Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
1. Hi from the office-away-from-home (aka Bux)! It’s another gloomy day in these parts, making hanging out in a cozy coffee shop that much more enjoyable. And have we seen the cute fall-inspired coffee cups yet? I saw them on a few blogs and figured they were only in select shops, but lo-and-behold my Bux was just waiting for the first day of fall to bust them out. They don’t really hold a candle to the infamous red cups, but they’re still super cute.
2. My brain is feeling a little slow on the uptake this morning. What’s say we get the randomness ball rolling with a few random facts, eh? Ehhh.
1. I must be living under a rock because I actually had to Google “is there water on the moon?” Apparently there is, but you can’t exactly swim in it.
2. Because that’s -exactly- what kids are texting about during class…
3. Not that I included this in there because I’m positively biased about gaming or anything…
4. It. Most. Certainly. Does.
5. Think about that before you call someone your ‘bae.’ <– that word needs to go away.
3. And here’s a bit of Spoons randomness for ya — I actually cleaned the keyboard on my laptop a few days ago [after not cleaning it in… forever], and I can’t believe how much nicer it feels to type on. I also can’t believe how grimy I let it get. The joys of being a food blogger… and of eating all your meals/snacks by the computer. Gross 😯
4. And this is one of the reasons I love waking up so early. Those sunrises, though!
Nevermind that it takes the sun a good two point five hours to actually rise after I wake up… it’s still a gorgeous sight to see. I don’t think anything will ever beat the sunrise I saw over Haleakala Crater in Maui, though. Totally worth waking up at 3am and driving up a curvy mountain road in the pitch black darkness…
5. Speaking of travels, guess who’s going to the mountains this weekend!? This girl! I feel like it’s been way too long since I’ve been up there (apparently I need snow on the ground to motivate me to make the drive), and I’m needing some soul-soothing mountain goodness in my life. I’m also needing to say goodbye to this girl before she makes the trek back east. Sad times in AB…
6. But happy times at the dentist! Which I realize sounds like a complete contradictory statement, but I went in for a routine cleaning a while back and came out with a set of perfectly healthy teeth — awesome news for someone who’s got a predisposition for teeth (tooth?) issues. I totally credit the oil pulling for that one. I’m still doing it every other day and it’s made a huge difference in my oral health.
7. Anyone else get super paranoid about completing software updates on their phone? iOS 9 came out recently, and I’m always afraid that doing an update is going to break something or introduce changes I don’t like. I’ll still end up doing it, though, because the OCD part of my brain can’t cope with the little notification on my settings button.
And, yes… I keep a winter wallpaper on my phone all year long. And, yes, I’m looking forward to being able to go snowboarding soon. Please refrain from throwing things at me 😛
8. It’s no secret that I have a slight obsession with jelly beans, which is why I get super excited when I come across a new-to-me brand to try. I picked up a bag of Jolly Rancher jelly beans the other day, and I have to admit that I’m not the biggest fan. They’re not terrible, but they’re a little too artificial tasting, if that makes sense. My regular no name store brand tastes like lightly flavoured sugar, whereas these just taste like straight up chemicals. Probably because they are.
9. Speaking of colourful chemicals… Mom asked me to help her pick out some paint for her new place, which is probably the worst thing to ask someone who’s super indecisive. I don’t think she appreciated my suggestion to paint the whole house with chalkboard paint so that I could draw on the walls 😆
10. Aaaaaand happy Thursday, friendly faces! 😀
No questions… just tell me whatever comes to your mind! 😀

LOL! Look who is replying to all comments now. 😉
I hope you give Sam a massive hi5 for me 🙂
I’m convinced when I upgrade my phone it slows it down, which in turn is a secret way to get you to buy stuff from Apple. I adore the fall Starbucks cups, ADORE!
Update broke my Pinterest 😥
I have been oil pulling for the last 4-5 months now and I personally can’t tell the difference, but I can’t wait to see what the dentist says about my teeth! I’ve also been needing to pick out paint colors for my upstairs living room/kitchen… it actually stresses me out thinking about have to decide which color to go with. And it is only paint! Hahahaha
I was skeptical with oil pulling until I went for my cleaning and the hygienist told me how much my teeth improved. I do notice that my mouth generally feels cleaner, though.
