because we "just can't get along" or because "he's picking on me" (which I might have been known to do once or twice...), sometimes just accept it and move on.
I know that Mr. Chicken Wing is a great guy, and he knows that I'm a great gal. Sometimes, we just have off days.
The reason for this post is that when you're pushing each other in the physical fitness department, sometimes you're going to bicker. (Yes, that's right...we're kicking each others' butts. The beach trip is coming soon, and we're trying to save the other beach-goers' eyesights!)
Usually, that bickering then leads to who didn't put their dishes in the sink, or who hasn't unloaded the dishwasher today. I know, it's wayyyyyy less glamourous than some would dilusion themselves to believe! But, after 5 years, I think we're still on the right track - towards domestic bliss! HAHA!
Either way, I came across this song by an artist that I absolutely adore, Ingrid Michaelson. You might remember her BIG moment, when her song "Keep Breathing" debuted on Grey's Anatomy.
This song, called "Giving Up," is lyrical greatness, and completely speaks to me.
Turn those speakers up and give it a listen! (And support her, because she is fabulous!)

I'm just a girl, out in the real world trying to figure out who and what I want to be! As of right now, I don't completely know either of those things, but what I do know is that I have been blessed with the most AMAZING fiance, family, and friends in the entire world, and this blog is for them as much as it's for myself!
