i hate when i look at clothes or shoes in the store or on other people and love the way they look but know that even if i bought them, i’d never have the guts to wear them because i’d be sure that i was going to get it wrong or look like i was trying too hard.
why in the world does The Daily Plate have a listing for a Salmon Cupcake?
what the heck is a salmon cupcake - besides GROSS?
just got an email notifying me that my HS boyfriend’s little sister posted a picture on facebook and tagged me in it.
i cannot see said picture as facebook is blocked at my office until noon.
i am so scared.
Edit: HAHA - false alarm. just one of those dumb ‘share your memories in the comments’ pictures where you tag everyone you knew.
of course, that makes me laugh given the fact that she and i really didnt get along so much… would she like me to reminise about how her mom banned me from BF’s graduation? or how they stood in his room listening to his answering machine messages so they could laugh at me when we were fighting? or maybe the time she was hooking up with a friend of mine behind his GFs back and then when he wouldnt give her the time of day at MY CLASS’ (which she was not a part of) graduation party, she expected me to leave too?
or, ooh - i know! the time we were at dinner for their step-dad’s birthday and contemplating dessert and either she or her mom turned to the other and said, in a loud whisper, ‘skip it - you dont want to get fat like kristen did’.
yeah, good times.
MTM #11 — October 26, 2009 — Theme = “Take A Bow”
My methodology: MTM #11 was our first anniversary event, and I’m also pleased to say that we got some level of attendance back up. (Speaking of, if anyone’s reading this and is interested, we’ve got a whole mess of ways you can find us, from Meetup to Facebook, but start here: http://www.mixtapemixer.com). So we were feeling self-congratulatory, hence, the desire to take a bow. There was also a significant chance that MTM #11 would be our last one, after having had dismal turnout for the few prior (again, thankfully, that’s been staved off). The idea of this theme though, to take it literally, was to make a mix of great live tracks. The only exception I made was on the Sloan song, as the so-called Party Album wasn’t actually recorded live (but the gimmick was funny, and I opted out of using anything from their actual live album because of this).

Marilyn Monroe
best part about old marilyn pictures? no photoshopping… if this was today, her left boob would be perked up. her right arm, slimmed down. her chin re-contoured…
must remember these things when looking in own mirror…
Honestly, I think this shirt is hilarious.
And believe me, if Delaware wants to think they’re better than Rhode Island because they’re bigger, they can try all they want, but their state doesn’t even have a network TV affiliate to spread the word.
i *heart* delaware and all of its ‘no one knows we’re even a state*’ insecurities…
*(i cant even count the number of times that people asked me where in pennsylvania the university of delaware was…)
if i make this the only item on my registry, that will ensure that i get it, right???

This looks worth whatever scale-damage would follow it…
Chocolate Truffles with Sea Salt
Five ingredients. Three steps. All hail Pioneer Woman.
Seriously, these would make the perfect little Christmas gifts for coworkers and acquaintances - put them in a pretty little box and voila! If there’s a girl out there who doesn’t like salt and chocolate together, then I have yet to meet her.
yes, please…
I WILL be making truffles this holiday season. oh yes, I WILL…
not to mention Pioneer Woman’s pumpkin spice muffins… (YAY FALL!)
FILE UNDER: perhaps the most loser-ish of all the loser thoughts i’ve ever had
i bet way more people have had this same thought than you think… god knows i have… i actually think match experimented with the idea for like, a minute, but i may have made that up…
However, how about a meetup group?
“I love challah bread. I’m learning about Jewish food, going to Zabar’s. I love that place.” - J.G.
Because there is no quicker trial by fire than the wrath of 100 angry UWS yentas on line for groceries. Just be thankful it’s not Ess-a-Bagel on the Friday before a holiday weekend!
Just so long as he stays far away from Fairway…
Just realized - the new sunglasses that I ordered yesterday? Men’s.
I kind of doubt the veracity of this particular Tweet, but I guess it’s always possible.
i dont care if its true or not - its awesome.
