What's your favorite clothing store for you? For Eleanor? Is your husband stylish or did you have to fix him?
Hmmm me?? When was the last time I got to go shopping?! I used to love BCBG if I was going somewhere fancy. Anthropologie and Loft for the rest of my life. White House Black Market before they got colorful. Now I'm really digging flat boots (as opposed to the taller boots of my youth), levis, and Old Man and the Sea type sweaters, capes, berets (not joking.) Obviously my life is a perpetual Autumn.
Eleanor: If I had unlimited funding she would shop at Janie and Jack... I like DKNY's baby stuff a lot also.
I have to fix my husband Every. Frigging. Day. Though he thinks he's quite dapper in his old navy vintage v-necks.
Favorite quote, T.S. Eliot, The Four Quartets, Burnt Norton:
Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden. My words echo
Thus, in your mind.
How do you keep your car? Does it look like something exploded in there or is it neat and tidy or something in between?
What do you like to keep in your BubbaJug?
Random order indeed!
My car is a disaster. I would really like it to not be, but it just is. Binkys and hair bows and shoes and sippy cups...And then all of Eleanor's crap. Bert cleans it out every couple of months though, when he really can't stand it anymore. It is currently immaculate.
Hmmm...is bumpy cake ice cream only available in Eastern Michigan?
I ask because when we were in Saugatuck/Holland over Mother's Day weekend the teen boy cashier and grocery bagger looked at me like I had a second and third head when I asked if they had bumpy cake. Never had heard of it, and then gave me shit for abandoning my home state (dude, my parents moved when I was 2.5, didn't have much say in the matter). But they were cute and friendly otherwise. Wait, where was I, yes the bumpy cake and bumpy cake ice cream are super regional thing, then?
Yes, Bumpy Cake is super regional. And super phenomenal. Sanders is a local candy company that specializes in chocolates, fudges, cakes, ice creams, etc... And it's TO DIE FOR. They have a salted caramel that will have you considering divorce if your husband even thinks about eating any of yours.
Bumpy Cake Ice Cream is one of the best things that has ever happened to me.
Edit: Spelling of Sander's... It's pronounced Saunders though. So that's dumb.
Most embarrassing thing you have ever done while inibriated?
How are you liking your new gig?

Still haven't heard... They did say they would let him know either way so... I have no idea.
Ugh... I'm sure there are worse that I've done, but the first one that came to mind is my sophomore year in college I had gotten home from the studio late and my friends were already way ahead of me and I needed to catch up quick before we all went out (being underage and all)... So I opened my throat and downed half a fifth of Absolut. The only thing I had eaten that day was Red Vines... I was drunk before we hit the hallway. I pulled an Elf in the elevator (pushed all the buttons), danced all the way to the frat house, projectile vomited on the sidewalk (splattering redvines), tried to lay down and sleep under a tree. Got sent hom by my friends with some random dude.Puked my guts out in front of my dorm for like, an hour (this guy was a real trooper) went upstairs, refused to let him even help me take my shoes off, I threw a coffee cup at his head, he put me in bed and I woke up like 18 hours later (still completely clothed, with shoes). He was on my futon. Making sure I didn't die.
Mortifying.
I like the new job a lot! It's seeming to be a really good fit!
