Tuesday Things.
1. I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought the line in T-Swift’s Blank Space was “starbucks lovers.” Um, apparently like everyone else did too?
2. Chocolate peanut butter mousse pie. GIVE ME.
3. Thoughts on pantone’s color for 2015? At first I was like ohhhhh no (I mean, hello, I’m much more of a radiant orchid girl, no?) but then I saw some ads sephora did and fell in LOVE with it.
4. I somehow started to get the Frontgate catalog (do they send it out to everybody who moves?) and now every single night I stare at it and want to order like five over-the-top christmas trees. And topiaries. And things with lights that don’t even need lights but cost five million dollars.
5. Christmas shopping: love it hate it? I totally ADORE it. I love the insane hustle and bustle. And yes, I’ve worked retail during the holiday season and while it’s nuts, I love that too! I never ever ever shop this early. But over the weekend I was mistaken for a Macy’s employee twice (uh, apparently a very pregnant Macy’s employee) mostly likely because my all black attire and well… people were not very nice. It’s like grinch mode out there.
6. With that being said, I’m sort of having a difficult time getting into the Christmas spirit, maybe because of this impending arrival. I feel like I need to cover myself in tinsel and blast some Amy Grant.
7. I already have EXTREME anxiety for the SOA finale tonight. I just wish it didn’t have to end. I really liked last week’s episode, was a bit shocked at some of the events, but must also say that I found some of them… anticlimactic? I know there are spoilers out there for tonight but I refuse to look. Um, I am firmly back on the Homeland train and sort of love that these last few episodes will seem to focus on Quinn? And The Affair! GAH! I have sooo many predictions but I’m thinking they will end the season in a major cliffhanger since it was renewed. I’m not sure how much Eddie loves me staring at the screen wailing “Pacey is the most perfect man!”
8. 30 things I don’t have time for. Oh man. So many of these YES.
9. I just ate gummy bears for lunch. Whatever.

Starbucks lovers for life! I totally thought this, and all of my roommates made fun of my for it. SO THERE ROOMIES.
Wait….so you’re saying it’s NOT Starbucks lovers? What is it then?
“got a long list of ex-lovers” haha i totally thought it was sbux lovers, too!
Me too!
“got a long list of ex-lovers’ doesn’t sound anywhere near as good. I’m still going to sing Starbucks lovers . . .
Gummy Bears for lunch — YES!
it’s taking me forever to get into the spirit too .. I’ve done tons of baking, and some shopping but … I just mehh … I feel like I still have time … except I don’t.
And the panatone colour of the year .. LOVE IT!! I’m kind of surprised, by how dark it is … but I love it. ANd it’s so perfect for winter .. soo winning!!
number One… totally belting out starbucks lovers, and number 8, I don’t have time for any of them.
You need this t-shirt- http://www.zazzle.com/cupcakes_caffeine_sprinkles_and_blogs_t_shirt-235149002134578923
I just moved and yep – Frontgate. I started getting it before I updated my address but somehow they knew…
I LOVE buying Christmas gifts and think people that are all Grinch-y in the stores are annoying. Geez, people. If you don’t like it, make your life easier by online shopping or buying gift cards or, better yet, try out some holiday spirit. You may actually enjoy it if you focus on the good stuff. All that said, some people are just Grinch-y in general. What a not-fun way to live. I choose the Whoville way!!
Yes, two of the three deaths were like ‘meh, you could see that one coming.’ The big one was also very anti-climatic. I can’t wait to see how it ends tonight and I hope it leaves us all satisfied.
OMG SOA! I cannot wait. Seriously. Can. Not. Wait. And Homeland on Sunday had me on the edge of my seat the entire time!!!!
hahahahahaha i thought it was Starbucks Loves at first too and didn’t know anyone else thought the same thing so you gave me a good laugh when I read #1 !!!! :) :) :)
Homeland! OMG OMG. I swear I have been screaming and crying during the last 3 episodes! Omg its so much tension that I can’t take it. SO so good. And I am drooling all over Quinn. Gahhh. He’s such a badass!
And the Affair! I keep calling his wife Abby. Can’t help it. And I just can’t help but love Pacey so much in it. No, I can’t move on from the 90’s. It’s so good. I hate having to wait a full week for episodes. Impatient to the tenth degree.
Haha, me and my sister totally thought the same about Starbucks lovers!
I’m so sad for SOA to end as well and usually can’t stay up late enough to watch it on Tuesdays but tonight I am making an exception.
As far as The Affair goes I am torn. Part of me is extremely intrigued but I’m also extremely confused by it all.
I had the same reason when I saw the announcement about Pantone’s color for 2015. I was not feeling it at all. But then I happened to catch a advert on a makeup bloggers instagram and I think I’m swayed to the other side.
wait it’s not starbucks lovers? good thing nobody heard me singing in the car…
Thank goodness I wasn’t the only one belting out “starbucks lovers” while my husband laughed like a 3 yr. old haha!
