Dear Claritin,
I popped one of you on Saturday after a stroll through Hollywood Forever Cemetery left me with the sniffles and itchy eyes. I knew you would dry out my sinuses and eyes, so I removed my contacts, lest they stick to my eyeballs and I have to peel them off at the end of the day. I had foreseen the dry eye situation correctly, but alas, I still had the sniffles.
On Sunday, the sniffles became the...

Remember piggy back rides? I loved piggy back rides. I speak of them in the past tense now because, unfortunately, the height of Heidi Garvin in relation to the average height of men in America is not a ratio conducive to piggy back riding.
I Don't Even Have A Boyfriend!
The only stamps the post office had yesterday were ones that featured wedding rings. So now all my mail looks like it has the leftover stamps from wedding invitations on it. I had to explain in a card I sent to a friend that I, in fact, was NOT getting married and not to worry, that I didn’t even have a boyfriend. In the card to my mother, however, I had to write CALM DOWN. I don’t...

This is SORT OF the recipe I used for my cinnamon rolls. It was more a jumping off point.
I didn’t have enough whole milk, so I used a little skim milk, too.
I let my dough rise longer than the recipe called for. Mostly because IT WAS RISING VERY SLOWLY. Which may or may not be due to the fact that I have no patience and lifted the dish towel I had covering it to check it every five...

A Discrepancy
My mother said she wanted to eventually put a queen bed in my old bedroom. I said, “Oh yeah? Turn it into a guest room? That’d be nice.”
Mom: “Well sort of. I figure you’ll live out of town and you and your husband will need a place to stay when you visit.”
Me: “Wow. You have me living out of town AND being married? My life plans don’t really go...

Does anyone remember the semester I spent studying/google image searching/pretending to be an owl? Oh yeah. And in case you were wondering, I totally got an A in that play that counted as a class.
Theatre is a weird major.
4th Grade Wisdom
Today, the little girl who lives across the street from my parents told me some really important things. We met on the driveway in front of my house. I was helping my mom carry in things from the car and she was taking refuge in the shade of our drive, eating some ice cream. She said that she watched a movie in school today about what happens to girls bodies when they get older. It was, and I...

Truth:
If I’ve ever been to a party at your place, I’ve probably hid in your bathroom at some point and wondered how on earth I was going to make it through the rest of that night with any amount of grace. And then proceeded to make it through the rest of that night with no grace whatsoever.
I’ve also probably scared some of your guests with my stories that don’t know appropriate...

Things I Said Last Night
I love Arby’s! It’s my favorite. Seriously. I eat it at least three times a week. I want to move into the apartments behind the Arby’s so I can walk there everyday and so that my home will ALWAYS smell like ARBY’S. I can’t even tell you how much I love Arby’s. That place is AWESOME!
Confession
Sometimes I just want to yell out BANANA HAMMOCKS! as an expletive.
I don’t know why. I just do.

I’ve thought about doing audio posts of my sweet lilting voice speaking my amazing insights here on tumblr, but since I can hardly leave a cohesive voicemail, I figure that would probably be a train wreck.
