i am going to minus the bear tonight! weeeeeeeeeeeee! favorite band. marshall & i had our first kiss after a minus the bear show in 2007…
(may 25, 2007…who knew he’d end up being my husband?)
…and have gone to see them live several times since then.
most recently was two days before our wedding last year (why do i have no photos of that night?!) and another time was in november 2009 (oh good, found photos of that night.)
we also took a road trip four years back to see them play in LA—the one and only time i’ve been to LA and it was ONLY for the show.
young love :)
anyway, the point of all this rambling is to tell you that between my job, the gym, dinner and then the concert… i don’t have time post any meals & moves tonight. what i AM doing is posting a whole bunch of words—some wise, some weird, and some just funny–that i have pinned lately. they’re too good not to share. enjoy!
that last one is my favorite. and the story of my life.
check ya later alligators!

I can totally relate to pretty much all of these! Love ‘em. The voicemail one is definitely me…I hate checking my voicemail.
Kid you not, my husband and I had our first kiss on May 25, 2007… that was our official ‘anniversary’ until we got married! Ours was after a romantic Italian dinner sneaking onto the private dock of a row of houseboats on Lake Union (ala Sleepless in Seattle). *sigh*
Anyway, I instantly got the ‘aww too cute’ feeling looking at your picture and had to share!
I LOVE THIS! That’s really awesome. Glad you shared!
Haha these made my day. I specifically remember a photo of you guys all sitting on the grass at the MTB concert before your wedding… You had drinks in hand. I know one exists. Miss you. I love your words.
I mean…. It was at bricks. With no grass… And inside. But that’s ok. Haha.
I love these. I saw the last one on someone else’s blog yesterday. I laughed then and now. ha!
The first two I think are written with me in mind :)
hahhaha- I can’t go to bed- shit is happening on the internet. Love it. Have SO much fun! Sounds like its a special and meaningful show!
Enjoy Minus the Bear! I hope they play my favorite, “Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse” So good.
Have lots of fun!
You would have loved it–it was their 10 year reunion and they played Highly Refined Pirates in its entirety! Plus a few extras at the end. They are in LA November 1!
My husband and I met right around that same time! Though not at minus the bear… never heard of it but I like your taste so I’ll be checking it out.
I like “the best way to get even is to forget”. Such words of wisdom for someone like me who may or may not hold a grudge.. ;)
These are awesome! I sometimes get so demotivated to clean my house, it lasts for such a short time!
Aww, that’s so cool that you and Marshall had your first kiss at a MTB show! My fiancé’s a fan of them as well- he got me into them after we first started dating and we saw them live a few years ago. Have fun!
I love these! My favorite is “I may not be perfect but parts of me are pretty awesome.” This is so FaceBook status worthy. ;)
Love MTB! I’ve seen them a bunch!. The Velvet Teen, who is playing with them, are equally awesome guys. They’re friends of mine!
That voicemail one is my favorite cause it’s SO true.
Aww that is adorable! Have so much fun at the concert :)
I lovelovelove those quotes. They are all so true!
good times! enjoy that tonight and thanks for the words, I needed to hear that internet one today!
thanks for this…my bestie in houston needed one of these — it really motivated her to get to the gym…thanks girl!
xoxo from Trinidad
Having read from start to beginning within a 2-3 month period of time (your whole blog from start to finish), I KNEW he was the one! You were enamored! Still are!
Have fun! I love how much history you and Marshall and the band have.
Hilarious and most of them are the story of my life. Have a great night lady!
Aww, Janetha – you and Marshall are SO CUTE together:) Hope you have fun at the concert!
Love those signs! Before I read this, I checked the time and thought “man, I gotta get ready for bed…but after reading Janetha’s post!!” LOL
Humm… I read “miss the beer”… Love the sayings, all so right.
Just perfect! There’s a few I ought to print and hang up.
Have a terrific time tonight!
