Tuesday Things.
1. Today is my brother Will’s birthday! One time he did a post on my blog like four days after I started blogging. You liked him more than me. True story.
2. ‘Tis the season to shop all day and then find yourself ravenous with the only hope being a measly old granola bar in your bag that can be described as tasting like one thing: purse. If you’re anything like me, bars hide in your bag for months and months and then your forget about them and then BAM! you need eat. See? That’s what they are there for. If I could describe the taste of purse, I would have to say it tastes like a cross between loose metallic change, leaky lip smackers and dusty, mealy tissues.
3. ‘Tis the season to also put the freaking air conditioning on in your car. Does anyone else but me have to do this? It’s freezing outside, so I bundle up. I drive to the store. I’m a maniac so I rush rush rush or shop for six hours, then I get in the car and feel like I’m going to DIE because I’m wearing 800 layers of puffy fluffy down feathers. Instead of taking off my coat I blast the AC on high. It works.
4. Remember a few months ago when I showed you a picture of my friend’s baby who makes the BEST FACES EVER? Yeah, well here’s another one.
Seriously. I KNOW. He isn’t even one year old yet. Don’t you just want to eat him up? I know you do!
I have no idea what is going on there but I am freaking obsessed with whatever it is. Can’t.stop.laughing.
5. Since I’m such a sucker for any and all beauty products, I almost passed out when Winnie posted this homemade CHOCOLATE MINT sugar scrub. Yes my friends. I’ll say it again: CHOCOLATE MINT. Oh em geeee. Merry Christmas to me.
6. My husband told me this weekend that we “had no food in this joint.” I then spent an hour at the grocery store and came home with three different kinds of lunch meat, two of these weirdo beef stick things, five (yeah five) various bags of chips, crackers, granola bars, tons of cheese, some gross pre-made BBQ chicken, bread, buns, yogurt and ice cream. Then on Sunday night he screamed at me, “WHY can’t we just have any REAL food for dinner.”
What?
7. Probably because there was no food in this joint, this seriously happened last night. I know.
8. Can somebody get me earplugs for Christmas? I’d really like them right about now.

OH MY GOSH I was laughing out loud at the adorable baby. Hilarious!!! Also, your husband sounds like my husband. Have fun with that!: )
That baby is gonna be famous one day. Mark.my.words.
Om my gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That baby is adorable! I was laughing out loud in my cube, got a few stares! Happy Birthday to your brother!
Best. photo. ever.
what were the cookies doing in the trash anyway?!
I thought that as well!!! Cookies, in the bin?! WHYYYY?! :( Haha
Ha, they were stragglers, some realllllly dry and stale leftovers from cookies I made last week. Sunday night he said “I’m not eating any more of those!” then came home last night and was like, “uh, where are the cookies? I need a cookie.”
I’m dying at that kid. Holy moly, the cuteness.
Hahaha aww that pic of the baby is too cute and so bloody funny!! And haha to your man eating cookies out of the bin, had to be a baaadddd day to resort to that! :/
That picture is the best thing I’ve ever seen! How does one’s face even contort like that!!?
that baby is killing me, literally. i can’t stop laughing at that awesome face!
You’re right – your brother’s post IS HILARIOUS!!! But I wouldn’t say I love it any more than yours ;)
That picture is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day and I so needed that laugh. Thank you.
Bahahahahahahahahaha!!! Your brother’s post was hilarious! Your awesomeness is clearly genetic.
“My husband told me this weekend that we “had no food in this joint.” ” <—I imagine your house as one of those houses where a creative type could probably manage meals for at least 3 months without going to the groc store just based off blog swag, blogging food, both that you make for the blog or have leftovers of, cupboards, freezer, drawer stashes, etc…I am laughing b/c I could totally hear him saying this.
But I will say when Scott met me and he opened my fridge and my cupboards I had: money, vodka, triscuits, PB. <– In that order/quantity in my kitchen. Memories.
Happy birthday to your bro!!! Your husband is hilarious!!
I get hot in the car quite fast, too. But the sad part is, it’s not really that cold here yet. Boooo. I miss east coast weather during the holidays!
Um, speaking of hot, can we talk about how I was on your blog for a good hour last night and the hot thing is YOU! Holy crap. You are stunning.
oh my goodness! thank you! blushing….
Bahaha! :) Husbands make life SO interesting! ….HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your brother!!!!! :)
Lmfao to each one of those things. And I had to eat my purse granola bar yesterday. It was supposed to be oatmeal raisin, but really, it tasted just how you described it — “loose change, leaky lip smackers, and dusty tissues”. I immediately regretted consuming it lol.
