Unpopular opinion:
Coating strawberries in chocolate is like ripping and shredding a perfectly good pair of jeans for profit. That’s right, fiends! I like my jeans intact and my strawberries nekkid.

I need therapy for real.
Sister Sister
Today is girls day—just me and my little sister. We were running behind so I told her to run and start my car, which is parked in a garage around the corner, while I got dressed. When she came back, she was normal for about 22 seconds until her eyes popped out of her head and her voice got shrill. “Oh my god! After I started your car I forgot to shut the garage door!!” After a...
I used a phone book today.
Weird.
Hey, Too Tall! (.com): Fountain of Shame →
heytootall:
There’s a chick in Pennsylvania who’s suing a mall because she fell into the atrium fountain while she was texting. REALLY!? You want someone to pay you money because you didn’t pay attention? Sorry honey, it doesn’t work like that. Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance puts you at the bottom of a…

Pizza Meatloaf
It’s often been said (by me, and under Cory’s breath) that at times I make for a scary domestic partner. I can’t sew. I can’t cook without obsessive ingredient-measuring and even then, I somehow always overlook key ingredients (ever had a hamburger without seasoning salt? Please don’t, ever.). I keep a tidy place—I often berate Cory for leaving the shower...
10 Great Things
Static Guard. No offense, severe and daily electrical shocks. Funfetti birthday cake for Tommy’s 24th. Tree Hut’s Shea Sugar Body Scrub, in Brazillian Nut and Coconut Lime. Oh em gee. All that is January 2011, according to Cory. A red tea kettle, per my Secret Santa at work. Tropical Rooibos tea in a tiny blue mug (per my Tumblr Buddy x 2!). Memories...
One of THOSE days
Today I did great things. I…
Framed 3 of the greatest notes I’ve ever been given, and put them on my desk to keep me in line.
Curled my hair for the first time ever, with success. This is big, people!
Candlelit yoga. Why? Because I can, mmkay!
Ate old fashioned oatmeal with brown sugar and a nanner.
Finally scaled Mount Laundry. Whew.
Used my brand new tea kettle to make Tropical...
Mouthwash Malarky
I was giddy with excitement the other night when, after brushing our teeth, Cory said to me, “Hey, you want to do something really cool with me?” We had just spent 11 days out west together, playing in frigid ocean waters, pointing and oooh-ing at jungle cats in captivity, and loitering throughout Las Vegas overnight, two vagabonds without a cause (read: two kids with insufficient...

One reason to be happy amid boot-thieving...
Finding a friend in an anonymous person living halfway across the country who somehow gets me freakishly well. Thank you for the Christmas gift!!!, which I opened madly with abandon the second Cory brought it through the front door, and for everything you did for us while we were in California! I seriously hope your tb is as good to you as you are to me. :) BONUS: the coffee cups and tiny mixing...
Not to sound redundant, but I *hate* living here.
The boots:
The delivery confirmation: My front door on 1/7, when I returned home from vacation: Thanks again, neighbors. Heads up though: we’re moving out of here in 49 days! Get your pillaging taken care of by then. Then, it’s time to rummage through some other nice peoples’ vehicles and doorsteps. Fair warning.
