It’s Friday! That means it’s time for another round of Friday Favorites with Amanda from Meet at the Barre (which has quickly become a must read around these parts)
Of course, we’ll kick it off with my favorite song of the week. This week’s honoree is Theory of a Deadman’s The Truth Is…(I Lied About Everything). You know how people love to talk about Taylor Swift and her ability to shit on her exes in a song? Well, this song bitch slaps Taylor Swift’s attempts because this? THIS is how you do a breakup song. Warning: it uses some expletives and graphic language so if you’re at work, turn the sound down. Unless you work somewhere really awesome and they don’t care about that kind of stuff.
Favorite blogs
I wrote about a few of my favorites once before and now it’s time for the second installment. As a relatively new lifestyle blogger, many blogs that have been around awhile are brand new to me, and it makes me sad that it took so long to discover them although better late than never, right? Here’s this month’s list:
- Another Housewife–written by my dear friend Jenniemarie whose ass I will kick if she doesn’t start working on her memoir soon, it’s a blog about her faith, her family, her struggles with depression (which I completely understand on a level I wish I didn’t), and her life in general.
- Voyage of the Mee Mee–I adore Amanda’s blog. She makes me laugh a lot and most of her posts have me blurting out “I wish I had thought of that” because she’s just so damn entertaining. Also, her use of GIFs is spectacular and I want to know where she finds them.
- Vodka and Soda–another one who makes me laugh out loud and often. Plus she’s from Toronto so we can just add her to the long list of awesome things to come out of that place. Like Rush. I’m thinking there’s something in the water or some shot they give them at birth that just generates awesomeness. (Incidentally, the band featured in this week’s favorite song is also from Canada. The other side of the country, but still. What the hell, Canada?)
- Eternally Wanderlyn–Lynsey’s series on Love Every Body is worth checking out her blog, and the rest is worth sticking around for. She’s another work from home/I hate pants/wannabe hermit so I feel that she and I are kindred spirits.
- Life by Nadine Lynn–If I lived closer to Nadine, I feel that we’d hang out on a regular basis. We both love beer, have similar taste in music, and I think maybe her little dog Mac is a breed cousin to my crazy dogs. Plus, she has a 40 X 40 list and I’m totally going to steal the idea even though I have way less time to 40 than she does.
Favorite TV Show
We just got HBO back ($10 a month for a year? Yes, please) so we’re finally getting around to watching True Detective. Holy shit, y’all. That show lives up to ALL the hype it got and then some. I’m sad there’s only 8 episodes and we’ll be done by the weekend but O.M.G. What a well spent 8 hours.
Favorite shoes I would wear if I could
As a short person, I enjoy a nice pair of heels. You know, so I’m basically the same height as everyone else. But once the heel gets higher than, say, 2 inches, I can’t walk. You might as well throw me onto a pair of stilts. Which eliminates a whole lot of shoes. Sadly. However, I’m seriously contemplating not caring because these are amazing.I mean, just look at them:
However, there is no way I’m paying $93 for shoes that will kill my feet. You can’t tell from the picture, but that’s a 4 1/2″ heel. No, thank you. I’ll stick with being short in flip flops and flats.
Favorite quote
I happened upon this as a temporary tattoo (I don’t know how. Pinterest is a weird little animal) but it’s a great quote anyway.
omg a shout-out!! thanks, girl. i love reading stuff like this 🙂
and canada churns out some awesomesauce – ryan gosling, jim carry, rush, ryan reynolds, rachael mcadams. however, we’ve also unleashed some heinousness unto humanity like bieber, nickleback and drake. sorry, world 🙁

Drake is somewhat forgiveable. Nickelback and Bieber, though? At least you have lots of good things to keep the balance. Like Coffee Crisps.
love all of those blogs! and those shoes, too cute!

I wish I could walk in heels so I could buy them.
Ahhhhhhh I got a shout out?!?!?! I have so many feelings. 🙂 I totally feel like we would be kicking it on the weekends and living by the motto of your quote…which is basically my life. YOLO!!! (I freaking hate YOLO but thought it was appropriate here.)
Also…you know I love Theory of a Deadman. Favorite song of theirs? Hard choice but probably Hate My Life. I literally lived that song a few years ago when I had a HORRIBLE job.
Have a great weekend! Cheers to beers!
I would love to have a blate with all the people on your list…and you…duh!
I had the same experience with that song. It’s so hard to pick a favorite, though. Bitch Came Back makes me laugh. Many make me sing loudly and badly.
Hooray for beer! One day I’ll find that cherry chocolate one you mentioned.
I need to read your first fave blog as that is the only one I don’t already! All good choices so I trust your judgement 🙂

Thank you! I think you’ll like Jenniemarie. She’s awesome!
Some of my favorite blogs!
True Detective freaking rocks. I loved Woody and MM in it.
SMD @ Life According to Steph recently posted…Friday Five – All Aboard the Good Ship Lollipop
They are so, so good! Especially MM.
I love Theory of a Deadman! The fact that I read all but one of those blogs means you have awesome taste! 😉 I need to get HBO back so I can catch up on True Blood and True Detective!
Kerry recently posted…If Friday Makes You Holler
No True Blood for me but Silicon Valley is hilarious. Highly recommend. And yay for another Theory of a Deadman fan!
Thanks sweet friend. An ass kicking is fully warranted but fear not I have actually started writing! Crazy, I know.
Love the shoes but I seriously walk like Bambi in heels!!
Jenniemarie @ Another Housewife recently posted…For the love of books
I am so glad you started writing. You know I am available to proofread, right?
Aww. A shoutout?! I feel so special. 🙂 Thank you!!!! And I love True Detective. I just wish they were using the same actors for season 2. I’ve been all about Game of Thrones lately though. 🙂
I’m not into GOT but I kind of like the idea of using different characters and actors for True Detective. So each season is like its own little story.
Theory of a Deadman has some of my most favorite songs to run and spin to!!! I love all the bloggers you highlighted they are absolutely some of my favs as well! Thanks so much for linking up!!
I have them on my running playlist. Which is hilarious. The fact that I run. Not that I listen to them.
Girl, you made my day with this! 😀 As far as the gifs go, I have no life and I spend hours combing the interwebs for them. ISN’T THAT AN AMAZING TECHNIQUE?!?! ;P
We got rid of our HBO b/c that and Showtime were $20 a month. Aw HAIL naw! What provider do you have? Are they offering some kind of deal? Did you have to promise them your first born child?
We have Verizon and since we’ve never had HBO through them, we got the deal. And I can’t stop watching!!!
Your technique is superb. I think I may steal it.
A few of the blogs you listed are new to me, so I will be sure to check them out – love discovering new bloggers! Happy weekend!
