Miffed
I am kind of miffed. One of my grad school friends (who I only hung out with in class because that’s how it works in grad school when you work full time, ok?) invited me to go to trivia with her and other grad school girls tomorrow night.
I was all yeah, sure! That’d be fun since I don’t hang out with these girls..and most of us work at the same place and therefore only see...
I get stuff.
My boss referenced the law of diminishing returns when I was talking to her about how I wanted to cancel a meeting next week because it was pointless. I was all yeaaah girl, econ reference, I Gotcha.
In reality, I really just didn’t want o have the meeting because I triple booked myself.
America: Home of microwaved, prepackaged meals
So every time I go shopping I peek into other people’s carts to see what they have…because I’m nosy and also I’m totally doing a little experiment.
Here is what I’ve learned: When I’m at a local store/co-op, the carts are filled with fruits, veggies, and lean meats. The worst food in there is Pirate’s Booty and we all know that isn’t bad. When I...
Spaghetti
When people are all “We’re having spaghetti for dinner” and then pop open a jar of sauce, I get irrationally angry. My mom always made spaghetti sauce from scratch when I was a kid, and like the ONE TIME she tried to fool us with the jar stuff, my brothers and I flipped shit and made our own sauce.
On that note: making spaghetti sauce. Mmm.
My mother effing phone won't turn on
And for some reason I keep forgetting and picking it up to check my email and then instantly getting angry because it won’t turn on.
New York City is a crazy hard place to live, but it always seems like it would be even harder to live anywhere else after being here.
What is a girl supposed to do?

Best decision ever, high waisted skinnies
Jeans have become one of those things I just hate. I feel like they are too tight, too loose, too low.. You name it, I am just uncomfortable or self conscious. So therefore I stick to dresses, skirts and leggings. Well that all changed with a purchase of some high waisted skinny jeans. I am feeling CONFIDENT! If you live in NYC I urge you to go to the Court sale in Nolita and get yourself a pair...

Oh and by the way...
I bought the Wen.

I don't know if anyone else will cop to watching... →
I love QVC. Those sales people WORK IT. Seriously, those ladies are super
stars(if there are men QVC sellers I haven’t seen them, I do live in NYC
and do have a life sometimes, okay?) So recently, I saw their segment on
Wen haircare and I have been totally sucked in. Wen is a haircare system
that claims to bring “new life” to your hair. It’s not shampoo and...
Today is the slowest day in the history of days!
What she said.
On making dinner tonight
Russell: we could make a grilled cheese and share it..we don't have a lot if bread
Me: NO!
Russell: ...why?
Me: ONE NEVER SHARES GRILLED CHEESE
My boss: Go home!
Me: But it's my day to stay until 7...
My boss: Oh! Then don't go home yet...
FML.
I'm going to see Reno 911 stand up tomorrow
For free.
My plan: Drink my face off/eat my face off at the local college bar (within walking distance to the event and my house, score!), and then promptly laugh my ass off.
Edit: It’s in a classroom. This just makes me laugh.
Ahhhhh.
How do people research grad programs and study for GREs and still get their
job done and also try to still have a social life?!
I’m feeling like I’m doing this all wrong.

(via muchtoyourchagrin)
Amen. Get toxic people out of your life. I have no time for people who don’t make me feel good.
Decided to forgo making dinner or eating leftovers
In favor of getting Mexican food. I’m the happiest girl in the world.
This is the most useless post ever.
Guacamole for life.
Gd you Parenthood! Did anyone else watch? I just totally cried. Too much.

Lent
me: in conclusion: what do you want for fat tuesday gluttony? (after the gym of course)
Russell: freaking cadburry egg stuffed french toast on top of a bed of cheese fries
everyone should definitely subscribe to the etsy...

They’re both douche bags (Ben & Courtney) and deserve each other. The end.
Hi, my name is Cax and I don't know good music
As in: I haven’t paid attention to music in oh…the last 5 years? I was very into it in college, but just kind of got busy and lost track.
With that said: what should I buy? The last CD I bought (on iTunes, duh), was Blink-182’s new CD. Did I tell you I used to be obsessed with Blink back in the late 90s/early 2000s? Because I was. I still have a crush. On all of them.
...
WatchThis is incredibly cool.
Outback was tasty
Right up until my last bite of salad, wherein I bit into a cucumber and it tasted like POISON. Like so bad, I had to spit it out in my napkin.
Brb, hope I don’t get food poisoning. I have shopping to do tomorrow!
Going to Outback for dinner
I know, I’m judging myself. But sometimes, a girl just wants some G D cheesy fries, you know?
If it makes you/me feel any better, I’m getting a salad for dinner.
In an hour and a half, I can go to the bar with my...
Yep, you read that right. Russell brought him to work with him (it’s a Friday thing…and a Montana thing), and is going to happy hour after. Jackson is a regular at the bar, so it’s cool that he’s there.
So..yeah, I’m going to go drink with my husband and dog.
Also, I’m trying to sell some clothes to Buffalo Exchange. This is my first time. I am scared they are going to be mean. Also the line is epic.

(It’s time for Spring Cleaning!)
My mom is a veryyyy naive/prude/conservative lady
But at lunch today, she uttered the words “Brace yourself because I’m going to say something. Like, something shocking. Are you bracing yourself? PEOPLE CAN’T JUST GO AND HAVE WILD SEX EVERY DAY.”
I promptly threw up my lunch.
Note: This wasn’t in reference to me.
Sometimes I purposely schedule a lot of meetings...
So I can get through the effing day faster.
Another Tumblr Buddy thought
If I was all of a sudden buying random shit and baking things for someone I didn’t know, I think Russell would think I’d lost my damn mind.
I could never do Tumblr Buddies.
You all spend a shitload on people you’ve never met. I could never! I’d be the jackass TB who sends homemade cookies and dollar store prizes every time.
What 3-day weekend?
Harumpfh.
I am at Brooklyn Brainery for my low tech screen printing class. I am talking SO much. Help.
