A Glimpse Into the Future

It is 12:25 am CST. I am watching Monk with my Grandmother. She is on her 4th glass of wine (with ice) and eating Chex Mix. The volume is 20 notches too loud and subtitles are in full action. Earlier she asked me if I lived in a bed and breakfast. This is so going to be me in 45 years.

Yours Alone →

This song is kind of awesome- in a lullaby/i feel like crying/make out in a field of wild flowers kind of way. If you have not heard of Whitestone Motion Pictures I strongly encourage you to discover them immediately. I recently watched Heartless, where this song came from, and Candy Shop. Both were simply amazing. XOXO, SG

Conversations with Marj

(Me, Orlagh and Marj talking about our Saturday nights over pizza and football) Marj: Yeah, Kristen was wasted throwing up behind a car and I was like, fuck this. I went to the diner and got some whole wheat banana pancakes. Marj: Oh, and I woke up naked and alone. Marj: But I did have my retainer in and washed my face! THAT takes some major skills. Went to the Giants/Eagles game today....

Anonymous asked: Dear SG,

First, thanks for the well-wishes. You rule. Your blog is a highlight of my day.

Secondly, as I am now in the beginning of wedding planning-mode, I am curious to know how SG feels about wedding food, especially the whole cake v. dessert bar dilemma. Please enlighten and discuss at great length, or no length at all.

Regards,

It's a Christmas Miracle!

I asked Tumblr support for help regarding a lost blog and they fixed it. Tumblr cares! Thanks Karp!

My phone conversation this morning with my mother, who now lives in downtown Baltimore. She told me this story and this is how it plays out. To set the scene, 2 drunk guys were fighting about something under my parents bedroom window in the middle of the night. Mom: Jim, I am going to call the police. They are being way too loud. Dad: No, they are just being drunk and stupid- they will leave...

A shout out to my good friend Anne, who just got engaged to Mr. Jengles! Love you Annie Poo! (andanotheronebitesthedust) XOXO, SG

Conversations to Nowhere

Single Girls know what I am talking about. The conversation to nowhere. It always starts off fun- you meet a guy, he gets your digits and the first couple of texts are getting to know you related/recapping the night, then starts going downhill. Slowly. By the 5th day it’s like beating a dead horse, in the winter and without gloves- with a wooden spoon. Below is an example of a conversation...

lifeoftheabsolutelyoptimistic asked: I definitely thought of this blog the other day when I had 2 pieces of cold pizza for breakfast/lunch (not even good enough to call brunch), and then chips and salsa plus half of a 20 piece chicken McNuggets for dinner. ha.
Yup. Single girls gotta eat.
Love your blog by the way :)

Caution: Hoarder When Drunk

You know what’s disturbing? Looking in your purse on Friday morning to find 5 promotional pens from the bar you were at the night before. You know what’s more disturbing? The fact that these 5 pens were aquired while at a bar with a boy who I just met that night. What do you think he was thinking when I asked the bartnder- “Do you mind if I take more than just one?”. My...
