“All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible".

I had so much fun dancing yesterday!

At the end of the night, at that hour when everything is funny and they play the bad music to get you to leave, I danced like crazy to Miley Cyrus´ “7 Things", while singing at the top of my lungs.

And then the muscles of my right thigh seized.
It still hurts, but man! it´s good hurt.

So here´s the Happy-Song Monday! even though it´s Sunday.

And yeah, those 12 year olds REALLY creep me out.

I´ve been going around humming this song for 2 days now.

Memorial Days are for memories, in my book.

I’ve met so many wonderful people in my life and even though some of them are gone now, I still remember them and the funny things they used to do or say.

Strangely enough, I miss my dad the most.

There’s no sycamore tree in my yard, but remembering comes easy on nights like this.

To my american readers, sweet dreams ’til sunbeams find you. Have a happy Memorial Day!

To my non-american readers, sunbeams have found you and they brought another Monday. I hope it goes easy on you.

Wedding Planning has officially began.

I don’t think Slightly Lively will turn into a wedding blog, but it is my “journal", so let me indulge a little bit in what is to come.

At this time, these are my 3 favorite wedding dresses.
Which one do you like?

1. Silk tricotine Allegra gown
2. Silk tricotine Gracie gown
3. Silk tricotine Cecelia gown

Now, the wedding itself is a little more complicated.
Those of you who know me, know that I don’t do “middle ground". Ever. On anything.
So my wedding will be either really fancy or really laid back.
Which one do you like?

On other news, this little one made me smile today.

MOVING UPDATE: All my things arrived at the house two days ago, so I’ve been unpacking, organizing and decorating like crazy.
And yet…I’m nowhere near done.
I still have unopened boxes.

I have to get back to work tomorrow so I don’t know when I’ll finish unpacking but, on the bright side, I’m sure the boxes will patiently wait for me.

Magic drink at the Vietnamese restaurant down the street.
Coconut juice is glorious.
I did add some lime to it, towards the end of the meal. It made it even more magical.
