backyard flowers and a gold windchime / Bev cooks

FriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiLLELUJAH. I need help. DON’T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT. My coffee grinder just went on the fritz. (not to be confused with, my coffee grinder is puttin’ on the ritz.) It died on me this week! And we’d only had it for six months. What GIVES, grinder. I think it’s my fault. (you’re like, […]

flowers, tray, strawberry dress and flower hat

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF roodoo. I want to get more into nightgowns. WHOA, DID YOU NOTICE I DIDN’T SCREAM THAT AT YOU? oh. But really, nightgowns! I wanna get into them. Not like Medicine Quinn Woman. Or Frederick’s of Hollywood. Or Frozen. But like, chill-lady gal nightgowns. Is this already uncomfortable for you? I usually wear sleep pants […]

Summer kebabs

FAAAAAAAA reh deh. LET’S PLAY A GAME. You’re like, “Let’s not and say we did.” No, listen. My friends and I have played this game for years, and it’s sort of my favorite thing in the world. And I want to see if you get a gas out of it (not to be confused with […]

It was everything. Shops, restaurants, everything. Everything. (<–just kidding about saying everything 230 times in a row.) I think it was […]

Mega-mama-mouth serious. How often do you buy new bed pillows? Because I feel like I’m pretty good at this stuff! But yesterday, […]

Tinkerbell Lilacs

FRAPPLES AND FRANANAS. Sorry sorry – Friday. Just finished Season 1 of LOVE. (!) It’s so fun. So cute. So WEIRD and AWKWARD. So you know, nothing like me. I want to say I’m just like hot Mickey, minus all the drugs, booze, cigarettes and that overall deep-sadness-in-her-soul thing. But I truly relate to Gus […]

FRIDay. I mean FriDAY. I mean FRIDAY. I mean Friday. Do you ever think about when you touch produce at the store, how that particular fruit or vegetable becomes yours IMMEDIATELY? And I don’t mean like a pet, you weirdo. I mean like, you touched it. People saw your grimey grubs touch it, and there’s […]
