Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
1. I must have a sign written on me that says: “Hey! Come sit with me!” because I’m running 3 days in a row now where people have asked to share my booth in Starbucks. In fact, as we speak there’s a gentleman sitting across from me that I did not come here with and that I do not know. Yesterday it was a lady with a stack of books, and the day before that, an older man with a newspaper crossword. At least today’s uninvited guest offered to buy me a coffee… which I didn’t accept because I already had one, but it’s the thought that counts.

2. Can we talk about how awkward and ridiculous toes feel when they’re not painted? I can go without painting my fingernails, but my toes always have to have a pop of colour on them otherwise they won’t see the light of day. I wanted to wear flip-flops the other day, but I had taken off my polish the night before without putting on a new coat. Needless to say, I stuffed my feet into socks and sneakers.
3. Speaking of nail polish… I somehow overlooked my right thumb when I was taking off my polish the other day, and didn’t even notice until the end of the day. This is like the time I almost walked out of the house with only one pair of eyelashes painted. I’m a lost cause.
4. I’m also prone to random bouts of boredom, which cause me to do strange things. In one of my latest ones, I spent some time typing the beginning of random questions into the Google search bar to see what popped up. Here are some of my favourites…
5. But the real question I have to ask is why the heck has comment spam been so insane lately?!
6. So I went to the store to buy crispy rice cereal and came home with all this…

7. … but it was more than worth it because I needed another batch of rice krispie treats in my life, stat…
8. I also need an effective way to wage war on the fruit flies that have started infiltrating my kitchen. I love the warmer weather, but I’m not a fan of the little flies that attack my bananas and seem to spawn from thin air.
9. And because it wouldn’t be a random post without some random facts, voila…
1. I should probably be upset with them for being sneaky, but instead I really want to know where I can find some.
2. This is a perfect example of one of those things that CAN be done, but should NOT be done.
3. … which makes me lose a little more faith in humanity as a whole.
4. Can you even imagine going to sleep at night and waking up the next morning $4 million richer? I can’t…
5. Amen.
More places to find me!

I’m lactose intolerant, but thankfully no allergies! And I’ve been flying looooong distances (think 12 hour flights) since I was 4 due to my dad’s job, so flying is second hand to me. 😉
My Spam has been out of control too lately. I don’t have 17,000, but I’m getting several hundred a day which was way more than usual. It’s also a pain in my arse to go through them all.
Pour some apple cider vinegar and a smidgeon of dish soup in a glass and place it by the bananas. It’ll take a day or two, but it’ll solve the fruit fly problem. I pretty much have a jar of this on m counters all summer long. Between the bananas and my CSA produce it’s a necessity.
OMFG AGREED ABOUT THE COMMENT SPAM! What’s driving me annoying is that a lot of going into my PENDING section! I don’t care about Hair Growth Formulas and Penis Enlargements! LOL!
I also couldn’t agree with you more about naked toe nails! Super awkward. I cannot go without colors on my little piggies!
I think I can help you with your fruit fly situation!!! I had a nasty infestation last summer (the guy who was subletting my apartment thought it was okay to leave bananas out until they turned black) and this totally did the trick. Pretty much you just take a cup, add some apple cider vinegar, a few drops of dish soap, and just leave it on your counter. The flies just dive right on in! I put a couple out around my house and within 2 days the fruit flies were all gone!!

Thanks for the tip, Coco! I was wondering how effective those homemade traps were, and I’m definitely going to be trying it out!
Who is searching for getting excited and eating invisible cereal!? Who even thinks to search for something like that!
I think worse than the unpainted toes for me is when I have a black toe nail. I need to keep dark purple polish on my toes for months because it takes forever to grow out/fall off.
I ended up following up on that one because, yeah, I had no idea either… and it turns out that it’s actually a pretty hilarious meme that’s been floating around. Definitely check it out if you want a good laugh 🙂
Unpainted toe nails give me the heebie jeebies too, even though I’ve worn open-toed shoes with them before myself. But there comes a time when a dancer’s toes are just too ugly for eyes to see.
I must guard my bananas against the dreaded fruit flies as well…one of the worst parts about summer.
So do you think the invisible cereal eaters drink their cereal milk or throw it out? : p
😆 I think they just keep adding more cereal 😉
spam is the worst!
those google searches…they are so depressing! haha
so funny about your starbucks encounters. is it just really busy with no open seats? in that case- that is not so weird but if there is another open seat…. why the heck are u sitting with me lol
Yeaaaah it’s usually pretty busy, which is why I don’t say no — I’d kind of feel like a jerk!
Ummm….bloody meringue – gross. However, not wanting to deal with the drama – heck yes! And that’s weird that people want to invade your booth. I mean, I have no doubt you’re great company and probably look very nice and inviting, but still…
