Guest Post: It's not every day that a dog gets mail...


...but every dog has her day!


It says my name...

















...but are you sure this is for me??



















Hmm....this smells like grandma and grandpa's place...


















What is it!? What is it!?!? Must sniff sniff sniff.


















It's from grandpa!! I gave it a little lick just in case he could feel it. It sure did smell like him.
















Me and my new poster! Squeegee Squad!

On car vs bus commutes, and yelling

suzanne.jarosz :the only thing i can do is sing along to the radio, and eat. both things that do not add to my quality of life.
5:03 PM me: NOT TRUE!
oh my goodness, if you knew how much i miss singing to music
particularly in the car, when you feel in control
5:04 PM living in the city, in an apartment building, there are very few opportunities for making noise
5:05 PM suzanne.jarosz: hahaha. you could make noise, but the question of being heard is different.
me: exactly
suzanne.jarosz: omg. i am totally on board with the yelling rooms
5:06 PM my version: the pillow scream.
equally effective. it got me through college
5:09 PM me: hahahahhaa
ill have to try that
might still freak Alex out, but that's about it, hah
5:11 PM suzanne.jarosz: years ago, rian asked me how i stay so calm and i responded "pillow scream"--that moment changed her life...and little did our roommates know, but they had double pillow screams happening almost every night.
5:13 PM me: hahahahahahha
that's fantastic

On growing up

claire: i think i need to buy some makeup
face makeup. i don't own any.
Jordan: good lord. how do you not own face makeup
me: concealer, foundation, the whole bit
hahaha
Jordan: probs because you have good skin
me: i just never wore it
not great skin, by any means
i have a lot of weird rosiness, but i just distract from it by wearing blush
(in the right places, hah)
otherwise, i just never gave enough of a crap
8:10 PM like, i cared, but it felt like i was fighting a losing battle
8:11 PM i don't like wearing makeup that you can SEE im wearing makeup
for the most part, anyway
8:12 PM Jordan: get bare minerals
at Ulta
i love it.
you hardly wear any of it
but it gives you a polished look
8:14 PM me: i've almost purchased it multiple times
but im such an idiot, i dont even know the order of things
isn't there one other kind of face makeup?
foundation, concealer, and....
Jordan: they do free tests on yoU!
they teach you how to do it
if you go to an Ulta store.
me: there's one right on Powell street
8:15 PM Jordan: go try it
they'll do a lil makeover
me: i got a free sample on the street two weeks ago

8:32 PM
me: but i think it was just the mineral powder
er wait
the thing that goes on top, whatever the hell that is
ha
Jordan: mineral veil
awesome stuff.
8:35 PM me: im excited :)
i feel like i'm growing up, hah
8:36 PM Jordan: lol...let's see? you're married. you moved to San Fran. you bought a dog. NOW you feel like an adult? because you're going to buy makeup?
me: hahahahahahhahaa
fair enough.
