texturism:
there is a question i have been wanting to understand the answer to, but have been feeling that i simply can’t ask. eventually i just ask it anyway:
do you think there was a part of you that imagined the two of you would somehow end up together?
immediately, i wish that i hadn’t. the look on…
really beautiful and sad at the same time

HOLY SHIT
sweetvirginiabreeze:
I still feel like I just had a heart attack. I almost dove under my desk for real until I saw everyone else RUNNING out of the building.
The epicenter was like 30 miles from Richmond.
In the east end. We thought a truck had run into our loading dock

Ramshackle Glam (Tumblr): True Confession Tuesday →
ramshackleglam:
cosign. the finger-wagging about all this stuff is ridiculous, and functions solely to make sure that every single mother-to-be feels that whatever she’s doing, it’s not good enough. you ate a piece of deli meat? your baby’s not getting into julliard, too bad. you expressed any level of anxiety or…

I never thought I would say this, but … I am very glad I am through my twenties, intact, with no permanent damage done, no children, no ex-husbands … and only one tattoo. ;) (via juliaallison)

Broke is the New Black: Opinions please. →
sweetvirginiabreeze:
So I have a friend - an acquaintance really - who is inviting me to her wedding in October. I found it a little strange since I haven’t really talked to her aside from Facebook status comments (the last time I saw her in person was last fall), but I figured she’s just having a big wedding and…

No, there is no right way. You just have to do whatever it is that you do to move on. Some people reminisce and others disparage it to no end. That being said, it’s probably better if you don’t torture yourself by reliving the it too much. I’ve always done that after breakups as well.

Daily Kayla: Is This My [Dating] Life? Episode 8. →
dailykayla:
You all remember this story from a few weeks back right? And the update?
I will give you one guess who emailed me this morning.
Good Morning! I came across your profile again and thought I’d say hi. Have you had any luck on here? I haven’t, except a first meeting in Starbucks without a…

The Disposable Woman →
I’m glad someone finally said it. I’ve been worried about those two women. You know it’s only a matter of time before he turns on them. He is one of the actors that I grew up with and it has always been a puzzle to me why people ignore his violent behavior towards women and he remains a popular actor. The media ignores it to a point that all the women who have accused him of...

If This Were A Picture Of My Dogs...
Totally funniest cartoon I’ve read in a while. Thanks for sharing this.
ramshackleglam:
Would you be able to guess which one is Lucy, and which one is Virgil? Go on, give it a shot.
You are correct!
Here’s another visual that sums up Virgil pretty neatly:
Seriously, this is one of the funniest things I have read in my life, ever. Please trust me and go read it.
It’s also a pretty...

I don’t eat a whole lot of seafood. I mean, I obviously eat sushi whenever I can get my hands on it, and I make that Shrimp Saffron Pasta at least once a month…but other than that, the only thing I really do is bake a solo piece of salmon whenever Kendrick’s more interested...

Ramshackle Glam (Tumblr): Reader Question / Easy... →
I would suggest cellophane bags of goodies tied with a pretty ribbon. That would be more manageable for 80 people and take less cookies to fill per bag than tins. Mom’s idea of trays in the copy room are a good idea. Just put a little card with them that says Happy Holidays for everyone! Here are some easy recipies I like.
Mint Thins (really good)
Coconut almond snowballs

I’m traveling halfway across the country to be with my family for the next few days. In the meantime, please enjoy this post from my Cary Randolph of fresh every day fame. If you don’t have a total girl crush after reading her blog, then I find you strange.

One space or two spaces
georgiegirlnyc:
Today a post about how many spaces are meant to be put after a full stop went around the internets. Apparently, the rule is that only one space is needed. This goes against everything I was taught. Boo hiss!
Am I the only one who is now totally paranoid about how many spaces I put after my full stop (or I think maybe Americans say ‘period’)?
I’m still going to go with two...

Musings . . . Exactly,
this is a great post, just because it hits the nail on the head about being happy.
thecooknook:
I’m not special or extraordinary. I don’t have any talents like singing (my children’s choir director actually told me not to stand so close to the microphone) or dancing (I tried out for cheerleading once.. my gymnastic movement? a somersault..like the kind when you just roll on the floor); I could...

Good News
Miso soup or a noodle bowl from vietnamese place usually hits the spot when I’m ill.
lovepuppy:
My 24 hours flu/food poisoning seems to be tapering off. I’m still having hot/cold flashes. I’ve eaten an english muffin and a banana and kept them down. Ditto on the coconut water. Now I’m just really weak from having no fuel in my body in 24 hours.

This poor blog is neglected
I started this blog to keep in touch with friends and family after I moved to Richmond, VA from Raleigh, but I’ve been really neglectful of it. I haven’t posted any cool pictures or any funny stories. I just can’t seem to think of anything that I think will interest anyone.
That’s sad. I don’t know why I’ve always been hugely suprised when anyone is...
