July 31st, 2009 “Common sense is like this: if there were a really dark cave, and you just wandered up to it, with like, 5 or 6 people, would you go in? If not, than you have common sense. If you’d get up in there, well…shooooooot! You better be gettin’ some. It’s common sense, fool.”
Just finished crying after laughing so hard at this definition. He’s kinda on to something, don’t you

July 31st, 2009 I’ve been thinking a lot about friendship, and community, and all that jazz lately. Yesterday, there was a phenomenal post about this exact topic.I’ve written about my own shifting feelings on this whole issue, but I realized I left out a huge thing that’s making me feel better about this community business. See, if there’s one thing that seems to be common with 20-somethings, it’s this general feeling of confusion

July 30th, 2009 This just nearly made me pee my pants. Bwah ha ha ha ha ha!

July 30th, 2009 My sweetheart of a boyfriend woke up early, made me breakfast AND packed my lunch! He’s basically the best. I mean, I always think that, but this was stellar. The girl at Starbucks was congenial, there was NO LINE and my coffee was delicious! Love that. I had a great conversation with friends before school, and I am just so happy to have my friends around all the time

July 30th, 2009 This post by Chelsea (one of this week’s current obsessions) about being a woman made me think a lot. In it (seriously, though—ignore my summary and read the original—worth it!) she discusses the sort of woman she is, and the kind she wants to be. It made me think a lot about who I am, about who I’m trying to become, and at the end of the day the sort

July 29th, 2009 It never fails that I can find things to read and obsess over. Here are a few from this week:
—Mark Bittman of the New York Times posted 101 salad ideas here. While some of them are a bit strange, most of them sound absolutely delicious. Plus, there are some good recipes on there for dressings and such. Yummy, healthy and perfect for summer when I’m so not about heating

July 29th, 2009 I ALWAYS…
—Drink coffee in the morning. A day without coffee is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
—Listen to NPR in the morning for a bit.
—Wear skirts and dresses to work
—Have to have a little bit of snuggle time with Andrew before heading to sleep
—Check Twitter and my email first thing in the morning
I SOMETIMES…
—Take a bath when I get home at

July 28th, 2009 45 — The number of minutes it took me to arrive at work this morning. Commutes suck.
1 — The number of lattes I consumed this morning.
1700 — The number of lattes I wish I’d had this morning.
2 — The number of red heels on my feet this morning.
2 — The number of feet that were going to fall off or bleed

July 28th, 2009 Since going on summer break, I’ve had many negative sentiments directed my way from the working populus, namely “Suck it!” and other choice phrases indicating jealousy of my summer break.
Well, they can all stop now. Because I am definitely back at work. Yes, starting today I’ll have over 100 new 13-year-olds to mold, shape and torture. If you hear a whimpering sound coming from a child later, it’s likely

July 27th, 2009 When Andrew and I spent the day in Tahoe last week, I failed to mention one very important activity: MINIATURE GOLFING. I’d been mini golfing at this course as a kid, and had some fond memories of going there. Apparently, my memory failed to remind me of how creepy this golf course is. When you arrive, you get to pick your course, and I selected the Storybook themed course. Um,