Is your husband my husbands long lost twin? Seriously I cook good ass food and bake out my ying yang and he’ll stand in front of the fridge door with the light blinding him for 10 minutes while he complains that I need to go grocery shopping becuase there is nothing for him to eat. SO ANNOYING!
Your husband is too much. Sometimes these men don’t realize how lucky they are. I will trade you for my boyfriend any day. :) Let’s swap.
Maybe next time when your husband mentions there is no food in the house, whether real food or not, perhaps you can do him a favour and give him directions to the nearest supermarket (hopefully not one that goes past a garbage dump:) Just kidding.
oh my goodness i am DYING at that picture!!! pretty sure my co-workers think i’m crazy right now, laughing hysterically at my desk.
Your brother cracked me up! And the baby pic is so funny!
OMG that baby picture is making me seriously almost pee my pants! I thought at first that it had to be photo shopped! hahahaha
i threw cookies away once. marshall made me get them out for him to eat. i know how you feel. and that photo is PRICELESS. send it into some christmas competition. or something.
happy birthday to your brother! i just read his post & it was hilarious! i bet your family get-togethers are hilarious! speaking of hilarious, i have not stopped laughing at that picture! haha those faces!!! sooo funny!
i totally have the same problem with the jackets and getting too hot… dadgum layers!! and matt drives me crazy with his “we have no food” nonsense. husbands…
oh, oh… if you need earplugs, you must try these: http://www.macksearplugs.com/details/sleeping-earplugs/pillow-soft-earplugs-6-pair-value i just bought mine yesterday because apparently big foot lives above us & they were awesome
That baby is too stinkin’ cute! And I wish I had to blast my AC in my car because I was dressed in layers and running around like a mad woman, but alas I blast my AC in my house and car only because we have had temps in the upper 60’s and low 70’s lately and I desperately want to wear my winter sweaters because it is December and the AC is the only way to make that possible!
AHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
I just died.
AHAHAHAHAHAHA. The picture of that baby is PHENOMENAL!
Best baby picture ever!
TOO STINKING CUTE! Seriously, that needed all caps.
Bahahahahahahaha – OMG – that baby!!!!!!! LOVE!
I haven’t looked forward to something as much as your Tuesday posts since Gilmore Girls was still on air. Love Tuesday Things! That kid is adorable. I hope my future (VERY future) kid is just as awesome.
My ovaries just flipped me off and shut the F down.
THAT. BABY.
lol! that baby is going to have the best collection of photos to choose for his baby photo in his high school yearbook ;)
Pretty sure that baby should be his own meme. That picture right there. It should be used to convey all expressions of “sh*ts goin’ down and its craaaazaaaay!” Love it!
I know that purse-tasting granola bar issue all too well. It’s a necessary evil. And your ability to identify what it tastes like is uncanny. No wonder you’re such an esteemed member of the food community. I could only ever describe it as old and crusty tasting.
I am so obsessed with those faces. So cute!
This post cracked me up!! Love loved Will’s past post & send him a Happy Birthday!! I could not stop laughing @ baby photo. Wishing you & your family a Merry Christmas!
okay I cannot get over that baby face. oh. my. gosh.
The cookies in the garbage thing made me lol. It’s like George on Seinfeld, when he took the eclair from the trash can… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKC5jjFkfgo
I am dying here. You’re hilarious. And that baby!!! Also? Many, MANY thanks for including my chocolate mint sugar scrub on this awesome list :)
Tooo funny! That kid is HILARIOUS.
That baby is ADORABLE!!
That is the most hilarious kid I have ever seen!!
Happy Birthday to ur Bro-ski Woski! U n ur hubs are too funny!
today i was standing in the most ENORMOUS line, ordering a sandwich and this list kept me sane.
they put mayo on my sandwich when i asked them to hold it.
they did it again after i sent it back.
at least i had this to read….and that FB status made me snort.
Your convo with your hubby made me laugh. I’m sure it’s past the point of funny to you, but I can see myself getting in one of those arguments in the future :).
Lol, I so know where your coming from in reference to turning the air on in your car! It gets hot shopping! I hate is when I take all my layers off before I get out of the car, so you don”t get hot while shopping, but you still get the sweat thing going on and then you go outside and your freezing as hell because your sweat turns to ice!
Your bro is hu-sterical!!!! And I am an MRI tech so I have access to an abundance of ear plugs!!!!
Happy Birthday Will!
and although you’re a hockey fan you’re rooting for the wrong team, Go Devils!
and that baby is hil-ar-ious
will is hilarious. also that baby is the most adorable thing ever.
I seriously laughed throughout this entire post! okay, not like that is unusual, but still. That picture, omg. SO funny.
Hey, my birthday was yesterday too!! December 13th was a good day to be born. :) And that baby is a crack-up! Too cute. And you are very funny too. :-D
