I had to reblog because I got this exact cut last summer and LOVE it. It always looks styled, whether I wear it wavy or straight. And yeah, I’d like to think it does look a little more grown-up than my previous long and out-of-control locks. Thank you, Nicole Richie, for almost a year’s worth of cute hair

24isthenew25:

Eh? Ehhhh??

So I’m thinking about cutting my hair for my 26th birthday. Actually, I’ve been thinking about this for awhile, but at lunch today my coworkers may have convinced me. “It’ll look so full and bouncy!” “It’ll make you look older - in a good way!” they said. And most importantly, they told me, “It’ll grow back!”

My reasons for this possible chop are the following:

I haven’t had short hair since I was 11, and I figure if I’m going to cut it short in my adult life, it better be before I have kids. I don’t ever want to be accused of getting a “mom bob.”

Having long hair is just having long hair. Short hair is a hairstyle.

I’m going to need a distraction from turning another year older, better it not be anything permanent. Like a tattoo. Or a cat.

My birthday is - thankfully - more than a month away, but feel free to weigh in and encourage / discourage my oddysey into the land of the lob (long bob).

sorry, kids

Dear Trader Joe,

icanseenewyorkcityfrommyhouse:

How is it possible for you to make a profit off of $0.99 whole wheat pizza dough (8 servings!) and $5.99 malbecs? Your business acumen and customer service skills are incredibly sexy. I can only imagine you to be as good looking and charming as you are profit-margin-savvy. Is there a Mrs. Trader Joe? Does she look the other way? Or is your life, your love and your lady the sea and bargain groceries?

I knew it was too good to be true. Oh well. We’ll always have our mango and chicken sausage ($3.99 for 5) and chicken dumplings ($3.29).

Eyeing you in the checkout aisle,

Stephanie

Remember how in the 90s, teenagers used to get really intense about updating their AOL profiles and you could search for people from your high school or whatever? Isn’t it sort of funny that this is never mentioned as a Facebook predecessor?

“The creedal declaration “I believe in God” is a statement of action and will; it is performative rather than assertive. It is not equivalent to the claim that God exists (although Christians believe that too). It possesses the kind of certainty that belongs to such wistful sentences as “I love you” or “I believe the Mets are the best team in baseball.” It clearly lacks the empirical certainty of the sentence “I believe this maple tree will turn red in October.””

The NBA has recruited Kanye West’s latest single, “Amazing,” as the musical backdrop for its 2009 playoffs campaign.

“So let me just tell you what i’ve been up to. Yesterday i went to a
steam system design seminar for 8 hours. Changed. my. life. I’ll
never be the same. I have good news too…one of the facilities where
you can become privy to the magic is located not too far away in
chicago. i strongly urge you to make the pilgrimage and have your
life changed too. I suggest you do all the “ferris bueller” stuff
first because if you go to the steam seminar, well, everything else in
the world will just be mundane details. Take in the art museum and
wrigley field before you realize just how irrelevant it all is in
comparison.”

My Day in Food by The Anti-Nutritionista

Dinner: Some sort of sausage, mac & cheese, spinach & romaine with Balsamic viniagrette

I live with my parents right now and this is what my mom makes for dinner when we all have somewhere to be. I couldn’t finish all the macaroni she put on my plate and I thought the sausage looked a little questionable, but I love my mommy and seldom turn down free food. I eat a lot of stuff at my parents’ house that I never touched when I lived alone. But my mom also does my laundry, so it’s almost worth it… almost.

I hate to say it, kaytee, but this isn’t all that bad! Spinach? GOOD. Sausage? Could be good depending on what it’s made out of. Mac & cheese? Even I’m known to eat that — let’s face it — fairly often. Maybe you’re not the Anti-Nutritionista after all?

Tough Love is actually a really positive show about developing healthier relationship habits.

But it’s still entertainingly trashy. AND it’s on VH1 no less.

Seriously, if you’re not watching, you’re missing out. It’s like a feminist consciousness-raising session and therapy rap under a Maury Povich veneer.

Agree. This is one trashy VH1 show I can feel sort of good about watching. (And I do, religiously. With my boyfriend.)

Getting back into strength training...

yoquieropancakes:

Here is the plan:

Mondays: 3 mile run / legs / abs

Tuesdays: 4-6 mile run (alternating every week) / chest / biceps

Wednesdays: speedwork (800 repeats or tempo runs)

Thursdays: 2-4 mile run (alternating every week) / shoulders / triceps

Fridays: rest

Saturdays: long run (6-10 miles) / abs

Sundays: 60 minutes of cross training

Ah - it always looks good on paper. We’ll see how it actually goes…

don’t forget your back, girl!

That’s all.

Mom just figured out that she had her foot manicure two chairs away from KIm Cattrall!!!! She just told me that the woman near her looked exactly like that Sexy Sex in the City star— and, hey, guess what— she’s in Ann Arbor in the Hilary Swank film.
