Fruit on the bottom < No fruit on the bottom
My take on yogurt.
I think I might be in the minority here…
self torture.
Why do I like to see just how many hours I can refrain from getting up to use the bathroom? I’ve drank a cup of tea, a cup of water, and had milk with my cereal this morning. I have yet to make it to the bathroom because its a solid 30 second walk. That sounds measly, but when you think about it - its a small journey. That’s quite a trip from my area, and frankly I don’t...
a serious email.
We’re having a NYE party tomorrow night at our place. Good friends and good people, with a shit ton of alcohol, food and other festivities. A classy turns trashy party, if you will. This is a serious email I just received from Kelly about some game ideas for the evening. I see both taking a potential turn where injuries and/or choking may occur:

The videos coming my way today from a very special source are all types of hilarious.
i didn't really think this week would include any...
WTF? Real work to be done? DUE MONDAY MORNING? MORE THAN ONE PROJECT?!?! What a sick joke. Unbeliev.
please watch this. →
Obscene snow sculptures of male genitalia. A legitimate news story.
if you would be so kind
Manners are very underrated. I’m realizing more and more how much it was instilled in me as a child by my mother to be polite. “Make sure to say thank you when her mom drops you off!” Listen, by no means am I perfect. I am aware of my flaws as they have been called out by the people closest to me in my life. I’ll own it! But one thing I can say, is that I am polite. I say...
losing a follower sucks.
This week I’ve lost one. Then gained one. Then lost one.
Why?
What did I say!?!
I suppose I can’t be too sensitive about this sort of stuff.
But still!
Happy Hump Day. I’m in the office today. And I’m quite happy to be here.

Not that Natalie Portman needs more publicity, but her newest movie The Other Woman looks pretty awesome.
I was recently informed that Natalie Portman grew up on Syosset, Long Island and was known to be a huge bitch. This is a hard pill for me to swallow.
working from home...
Isn’t fun when you’re actually working from home. I have work. And a decent amount of it. This is no longer an enjoyable way to spend the day. Is this stuff really pressing? On December 28, 2010? When I have heard how dead all the offices are? I find the importance of this all to be quite low. Quite.
candle lit showers.
Ok, I know this sounds a little too romantic to do by yourself, but trust me…it’s NOT. Talk about a relaxing way to start your morning. So peaceful and calming. On that note, I’ll be back.
spicy peach salsa
Who ever thought it was a good idea to put peaches in salsa? I don’t know who that person was…but they were a genius. Ate some Trader Joe’s brand last night at my friends’ house, and it’s all I can think about ever since. Need. More. Now.
Yes it’s 10 o’clock in the morning.
2011: Year of the Philly Tumblr Meet Up
Let’s discuss people, let’s discuss!!!!
in which i get philosophical
I think most people get a little sentimental as the final days of the year approach. Days, dates, months, the changing of the year…it’s all just technicalities really. January 1, 2011 is simply just the day that comes after December 31, 2010. But we view it as so much more. A new beginning, a fresh start, the first day of the next year of our lives. Some people are sad to say goodbye...
Natalie Portman is engaged and pregnant →
Big news people! I wish I could have such high hopes for new celebrity engagements, but how can I after this volatile year of divorce? I really, really hope this one lasts forever. Because I really, really like Natalie Portman.
MAJOR. NEWS.
I was just informed that the recently built Qdoba that is less than a 5 minute walk from my house is opening TODAY. This is officially the best/worst thing to happen to my life. Fasting all day in preparation for tonight’s dinner. I’m getting the works. Doing it big. Sour cream AND guac…it’s a celebration.
I really wish I didn’t just eat a bowl of Reeses Puffs for...
working from home today...and possibly all week.
Hope everyone had a lovely lovely Christmas! Even though I’m Jewish, I have a total appreciation for this time of year. Of course I watched A Christmas Story on repeat on Saturday. I really need to know once and for all how they made Flick’s tongue stick to the pole. Because it really was stuck.
Since this is the final week of the year, it is uber slow in my office. I feel like the...
Dream of happiness. Have the courage to take...
I am totally loving this iPad.
Wish I had more to share. Happy happy holidays everybody!!! Merry Christmas!
the biggest snack tease in the world
String cheese. It goes so fast. I have to pull the thinnest of thin strings of cheese off to make it last. And then they are so thin, they aren’t even enjoyable. If I take decently sized strings of cheese off at a time, it will be done in a minute flat. A snack needs to be longer than a minute to be fulfilling. And if I bite it? Besides the fact that I just feel wrong biting a string cheese,...

remember when bumper stickers on facebook were all...
I miss them. If they were still all the rage, I would definitely be sacrificing some of my tumblr (and oh, work) time to be sending the perfect bumper stickers to people. Especially Heather. We still laugh about the time I accidentally sent one to this guy I barely knew(when meaning to send to her) that said “Two Peas in a Pod!” with a picture of two peas snuggled up in a…pea...
brrrr. its cold out here.
I figured someone in the world of tumblr could possibly steer me in some direction here. I have been searching the past few days for a warm, down, puffer jacket to keep my shivering body running with warm blood this winter. Alas, I have realized my peacoats aren’t going to cut it. They’re cute and all, but on a bitter cold and windy walk to my car at night, I’m miserable! This...

a serious email from staceface...
Happy Half birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not believe a half a year has passed since your b-day…what did we do again for it? I know i was actually there this time! right?
…She even acknowledges it as significant. Last year she got me a card. She pretends with me, that this day means something. What a best friend!<3
ocular migraines, my demise.

lovespugs replied to your post: Ever had an occular migraine? Feels like this:
I’ve been getting these for 5 years! Any time I learn about anyone else that gets them I get excited. Because they are so hard to explain to anyone who doesn’t experience them, and so awful to have to wait out, especially when at work!
