MOVING
for the next two days. limited blogging until thursday. adios!
Things I’m going to treat myself with after I’m DONE moving:
- Mani/pedi
- Nice new sheets
- Dinner somewhere nice for Chris for helping me move & paint (for the 5th time since we’ve been together)
- Dentist because I think I have my 1st cavity but I’ve been to busy/too poor to deal with it (I’m considering marrying my roommate Jess so I can bum off her dental...
I’m heading to work for my friend’s sister, who is an insanely awesome florist. Once in awhile, when they have huge events or multiple events in a weekend, they’ll call me in to help. It’s a nice treat.
Her work is incredible, and today happens to be very well-coiffed wedding. I’m bringing my camera so I can steal a few photos to share.

related to the robin givhan quote i just posted.
wendy brandes’ blog is a must-follow. she is snarky, well spoken, and always makes me think.
Added to my blogroll. I’m in love - our sarcasm blends so nicely.
Heading to Elements Bistro for happy hour again. What?! You go with what works, right?!
Hair Appointment
I have a hair appointment today with the fabulous Yamil at Oggi Avon. I need a trim since I currently look like a middle-aged kindergarten teacher with this awkward mid-length page boy I’ve got goin’ on.
I’m growing out my precious bob, since I’ve been using the I-can’t-put-my-hair-up excuse to avoid the gym for awhile now. It’s true though, right? How annoying...
So [redacted], a celebrity we had approached to do an event with us just told us he/she cannot participate because he/she will be away partcipating in the Olympics. Oh.
No big deal.
Craigslist
So, I’ve had this table up for sale on Craigslist. I had a couple of shorties show some interest but it wasn’t moving quick enough for me so I dropped the price to $20. For a whole dining set! Really, I’m just too lazy to move it to my new place just to sell it there anyways, so I just want to get rid of it. AKA this is a NINJA DEAL.
Of course my little price adjustment blew up...
Facebook Photo Albums
I really hate people’s Facebook photo album titles. That stupid quote or raunchy joke isn’t funny, it’s mad annoying.
They are always something like “Boys, calzones, and Franz ruin LIIIIIVES!” Seriously? Then I’m stuck being like MAN what the hell are these pictures from, and why are they clogging my mini feed? I suppose I could unfriend ya’ll but...
Watch“Beautiful homes for under $20K”
Currently, you can purchase a house in Detroit, Michigan, for under $20,000. As in, you can buy a home in Detroit for less then the price of a used Honda Civic. Right when I think things are turning around, I am abrubtly reminded that we have a long way to go.
Orange Shorts Fail
Mariel shared this link with me regarding the aforementioned orange shorts. Apparently I’m not the only one madly confused by “Jenna’s (traditional) pick.” Click thru and read the last paragraph.
HA!
Gmail Genius
I just received an email that made my smile. I looked frantically on my email tool bar for the “like” feature for a solid 20 seconds. Then I remembered that the universe hasn’t been tumblrized. Yet.
I think my “blondness” may be on to something. How great would that be! All the people on the email would see you liked it, but you wouldn’t have to write back and...
UConn Football Player Fatally Stabbed - University... →
I attended the UConn homecoming football game vs Louisville on Saturday. It was a blast, and they won.
Sunday, we got the news that Jasper Howard, #6, UConn’s starting cornerback, had been stabbed to death on campus. In front of the student union. After a fire alarm was pulled, forcing over 300 students outside. I’m shocked. How someone could be murdered on campus (at UConn! my...
Most days I don’t mind having a second job. But tonight, the thought of serving pitchers of sangria and gyros with tatziki to gobs of rude and annoying individuals is giving me hives.
Ugh.
Doctor says near-death experiences are in the mind →
My grandmother had a near-death experience during childbirth. She doesn’t tell the story often, but when she does it fascinates me.
Chris: People gotta stop with the "wah it's snowing" status updates on Facebook
Chris: "It's snowing, FML!"
Chris: "I'm SO over New England!"
Chris: "Um. So we don't have a summer OR a fall. R u serious"
Me: HHAHAHAAHA
Chris: "Dear snow, could you come back in like 2 months, thanks"
Chris: Ugh I wanna punch through the screen and flick these people away
Chris: "Dear snow, it's me, fall. Do you think you could chill out (not literally) until Christmas? thanks."
Me: **sigh**
Chris: Did you hear about the balloon?
Me: Yeah it's empty :(
Me: His name is Falcon and they were just on Wife Swap!
Chris: If he lives he's gonna be the coolest kid
