hi, i'm erin, a 20-something in the garden state. reader beware: sarcasm abounds in this here little spot on the interwebz. with that said, WELCOME!

a little about me - i used to post pictures of bagels & sandwiches, but am currently forgoing them on a gluten-free quest for health. things i like include, but are not limited to: food, golden retrievers (most specifically mine - lilly & bryce), not using capital letters, a passion for all things weird, not using my gym membership, photo capturing my life, & other miscellaneous amusements. thank you for entertaining my absurdities!

happy boy.

happy boy.

Michael Scott forever.

He was perfect.

i have so many feelings about the show being over but for now this deserves a permanent spot here.

HEY! it’s thursday. thank the dear lord. a few things this morning:
when i tell you i’m obsessed with this stuff, OB.SESSED. go run out immediately and get you some, too. guac & hummus together… i mean.
poll: does everyone wash their bodies with soap & their hands or do you use some kind of loofa/scrub brush & a liquid soap?
the bathroom shot above is brought to you by a sunburned tanning bed burned face (& ps. this dress is marked down & gap is running a 40% off sale items promo right now FYI)
i bought this EOS shave cream yesterday, which can be used for a wet or DRY shave. basically i will buy anything that hints at making my already non-existent beauty regimen even simpler. you mean i can shave my legs & not even have to enter a shower? SOLD.
new lady antebellum album on repeat
scott’s mom & sister are heading to florida tomorrow (jupiter then disney world). i am beyond jealous.
so, on the topic of vacations - we took off a wed-friday the 3rd week in september & were initially going to head to disney. but, after some reconsideration, we want to explore other options (preferably in the US, but mexico isn’t outta the picture). anyone have any recommendations? arizona? colorado? maine? florida keys? bueller?
this youtube channel has been my “go-to” for the past two weeks. i’m loving the walking workouts & loving the fact that i can “dance” (put in quotations for a reason - your girl isn’t very coordinated  around like a fool to my hearts content.
emily comes in TWO DAYS! this weekend will be a blast - good food, a trip to the beadery to make jewelry, meeting lilly & bryce, NYC for dinner at jane then a friends birthday at houston hall, etc.
scott’s been having crazy dreams with the chantix. the other night he had one where he lost his legs & had to wear prosthetics & when he had to get into the bathroom i was taking too long & wouldn’t let him in. the second part of that is basically real life.
opi’s don’t burst my bubble is the PERFECT white/pink polish (especially with a tan). currently replacing mademoiselle & ballet slippers at the top of the leader board.

oh.

oh.

GPOYW (are we still doing this?). still dreaming of aruba & the reflection of the sand & sea in my shades instead of a blacktop parking lot in new jersey. & a freckly nose. & ocean waves. & utter and complete relaxation. 
is that too much to ask?

happy tuesday, kiddos (i mean as happy as a tuesday really can be). been a busy past few days (weekend recap to come shortly)!
two things worth mentioning: 1. scott has officially quit smoking! i am so proud of him as i know it’s not easy in the slightest. & 2. i have an entire new (but old?) wardrobe of clothes that haven’t fit since 2009 (basically tens of jcrew items from when I worked there & spent all my earnings on new threads).
cheers to a quick day! one day closer to the weekend, right?

brown rice pasta with roasted brussels, squash, & brocc in an onion/bell pepper/cherry tomato ragout. with lots of fresh garlic, naturally. basically the healthy kitchen sink.

the cops came & scanned him for a microchip last night & even though he had one it was not registered. one of the neighbors brought him home for the night and early this morning decided to knock on a few doors in the neighborhood. at one house, a little boy answered & said to his mom, “hey mom where is murphy?” apparently the people were out until late last night and didn’t even realize their dog was missing in the first place. while i’m beyond glad he found his people & won’t end up at the shelter, HOW in GODS NAME did you not realize your dog was missing for hours? this guy had been hanging around from 2pm-9pm & apparently was smart enough to not keep traveling and just stay put. nevertheless, he had a full day of playing basketball with the kids next door & getting belly rubs from everyone.

this poor guy got lost today & stumbled into the yard. he has a nice warm home for the night & are hoping his family claims him tomorrow. he is seriously the sweetest boy ever. we temporarily named him john.

“billy (work friend) gave me a garden gnome. he bought it for five dollars and i kept it on top of my computer tower in the corner of my cubicle. a customer came in today and asked to see it, so when i went to put it back down it’s feet weren’t steady and it fell and hit my computer screen. i replicated the broken part with scotch tape and a green highlighter. it looks legit.”
