Pistachios
Bought a bag recently. Forgot how much I love them. Bag is now empty.
(I ate them.)
The End.
This is Why We're Friends
Me: sang a song to myself about what it would be like to be a bunny rabbit. feeling better
Her: I can totally see how that would make you feel better
Me: but now I wish I was a bunny. I'm all scrunched over my keyboard like a bunny
Her: but don't you always kind of wish you were a bunny?
Me: yes. or a pony.
Her: you are so a small horse.

In A Doctor's Office Waiting Room
The people next to me are having a very intense conversation about whether a webinar is something you go to in person or if it’s online.
Earlier one of them said, and I quote, “his problem is that he doesn’t use soap.”
Is this real?

All the Tulle and Lace
I tried on a total fifteen different wedding dresses yesterday at two different locations in a timespan of three and a half hours.
I happen to think shopping for clothes is a horrible experience in general so I have no clue why I subjected myself to such overwhelming amounts of tulle and lace yesterday, but I found a dress and didn’t cry once, so it was a success. I’m on the train...

The Holy Grail
My dad sent me photos of my beloved nephew with his best friend for a day: A MINIATURE HORSE.
If you know me, you know this is my holy grail of adorable photos. It doesn’t get better. I have seen the light and I have basked in its glow.
Today is a good day.
Get Happy
There are too many people I know who are unhappy.
And it seems to me they do an awful lot of blaming others for their unhappiness. Which makes me wish there was a polite way to say: you need to set some boundaries, communicate your expectations to others, and grow a pair. Or see a therapist, whichever you prefer. I get exhausted just listening to their complaints about LIFE and witnessing their...

This is a really great post from Lifehacker. I’ll just excerpt one to get you started:
Impressing
No one likes you for your clothes, your car, your possessions, your title, or your accomplishments. Those are all “things.” People may like your things—but that doesn’t mean they like you. Sure, superficially they might seem to, but superficial is also insubstantial, and a relationship...

The Life I Live
I’m so glad I live the kind of life where Amazon sends me emails about deals on Laura Mercier products and reciprocating saws. Doin’ it right over here, folks.

Tell it, Alex Fernie. Read it, rest of y’all.
PS: if these guys had stolen a drunk girl’s wallet, spent all her money, and then bragged about it on camera and in text messages, I’m pretty sure they’d be charged with theft. I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t be arguing about the definition of theft, or whether the penalty for theft is an appropriate thing to deal out. We know we’re not...
When I was little, my mother had a cassette tape of the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack she would play in the car. I loved it. LOVED IT. But I think it made me a little weird. What other 2nd graders out there were having very stately tea parties, adorned in their finest dress up clothes, morosely serenading their baby dolls and stuffed animals with Andrew Lloyd Weber’s “Music of the...

I Didn't Know
I didn’t know until this moment that the movie “The Shining” is something I find so wonderful and terrifying that I can’t bring myself to look away. For some weeeeird reason it’s on BBC America right now. I am clutching the remote anxiously, but I can’t bring myself to change the channel. Is it because the Overlook hotel is modeled after a hotel I know in real...
