Real Talk :: Wonderment

My best friend Briana asks more questions than anyone I know. Most often they drive me bananas because they are things I thought I knew the answers to, but when asked, I realize I maybe don’t actually know what’s spanish for ‘purple;’ or how Road Rules works. Hence,  a lot of , “Ummm duh, Bri, it’s…ummm…” followed by a lot of grumbled googling. BUT I remember hearing once that one of the greatest signs of intelligence is asking questions. And I’d venture, one of the greatest signs of humility–being able to ask about something you don’t know without a hint of pride or ego. And so, this poster is for Bri. Because she showed me ahead of time what it will be like to live with a toddler. Because she taught me to ask questions fearlessly. Because not all those who wonder are lost. In fact, they’re probably closer to being found than the rest of us.

That’s right. It’s everybody’s favorite game: confess your last searched items in google.

This week my search history is telling the story of a socially aware 7th grader grappling life’s big issues and just tryin’ to get by. (AKA a Lifetime Original storyline.)

Read ‘em and weep (no seriously, it might make you weep)

  • best movies to turn into drinking games
  • what does yolo mean
  • dairy queen nashville hours
  • young adult age range (don’t get me started)
  • chauvinist
  • how much is a pound of cocaine worth? (disclaimer: we were watching a suspense thriller movie and it was research. Also it took my three tries to spell it right, so that’s how street I am. I was also fully expecting SWAT team guys to swing in through the windows as soon as I hit search.)
  • monthly nail polish club
  • army ranks
  • cool cupholders
  • Cephas = Peter?
  • axe body spray flavors
  • Blanch
  • the saddest song there ever was (this is exactly what I typed in, according to google history)
  • mindy kaling new show
  • God’s calling
  • calories in doritos taco (psst it’s 170)

Now confess yours! And check out my friend Tyler‘s confessions. Awesome.

Shamefully yours,

LR

 

No? Just me?

Well I turned another year older last week. And apparantly that kicked right in. Below is a list of things that have happened since I turned 29 that made me feel like Father Time.

  • While driving to an outdoor wedding last weekend, I asked innocently if everyone was going to be wearing their “sun shades” or not. Not sun glasses, not shades. Sun shades. Oh, aging.
  • Same car ride. “Man, radio disc jockeys are the worst.” Disc Jockey. Nobody has said the full name since, like, ever.
  • I bought the constellation app. SO SUE ME.
  • To my little sister who is only 3 years younger: “<sigh> I was your age once…” #dramatic
  • And last night at drinks with friends I said the word, “s’pose.” Which I can’t decide to blame the South for or my rapid aging.
TGIF,
LR

 

No Seriously, Thank You.

Another Year Older, Yet Nothing Has Changed

That chocolate bunny never stood a chance,

Bein’ Cheesy.

On my mind:  How, per se, I’m gonna pull this off.

Listening to: This sa-weet cover.

Glass Houses

On My Mind: I don’t know what to do with it, but this fall I hope to see the Anthropologie or Urban catalogue use the term “Inclognito” in their shoe department.

Listening to: A guy at a party I was at last night tell a girl she looked like Adele. I don’t think it went as well as he planned.
