First things first… These aren’t recommended picnic fare. You see, I brought them to work on this tray and popped them in a cooler for the morning and when they got to the picnic they were a hot mess. I’m talkin’ not cute. Rumor has it someone set something on them? I would like to thank my close work friends for at least trying these jerks (and liking them even!) despite their messed up demeanor. So anyhow!…
Turns out my self-control regarding cookies is kinda non-existent these days. I think it’s because I haven’t really grocery shopped. I bought berries and then didn’t make jam. I bought milk, but no cereal. I have teeny waffles in the freezer, but no peanut butter. I’ve been eating cookies for breakfast and sometimes as a lunch appetizer, and occasionally an after-run reward. I’m pretty glad (or not so glad) that there’s only one cookie left…
I tried to do laundry on Tuesday, but I ate sliders and listened to records instead. I tried to help Elliot not hear fireworks by blaring music, but he couldn’t ignore them no matter how loudly I blared Otis Redding’s romance tunes. I tried out a new dance move in front of the mirror, but it looked way cooler in my head, and now I think I should probably keep dancing to myself, in my…
We get to have two Sundays this weekend! I think it’s great! I plan on wearing overall shorts, sitting in the sun, and drinking Moscow Mules. I might watch the Twin Peaks movie, or take a nap, or eat pizza, or go to a concert. I’m going to let the day surprise me. And I’m glad that I have some of this giant cookie left on a day like this! You see I whipped up…
Yesterday I took Elliot to get ice cream because he turned 9 this week! And I’m not the kind of lady to let a fella eat ice cream alone… even though I had a piece of this cake earlier in the day. You see, it’s someone’s birthday somewhere, so why not have cake and ice cream in one day! Even if there are a few hours in between, right? My mom visited last weekend! We…
This weekend has been magic. Not only was the weather 70 degrees (!!!) but I had musical adventures, pizza, and made cookies. I also finally nailed the hand clap in the bridge in G.U.Y. on a run. (Lady Gaga, so what) There was plenty of Stella Artois, backyard lounging, and dining room dancing. Spring has arrived, you guys. It’s here with one single daffodil in my backyard and even if it snows Tuesday, I won’t trust…
Sometimes it feels weird to listen to Tegan & Sara while your landlord fixes the thermostat. Sometimes it’s more weird for your heat to go out like 5 times though in a few months! But the truth is Elliot really loves the landlord? Almost as much as this one plumber from a long time ago. I don’t know what it was about that dude! Elliot ran laps of the apartment! Maybe he was a plumber…
Well, I made that chipotle chicken chili again. You see, I’ve been the worst lunch-bringer during the workweek. So this week I’ll have lunch for days! And I also ensured that there’s post-chili ice cream. It’s just, you’re the dinner to my dessert, the cherry on top of my Monday, and cocoa puffs in my ice cream, ya know? I added a bit of Nutella and malt powder and it accentuates the cocoa puffs. I…
You know what makes me mad? When I grab a dish towel out of the cupboard and they all fall out on my head. And when the train near my house keeps me from dinner when I’m super hungry. Or when I reach for a beer in the fridge, but all I have is some weirdo dark stout guy that’s not for a casual after-work sipping. It maybe frustrates me when I postpone slicing rice…
It’s 8:30pm and I feel like I could fall asleep right here in my living room with Beyonce playing and my pink, not-christmas, tree lit up. My apartment smells like maple syrup from some granola I made for work-time snacking. You see, I’m tired. I think it has to do a little bit with getting used to a new job, a little bit to do with the fact that I woke up early today for…
