Tuesday Things.
1. I panicked on the way to our weekend trip that I forgot my sunglasses. Only to realize that they were ON MY FACE.
2. Definitely trying this strawberry cheesecake granola bowl.
3. There is a constant stream of story in my head – all the time. Eddie does not have it in his head. Do you?!
4. I tried the pineapple refresher drink thing and not only does it look like there is popcorn floating in the drink (I think it’s dried pineapple?), it tastes like the craziest fakest pineapple I’ve ever tasted. I wanted to love it.
5. Yesterday when I shared my crab dip on instagram, I called it crap dip. And I didn’t even realize it for hours. And when I posted it, many of you said you didn’t notice either. The internet has truly ruined us!
6. I know everywhere is wild with prime day. But it reminded me of my amazon shop which is actually very helpful (like, helpful to me, myself) because it has my book lists, baby and kid favorite, school, home, kitchen favorites, etc. Prime day faves are right here.
7. TV things! Thought about watching the Girl In The Picture on Netflix but I loathe all things scary and terrifying so… it’s a nope for me. I did watch Hello, Goodbye and Everything In Between. Cute.
8. Tackling a mountain of tasks. I love these tips.
9. How old do you really feel? I think I still feel 27 at the oldest.

#5 – “ And I didn’t even realize it for house.” Did you mean to write “hours”? I thought this was hysterical, especially as you were just explaining about “Crap” dip!!!
LOL YES!!! my brain. i swear that i proofread everything i write at least twice… but since i’ve written it, i can’t see it. HA!
When you’re proofreading, try reading it out loud exactly as written. That’s how I taught my kids to write and it’s amazing how much it helps.
i was actually surprised when i read an article a year or two ago – there are people in this world that have no internal dialogue… i think i read it’s estimated about 10% of people have no idea what this is. others have a constant stream. it makes for some interesting conversations.
same! that’s what i thought of too!
Same!! My husband also lacks it and I just always lament how relaxing it must be 😂
Ha! There’s something about that particular title because when I first saw it I thought it read Holy Crab dip. I didn’t notice the crap :)
I always have a story going in my head…sometimes two if I’m particularly stressed out. I think it’s a coping mechanism, a release valve, and a way to give free-floating anxiety some kind of context.
Okay, totally agree about the pineapple drink! It was gross but I wanted to like it. And yeah, what the heck is floating in it???? Definitely looked like popcorn! Please please please watch Girl in the Picture!! As a lover of crime documentaries, I can say that it wasn’t scary or gory, just super intriguing and mind blowing.
Yes to the constant dialogue/story going in on in my brain! All the time! And sometimes out loud but usually I can contain it, ha.
Also #10 – my husband and I were just talking about this! I feel like I am about 28-30 and so is everyone else. And then I realize…. nope. Now I am the old person the barista just called “ma’am”. UGH
I tried the pineapple refresher and thought it was fine – but it was recommended to try it with coconut milk (like the equivalent of the Pink Drink) so I *guess* I’ll have to try that too. Did you know you get a half off drink every Tuesday in July??
I’m to totally still in my late twenties – it blows myMind talking to recent grads at my job, like how do you not know *NSYNC?!
Yes to the constant story going on. If only I could send it from brain to page telepathically sometimes.
We watched “Girl in the Picture” on Netflix (and the odd coincidence is that I actually started the book on her the day before–I recognized the photos from the photo insert in the book) and it’s really scary. My boyfriend and I are both big true crime fans and we agreed that was one of the scariest documentaries we have seen in a long time (and we watch stuff like that all the time). We were actually a bit disturbed by it but totally worth it!
LOL I definitely used to have a constant stream of thoughts aka a story in my head, but I mustve grown out of it or something as I swear I havent had it for years!! Reading this bought it all back and I was all I used to have that and think it was only me on the planet who was constantly living/writing a story in their mind! I’m not sure what happened. I used to enjoy it and think it was because I loved English…. 😏
I didn’t like the girl in the picture. Too gross. (not gory, just despicable sexual violence)
Also the crab dip is so good it could be called Holy Crap dip. HA!
Girl in the Picture was so good but extremely disturbing. Just hold your babies tight.
