2014 Oscars Recap - Ellen, Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Hudson, Twitter Crash, and Jared Jared Jared.

By now you have had a full day to watch the Oscars on your DVR, read all the Huffington Post and BuzzFeed articles possible, or check whatever social network you are involved in. {I checked Instagram too soon during the show and had a major spoiler alert with Lupita's win. Dangit! } 

But if for some reason you haven't watched the Oscars, maybe you have been living in a hole the last few days, then don't read this. MAJOR spoiler alerts coming up, you Mole. 

For starters the fashion:

Jennifer Lawrence in a red Gucci gown. HOT.

 A spin on her 2011 Academy award appearance when she wore this red Calvin Klein get-up that had every girl at home hating her. Then she opened her mouth and we all fell madly in love. Seriously, when does that ever happen?  I love this girl, she has fallen twice, shaken her arm fat to the paparazzi, and just doesn't give a crap. She continues to do things that really make me want to be her BFF. Keep wearing red J-law, u so fine!

Lupita's Prada blue gown has probably created the most buzz, and I for one LOVED it.

I love plunging neck lines, and i'm so glad they are back on the red carpet! That shade of blue was gorgeous on her dark skin and man her arms are RIPPED. I have to admit though, every time they said her name I kept thinking of the beloved Hippo breakfast taco in Freeport from our favorite mexican food spot, you guessed it, Lupita's!

These celebs also rocked the plunge:

Kate Hudson:

Pink:

Charlize Theron:

Karen O

Angelina Jolie can do no wrong. She is just stunning and the clip of her acceptance speech for the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award had me in tears.

I love all these gowns too, but i'm not gonna get into all that cuz, ain't nobody got time fo dat. 
Julia Roberts

Cate Blanchett

Sandra Bullock

Hands down my favorite look was Kate Hudson. 

Lawd have mercy she just glows. And when she came out to present they panned over to Goldie and Kurt and their smiles were so cute! They looked so proud, which made me like that family even more, in a completely creeper-i'm-obsessed-with-them sorta way. Look, I just know we'd be friends, that's all. 

As for Ellen, she was HILARIOUS. Just the sight of her smile makes me giggle, because you never know what she is going to say. I love her sarcasm, and quick wit, soooo needless to say, I thought she was perfection. She totally saved what is usually, let's face it, a pretty boring show.

When she said, something along the lines of, "The night has endless possibilities, Possibility 1: 12 Years A Slave wins Best Picture, or Possibility 2: you are all racists, and now our first white presenter of the evening." 

I was lol'ing. The pizza delivery was also great, though I kept watching to see if poor Kerry Washington actually got a slice. If that was me, I would have ripped that cheese pizza outta Julia Roberts hand with my exorcist voice and eyes, 'Hey America's Sweetheart, bite me, I'm pregnant!', something like that. 

But knowing Julia she'd be totally okay with it, and would probably politely ask Meryl to give up her slice to the hungry pregnant girl as well, and of course Meryl would happily oblige. They are cool like that, trust me.

Oh and Ellen as Linda the Good Witch killed me. 

Spoiler Alert: Liza Minelli's mom is Judy Garland!!!! I had NO IDEA. 

Acceptance speeches:

Holy Jared Leto started the night off with a killer tux and best supporting actor speech.

Talk about setting the bar high. It was so sweet and genuine just like I remember him. {Lol, I can't even type that last part without laughing, it's such a lie, I don't really know him.} I love you Jared and your beautiful ombre hair, and can I get some tips from your mom, because she clearly did SOMETHING right.

Lupita's best supporting actress acceptance speech was also a stand out, of course. 

Matthew McCounaghey's best actor speech was money.  As much as that 'alright, alright, alright,' tends to make me cringe, I have to admit I've been loving it in his acceptance speeches lately, especially when it follows such a great message.

The couple that won best song for Frozen were super cute too, especially the wife at the end. You can view it here.

Oh on a sad note, James Gandolfini, ugh, what a loss. Seeing his picture flash was such a sad reminder, and jeez following it up with Wind Beneath My Wings? Is the Academy trying to kill us? 

Don't worry I'm not gonna leave you with a sad note. This is a video I sent to Sarah after she sent me this lovely picture of her 'Oscar Party' with Jason.

How lovely.

We put him to bed a short time later. I'd be lying if I said this wasn't a normal noise level in my house.

And finally my favorite pic from the night, and everyone else's favorite pic since it crashed Twitter………..

So that is all I got! Until next time!

This outfit. I wish I was wearing it right now, but I can't because it's 50 degrees outside, I'm at work, and high waisted shorts don't work for pregnant chicks. Maybe next summer.

 '33 Pictures That Will Make You Proud to Be a Human Being Again'

I cried at #: 2, 5, 6, 10, 13, 14, 17, 24, 25, 28…I basically cried at the whole thing; so what I'm pregnant, I cry at commercials.

These pull on flares from Free People that will get me through this pregnancy one stretchy waist band at a time!

This cute lil Husky and his owner that clearly won't take 'no' for an answer. 

Hey Sarah!? Gimme all your jewelry!

All of this from Pinterest. 

*I want every ring from the last pic.

This little girl and her mom making paper dresses. View the article here. It's incredible! It really makes me wish for a little girl, even though I know our wild boys would ruin any dress making in our house. I just envision a nice quiet house with a little girl using scissors so responsibly. Then I envision our house: Driscoe messing up all the papers, the girl crying, and then the scissors being thrown across the room. Nonetheless, this story is so cute, and that lil girl is so talented!

Penelope Cruz. 

I'm cutting my hair Friday and I've been doing some serious hair stalking, mostly of Penelope, because look.at.her.hair.ugh.

