You know what I mean?? Mondays are the worst.
*to quote the venerable Lucas from the classic 90’s flick, Empire Records…he was awfully wise. I might watch that movie tonight, now that I think about it.
What’s with today, today?*

Why would you dooooo that to me?!

Chuck Bass, I do not prefer this outfit.
Marissa Cooper – until you purchase a mirror and can see the heinousness that you subject the public to with each and every ensemble you wear – please do not leave the house.

I’m outdoorsy in that I like having drinks on patios
Posted by AllieB on July 29, 2010
Having drinks outside is my favorite activity. Of all the activities one can do – for me, it is number one. Thank you, someecards, for recognizing the validity of such an avocation. Having a Hoegaarden (I have an unhealthy affection for this absolutely delicious and excessively caloric beer) whilst sitting on a patio in the company of friends is honestly as good as it gets, IMO.
We live in a city where this is possible for a better part of the year. Even now, in this utterly oppressive, suffocating heat, patio seating is still an option so long as there is appropriate shade and insect repellent.
The q is – where to go??

So – there are some options…also, a sneak-peak of what will be coming soon to Baxter Bark Twice…! In html friendly format, not a ghetto screenshot of an Excel spreadsheet.
Of course, you can always just go sit out back at 5p. Because, as everybody knows, at the end of the day:
“…it turns out not where, but who you’re with that really matters…” -DMB, 1997
I did that just for you, Billy.
This post was inspired by/kind of plagiarizes A’s blog post from today, which I highly recommend reading:

Obviously

I find the show entertaining, and I’m especially fond of their coined catchphrases (GFA – amazing), but this…this I don’t get.

Dónde está la biblioteca?
Posted by AllieB on July 27, 2010
I have always been an avid reader. When I was in third grade I won $300 for selling the most wrapping paper of anyone in my entire school (Sarah R. Smith Elementary, Class of 1994), and I blew the entire cash prize at the book fair.
To support my habit, I frequent the library. The Buckhead Branch is my favorite – its unique facade is something of an eyesore, but the inside is light and airy and kind of the exact opposite of how I feel most envision libraries to be…
Anyway, Â I wanted to have a short list for when people ask for recommendations – so here it is. I did try to choose some of the slightly less obvious selections, but nothing too obscure.
Soon-to-be-Classics:
- Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay
- Little Bee by Chris Cleave
- Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri
Beach Reads:
- A Soft Place to Land by Susan Rebecca White
- Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah
- Angels by Marian Keyes
Mysteries:
- Cold Paradise by Stuart Woods
- Skinny Dip by Carl Hiaasen
- Night Fall by Nelson DeMille
