obsession confessions.

Hi, hi, HI THERE. Surprised? Me too. I have good news and bad news. So much bad news, I know, I know. But listen, the bad news is that Justin is working mega-overtime on weeknights and I am considering myself a temporary gaming industry widow. The good news is that I have a lot of time on my hands to do things other than stare at him...like write an actual blog post! Yes, I just told you that you are my second choice. SURPRISED AGAIN?

Beyond the fiance's OT, my own job has been NUTS lately so we are both dealing with a lot of stress. And also still this:


That THING is adapting to a new vet-recommended diet and also dealing with the loss of her precious Justin time. Last night as all three of us laid in bed (yes all three of us, she just really misses her Justin...), I was crying like a pms-d out moron and jmeoww was trying to bite Justin's feet and hissing at him and then I just started laughing maniacally. WE ARE ALL SLOWLY LOSING OUR MINDS.

So basically, to remind myself that life is generally fantastic and that there are things that I love and worth not running away for, I decided to just splooge them all over this here blog.

faves

  1. True Detective — aka the new thing to always be talking about. Guys, it is everything the world says it is. Those men are incredible. Two more episodes to go and I might actually really have a panic attack during them. SO GOOD.
  2. Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey — It's no secret that I am a science loving geekface and the reboot of Cosmos (March 9th!!!!!!!) is just absolutely everything to me, and also Justin. His deep love for King Carl Sagan has reached my heart as well and we are going to geek out so incredibly hard for this. And NdGT is just the absolute best person alive for this show. That's his official nickname.
  3. Beck — Is that Beck on my blog? Dear god, it is. It really is. This is what happens when I accidentally look at Pitchfork every once and a while. But really, this album is quite wonderful. I've never been a Beck fan, but I am totally into this. Hear for yourself!

                             
  4. Brown Rice Triscuits — And then I also blogged about triscuits. THESE ARE LIFE CHANGING. They are all I want to eat. The sea salt and black pepper variety. With cheese. Do it. 
  5. Clarisonic Mia2 — also life changing. I am finally paying attention to skin that I should've been caring for since basically forever. And thanks to some Christmas gift cards, this little treasure has entered my life. I've only been using it for a week or so, but I love it. And yes, I am aware of what it looks like...
  6. Trader Joe's Lavender Lotion — Fact: I am obsessed with lavender lotion. I always use it at night. So when my last bottle (from the lavender farm an hour away) ran out, I panicked because I knew I would never find anything as lovely again. Enter Trader Joe's and this $5ish bottle. So lovely. So cost-effective. 
Remember that time I included triscuits in a collage? It is truly the little things, my friends. The little things that keep us sane and happy. What are your current obsessions? (non-creepy only, please. I'm looking at you, Higgins...)

  2. True Detectives is my life. I am behind and berating myself. I may have included it in a Dear TV-ish thing today like I miss you and I'll catch up next week. LAME.

    Thanks for the brown rice triscuit info. I hadn't heard anything from anyone on these so I was hesitant to try them. I'll give it a go.

    I'm pleasantly surprised and pleased with Trader Joe's toiletries.

  4. I've heard great things about True Detectives! And I LOVE WOOD(Y HARRELSON). I'ma have to watch that.

    I'm strictly a roasted garlic Triscuits fan (snob face emoji) (if that's a real thing). With whipped chive cream cheese. SO GOOD. SO GOOD. But I will try your brown rice ones, cause I'm nice (re: fat) like that.

  5. Personally I feel Triscuits should be included in MORE collages. I'm off to watch the SATC episode about Samantha's "neck massager."

  6. Triscuts are my weakness. I love them all. But my favorite thing to do is put cream cheese and a bread and butter pickle on em. My mouth is watering just thinking of it.

    If I could buy all the lavender scented things- I would. BRB finally going to go to the Trader Joes here so I can buy that lotion. Don't tell Alissa I'm buying it before her favorite lotion.

    ALSO- that pic of JMeoww had me giggling so hard the other night. And the thought of you laugh crying in the mix kind of made it all the better. Sorry you're stressed about work though.

    P.S. STOP IN SALT LAKE ON YOUR WAY TO BOSTON/MECHANICVILLE.

  7. There are only two more episodes of TD? I started the first episode last week, but got distracted and didn't pick it back up. I will have to watch it all this weekend! I love my MIa. I use it about five times a week. It took a while and some product tweaking, but I think I finally have less breakouts. I need to try that lotion! Can't beat $5! I also have to try the Triscuits.

  8. LOL Meoww. Many bleed! Man I haven't had triscuits in forever. I want them.

  9. My Clarisonic has been a game changer for reals. When I first posted it though someone thought it was a ....toy lol. Oh wells. Sorry you're all losing your minds. I'm sure it will get better. I think something is in the air with the cats though. Last night Jack bit the hell out of me because he didn't like me taking selfies near him.