This picture of the grandsons with their Grandpa. Does it get any better?

The Moonlight Dolls Under Fire

The only photo I could find of a Moonlight Doll under fire was Kitty Kitty Bang Bang. And she makes it look really easy. 

Of course. 

I. CANNOT. WAIT. UNTIL. WE. ARE. OPEN.

I know that when things start to get tough, God has something SUPER special in store. We are holding on and plugging away each day for what HAS to be-what MUST be-a spectacular reward!!

To all of you out there struggling with something, just hang in there and don't kill anyone. Do right and be happy even when you want to throw a tantrum. Force yourself to stay calm and stay on track. Good things will surely come to you when you show God that you believe in Him and the journey he has set you on. Just try not to lose your mind in the meantime. If you feel crazy, then you're doing it right.

The Eagles, My Dad, Winslow Arizona and The Dude.

I'm going to the Eagles concert tonight.  I'm sitting front row.  I get to meet the band before the show.  And I'm kinda FREAAAAAAKING out!!!  It's one of those "holy shit" experiences I haven't given a lot of thought to because it's like Christmas morning, the more you wait for it, the longer it takes to get here.  My parents always jammed the Eagles and we grew up loving them, they are in every single one of my playlists. It's nostalgia, its chill, its perfect background music, driving music, sunny day, rainy day, you name it, there's an Eagles song that can evoke a good "take it easy" kinda feel.  

My Dad is the best guitar player and singer in the history of the world, tell me he's not and I'll tell you to get some hearing aids.  Growing up I thought that he wrote all of the songs he played.  The majority of those songs were The Eagles, Jimmy Buffet, David Allen Coe, Neil Young, Creedence - you get the drift.  My brother, sisters and I could sing every word and we still can.  Even better now because we sing them after a few beers and are certain we are the best singers in the history of the world.  My poor Dad.  But the highlight of my love for the Eagles happened at my sister Julie's wedding.  She got married in Costa Rica to Daron, who had been my best buddy for years.  It truly was and still is one of the best weeks of my life, all of our family and friends together in paradise.  At the reception my Dad surprised them with a rendition of Peaceful Easy Feeling.  He mixed up the words to include Los Suenos, the place we were staying, and there was not a dry eye in the room.  We were in a foreign country, my sister was getting married - the first of any of us, but it felt like we were back at home singing with my Dad.  So there ya go, that's my favorite Eagles memory.  And I have a lot, we LITERALLY left my cousin Megan in Winslow Arizona on a family road trip to Utah.  5 mins down the road we realized we were short one kid.  Turned around and she was standing on a corner.  I am not joking.  

I still cannot believe I get to meet the band, I thought about singing them my Dad's rendition but Jason has kindly asked me to refrain. It's going to be a blast, yet no way will it be able to top Peaceful Easy Feeling at my sister's wedding, no way jose.  

                                                                    "Peaceful Easy Feeling"

I like the way your sparkling earrings lay,
Against your skin, it's so brown.
And I wanna sleep with you in the Los Suenos tonight
With a billion stars all around.

'Cause I got a peaceful easy feeling,
And I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing on the ground.

And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul.
Oh, but she can't take you anyway,
You don't already know how to go.

And I got a peaceful easy feeling,
And I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing on the ground.

I get this feeling I may know you as a lover and a friend.
But this voice keeps whispering in my other ear,
Tells me I may never see you again.

'cause I get a peaceful easy feeling
And I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing...
I'm already standing...
Yes, I'm already standing on the ground

Another Eagles favorite >------>

                               

Thanks for letting me ramble & reminisce on this beautiful Friday,

Checkin' in with the bohoBabies…...

Camilla: The world has become her pacifier, she sings throughout her day, and she will give you the stink-eye if you eat in front of her. 

Driscoe: This tatt'd up tot has been building train tracks, hitting 'lasers' off his baseball tee, and getting in trouble with his cousin Dax.

 Gjelina: Started school, and as you can see, LOVES to snack!

Caymus: This little Renegade just started Little League!  His demeanor is as sweet as that smile.

bohoBaby #6: He or She is snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug in mommy's tummy.

Watermelon and shorts in February!  Winning! 

Dax: He's been singing Happy Birthday and ABC's non stop.  He tells anyone who will listen "i throw bullets" about his strong left arm, keeps a close eye on his little brother and wakes me up every morning by coming in my room saying "hi mommy, i love you mommy".  

Morris:  This little angel is always happy and always hungry, he's getting much more open to the idea of walking, but still crawls everywhere (unless he can push a truck).

~counting our blessings and thanking our lucky stars for these happy & healthy bohoBabies~

bohoBoogie Nights

I was looking for a way to get down this morning when I got a lil' help from my Facebook friends (Post by Grace Salinas). 

I started to feel...

At first I was afraid, I was petrified. Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side... But now, 'fellas I'm ready to get up and do my thang. I wanna get into it man, you know. Do you remember the 21st night of September? Love was changing the minds of pretenders while chasing the clouds away. All the bad girls, talkin' bout the sad girls. Sad girls. Yeah talkin' about the bad girls. Tuesday night and the studio is hot. Sun's gone down, we're comin' out to trot. Spirits high, legs look hot. Do you wanna get down?

bohoBodies is taking it back to the 1970's. They had The Loft, I got the keys to the studio. Theirs was members-only, I don't discriminate. But we got one thing in common, a funky bass line. Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen, tonight we'll put all other things aside. We shouldn't even think about tomorrow, these memories will last a long long time.

Bring it down to funky town and let's get down like James Brown. God bless Mother Nature! She's a single woman too!
