Horray, guys, it’s Friday! Thanks for hanging out and putting up with me today. Only one minor snafu, that’s not too shabby. And I think I got through the day without directly mentioning 1D (to you guys), so that’s a relief to everyone, I’m sure!
So what’s everyone up to this weekend? Dancing, obvi, but besides dancing? I’m going to eat some chili, do laundry, make cookies, and then receive delivery of a bed tomorrow morning, and after that WHO KNOWS?
Hahaha, I’m a jerk. See you Monday!
Sneaky throwing all those One Directioners beneath the jump like that. Classic Flanny move.
v. spoopy.
Delivery of a bed!! That is the best!!
I am going to a wedding tomorrow and I’m still not sure what to wear! I have a grey dress that is sort of like a Jestons-y tuxedo with a little boob window? It is very flattering, but only if I don’t eat and drink my way into a bloat-pregnancy, and that is not a promise I can make because this is an Italian wedding with an open bar and a buffet. But for the first 3 hours or so of the night, I will look FANTASTIC. My other two options are sort of off-white and black, and you aren’t supposed to wear either of those colours to a wedding! And the black one has the same problem with being very fitted and therefore potentially disastrous. The off-white is more forgiving, but I will very likely be drinking all of the red wine that is placed within my grasp, so I don’t know how clever that one will be. My tights are bright teal and my shoes are grey and vintagey with straps. What do I dooooooo!!!
You can wear black to weddings now! It’s officially a thing! Also, if the grey shoes work with the grey dress and you have teal thights, I would go with the grey dress.
No one has ever needed Cher’s electronic computer closet more than you at this moment. I say go grey! Boob window is always good for making friends.
Here’s the thing. You’re going to look great for the first three hours, and the guy who will fall in love with you at the wedding will see you first during those first three hours and then gaze lovingly at you for the rest of the night, during which he will also get increasingly drunk! And his beer goggles go on and his love will already be there so even if you’re a hot mess, he’ll be one too and will be seeing original hot Jetsons you.
For reference:

The longest image ever posted, maybe?
Did you just draw this? AMAZING.
I don’t want to brag too hard, but my first degree was in fine arts đŸ˜‰
Me too! Art nerds unite!
I’m going to make a new dessert: salted caramel apple pie bars. I will let you know how it goes!! I might also be doing something SPOOOOOKY Saturday night.
I’d like to get in on the spoOooOky thing if that’s okay? You can email me at brainofjane@pobox.com. Thx!
No problem!!! I’m verity1014@gmail.com, fyi. . .
I’m gonna send the two of you so much spam. #evilplanlaugh
So much Sota porn…
I’m making an apple cake tomorrow with rum in it. Hurray for apple-based baked goods.
It’s just that time of year. I need cinnamon, sugar, and apples in my tummy!
I might also make gingerbread, because I also need that in my tummy.
I traded shifts with a coworker today so I have to work until 8:15. Which is weird! But it will be nice when the office is empty for the last few hours. Tomorrow after my class I’m going to my sister’s to help her with the baby since her husband is, for the second weekend in a row, leaving her by herself to go to a social function. And then on Sunday I am possibly going to see Gone Girl with my mom, which is what she said she wanted to do for her birthday.
Also thinking about seeing Gone Girl this weekend. It’s not like me to see a movie before it’s on Netflix! I’m growing as a person!
Ooh, there are at least two other Monsters who are seeing it either this weekend or Monday night! I can’t wait to talk about it with you guuuuuuuuys.
Now I might have to see it instead of seeing Guardians for the 3rd time.
I wasn’t planning to go to it…but maybe I should!
My birthday is this weekend, so I will spend the weekend being old.
Happy Birthday!!!
Happy (10 days earlier than mine) birthday!! LIBRAS FOR THE WIN!!!
Woah there, don’t dance too crazy old man.
I just need to show you guys this. Yesterday was my one year anniversary at work (yay!) and my coworkers made me this epic ice cream cookie sandwich to celebrate. They know me so well. It is literally the size of my head. Each of those cookies is about the size of a plate. 3 flavors of cookies, 3 flavors of ice cream layers and a giant brownie on top. They used a knife through the whole thing like a toothpick to hold it together. It was delicious! BEHOLD…
What are the different ice creams?
Salted caramel, mint chocolate chip, creme fraiche (i think?!). Cookies are Oatmeal butterscotch, Oatmeal Chocolate chip, m&m Monster cookie. Yummmm. I couldn’t finish the whole thing.
Love me some monster cookies. YUMMM, and congrats on your anniversary!!!
I want this in my mouth.
I am going to not one, but two geek-themed bars tonight! Hurray, I’m a nerd. Then tomorrow is a clothing swap, which means baked goods and day-drinking. I’m excited everyone.
