Falling into Autumn
Every Autumn I tend to fall apart a little bit. The weirdest part is, it’s mostly because of good things I remember. And it always happens when I’m outdoors. At the first onset of the cold mornings and sunny days with a bit of a chill, I get a flood of nostalgic thoughts that make me wish I could turn back time and relive some of those moments. I still find it so strange that I can be content with...
Wrapping a piece of paper?
My husband’s bday is coming up. We’ll be in Vietnam in a few weeks and I’m planning on buying him a tailor-made suit while we’re there, but in the meantime I need a creative way to wrap that up as a gift. So far I just have a bunch of suits I’ve printed off websites - so a pile of paper. Not to thrilling in the presentation. Any ideas???
NYC restaurant recs/other fun things to do:)
My boyfriend and I are going to NYC August 28th-Sept 3rd. We’re going partially for his birthday because he has never been to NYC and partially for me since I haven’t been back to visit everyone since I moved away a year ago. Anyway, I’m looking for a good restaurant to take him to on his birthday. I know I lived up there for about 3 years, but I lived in Hoboken and didn’t frequently go out...
On Meds
Hello beautiful tumblinas! I realize that it’s been forever since I posted… sorry, girls!
So here’s the question. I was prescribed Bactrim today for an abscess (long story). I keep reading that the side effects are awful. Have any of you taken it/ what’d you think?
Thanks, dolls!

Desperate Email to Tech Support for installing a...
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which o perated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0...

#5 … the way Tumblr is spazzing out over him. Granted, at least it’s a change from the constant ‘ ZOMG Obama is the messiah!1!1!1’ hyperbole…but seriously, if one more person tumbl-wanks over him I am going to cut a bitch. The Phelps e-jizz is deadset splattered all over my dashboard and I am Not Happy.
Amen, sister.
Just saying.
A little TOO patriotic?
Is there even such a thing? I’ve become a little more American by watching the Olympics…
Then I denounce it and have nothing to do with it when I see Bush hold the flag up backwards.
Btw, I heard a lady, AGAIN humming Deep in the Heart of Texas while sitting on the toilet in her stall.
Klassy. Yee-Haw.
…and on a completely different subject of not liking Radiohead and how I’m not a crazy bitch because I’m on the pill…
My sister and I are going to be bridesmaids next fall. Any suggestions on where to start browsing for dresses online?
The Transitional Shopper →
I just created a group about being a shopper who’s tired of buying shit from Target or Old Navy or anywhere in the mall, and having the money go to a big corporation rather than the thousands of kick-ass designers around the globe.
Please check it out and join it!

cooking tumblrs??
Does anyone know of a tumblr or a tumblr group that posts recipes? Preferably quick, healthy and easy? I’m in need of some good ones. I’m trying to start cooking on a more regular basis and get away from ordering take out or eating out just about every night…

Yesterday can’t be expressed enough as FUCKING BORING so…I decided to cease the opportunity in whoring my tumblr.

Hi Ladies,
I am finally finished with my website, and I wanted to share it with all of you. Of course there are things I am still tweaking, but overall I’m happy with the content. I’m using a template from Artlog so I can’t really get everything I want, but hey, its free, and I think it looks pretty good.
Let me know what y’all think!
