// trader joes really delivers in the snack department. these somehow made it into my cart this week and i’m telling myself that, because it’s dark and not milk chocolate, they’re way better for us. and while all of those cool foodie/paleo/clean-eating instagram accounts are really great and really respectable, sometimes they just make me crave junk food. i’m quite sure this is not their intention.
// while we’re on the subject of trader joes, their white bean + pesto hummus is really good.
// this swimsuit. a one piece! i can’t tell if it’d be totally awesome on or not at all. i haven’t done a one piece in awhile but there are some fab-u-lous ones out there. as for two piece, this one’s pretty near perfect. i have a pair of high-waisted bottoms from top shop already, and they’re really fun.
// a quick and easy read
. it’s our next book club book and, ever-the-shirker, i had this one finished a full month before our next meeting. weird. i’m usually a binge-reader (or not at all) before we meet. anyway, it’s no steinbeck but it’s entertaining. any good books in your worlds lately?

// for as many times as i write LOL in a text or email, i don’t actually laugh out loud even 15% of the time. sorry to my friends who i’ve deceived. no, it’s not as funny as you thought it was. but i do actually laugh out loud at some of these posts by grace. conversations with julia are blog-gold, if you ask me.
// if our eternal tundra ever ceases, i think these shoes would be a good summer addition (in the brown + gold, please).
// i mentioned rompers in my ‘almost 30’ post. i decided i can and i shall so there. i like this one. ooh, i think i actually like this one even more.
// and definitely worth writing home about is this (!!): you guys came through in a huge way when i posted this on instagram forever ago. toilets still aren’t perfect but dishes! oh my word! lemishine
(i find it at target!) and cascade complete
(must be complete!) dry action pacs and my dishes have never been cleaner. glasses seriously sparkle. you have no idea how wonderful this is. we were all getting real tired of rewashing dirty dishes.
// we’ve had this playlist going recently and it’s really beautiful filtering through the background of just about whatever you’re doing. it’s my “hearken spring! come out wherever you are!” music.

that is all for now.
Okay that picture has my mouth watering for chocolate and it's not even 8:30am yet. If you ever want to splurge on some seriously good quality chocolate (and the best peanut butter cups I've ever had in my life) head over to Prides Crossing Confections (in Prides Crossing, next to Beverly) if you havent ventured over there already.
Happy Tuesday!
Ok, I just spent at least the last 15 minutes reading Julia Styles convos and those are seriously lol funny!!! Hilarious! I am going to have to go back and read more. And I love your LOL confession b/c isn't that the truth, ha!
SO funny. keep going. they're all awesome.
I did keep going and they are awesome and then I read her Simon Says posts and they are even more hilarious!!! Thanks for sharing her blog….I'm loving it!!!
Thank yoooou for the playlist. It's making my workday significantly better already. Also those Trader Joe's candies know what's up. They're just so so good.
WHAT?! You don't actually LOL? It's cool. We always say PMSL on Twitter (pee myself laughing), but I've actually only peed myself once. Okay maybe twice.
i'm in a relationship with trader joe's and i cheated yesterday with whole foods.
What's the book?! The link doesn't work, and I'm intrigued 🙂
reconstructing amelia!
You posted awhile back that you were 5'10". I am the same height and have the hardest time finding a romper that doesn't want to cut me in half (in the most unflattering way) If you find one that actually fits you please post!!! Constantly searching!
i found one! here it is: http://us.asos.com/ASOS-Playsuit-with-V-Neck/10ot2e/?iid=2975741&SearchQuery=playsuits&sh=0&pge=4&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Black&mporgp=L0FTT1MvQVNPUy1QbGF5c3VpdC13aXRoLVYtTmVjay9Qcm9kLw..
I've been reading The Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon. High recommend! Also, I think it's funny that you mentioned Grace's Julia Styles post, because I literally just finished reading it and was laughing my head off. Got some strange looks from the people sitting around me.
those dark chocolate PB cups are dangerous. i, unfortunately, do not possess the self control to keep them in our pantry and have banned them until i do. 🙁 i ate the last container in less than 48 hours. without help. as for books, i just read "This is Where I Leave You" last weekend. I think u would like it. A little funny, a little sad, well written, family drama. I could't put it down. Fast read.
i've read that book! i loved it!
also, under 48 hours and by yourself. now that is impressive.
also! did you know it's being made into a movie?
yes, and the casting is perfect. jason bateman as judd. so good.
"How 'bout the name 'War?' That's a sweet one, huh, Mom?" Dying.
in response to your first few sentences: i watched the documentary, "Super Size Me" then went to Mickey Ds and got a small fry because the movie made me crave it. sometimes you just need a junk food fix (a small one). and then it's done.
that is hilarious. super size me making you crave mcd's. that's rich!
Have you read The Light Between Oceans? It is hard to put down.
Seriously…Grace's little Julia is a crack up! Also… (soon to be) 4 kids under 5?? How does she do it? Wow! Thanks for the link, good one. 🙂
