The first leg of our August road trip takes us through Memphis, Jackson, Mississippi, and New Orleans.

Obviously this means I’m already deciding where I want to eat in each of those places.

The company I work for is providing hamburgers and brats (there’s even someone outside grilling them on site) for all employees today. I am not partaking because a cook-out with no beer is too much for my mind to comprehend (LOL NO) but it’s making the grounds smell AMAZING.

Confession: the only time I’ve ever been remotely attracted to Brad Pitt was in Ocean’s 11. (And probably 12 through whatever number they are on now, but I didn’t see any of those.)

The dress I have on today is shorter than I remembered, so I will be spending the rest of my day trying to keep my coworkers from seeing my butt.

This also means I can’t sit Indian-style at my desk, which is absolutely killing me.

Do you think turtles feel like they’ve been abducted by aliens when they’re rescued from the road? I mean, there they are, plodding along, minding their own business, when all of a sudden a giant unfamiliar creature flies them to a completely new environment.

These are the things I think about on a slow day at work.

See what I mean about a photo black hole?

Sorry, I’ll stop now. But it’s been a fun and hilarious couple of hours living in the past.

Wishing my Left Arm the most FABULOUS birthday!

(I just got sucked in to a black hole of photos/memories. Prepare yourselves.)

Even when I used to spend Spring Breaks in places like Cancun, I’ve never thought a foam party sounded or looked fun.

So am I a fun hater, or just…right?

I got fake mad at a coworker once because he walked in with Taco Bell and didn’t bring me anything. So now every time he goes, he gets me a bean burrito, no onions.

I don’t hate it.

Yet another reason why I need to stalk Anna Kendrick and make her be best friends with me.

Along with Jennifer Lawrence (sorry, still not on board with “J-Law”) and Mila Kunis, of course.

I have agreed to a 10 day road trip with my family in August.

I must have finally lost my mind.

Can’t stop, won’t stop.

PSA

It isn’t wise to rub your eye after picking a giant carrot out of your “authentic Thai hot” Paht Nam Hoy.

It does not feel good.

It stormed practically all night Sunday.

I realized when I got in my car this morning that I had left my sunroof open all weekend.

So that was fun.
