why i love roomies.

more than a dissonant chord, 

more than the ding at the end of your ten minute massage at the nail salon,

more than, for heaven sakes, death cab for cutie,

one of the saddest sounds in this world,

is the sound of a mustard jar shattering on the floor of your kitchen.

especially of a new one that has never been used.

but 

more than a puppy,

more than nutella,

and even more than the seed itself,

one of the happiest things in this world,

is finding your roomies

diligently salvaging your mustard,

being careful not to touch the parts that touched the floor,

not to even come close to the broken glass,

and spooning it into a cute little tupperware container.

i love you,

 timmy and chaddington bear.

shameless loves, by craig

{craig's list. get it? i thought it was funny...}

things that craig loves

{but really probably shouldn't}

1. good conversations. dialogue is the one of the most neglected art forms i can think of. when people put their electronics away and focus on the person in front of them, magical things can happen. 

2. nerds. 

i really enjoy science fiction. 

my dream demise is to be shot by an alien (because no one's done it before).

3. snow. is there anything more beautiful?

4. VEGETARIANISM. the more i do it, the more i love it, and i don't care how much it bothers people (because apparently it does, i've found). it is SUPER good for you, and actually really fun. 

5. uma thurman and everything about her. her finesse as an actress; her beautiful face; her BAD-ASS-NESS. 

6. people watching. 

i'm a creep. 

i even talk to myself about the people i'm watching. wow. by the way, airports make the best watching.

7. money. it isn't happiness, but why do i feel so good when i've got some in the bank?... just sayin'

8. molly's blog. i check every day. 

9. and so much more!

thanks, craig! i think that shirt deserves a spot on the list too...

and a very happy no shame (january) to you!

xoxo

yeh

i wouldn't mind...

i wouldn't mind being at summer camp right now

i wouldn't mind frolicking barefooted in big open fields

i wouldn't mind a campfire {with s'mores}

i wouldn't mind a picnic with some cheese and crackers and grapes

i wouldn't mind some stars, a moon, and a bench to sit and watch

i wouldn't mind a lake to jump in

i wouldn't mind some flip flops

i wouldn't mind some outdoor concerts

i wouldn't mind some summer sun

okee, how much longer until june? :-)
