Save.Love.Give With VERA

What if there was a way for you to save on your cell phone bill, love the tool that you used to find all those savings, and then give some or all of your savings to someone in need?

Weekend Snapshots: With The Girls

I had kind of a lot of fun this weekend.

First of all, I went out. I mean, not really "out", more like Francesca was staying at our place for the night, and after dinner we started talking about maybe going out for a drink somewhere, and I said "but it's 8PM", and she looked at me like I was a crazy person.

And so I put on my new heels and threw my wallet into my purse, and Francesca looked at me like I was a crazy person again and said, "Jordan, you need to put on pants."

Eat

Hm.

I'm not sure last night's bread-making experiment was entirely successful.

Here's the thing: if you've been reading here for awhile, you know I have a ludicrously spotty history with baking of any kind. Sometimes it works...sometimes it really, really doesn't. And there's no big mystery here; I know why my baking experiments don't always (ok, don't usually) turn out as planned, and the answer is that I'm a lazy mess when it comes to using for-real measuring devices. I figure, hey, that looks more or less like a cup of milk...I'm sure it'll be fine.

And do I learn my lesson?

I do not! Because I believe that the power of positive thinking can conquer even basic chemistry. (Or, fine: it's probably more the aforementioned lazy mess thing.)

Lust Object

I mean...I remember futons from college. And they didn't look like this.

Granted, this Chocolate Fresh Futon Beat (maybe a new name, guys? just a suggestion) is about twice as expensive as the (not so cute, but perfectly comfortable) model I had way back when...but if you're looking for a stylish and slightly more grownup-looking way to provide extra sleeping space for guests? Love it.
