Weekend Review

It's time for a weekend review on a Tuesday!

Friday night Julia and I went to see Lorde at the BMO Harris Pavilion on Summerfest grounds.

She was definitely entertaining! I've never seen so much hair flying around before.

 Excited faces before the show ^^

Excellent quality pictures, right?!

 We sent her this selfie after the show so she would come meet us.

Didn't work.

BUT

Julia did freak out some kids when she appeared from the bushes on her quest to find Lorde.

Saturday we all got our nails done for Disney!!

Here is my perfect shellac mani.

Now here is the tragic story of how I ruined my perfect mani same day.

My adorable nephew Benton wanted his apple peeled. So I took it to the sink and started peeling away until I dropped the peeler and sliced my middle finger nail completely in half. It hurt so bad but I was more mad at the fact I ruined a new manicure.

Sigh.

Sunday I bought the most comfortable outfit of my life.

I never want to take it off.

In fact I was going to wear it to Noodles with my parents but Justin FORCED me to change.

Meanie.

Maybe here is why.

Will I regret putting these on the internet? Probably one day.

I then went to a Once Upon a Time party at my parents!

Packer parties are lame. SPORTS. 

Happy Tuesday Friends!

SHOUT OUT TO BELLA ON HER FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!

XO

We are just a tad excited....

...about our upcoming Disney Vacation.

I love that he goes along with all the stupid stuff I do.

liking her photo doesn't take away likes from yours

Hello and welcome to Stacey's Random Rant on a Friday.
***Warning don't take this post too seriously.

This first picture has nothing to do with today's post. I accidentally took it at some point and don't know when. I thought it was funny.

Moving on. 

The title to today's post sounds ridiculous and it is. I am playing off the whole "Her success is not Your failure." thing which has been circling the internet in various forms and fonts. I 100% believe in that and I am totally for the movement of women finally getting along and getting over themselves.

Which brings me to today's topic.

Instagram.

Below is a screenshot of my Instagram account.

As you can see by my 1,355 pictures I am mildly obsessed with it. I spend a lot of time on it.

My rule for Instagram is:

If I am choosing to follow you I must 

- Find you interesting/Inspiring

- You are my friend

- You are my family

Every person I follow, I follow for a reason. I never feel obligated to follow someone back if they follow me. That's stupid. Now, getting to my point. 

I like everyone's photos unless:

- They are about something I don't agree with

- Involve drugs, alcohol, swearing

- If my niece saw I liked this photo I wouldn't want her to click on it

Those are my rules. Otherwise, I do my best to like every single picture. Why? I will tell you why. If you have taken the time to take a picture, edit it, slap a filter on it, and share it with the internet then why wouldn't I like it? I like you so I like what you share (unless it contains the above stated) The reason I bring up this topic is because I have friends who have over 100 followers yet their pictures only get a few likes. "Liking" a picture takes less than a second. In fact it's done on accident all the time IT'S THAT EASY. So what is the issue? Why do people refuse to acknowledge and like their friends photos? Are you jealous because that person gets more likes than you so you feel the need to take away your like to prove a point? (THINK ABOUT HOW RIDICULOUS THAT SENTENCE IS) Do you feel superior to them and lowering yourself to actually acknowledging their photo is just too much for you? Or do you simply not like them as a person? If you don't like them, then I suggest you unfollow them. What is the point? 

There is a girl who is friend's with my sister Christie and I think she's the coolest. She's one of those people that makes you want to be better. I follow her, she follows me. She likes every one of my photos. I know it's not because she actually enjoys them. She doesn't know half the people I take pictures of but by her liking it I know she likes me. It makes me feel good that someone who I find so fascinating is actually acknowledging my pictures! What if you are that to someone in your life? What if they think you are the coolest and just by liking their picture you make their day?

To wrap up this ridiculous unimportant rant not liking your friends photos is sending a message that you do not like your friend. Be happy for your friends who have something you don't. Compliment their talents and abilities. Be inspired to find out what you are good at and then share that in return. Let's all try to be better humans and encourage each other.

The end.  

Disclaimer: I am not writing this so I get more attention on instagram. I am not that pathetic.I am trying to encourage (anyone who even reads this) to be nicer to people even on the internet. 

Walt Disney World

One week from today I will be in Walt Disney World with my entire family.

I

am

pumped.

Since I never shared my honeymoon pictures I thought today was as good as any to share them with you all.

In case you missed it, we went to Disney World for our honeymoon two years ago.

Please enjoy approximately 1,000 blurry cellphone pictures.

Most of them are selfies.

oops.

I was pretty close to winning....

 Meet the duckster.

 The answer you're looking for is no. It will never stop haunting you.

 Just catching some z's on the bus. nbd.

 He had to go real bad....

 the old man photobombing this picture was the coolest person i've ever met.

LOVED HIM.

on a more depressing note:
I threw my back out last night.
I am in SO MUCH PAIN today.
Pray Fo Me.
