Friday Flotsam

FREEEDEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

We’re having our first backyard movie night of the year next weekend!

You know what I just realized? How much I rely on emojis. Isn’t it crazy what those little images have done to our lives?! The communicative impact that a single image of a sun or a movie projector or a leaf or a pool or a unicorn or a plaid lizard can have?

Just kidding about the plaid lizard part.

Anyway. Pretend that after the work weekend ^^ up there, there’s a sun and a movie projector and a leaf and a pool and a unicorn and a plaid lizard.

We’re still back and forth on what kick-off movie we should watch. Last year we hosted two outdoor movie nights, one showing The Goonies, and the other – Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure.

HOW DOES ONE COMPETE WITH THAT.

Well, Dirty Dancing, that’s how. But Aaron would file for divorce.

My votes are:

• Can’t Buy Me Love
• Wizard of Oz
• Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
• Rear Window
• Sandlot
• One Crazy Summer
• Wet Hot American Summer (but we do have a 10 year-old viewer, so.)
• Midnight in Paris

What do you think?! (sun, movie projector, leaf, pool, unicorn, plaid lizard)

I need some advice.

NOT THAT KIND.

I need hand lotion/lip balm advice.

So yeah, that kind.

What are your go-to transportable hand lotions and lip balms? Not that lip balms aren’t transportable. They’re tiny and can fit basically anywhere. A jean pocket, a bag pocket, your bra.

I need some on my bedside table.

See, I’m out of my normal handmade beeswax lotion (I know I should just make more), and I’ve LOST ALL OF MY STUPID LIP BALMS. Where do they go!? They’re with the missing socks, I tell you.

But I want to try something new, so hit me up, Jack.

“You jump, I jump, Jack.” <–NAME THAT SHOW. (tv, two girls, crying face, leaf, dancing girl, monkey covering his eyes, plaid lizard)

I have two episodes left of 13 Reasons Why.

And I hear these last two are bruuuutal. Actually, I have a bunch of thoughts on the show, but they’re all on my Instagram Stories if you want my two cents. I’ll do another FINAL thoughts sesh (<–sorry I said sesh just now) once I finish the series, but if you’re interested in my so-far take, go peep it! (also, I’m wearing pleated jeans in the videos, so you’ll have to find a way to forgive me.)

All I know is that after this show, I’m ‘monna be binge watching some frickin’ CARE BEARS.

I’ve had a lot of people lately ask about my house plants. (WE HAVE A LOT.) Would you be interested in a post totally dedicated to what house plants we have, and how to keep them not dead?

Wait!

POLL::::::::

Weekend plans?

I HAVE TO CLEAN OUT MY PANTRY. (sorry to scream at you) I just need to roll up my sleeves and get in it. Every time I open the door something falls. Something brushes the sides and makes a haunted whispery sound. I’m so nervous to even look at the expiration dates on these dried goods. Usually I thrive on deep cleaning and organization (like the mom in Amelie! you know when she dumps everything out of her red purse, blows in it and puts it all back? That is me.). But this task has me paralyzed. I’ll avoid it ’til the bitter end! And by bitter end I mean tomorrow morning at 9:15 after five cups of coffee.

Just kidding, you guys!

Six cups. (coffee cup, crying face, dancing girl, monkey with hands over his eyes, sun, pool, leaf, unicorn, plaid lizard.)