The update didn’t crash my phone but the download failed the first 3 times… The update of the update this morning went smoothly. I wonder how many of these we’ll have until they fix all the stupid bugs they left in it. I’ve already heard of so many problems – from Siri going mute to the touch screen not responding and from a slowdown to freezing at the apple logo. I didn’t experience any of theses issues but I’m still not a big fan of some of the changes.
I didn’t have any problems with the download itself, but I noticed that I couldn’t pin anything from my phone anymore. Sigh.
I always wait for David to do the apple updates before me.. that way I know whether or not its ok to go ahead without any issues… does that make me a bad wife? haha!
Ooh enjoy the mountains and have fun with Sam. I am hoping maybe to get to the beach this weekend!
I ended up doing the update and the biggest thing I noticed was that I couldn’t pin anything to Pinterest anymore. Le sigh.
Ok, I’m really glad it’s not just me that reads words in pauses when there are periods in between the words. Also, I did the update and some of the changes really bug me! Like, you know how before your notifications were separated based on the app? Now they are all lumped together in chronological order, which I find super annoying. Stupid updates. And we’re all going to miss Sam 🙁 🙁
Whaaa? Ugh. I haven’t noticed that notification thing yet. But I did notice that my Pinterest doesn’t work anymore — I can’t pin anything from my phone!
Haha babe is the worst word ever. That and fleek. I have no idea how saying “on fleek” became a thing.
Me neither. But I hope my eyebrows are on it 😉
I LOVE sunsets and sunrises. Also my teeth are cavity-prone so I really need to get on the oil-pulling train because the dentist is no fun. Those jolly rancher candies look so yummy and addictive. Also keyboards are gross. I try to clean it every once in a while…
Definitely give oil pulling a try! I noticed a really big difference in my teeth.
The word bae seriously needs to go away. I never use it. I am bothered by the little notification circles on my iPhone too. I don’t know how I feel about IOS 9 yet.
I hate that it broke my Pinterest. But other than that, I think I’m okay with it.
1. I think those Starbucks cups are SUPER cute and I want to go get one just for the picture haha.
2. Does the gaming thing count if you’re playing Sims?? #probablynot
3. My phone memory is always too full for updates so I have to delete stuff…oops.
😆 I’m honestly not sure Sims counts. I would assume that it needs to be something with a little more movement, though. Then again… I’ve never played Sims 😯
Lol, I think I’ve done that exact thing with updating because I wanted to get rid of the notification! 😛 I love the random fact about the voice in your head taking pauses, because it is so true!! I laughed outright when I finished it, because, even though I was reading it fast, the momentary pauses were still there. 😉 Gorgeous sunrise photos…
I ended up doing the update and I didn’t notice any issues until I tried pinning things from my phone — it doesn’t work 🙁
Oh my gosh–I am totally the same way about software updates. I always cross my fingers and hold my breath when I do it!
So far, the only problem that I noticed with this one is that I can’t use Pinterest on my phone to pin anything anymore 🙁
That’s hilarious that bae means poop in Danish, lol! Good thing I never use that word.
And yes, I can understand why you’re paranoid about updating your phone. I just upgraded mine and now I can’t pin anything on it! It’s frustrating the crap out of me!!
I was thinking I got away scotch free as well, but I noticed the same problem with Pinterest 🙁 Hopefully they fix it soon!
Love the special fall Starbucks cups! I don’t get excited over the fall drinks though. I’m much more of an eggnog latte kind of girl.
I’m not huge on the fall drinks either — it’s just nice to have my Pike in a cute cup 😉
I am so not ready for the cold and winter! I have been seeing that Starbucks cup everywhere. It is soooo cute. I didnt know they changed the cups for fall. Maybe this is a new thing?
Could be! I’m pretty sure this is the first year I’ve seen it, but I really hope they make it a permanent seasonal thing!
