This was today’s FOUND Magazine post. It was discovered between the pages of a fantasy art book at The Goodwill in Connecticut: I’m sure you saw this one coming, but it inspired me to create my own Code of the Girls. Dear faithful, faithful lady friends, please abide: Currently Feeling: Really effing frustrated.Currently Anticipating: Get the eff out of Bumbershoot hell this weekend and into... Read more

This might be devastatingly cliché Seattle, but I long to see my description within the entries of The Stranger’s I Saw U ads. I check it every week. Half reading them for the romanticism missing in my life, quarter reading them for the entertainment value, quarter reading them in hopes that I’ll notice a location I was at, or a description that could quite possibly, maybe just a little, be...

Thanks, Miss Carolina, for your insight into the state of America’s education system. Clearly she’s brainwashed by the “right” side of her state. Oh bejesus. Can anyone find me a map?! I haven’t seen one in years! If it isn’t obvious already, Miss Carolina did not win the crown. (I missed this little tid-bit Friday night when I was watching the Miss Teen U.S.A.... Read more

When I lived in Fremont with Amanda, the two of us would frequent The Dubliner every Wednesday for $1 well drink night. It was incredibly, incredibly hard to pass up a chance to get wasted off $6 and then walk two blocks home. So, we made sure to never miss out. Let’s just say we were thrifty. One night, an incredibly good-looking man immediately caught my eye. Oh boy. I couldn’t stop staring. I was... Read more

Yesterday morning I ran down to the laundry room in my building to switch over a load before heading off to work. Although Sarah and I rent in a condo building, you still have to pay $1 per washer and dryer load. I’ll never understand this concept. If you were to drop $360,000+ on a condo, wouldn’t you want to be sure it included free laundry?! Nevertheless, we have to pay per load, and we’re... Read more

I’ve VA-VA-VA-VOOMED my blog. It needed a new look. Everything you see here, I designed myself. I’m pretty proud, since I’m completely self-taught. Hope you enjoy! I’ll appreciate any reader-friendly suggestions in the comment section, if there’s something you don’t like or would like to see. Thanks for reading! Read more

Sometimes, when life seems a little mundane (weather or need for a change, not sure), I stop and remind myself that it could be a lot worse. At least I have a great job, and both my legs, and a family that loves me, and a roof over my head, and all those other quintessential things that your mom likes to remind you about. But what really makes my world go round, what really makes me who I am and breaths... Read more

Anybody been watching Big Brother? I haven’t caught a season before the current one. And, of course, it took me nothing flat to be totally addicted to the drama. These people are crazy! Two girls can’t stop talking about Baby Jesus and how the game is already predetermined and they’re just “acting out God’s plan.” One even thought God was telling her which tokens were winning tokens in a game....

I read a fellow blogger’s thoughts on three men in her past. And it seemed cleansing and like reckless heart abandonment. So, I figured, Jeanna could always use a little cleansing. It helps me get a little closer to exactly what I want and need in life, eh? One more step in solving the puzzle… Here’s my take on her ex-orcism: _________________________________________________________ I don’t... Read more

In an email exchange with the ole ex today, these two comments were made: I get a psychic sense that it’s going to take a major life change for you to meet the man of your dreams. My bet’s on you and your mind making a new start and going to California with an achin’ in your heart. Psychic premonition, happenstance, really good guess, gut feeling, silly comment, a way to quote my all-time favorite... Read more
