Oh, HelloGiggles!

HelloGiggles is awesome.  Like, super awesome.  This is what they're about:

 Founded by actress/musician Zooey Deschanel, producer Sophia Rossi and writer/Internet Sensation Molly

McAleer, hellogiggles.com is the ultimate entertainment destination for smart, independent and creative females. Everything hosted on the site will be lady-friendly, so visitors need not worry about finding the standard Boys Club content that makes many entertainment sites unappealing to so many of us.

I mean, who doesn't love literally everything Zooey Deschanel does?  I know I do.  The girl could vomit scorpions and I would think its cute.  Go there and be ready to laugh (ummm....or giggle).

I've been through the desert

I was in the desert for the first time in my life yesterday.  The Valley of Fire, to be more specific.  While I sweated my lady-parts-equivalent-to-balls off, I have to admit, it was quite an adventure.

Here is me getting ready to touch a cactus.  First I had to make sure I wasn't stepping on any scorpions or snakes.

And finally, the proud moment.  My very first cactus touching experience.  You can tell how excited I was by the look on my face.  Sheer exciting excited excitement.

{ penelope days }

Most days my sassy Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Penelope, follows me around the house whining that she wants to go for a ride, or outside, or for a walk, or to play catch, or SOMETHING.  This girl is a whore for attention.  But this morning has been so peaceful because, for once, Penelope is actually tired.  I took this picture to document the occasion. 

And yes, that is a balled up pair of my socks she's napping with.  She steals them from my laundry basket when I'm not looking.  Silly puppy.

This is where we found our tortoise, Magic Johnson, the other day.  She’s just chillin’ puppy style in Penelope’s dog bed.  She may basically carry a fifteen pound rock on her back, but she’s still a creature of comfort.

{ gonna look like a smarty pants }

I just bought a pair of glasses from Warby Parker.  Man, do they know how to make glasses buying an adventure.  I love their home try-on program. I got to pick out five pairs of glasses to have delivered to my home for free!  I chose the Wiloughby frame in striped chestnut, because they are cute without looking too hipster-ish.  Whaddaya think?

also, if you care about helping other people, you might be interested in the fact that for every pair of glasses you buy, warby parker donates a pair to someone in need.  

Also, if you like being loved, you'll appreciate the sweet messages they email you.  Take this one, for instance:

Thank you. We love you, Katie. We really do.

I don't mean to come off as an advertisement for this company.  I'm just a fan tellin' ya how much I like their product.

{ i want to meet... }

...Peter Pan.  If a strange boy ever flies into my bedroom window, I'll probably just go with him.

Shoot, I should probably go take my screen out right now, just in case.

{ unemployed. womp womp }

Being unemployed is weird. And kinda fantastic. I'm trying to not let myself get used to this.

There are only 3 things in life I am good at: Plucking my eyebrows, Dr. Mario, and snapping. How can I capitalize on these skills...