Wait! What?! It’s not Starbucks Lovers? What the heck…
haha i had cheesecake for lunch, so nutritional! and love that ’30 things’ article. :D
xo, cheyenne
I totally love all 3 Amy Grant Christmas CDs. Not gonna lie. And Michael W. Smith’s 3 albums are UNBELIEVABLE. Christian Christmas music is some of my fave!
I almost bought a $300 sparkly gold tinsel tree last week online, and I’m still mulling it over, honestly. I really might do it. The preposterously expensive decorations always get me. Maybe because all of it is glittery and metallic??
Cannot believe that it’s NOT “something something Starbucks lovers”! This is life changing. Had to go look up the lyrics although one imagines I will continue to sing the wrong words, if only to stand by what I thought to be true! Chuffing Taylor. E-nun-ci-ate!
Love xxx
I LOVE Xmas shopping. I actually have issues in those regards. I never have trouble finding gifts from people and you will never get a gift card from me either. However, my problem is learning when to say that you’re officially done buying stuff for people. No matter what store I’m in, I can always find something perfect for someone up until the last minute and spend way more money than necessary.
#1 just made my day! I sang the song that way for days before finally looking it up and feeling like an idiot! Now i know I’m not alone!
I always feel like it’s Christmas as soon as I hear Amy Grant’s Christmas album too. Funny, I thought I was the ONLY one that still listened to that!
I love Christmas and all things that come along with it except the shopping. Or more so the mall. I pretty much order everything on line. I swear we get a delivery a day in December from UPS.
It’s NOT starbucks lovers?! Crap. Now I have to google it. ;)
I’m so glad I’m not the only one! I refuse to sing anything other than Starbucks lovers however because that’s way funnier. I also think that the chorus of “Fancy” should be changed to “can’t you taste this scone?” Rather than “taste this gold” because scones are fancy. And delicious.
Number 9: amazing.
I’ll still sing Starbucks lovers along with my two-year-old. Also, love that pantone color. I see pretty pedis in my future!
. I thought I was the only one hearing “starbucks lovers”!. I feel so much better now….and Boo on the new Pantone color… Not great for me… I dread going to the mall at Christmas. Or even into my small town The parking is insane.
Love the pantone color – it’s pretty much the same color I painted my bedroom walls a few years ago so nice to see it get some recognition!
SOA. Cannot believe its overrrr. No more Teller, no more anxiety, no more creeped out by Abel… but this is also spurring me to strongly considering returning Christmas presents in favor of buying the entire 7 seasons on DVD. Totally teared up during the final song, while simultaneously screaming “DON’T DO IT JAX” at the TV. Still in recovery mode today.
I’ve been belting out “Starbucks Lovers” for days! Haha
Here’s the thing about radiant orchid…It’s a pretty color but I have to tell you, whenever I developed any product (at least in apparel) that was in that color range?…never a good seller. This new color? Probably prettiest in apparel in fabrics with texture or shine, but a definite winner for me in cosmetics…It’s one of my perfect lipstick colors…so I’m in!
WHAT is it if not starbucks lovers?!?!
Amy Grant, yes! I love her Christmas music and it has been a staple for me since I was like 6.
I just read the comments in order to learn what the real words are! I was sure it couldn’t be starbucks lovers but I could not figure out what it actually was!
So I started reading the 30 Things I Don’t Have Time for (So much Yes!) but I got to number 8 and have to ask, do people really only use a bath towel once and then wash it? That’s a thing people do?
You mean the words aren’t “Starbucks lovers”?! lol. I had to look up the lyrics, and I still can’t hear “got a long list of ex-lovers”!
On a side note! I just flipped through the new Costco cookbook, which had been on back order, and I saw your Summertime Chopped Salad recipe. And I got sooo excited! lol
In case you haven’t seen this yet, someone made this account just to favorite every mention of “lonely Starbucks lovers”: https://twitter.com/lonelysbuxlover. :)
Went through the same thing last Christmas (my baby will be one on the 20th). It’s like you have way too much to think about for it to be Christmas too! But it turns out the best when all you are thinking about is your new little family on Christmas day!
I loved radiant orchid much better, but I like the warm tone of the new color of the year. As for Christmas shopping, I am not a fan. Crowds give me anxiety and I love online shopping better. :-)
It was TOTALLY “Starbucks lovers”….until it wasn’t. SO embarrassing!
I swore it was Starbucks lovers. Finally last week I looked up the lyrics and was shocked. Regardless, I am still singing it as Starbucks Lovers. HAHA! Oh Pacey, Pacey, Pacey! He was the best part of The Affair. His beard, his shirtless-ness. I can’t wait for it to return.
