fall

shameless loves, by veronica


things that veronica loves
{but really probably shouldn't}

taking a nap during the day even though i've done nothing to make me tired.
saying i'm doing homework when actually i'm looking at pictures of food and growing angry that i do not have said food.
sitting quietly in a car until some rap song comes on and i'm singing along and cursing the loudest.
thinking about playing the drums and learning spanish and french and arabic but just rolling over and watching tron for the 26th time instead.
wearing the same pair of jeans every day because i paid $60 for them. you better believe i'm going to wear the hell out of them.
the blue line. everyone complains about the cta but i love, love, love it.
starting a book only to pick up another book to leave that book for another book...and coming back to the original book a year later
workaholics. all day, every day.
no diggity radio on pandora. seriously. the best ever.

thank you, veronica!
and a very happy no shame november to you!

no shame november!!!!!!!!


it's back! it's back! my favorite month of the year, the month when we don't have to be sheepish about all of the embarrassing things that we love:

no shame november! 

so put on your gauchos, crank up the britney.... unite, eaters of spray can cheese!! you know the drill, folks. got a list of things that you just can't get enough of but have been afraid to admit? now's the time to do it! so fess up and do it shamelessly {perhaps with a side of margarine.} everyone's doing it. i think? 

here's my list... 

shameless loves [edition 2012]

eating my roommate's yogurt cheese
staring at celebrities
high-waisted everything
emoticoning the shit out of everything, even though someone told me that if you use emoticons in a text message it means that you want to have sex
thinking about the future of my hair
my percolator that has needed a bath since august
bacon, ramps, pork belly, you know, foods that are so 2009 
calling things "so 2009"
when people retweet me!!!!!!!!
dark chocolate and the friends that it buys me
voicing confusion
these things { } instead of these things ( )

send in your shameless loves list to yeh.molly@gmail.com and i'll post it! {as long as it doesn't go past the "mildly inappropriate" mark.} 

happy no shame november, everyone!

-yeh!!!!!


sundays in the fall


sundays in the fall are for bringing your own pumpkin {b.y.o.p.}
and making whoopie pies, pumpkin butter, pumpkin bread, and mulled wine about it.
they are for putting bacon on your caramel apples, and sea salt on them too.
...for forgetting to take pictures of the apple cider donuts and for remembering to add a handful of bacon to the dough.
{for shutting up about bacon but also not caring when something is so 2009...}
sundays in the fall are for old friends, new friends, and ones that show up after everyone else has left so you can bask in the hum of the dishwasher, sip on porkslap, and discuss plans for taking over the future. 
sundays in the fall are for gingerbread mustard and vermont friends appearing in the doorway with my favorite vermont mustard.

sundays in the fall, oh how i love you so. summer fridays, you've got some serious competition.

-yeh!




fall failures


when i want to feel like a failure, i make a hole-in-the-middle, then i take pictures of it, and then i let the pictures stare back at me with sad puppy blog-about-me eyes because it's like they know that i can't resist an egg portrait these days. what is the reason for this? what is so attractive about eggs? why do i keep trying to make a hole-in-the-middle even though i know that only mum and sometimes cracker barrel can make them perfectly? overnight me a hole-in-the-middle, mum, please.

why is there suddenly someone in my life who eats one and one half dozens of eggs each day?
