Summertime Crushes

It is 20 minutes to midnight, and I am waiting for my comforter to finish drying so I can go to bed. In the meantime, I have to share a couple of crushes that developed over the past few weeks. Keep in mind that I know almost nothing (really) about either person. The reasons for the crushes are also absolutely silly. However, everyone is entitled to absolutely silly stuff in her life especially if she has been staying home the past few weeks with her little boys who insist on discussing farts and think it is hilarious to run around the house naked before bath time.

My first crush is Wilmer Valderrama. Most people know him as Fez from That 70s Show, but I never watched that. No, Valderrama has a different look around this house:

See, he lends his voice talents to this character. The show is cute and one I don't mind watching. It is a better and more enjoyable option for teaching kids Spanish than Dora or Diego. But please don't misunderstand and think my crush is on a cutsie cartoon. Honestly, ole Manny didn't really register on my radar until I saw this:

At that moment two things happened-I learned that the same guy who played Fez voiced Handy Manny and is actually Hispanic, and the fact he took so much pride in a character that kids love completely melted my heart. Since this discovery I found out here and there that he has two other shows (maybe more), and he is dating Demi Levato.

Of course I am not too concerned about the details of his life. My crush starts and stops with his role as Manny. It is crazy, but since my television watching centers around channels with the word "Jr." attached to them, I guess that is just how it will be.

Crush #2 actually opens up a whole other can of worms regarding Game of Thrones. For now, I will just admit that I am simply in love with Emilia Clarke! Yes, Khaleesi is one of the most kick ass characters on the show, and that was a large part of this crush. Yet, what I really fell for was her social media presence. Her Instagram always makes me smile. She is just too darn adorable! I want to hang out with her! It is like being near her will increase my own awesomeness.


Thank you Handy Manny and Khaleesi for make summer infinitely better! For now, I must check the comforter and go to sleep.
