glitter not bitter.

Standard

remove glitter with play dough!

i have been told, more than once, but less than a million times

that people in my presence

inexplicably end up with glitter

stuck to them or on their food or in unexpectedly odd places

or see traces of it stuck to my face or hair or feet

 while it is true that i do enjoy a great love

of the sparkling wonder that is glitter

i know there are those of you

who may need an easy way

to rid yourself, or your things, or your cake, or your abode

of all that remains

i have a fine gift for you

an easy and magical method to clean it up

you are welcome.

clearing up glitter can be tough. it turns out that there’s one easy way to get rid of those sparkles that spread everywhere. just grab some play dough and press it over the affected areas. that’s pretty much it.

“she who leaves a trail of glitter will never be forgotten.”

-some wise person

a look.

Standard

the description:Ever wish you could just wrap yourself in a plush blanket scarf and pronounce it a look? Well, hello! This pale grey top is crafted with shawl-like wrap styling and features pleats at the shoulder and a crisscross bottom. But unlike your winter scarf, the lavishly soft piece has full-length sleeves.”

my reality:

i do love how comfortable and cozy

this ‘plush blanket scarf’ looks

yet

i wonder

if i can master

(the shawl, wrap, pleats, crisscross features)

 and put it on

without getting all tangled up in it

which would not be

a good look

or quite as comfortable.

alignment.

Standard

Bread bag alignment chart

 

 i’m a hybrid of chaotic neutral and lawful evil, a razor’s edge of distinction between them.

what does this say about me? 

which are you closest to?

different.

Standard

 this building

recently sold

interior updating work has begun

someone has a whimsical creative streak

and one of these chairs is not like the others.

one thing.

Standard

when you have one thing you have to do all day

and it is called summer.

 

 

“re: times in my life when i had one thing to do all day, but i still couldn’t get to it. 

“i gotta go to the post office, but i’d probably have to put on pants. 

and they’re only open until five.

looks like i’m going to have to do that next week.”

-jim gaffigan

it’s all funny.

Standard

i love that this family has embraced the fun in life.

midnight diner.

Standard

it’s not really a weekend at the lake house

with a group of friends

until someone

finds whatever they can

late at night

to saw through the plastic

and chop off a chunk of something in the kitchen.

not the light.

Standard

when people continue to push the wrong button

over and over and over again

attempting to turn out the light

 opening the garage door instead

it’s clear they need more help

and calls for drastic measures.

they may not be sure what this is

but at least

they are now sure what it is not.

board meeting vs. bored meeting.

Standard

after someone moved

 i was asked 

to be an ‘at-large’ member

of my condo association board

filling in for a few months

but i soon 

 found myself elected to a two-year term.

i’m not really a fan of boards, meetings, or committees 

nothing against them

just not my favorite pastime

so not exactly what i was hoping for

but i do want to say a big thank you 

to all who voted for me

even if it possibly had something to do with

me being the only one willing to join

but that is neither here nor there now

 you are all invited to at least one of my inaugural balls

i’ll get the invites out as soon as things calm down

i’m very busy

working on lining up the entertainment

and trying on gowns. 

 

“never schedule a board meeting on wednesday, because it kills two weekends.”