Love you both xo!
oh I love those and posted some of them! I love the one ‘I may not be perfect but parts are me are pretty awesome” so stealing that, thank you!!!
xo
I’m so behind the timed- I’m not even a “pinner” oh well. That first shot of you and Marshall shows the love in your eyes and perhaps a buzz :-P haha.
Those signs are great- the one about getting stuff done at the last minute is so true. Once I had to pack within minutes to get to my sick Dad in Florida on the very next plane and I literally had about 7 minutes to pack. BEST packing job I ever did to this day.
Can’t wait til tomorrow gahhhhhhh
times (no excuse, I’m not even on my damn iphone)
have fun at the concert!!! and thanks for the words…there’s a bunch in there that inspire and uplift :)
i love those quotes!! have fun at the show!! :) ps: the sounds in less than 2 weeks!! weeee!!!!!!
I love Minus The Bear!! Hope it was a blast!
hope you had fun!! i love that photo of you and marshall under which you wrote “young love” – you’re both so joyous in expression.
thanks for the collection of sayings – these are all great. “the best way to get even is to forget” – awesome.
Hope you lovebirds had fun at the concert and had a steamy kiss after to relive the first one! Ha!
Love you!
Um, the words you pinned about only checking voicemail so the icon goes away? That’s SO ME. I can’t handle it. I know. I’m weird. :)
Hope you had a blast at the concert!
Love those quotes!! and what a great memory from the concert :) hope it was a blast!
I love all those words!
LOVE that one about “I don’t stop when I’m tired”. I think I will start repeating that during tough workouts. Hope you had a great time last night! Love you!
Aw, this was so cute!! I love the story about the band and you and Marshall! Greg and I have a special band that means a lot to us too, and we see them (or him- a solo act) every year. It might sound weird, but it’s Colin Hay, the singer from the 80s band Men at Work. Right after we started dating, we discovered that we both loved his music! We even danced to one of his songs as the first dance at our wedding. :)
LOVE minus the bear. have a great time <3
it's been so long since I have been to a show. ahh i miss it so much. Phoenix just really does not have a good music scene.
Love these words! I think I should totally have that Julia Child thing printed on canvas and hung in my house. Greatness. And that best friends thought? Awesome. :) And totally true.
Hey look, Marshall has nice teeth! haha. My fiance refuses to show his teeth when he smiles too….
i <3 MTB. and i can totally relate to the 'can't go to bed shit is happening on the internet' pic. um…it happens more often that i care to admit lol. also…about the cleaning. usually i'm a neat freak but don't even ask me how long it's been since i cleaned the bathroom. whoops! i blame new job and loving life. nate & i started dating in 06 and got engaged in 07. i can't believe it's been that long as i'm sure you are surprised at how time flies with marshall! crazy no?
Hope you had fun last night (I’m sure you did) and love the “pins”! I am totally anal about cleaning my house – but I think it only stays clean because I’m never there!
these are all so awesome – I especially love the best friends one and the missing someone!
aw! love that you remember the date of your first kiss. so do Jason and I – it’s one of our monthly “anniversaries” :D cheesy? yep. do I love it? YEP.
have a great time tonight!!
You and your Hubby are so cute together!!
Those are great quotes…I like the one about missing someone…awesome!
Have a fabulous weekend!!
Haha I love those, especially the last… I need to show the husband. Hope you have a great time. Sounds like a special band for you guys. You two are just top cute.
thanks girl for posting these quotes tonight, they are exactly what I needed to hear tonight! it has been some very long days here and I just needed to laugh and get my mind off things!!!! thank you thank you ;) HUGS
Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse was on the very first CD my Husband made for me when we were dating. We played it at our wedding. Hope you enjoyed the concert. Awesome band!
ahah! I love the quotes! :)
I love all of these! My favorite might be the “clean house is a sign of a wasted life” – I might have to get that framed, or at the very least put it on my fridge :)
You are darling ALL through the years! Oh, and I am obsessed with pinterest! :) xoxoxo
My fav is “I don’t stop when I’m tired, I stop when I’m done.” LOVE it.
Hope ya had fun at the concert!!
