Tipsy Favs: TV Shows

November 2, 2010 by

We’re going to let you guys in on a little Tipsy secret, we are TV people!!!! We watch a lot of TV and we talk a lot about TV, but oddly enough, our favorites are all different!

Here’s ours, what are yours? (And how often are you hooked on the tube?)

  1. Der: Modern Family, I’m completely head over heels for Modern Family. The characters on that show could not have been more well cast and every single week I am laughing out loud at the shennanigans that goes on with that show. My only complaint is that I honestly wish it was longer than 30 mins.
  2. AK: The Good Wife, Only in its second season, The Good Wife has quickly turned into a “watch the night of” show for us in our household.  That’s a big deal, because we TiVo EVERYTHING and rarely watch things as they are on live that night.  But The Good Wife, it’s that good, I’m telling you!
  3. Sarah: Private Practice, this is literally the only show right now that I HAVE to watch the night of. The story lines just keep getting better and better…and if anyone saw the previews for this Thursdays episode, I know you’re on the edge of your seat right now!!!
  4. Court: The Office, This is a show I know a lot of people have jumped ship on; however this remains my absolute fav on the air right now. I laugh my ass off to the antics, one liners, and shit the characters do on this show….”you went over my head and then you lied to my face. So my head and my face have taken a beating”. Bahahahaaaa!

Shelved

October 28, 2010 by

The room we’re using for our nursery is the size of a shoebox small, so I’ve been trying to come up with creative ideas for storage, specifically a place to store books. I mean, I feel like I would be starting this whole motherhood thing off on the wrong foot if I had no books for my child…

  1. cb2, Wire 9-cube wall shelf
  2. Etsy, Vintage magazine hanging rack
  3. Etsy, Vintage painted metal shelf
  4. Etsy, Vintage wall shelf
  5. Etsy, Retro wall shelf

Lolita

October 26, 2010 by

Lolita glasses are probably the coolest thing since sliced bread. I started receiving the martini glasses as gifts awhile back, and once I was introduced to the rest of the Lolita line, I have have given them as gifts myself! They make great hostess gifts, Christmas gifts, birthday gifts, engagement gifts…the list goes on, and on, and on…oh yeah, and each Lolita glass comes with a cool cocktail recipe written on the bottom, how cool is that?

  1. Wicked Witch the 3rd
  2. Dirty Martini
  3. Wedding Champagne Set: (I gave these to Der and her hubby when they got engaged…aren’t they cute!?!?!)
  4. Beer Belly Pilsner Glass: (I think I need to start buying these pilsner glasses for my house!)
  5. 5 o’clock Somewhere Shot Glass: (These are great little gifts for guys. Who doesn’t love a shot glass?)

Tipsy Favs: Road Trip Song

October 21, 2010 by

We all have them, you know, that one song that you absolutely HAVE to listen to when you’re on a road trip.

Here’s our road trip songs, what are yours?

  1. AK, Pat Green “Carry On“: Oldie but goodie…my favorite line is “Billboards and Bullshit got her down”.  It’s one of those roll the windows down and blare it kinda songs.  Hopefully it’s sunny out.
  2. Sarah, O.A.R “That Was a Crazy Game of Poker“: I CAN NOT get enough of this song and it’s perfect for road trips because it’s almost 9 minutes long! So basically, by the time you listen to it a few times (you know, to figure out all the words), you’re probably at least half way to your destination.
  3. Melis, Hank Williams Jr. “Bartender Song“: During one of my many years spent in college, a group of friends and I decided to take a road trip to Colorado. For some reason we listened to this song almost once an hour on that 20 hour drive, don’t ask me why. But now when I think road trip this song always comes to mind…
  4. Court, Explosions in the Sky “Your Hand in Mine“: This is actually not a roll your windows down sing along.  Its all instrumental and has lots of highs and lows.  Pretty EMO song, but I love it.  Ben introduced me to this band and it’s since been one of my favs.  I think I love listening to this song because its 9 damn minutes long and its great to listen to while reading or riding along.

Mix together and enjoy!

Boots, Boots, Boots

October 20, 2010 by

Judging by my posts the past couple of weeks, I think I’m obsessed with boots! I don’t know what it is, but I want to make sure I have some cute options for this fall/winter. This time, I searched the latest boot fashion on endless.com and found some great new options!

Hmmm…which one should I choose….?

Dyson Dilemma

October 19, 2010 by

I have had a Dyson Vaccuum on my gift wish list for as long as I can remember (at least 3 years). But alas, I still don’t have one. I know these bad boys are uber-expensive, but since I’m a clean freak, I think I need the BEST tools to keep mi casa clean!

What do you think about the Dyson Vaccuum? Should I break down and get one or is it a waste of my hard earned $$$?
