Thank you HBO for making packing a little more bearable. I liked all of the movies, but Crazy Stupid Love was definitely my favorite of the bunch. Hello shirtless Ryan Gosling. Can anyone explain to me why Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds were not cast in Magic Mike? I'd like to speak with the casting director about this.

My BFF Liz came over Friday night to help me pack, but we ended up ordering pizza, watching movies and digging through old middle school and high school pictures. It wouldn't be right if I didn't share these two gems with you, so you are welcome.

I know. I don't have words either.
Kristina (the BFF in Vegas), Liz and I met in middle school and have been BFFs since. One of our favorite pastimes was to have "modeling shoots" at the neighborhood pool and/or our bedrooms (paging Chris Hansen) with our trusty disposable cameras. I can't make this shit up. Oh, to be 13 again.

HAHA! My girlfriends & I used to do the same exact thing! The things you did when you were a baby teeny-bop! "Those were the days!" Good luck on packing the rest this week!
ReplyDeleteI can TOTALLY relate. Good thing {or not?} that I can't find those pics... hoping they're long gone. Good luck with the closet packing this week - I know you'll need it!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Love the modeling pictures! Too funny. I have a great video of myself in 7th grade dancing with another friend to the Spice Girls "Tell Me What You Want". She was a bridesmaid in my wedding. Great moments. Good luck packing. It's just the worst...
ReplyDeleteThose were some great movies to get you through the weekend...I thought Crazy Stupid Love was amazinggggg too! :)
ReplyDeleteWerk it girrrrlll
ReplyDeleteWe used to spend copious amounts of time choreographing elaborate dance routines.
Hahaha my two besties and I used to have similar photo shoots...but I wore a floral one piece bathing suit...just awful!! Good luck packing:)
ReplyDeleteomg love this post haha. i def used to do dance routines! your blog is super cute and im so glad i came across it! i have a giveaway going on my blog if you'd like to check it out! xo
ReplyDeletebahaha! My friends and I used to do modeling shoots as well! I have a panoramic one of myself very similar to the one of you laying down! HAHA :) I would LOVE to be 13 again just for one day!
ReplyDeleteOMG. the modeling shots. that is all.
ReplyDeletebut seriously, love you girl. still bitter you aren't moving east :)
for the record, I, too, took modeling shots. if I'm feeling inspired I'll track some down and post sometime for your own enjoyment.
ReplyDeleteHilarious! I have some old pics very similar but thankfully, they are stashed away! Thanks for sharing. Best of luck with the rest of your packing! :)
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Back in the old days...who needs Instagram? I captured the moments via Fujifilm disposable cameras. And I may or may not have similar "modeling" photos, haha
ReplyDeletePacking sucks, royally. Good luck as you finish it up!!!!
How funny! My friends and I used to do modeling shoots in high school too although I can't say my pictures came out to being even nearly as pretty as yours were/are! Bear is such a cutie in the box too! Pack me pack me!
ReplyDeletePacking is the worst, but I would pack up everything I own, unpack and repack every night if Ryan Gosling were to take his shirt of for me in person. Um, yum.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the rest and if you dig up any more modeling pics, please do share. I have some awesome ones of me somewhere but those will never ever ever be publicized.
Thanks for linking up, pretty lady!
I totally had that TH tankini too! We were hot mamas :) haha!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh me and my girlfriends used to do the same "modeling" thing too! Too funny! Good luck with the rest of packing
ReplyDeletebahaha love the pictures :D The 90's were good times! Good luck with moving! I'll be thinking about you, and I hope it goes smoothly!
ReplyDeleteGurrrrl you are hawt in that tankini! Confession.. I had a TH tankini too! Weird haha. Agreed on the Magic Mike casting failure. I could definitely be okay with seeing Ryan Gosling stripping! Thanks for linking up love! :)
ReplyDeleteThese pics are amaaaaaaazing. You just might inspire me to go through old pics, though I'm afraid the majority of them are at my mom's house in Georgia. But looking through all the ones I have here sounds like a PERFECT way to waste time. I'm on it.
ReplyDeleteMoving is so emotional!!! You're physically exhausted from all the packing and boxing and everything, plus the anxiety around leaving everyone that you love . . . I remember the feeling well. But you're gonna be FANTASTIC and your new life in Vegas is certain to be full of excitement and adventure. I, for one, can't wait. :)

I need to move so badly but I seriously dread the thought of packing lol. That's so pathetic!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with us :)
LOVE shirtless Ryan Gosling! Seriously, why were neither Ryan's in Magic Mike?! :)
ReplyDeleteI vote you get a Great Dane for Vegas!!
ReplyDeleteyour friday night sounds like a blast! :) love the old pictures!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you aren't having that bad of a time packing, those are all great sounding movies! So sad you are leaving that super cute pup behind :( He is adorable in that box.. You could just pack him right up haha!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are hilarious! :D
aside from the packing part sounds like a great weekend. I love having my friends over to look through old photos
ReplyDeleteLove your modeling pics! There is nothing better than sitting with a good friend and looking through old pictures. You definitely needed that before this big move!
ReplyDeleteHaha love it! And pretty sure I had the same Tommy tankini!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAhahah. I'm dying over your modeling pics. I'm pretty sure my BFFs and I did the same embarrassing thing!
ReplyDeleteGood move! Watching awesome and entertaining movies is a very brilliant idea in making the whole packing process less boring and stressful. However, watching movies can also be a distraction and may affect your focus in organizing your things. It’s okay and normal to have your attention diverted though, as long as you can still find time to finish the packing flawlessly. Plus, you have your sweet friend to help you, so no biggie. =)

One good thing about packing is that you get to see things that you have long since forgotten. And once you see them, all the memories start flooding back. It is a wonderful experience. That’s why I never skip packing my own things when we move out of the house. Last time we moved out, I found the earrings that I lost several years ago. And it was my mother’s favorite pair!

When you're moving, it's important to provide yourself with all the packing supplies you need -- moving boxes, tapes, plastic bags, bubble wrapper, etc. Uhm, I hope that Bear didn't trouble you while your packing. You look stunning on your tankini photo, by the way. :)
