I definitely buy wiser now that I’m in my 30s - less Forever21 bullshit and sexy dresses I never wear, more staple pieces that will actually last. I spend about the same amount overall, but now it’s $100 for a pair of pants I can wear to work AND out in public, vs. 5 cheapo dresses I’d wear once each. The problem is…

I pretty much only buy things online if I know my size/style perfectly for that brand. See: Everlane jeans, Aerie underpants, etc. Otherwise it just sucks and I’d rather just shop in person to save the hassle.

Also: items cut on the bias poorly so that the seams don’t line up with the sides of your body once on. Gaaahhhh. 

My partner and I are both working from home; I tend to have deadlines and a busy schedule M-Th, he doesn’t. I do all the grocery shopping and cooking, laundry, vacuuming, general tidying, and the litter boxes; he does the dishes, cleans the bathroom every few weeks, and feeds the animals about 2/3 of the time. I am…

I love arancini! I meal planned for the week today and scheduled a ramp risotto and now I think I should probably plan arancini for the day after.

Seconded! Give me all the vicarious good news right now, please! Especially actually good things, and not just positivity-porn clickbait BS. 

I have a french husband and an innate aversion to waking up mummified in a horrible twisted top sheet, so we are also in the fitted sheet + duvet with cover club.

I love pastitsio! That looks delicious.

Ew. Picking up existing roadkill (fresh or not) is too far, although when I was a kid in the midwest it was not uncommon for someone to accidentally hit and kill a deer, and then come back with a tarp to break it down. I’m all for that, waste not want not and so on.

Yeah unless jockstraps are held up by ear loops that is...not a jockstrap. 

damn the tiny prince is the spitting image of his mom. 

Exercise is my favorite form of escapism, and nothing beats a HIIT class with loud shitty music and a fast circuit for just erasing my brain temporarily. Lately I’ve been running, but it almost makes me feel worse because it just reminds me how trapped I am - I’ve run the same streets in my neighborhood a million…

Who else is having their mood fluctuate wildly these days?

A+ chicken names

I’m so desperate for good news these days that I am inordinately pleased that your date went well. Fantastic! Irish accents are truly delightful 

That color is delightful.

I hate them.

My partner has developed a habit of looking at me fondly and saying, “You know, eventually we’ll look back on these times as bittersweet...hard, but so wonderful to spend so much time together...” and even though I know he means it sincerely because it IS the most time we’ve spent together in years, holy shit I want…

That is so incredibly touching. 

Oh man my city in the early 2000s was a methy place and meth-fueled spring cleaning is real. I have seen:
