Why Miley Why?

Watching an Ellen re-run right now and Miley Cyrus is on and ugh I am sorry I just can't deal. From her "new" haircut , color, and raspy voice. I just think she tries TOO hard. But my main question is WHY LIAM WHY?!? You are too cutie patootie for her wanna be "rockstar" phase. Although that being said, you did just beat someone up in the middle of Philly while filming...hmm....


OK so actually I just threw up all over Miley, I was looking for  a pic. to post and I think it's just her hairdo I don't like. There are some super cute pics of the two of them, I just don't like the do.

xoxo sorry for hatin' Miley!

Christmas Songs


OK so here are some of my favorite Christmas Songs (not videos, but I did youtube them so you could listen more easily with a link)

All I Want For Christmas by Mariah Carey

This just makes me feel SO happy! Besides her voice is AMAZING!


Christmas Shoes by Bob Carlisle

OK yes this song is sad and a little depressing, but it really reminds me of a time in my life that it gave me hope when I 
didn't have much and makes me cry AND smile! 


Santa Baby by Madonna

I just think this is a fun song and I like how she adds all that sensuality and sexuality to it!


Up on the Roof Top by Jackson 5

This is just such a cute song that has a great beat, love their voices! I used to listen to this on repeat while I was in the shower this time of year, so random, but love it, ha!



Baby it's Cold Outside by Dean Martin

OK I get a little too into this song. I love it! I try and picture myself back in the "day" in this era and as the woman, a little tipsy but wanting to stay and knowing she should leave, so romantic and scandalous!

Narrowing it Down

Yes, Yes, I must admit that I did visit the paint store again last evening and got 2 more samples of paint. I got the official paint numbers from the pictures I posted yesterday and was on my "merry" way. And if you were going to ask if the paint people were any more helpful, my answer is NO! I tried my best, prying and probing them for answers, joking around, then being dead serious and NOTHING! I even looked the guy square in the eye and said "which one would YOU choose", you don't even want to know his answer, just know it was NOT helpful!

I ended up going with the one shade darker than my hubby's Benjamin Moore classic gray, it's called Balboa Mist. I didn't want to risk going too light (like i did the first time with a gray). Then I also went with Benjamin Moore's Oyster Shell. They both look great on the wall. I'll post the picture below, but it really doesn't do it justice. Like really does NOT do it justice. But you can get he picture.



I don't think we can go wrong. It just depends which one we bring into the other (dinning room) underneath the chair rail. Hubby suggested taking down the chair rail and doing the living room the RIGHT color and the dinning room the LEFT color.

Sample Please

For the love of Paint Colors people!!!!


It's not painters that keep Paint Stores like Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams in business... it's indecisive people like me who lack creativity and decorating ability that go in day after day and by $7-$8 samples!

I mean come on people! And what is even worse, the people who work at these stores are Z-E-R-O help! I've been to 3 paint stores over this project (painting the living room) and I feel like no one is the standard of help I need. OK yes I know I have high standards, but I need someone to help guide me in the right direction.

I tell them: I want LIGHT. NOT white, but LIGHT! And I want hues of gray and hints of light light blue. They just look at me and stare like I have 4 heads and then pull out the pallet that has nine hundred different colors on it, which puts me back to square 1!

Here are some websites of room colors I like:

Tranquility (minus 2 drops of blue... apparently)

"Who Dun It"?

Pardon me, but that was the best case of "who done it" I have seen in awhile!



Standing in the kitchen making lunch today clearly our dog, Harley, has to go outside. BUT, he is going to have to wait until I wash my dirty hands and can open the door. 

So all of a sudden I hear a small "pow" (yes for lack of a better word that is what we are calling farts these days) and I look down and Harley is jumping, in fact quite startled! He is looking around like "who, what, what was that"? and then reaches around back to smell.

Way to play it off pup, ha!

Hottie Alert

Just in.....

Liam's Hemsworth is shooting downtown Philly for one of his new films! 



My friend just texted me that the Actor is filming outside her work building! So I googled it and apparently he was in town back in August shooting "Paranoia". Maybe they came back to do some second...third...fourth takes!

Hopefully she can get a shot of him for us on set.


Pregnancy Privacy

So I know that as soon as I found out about the Duchess I did what I do best... spoke before I thought.... MommaMotorMouth in her finest! 



But then I really got to reading more and thinking....... and I find it truly sad that because she is famous she had to tell the world she was pregnant BEFORE she was out of her first trimester. Due to her hyperemesis she was hospitalized and I am assuming the Royal Family knews would break and information would be leaked about her condition.  

And all I can think now is Poor Kate. For those of you that have had "your first" baby or are pregnant with your first, you know that feeling of "it's too good to be true" or "God Willing", "Fingers Crossed", etc. etc. And most of that is getting through the first 12 weeks, then 18 weeks, then 20, etc. and eventually it is until the baby is delivered then healthy. And then as a mom and a parent you automatically become a worry wort, so it never stops!

But in this case, Kate must be so scared and have so many questions and most likely want to keep all things private, but instead they must tell the world so that it doesn't leak first!

Wishing you the best William and Kate!

Romance

OK, so you caught me, I am currently blogging and watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I NEVER watch these shows, but I have watched this series before...

Well.... the woman woman is an ex-model from Denmark (I think) and she states "I told [my husband] that I didn't want jewelry, I wanted love letters"


... and then cue the husband "I have been writing my wife love letters for 6 years".

 I absolutely LOVE that! 

Duchess Catherine aka Princess Kate

PREGNANT! PREGNANT! PREGNANT! PREGNANT! 




That's right! Our Duchess (whom I still refer to as Princess Kate), well UK's Duchess, is pregnant! I am so incredibly excited for her & William, their families and the Queen Mum! If you ever read any of my early posts on CopadeCava, you will know how obsessed I am with the Royal Family! Yes I taped and watched the whole Wedding, everything that lead up to the Wedding, and everything that followed. Even the Queen Mum's Diamond Jubilee celebration. And I always end up crying! I just love them! Kate is so classy and cute and just seems like a genuine person!





Happy Holidays

I cannot watch this video without tearing up and trying not to let out sobs!


My Dad sent me this link over the wedding. With flash mobs being all the rage, T-mobile did a good job with this commercial from last Christmas. YES, it is a commercial, BUT I just love the pureness of it. 

Not saying I think that it could actually happen, but it brought out something inside me. I know we all get a little crazy around the Holidays and some of us may get pretty stressed out, but in all reality, this is how I imagine Christmas in my head. 

I guess I have some pretty great memories as a kid growing up that I just want everything to be so perfect for me and my family each year when this time comes around. And then before I know it, it's December 26th, everyone has left my house after a night meal and evening full or sharing, caring, games, and presents and it is all over. Gone. I really, really want to try and enjoy and savor the moment this year as many times as possible (cause in all reality I know it won't be a 24-hour phase).

Anyway, see if you can watch it without tearing up or feeling giddy inside!

Jokes on YOU!

I got this video link from a friend and it is absolutely hilarious! It's 6 minutes and you need to listen to it even if it's just a little sound. 




Part of me thinks- how do these people not know they are being pranked? I mean where do they THINK this little girl came from? But then I remember that the Spanish/Portuguese cultures are normally pretty religious (and you can hear the references to "Dios" in there a few times). And I also think it is in the heat of the moment. I think I would be the woman curled in a ball in the floor. I secretly wanted the little girl to touch the people, but then the practical adult in me thought, "well she probably can't for legal purposes. That is why they have you sign a waiver before you go into a haunted house where people DO touch you"
