Five Good Things: Cielito Lindo Edition
001. UH, excuse me, did you know that this was a thing?
If you did, WHY have you not told me about it? Whatever, it doesn’t matter, I can’t even be bothered to muster up any anger, because I am too busy imagining myself on the day I get home from Mexico with half gallons of all three flavors (YES, they make Tagalong kind and Thin Mint kind also, I KNOW) and a tablespoon. Or a trowel.
002. It is FRIDAY, which could theoretically be on the list every week, but this week in particular it means Thai with Abbey and Mari, followed by brunch with Haney and dinner with Leslie and BOOK CLUB (I’m making a key lime pie with a coconut topping, because the theme of my book club this month is “margaritas”. See also: my book club is awesome) and trying to navigate some computer stuff and PACKING and maybe an art project because I am feeling itchy that way and maybe The Wackness, which I got from Netflix but am not terribly optimistic about. Anyway, the point is, today is the mother of all Fridays, and I am so glad to wave it a hello.
003. Tom picked me up at the T last night because it was pouring rain and I was soaking wet and bedraggled, even though it meant losing his Hollywood parking spot in front of the house, which like, if you know Tom, he takes his parking spots REALLY SERIOUSLY. And then he listened to me talk about how I am going to invent hand socks all the way home (HAND SOCKS: the wave of the future. One day I will tell you all about my plan for them. And also how I want to start a Boston-based cold weather accessory company called Witch’s T*t that sells both hand socks and winter hats with ponytail holes in the back. But that day is not TOday).
004. Bethany: Game Change is awesome and smarmy and SO SCANDALOUS. I love so much about the things it chooses to be. Also it says the nastiest things about Elizabeth Edwards, and I LOVE Elizabeth Edwards, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to know what a crazy biotch she really is. And it totally confirms Michelle’s status as Our Number One Awesome No Bullshit Heroine Tied With Beyonce and Lady Gaga.
005. My sister is seeing John Mayer tonight. I told her to make sure and call me during the good parts, though I probably didn’t need to. We have been calling each other during the good parts for 22 years.

We have a slight addiction to Slow Churned in our house and I didn’t even know about the girl scout flavors! I might have to make a trip to the store.

tim brought home the thin mint version and i immediately ditched the no sugar/low carb idea. and then i hit him. and then i kissed him. ah, love and girl scout cookies, making life complex since 1994.
do you know that they sell the equivalent of the thin mint in all aussies groceries that we visited, rolls of them for 99 cents AU? it was a terrifying discovery. and did you know they also do not use pennies in australia (so it was actually a dollar AU). they are so frickin’ brilliant over there.

Katie–thanks so much for the comment about my website! I just barely got your package, and I literally squealed with delight. You should know, I don’t often squeal with delight. So that was big news. THANK YOU! I love everything. You’re the best.
