Sparky asks
Is it ok for me to drink white wine while I’m on the elliptical at my apartment building’s gym?
Lizzie says
White girl problem alert!
I really want to Polyvore my outfit today but the two things I like most about it (sailboat belt, purple suede loafers) are nowhere to be found in their index. Pout.
Sparky says
Why are button down shirts so darned uncomfortable???
Also, now that I own (read: bought and have in my possession) coffee, I no longer want it… Damn.
Can we get lunch, like now?

“I had a strange moment today where I stuck my candy in my ear and my headphone in my mouth.”
Momma said there’d be days like this…
Sparky says
I just love the blonde bombshell so much. She truly lights my life.
Lizzie asks
How many times can I call my live-in boyfriend of five years before becoming a crazy stalker?
Sparky says
When you’re in a committed relationship, you get free rein over the phone calls.
Extra points for leaving frantic voice mails!
Lizzie says
He called me back and didn’t seem weirded out at all.
Lizzie says-Friday inspiration
Hmmm….I feel you. I get so excited about wearing jeans on Friday that I sort of forget to plan the rest of the outfit.
C and I are going to a baseball game (shocking!) tomorrow night so I have to semi-plan for layers. In true Seattle fashion, there is a 40% chance of rain and a high of 63. Though perhaps it will burn off like today.
I think the success of this plan rests on my success in...

Sparky and I have a MAD girl crush on Joy the Baker (twitter: @joythebaker).
I am currently listening to the Joy the Baker podcast. Probably the best decision I’ve made all day. I’m currently knee-deep in Excel and these ladies are fun and goofy.
Oh, and Sparky, one of my BEST friends in the WHOLE world decided NOT to save me a Rice Krispy treat.
Sparky says
Get over your bad...
Sparky sighs again...
I want to be excited for Friday, I really do…
But it means jeans and trying to dress myself. Sigh. I like the idea of being casual, but my execution of it always ends up being skinny jeans, a v neck tee, and a statement necklace. Always.
So I’m looking for pictures and inspiration.
Any ideas?

The Boyfriend, who normally works from home, goes in for a weekly touch base meeting with his boss. Said boss normally brings croissants or other goodies from North Hill Bakery.
I am jealous. That is all.

This warms my heart.

Also, Sparky got promoted to Assistant Floor Warden during her department’s earthquake drill this morning.
Snaps for Sparky.

Facebook Diet Update
After a 40 hour detox, I returned this morning. Other than some very nice comments about my speech on Sunday (NSFW, a good deal of cussing) and lots of love about how good looking everyone was at Monday’s wedding, not much changed.
Apparently, I can live a nice full life without Zee Book.

I’ve put myself on a facebook diet.
First, no facebook for 24 hours. I’m on hour 21.
Second, limit facebook checks to ONCE in the morning and ONCE in the afternoon. I know, pitiful, but that’s the cold reality.
Third, stick it out until July 15. Assess. Learn to love and engage with the world around me.

Sparky is on a date. With a boy. Positive vibes appreciated.
Sparky says
Prepare to be jealous.
The Bombshell Blonde cooked dinner for me last night. (I totally helped by cutting up the peppers!) And so now I have a zip-lock bag full of spaghetti and meatballs. And it’s delicious.
For the record, she lost her Tupperware privileges several weeks ago and in a show of unity I decided to use a bag for my meal as well. Additional bonus, left enough room in my...
