Black Uterus Undies, oh ya baby
Nothing sets the mood like black uterus undies (only available in XL, sorry petite anatomy-lovin ladies!).
I can just see it playing out. The moment of truth has arrived, and...
"what the---is that a uterus?? and...and ovaries?"
"AND a cervix sweetheart."

people and travel
Lots of travel going on the past week. I was Montana for work, then in Solitude, Utah for a 4day anniversary weekend.
Lots of travel. Lots of people watching.
On my plane from Billings to Denver, I sat next to an older, retired gentleman. He was on a two-week fishing vacation with his brother-in-law. They had been through Yellowstone National Park and all over Montana in their travels. They hit an elk going 60 mph at nighttime and totaled their rented Ford Escape. They vetoed a 6-hour fishing trip in 20-degree weather. And they stayed away from driving in the snow because they were from Florida and "wouldn't know two ways about nothing" when it came to driving in the snow. As we got close to landing, the man leaned over to me, smiling with all his years and said "I just loved it. Fishing in Montana was on my bucket list." And that was that.
Our flight out of Billings was a little late. They only had a 20 minute layover and had to hustle (to the best of their ability), fishing poles in hand, from gate 87 to gate 14. A long way for anyone. I like to think they made it. In fact, I know they did.

a good grammar moment!
So the Albertsons by my place is being renovated. This means that the express aisle has no actual sign, just a paper posted one. Which a renegade grammar lover (not unlike myself) took the liberty to edit.
It's hard to see but "less" is crossed out and "fewer" is written above it. AMAZING!
For those who don't know:
"less" is used for quantities that CANNOT be counted.
ie: use LESS sugar. there is LESS water in the tub.
"fewer" is used for quantities that CAN be counted.
ie: there are FEWER cookies. FEWER than 15 items.
My goodness I got way too excited when I saw that someone else proudly fixed a flawed sign. If only they could somehow edit that darned chipotle billboard.

relationships are hard
with family. with lovers. with friends.
relationships are hard.
because with family, you can't always tell them what you really think. you have to accept them. there are just certain things that don't get voiced. but, because it's family, those things are generally understood without saying a thing.
because with lovers, depending on where you are in the romance, you're always wondering where it's going. you're always thinking about the future and measuring up a potential partner. whether it's sizing them up for a lifetime of love, or just for a night of fun. judgment is there.
because with friends, communication isn't needed really. you catch up when you can and that's that. and with friends, you get more honesty than anywhere else. and honesty isn't always fun. friends leave you for family, for lovers. friends come and go. friends are unpredictable.
ya, relationships are hard.
but they are totally worth it.
because with family, they'll accept you no matter what. they'll pick you up when you're at lowest. and support you through your mistakes.
because with lovers, i mean shoot. you'll build a life. a family. if you can see through all the second-guessing. plus you get sex. bonus!
because with friends, you laugh hardest, cry hardest, drink hardest, bond hardest. friends are where it's at. and you can be friends with lovers and family. every relationship starts with a friendship.
to sum up: i need more friends.

the way i see it
- using a billboard to promote an online marketing scheme is ironically backwards to me.
- this burglar is a fool. but i want to know the joke.
- sporting a pink unicorn fanny packs is the best way to embrace my hate of pink and love of boobs, while walking 60 miles for the Komen foundation.
- grad school is not too far off. tra-la-la.
- i could listen to this song on loop for hours. easily in my top ten. easily.
- Murphy's law is just a way to sum up all the things we lose control of in our lives. a bundled excuse, wrapped up as an adage.
- only about 3 people read this blog. i'm beginning to wonder what the point is.
- starting everything with "the way i see it" (like on Starbucks' cups), while really redundant, makes you feel much more wise. much.
...at least that's the way i see it.
