Dear per­son sit­ting next to me: tak­ing your shoes off is an invi­ta­tion for me to do the same. Luckily for you, I don’t have smelly feet.

Two engine fail­ures = two hours sit­ting on a plane. Being moved to another air­craft with all our bag­gage cause it refuses to work. #broootal

Is it just me, or is it endear­ing to see old ladies drink­ing choco­late milk out of a car­ton with a straw?

Seagull

Watched an old crush get mar­ried today.

There wasn’t a hint of pre­ten­tious­ness in her face. She was never pos­ing, never reserved. Atop a sim­ple wed­ding dress — which she once told me her mom was sav­ing for her to be mar­ried in one day — she wore the taught smile that always scrunched up her cheeks.

Ten years later, and she still has the same hair: short, sandy, with curls parted in the mid­dle. She was one of those peo­ple who did all her grow­ing in high-school. By the time I met her, she was already the per­son she was going to be for the rest of her life.

And that was okay, cause she was already great.

On adopting a second cat

  • Me: I’ll prob­a­bly get another cat when I get back. Not before January though.
  • John: NOO.
  • Me: Why not?
  • John: Cause then you’ll be a crazy cat person.
  • Me: Three would be bor­der­line for a sin­gle per­son, four would be def­i­nite. But I’ll only have two anyway.
  • John: Why do you want another?
  • Me: It’s not like I have any­one in my life right now. Cats fill that void. They make good company.
  • Me: Okay, maybe I’m already a crazy cat person.
  • John: I’m glad you’ve started lis­ten­ing to your­self when you talk.

Wondering If putting peanut but­ter and jam on cia­batta bread is like putting ketchup on steak.
