1. Buy some of those filler little white baby’s breath flowers for yourself. They last until they collect dust, and they look dainty and pretty in a room.
2. I had a guy wolf whistle at my kid in front of me, pretty fucking rude from all angles.
3. Picked up a new rug and thought I’d donate some clothing on the way to pick it up. While driving there, I imagined dropping my car key into a donation bin and having it ruin my whole day. Instead, I got there and it was closed. I had to go back home and unload my car into my garage so I would have room in the trunk to pick up the rug. My garage COULD be a donation bin at this point. I could open up a Goodwill. I don’t even think a garage sale would work. I don’t believe people would want my very, very used things. Instead I’ll just keep everything in my garage and one day call a truck to come pick it all up for donations. Oh, and the rug looks great.
4. If you don’t have Shazam, and you like music, might I suggest getting Shazam? Yeah, I know this is like the oldest app tech out there... But listen, every time you’re out and hear a song you can’t identify that you like or want to identify, you just tap shazam and it tells you the artist, the song, the album. Here’s the true feature though. At the end of the year, you can look at the list of songs and make a playlist of all the background songs that intrigued you that year. I don’t know, you guys, it’s the little things. Cheap thrills.
5. My house runs on sugar and dry laughter.
6. Pre-rug, I went on a good first date this week. We talked for hours without taking a bathroom break to look at our phones. We drank two drinks each. I felt protective despite his size.
7. This morning I removed eight cups/drink vessels from around my bed. Tonight, I will retreat with four. They are all mine, I sleep alone.
Life changed v. recently when I learned that you can add Shazam as a widget on control center, so you can bypass opening the app and the “tap to shazam” stage, saving vital seconds if you’re only hearing a snippet, or if you only realise at the last second that you need to know the song. Just swipe down from top right even if your phone is asleep…game changer (at least it is if you’re as slow as me). Has everyone but me always known this?
Great idea, to create a Shazam playlist!
Treating it like a notepad for those songs you hear in a store and forget to look up later!
Alternative to Babysbreath, preserved eucalyptus. Somehow stays fresh and fragrant for months and looks alive.
