The official, amazing, aimless chitchat thread.
So this is where we go to make small talk that doesn't really fit into other threads.
It's the thread with no attention span!
Frequent, arbitrary changes of topic are encouraged. In fact, they are mandatory.
So, I was just thinking, wouldn't it be awesome to have the decor in each room of your house be inspired by a food? Like, I was cutting up eggplant today, making my accidental eggplant chips, and I though, wow, this eggplant looks so pretty against this green plate! I would love to have a room inspired entirely by eggplant colors. And then I thought there could be ones inspired by mangoes and apples and sweet potatoes and pretty much any other pretty food.
Hey, a friend of mine made these really awesome mosaics of all her food pictures based on color. THIS is what I mean:

So, what was I saying?
my friend posted on facebook recently that she got caught by her husband dipping bacon in the brownie batter wtf!??
EEEWWWW!!!
Yo Sarah, have you seen that manly baking stuff at Michaels? I dunno if it's in every store. But I think it's funny. MACHO CAKE DECORATING. MANLY SPRINKLES. TESTOSTERONE-LADEN FONDANT.
I had a guy coming to inspect our house for termites today, and I had it in my head that he was coming around 12, but it turned out he was coming at 9. So he showed up and I was still in my jammies (don't judge! I've been awake since 4:15 thanks to Vincent so I'm not feeling particularly motivated) and the kitchen still had/has a mountain of dirty dishes from yesterday. :-[

Hahaha, what kind are you talking about?! I haven't worked on floor much so I'm not sure. Unless you mean Duff stuff? We have manly crochet now. From "the crochet dude". Haha. That stuff cracks me up.
YES, Duff.
Manly crochet, huh?
I find this all peculiar. It's like they assume manly men will be perusing their aisles anyway, and happen upon manly craft supplies. Maybe I'm crazy, but the Michael's clientele appear to be me + teenage girls + middle-aged women.
Or maybe they think manly things have more cred, or hot guys sell things, and women will buy them.
... It's true about the hot guys, though.
Michaels definitely targets women. In every training video/newsletter/daily game plans they refer to customers as her or she (unless their talking about shoplifters, those are he) IT BUGS ME.
sarah, what do your friends think oil is? o_0

A petroleum byproduct, duh!! That makes it macho!! 8-) :-D
EATING MEAT IS MANLY AND TUFF. EATING VEGGIES AND BEING ARTISTIC ARE NOT. C'MON, LADIES, GET WITH IT.
I need to update my profile picture. It's a couple of years old and I have way more white hair than that now!
Storm, I've had the same profile picture since 2007. I've only changed it once, in 2007. Don't feel bad.
<-------------- This is the way I really look. IRL.
My profile pic is a fairly accurate representation of how I really look.

I bet the termite inspector guy JUDGED THE CRAP OUT OF YOU!!
That happens to me sometimes, too, and I always just assure myself that there's always someone messier than me. Like hoarders. And people with dogs. And hoarders with dogs.

HEY NOW.
ey, I have dogs, and am cleaner than most people I know.
ck, I'm sure she only meant people with smaller dogs. You know, like shih tzus.
No, she meant that cat people are obvs cleaner except me
I've been moving house all day today. I was really hungry (hadn't really eaten all day!), and thought of microwaving some leftovers that I have here - except I haven't moved the utensils yet. And I was like NO MATTER! I will have a clif bar. But I was out. And I saw that new place had a totes-not-vegetarian Thai restaurant menu on the door, and I was like IMMA ORDER SOME FOOD, but then I remembered I'm cheap and it's also totes not vegan friendly. Then I was like YOU KNOW WHAT and ate the quarter of an avocado that was along with the other groceries. It was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten.
I have a dog. And a toddler. I don't think very many people have a messier house than me.
