time. stands. still.
When I’m so busy at work, all I want is free time. When I have too much free time, all I want is to blow this popsicle stand.
Time to get on with the weekend here.
OK - I don’t want to leave just yet. Not until after eating the ice cream being provided at 4pm.
Happy weekend, all.
there is a pizza pie on my desk.
I rarely ever order lunch at work. Three reasons:
1. Ordering in usually constitutes eating something unhealthy.
2. It gets too costly.
3. I work in an area where the options of delivery are limited. Very limited. Probably for the best.
Today, I said F it. It’s snowing outside. I really didn’t want my veggie burger or yogurt. I wanted warm food. I wanted bad food. I wanted pizza. I...
things i dreamed about last night.
Including but not limited to:
- Showering(naked, obviously) in front of tons of strangers. I was mortified.
- Paris Hilton. Not sure her role, but she absolutely made an appearance.
- Our Keurig. I was harassing my mom to pick up more coffee things for it.
Normal.

i can't really be that busy.
When I was a little kid, I used to sneak out of bed, crawl under my desk next to the night light, and read. The literature at that time was intense. Babysitter’s Club, Little Sister, and most important of all, Sweet Valley High. Things got really over my head once they went to college! I lived for it all. I was actually IN the Babysitter’s Club CLUB - but that’s another story.

how to be drunk →
This is hilarious. The part that really made me laugh outloud:
Undress quickly as if you’re suddenly allergic to your clothes. Wolf down your food while checking Facebook. Write on people’s walls. Make a weird status update that just says “drunk ziti.”

in a severely unreliable world...
I can always rely on Victoria’s Secret. I have never been more let down by the real world than in the past few months, dealing with all the nonsense that I have. But when my day seemed to have hit its all time low, my VS order from last week arrived at my desk like a little bundle of love from the big guy up above. Without fail, my orders always come within days of purchase. Never even a...

what a job.
Naming nail polishes.
Seriously, who does it? Whose full time job (or at least part time job) is it to name nail polish colors?
How much fun does that sound? I love words. LOVE words. Adjectives. Colors. Wow.
Sometimes the names on the bottles make zero sense to me when I look at the colors. Sometimes, they make perfect sense. The point is, I’m starting to wonder if they even have to make...

HAHA I did the SAME exact thing.
holy longchamps.
I remember once reading a post about where to take your Longchamp bag when the holes in the corners start to become a serious problem. I can see right through them at this point. This is not OK! Does anybody know if Nordstrom will take care of this? Will ANYONE take care of this? Help. These bags are so freaking ideal…except for this one huge problemo.
jenine happy.
My best friend Jenine met the love of her life a little over two years ago. From the moment the two of them started dating, I could immediately see that it was different from the typical relationship. I’d never seen her so over the moon happy. And after months, one year, a year and a half…two years, she is still that happy. Happier. Her friends coined the term “Jenine...

Salads…sans lettuce.
I’ve never been a big fan of the lettuce aspect of my salad. Sure, I eat it when it’s there, especially when at a restaurant. But I have recently noticed how often I eat around the lettuce. I have come to a serious realization: I’m just not a huge fan of the leaf.
I do love everything else in a salad though. And lately I have grown to appreciate the...
there is a hole in the thigh of my leggings.
That’s what you get for purchasing $4 items from Forever 21. I suppose for the amount of times I’ve worn them so far, I got my money’s worth. They cost me less than any lunch…I can’t complain.

I was on an email chain with about 20something people that I am friendly with at work about a Minute To Win It competition. I figured hey, sure why not? It’s my team and another team that I work with and feel totally comfortable around, I’m going to volunteer for the first competition, which happens today at 5pm. As I’m casually sharing that I’m partaking in this fun little...

soda < water
Every day I drink water at work. Occasionally Poland Spring Sparkling. Once in a blue moon I will grab a Diet Dr. Pepper out of the fridge, which is always stocked. Five sips in, I feel like I ate a three course meal. My body just isn’t cut out for this.
