Oh my...

I just spent the last 10 minutes ooh-ing and ahh-ing (and occasionally squealing) at the sight of these incredibly precious/amazing/adorable/essential coffee mugs over at Anthropologie






and my favorite:
(it's too cute for words)

I didn't think there was anything that could make me love coffee more than I already do. But I think I just found it.

25 is the Magic Number

I had this as a facebook note a while back, but I recently found it again and thought it's be a nice little "get to know you" for the blog. There are 25 random facts, so I'll post them 5 at a time so the interweb is not overwhelmed by the absurd randomness of my life and personality. So here it goes....

1. I love coffee. If you didn't know this, you are probably not my friend. It is my addiction and obsession and honestly what gets me out of bed in the morning. People who add all the creme/milk/sugar/coffeemate/syrup nonsense are posers. Instant coffee=sacrilege.


2. I’m basically 80 years old. I love to knit, bake, clean, and read to small children. My back starts to hurt if I stand up too long, I'm currently contemplating glucosamine supplement for my knee pain, and I’m pretty sure I’ll need a hip replacement before I’m 40. If that doesn’t remind you of your grandmother, I don’t know what will.

(I was tagged in this picture on facebook. You can check my profile, I am not kidding)

3. I really like wintergreen Altoids. I then keep the tins and put things like earrings, change, and bobby pins in them.

4. I laugh a lot. Like, a lot a lot. And most of the time it’s at really silly things. Like myself, and the Disney channel. But I laugh anyways. I’m told it’s contagious.



5. Sarcasm is what I do. I have a true appreciation for those with the driest of humor. Though I've found that it doesn’t work too well via text . . . Sorry friends.

What's Making Me Happy This Week.

I've been listening to the podcasts while I run, and people in my neighborhood/along the road I run down probably think I'm crazy, because i'm constantly grinning and laughing despite running moderately long distances. 


 They discuss everything from Lady Gaga to Fall TV to Zombies, and their childhood fears. It's great. They also have regular features to the show like "What's Making Us Happy This Week" (thus the name of the post) - which is pretty self explanatory and yet wildly entertaining. And the "Regrettable Television Pop Quiz" in which they play clips from truly awful television and try to guess the show it's from.

So what's making me happy this week (besides this entertaining and often intellectual[ish] podcast)?
My new running kicks!


Now I don't feel like I need a knee replacement after every run!

And Starbucks Peppermint Mocha - The obvious king of all holiday drinks.


So delicious!
