People look at me like I’m nuts when I save the little shovel-spoons they give you with your gelato. I wipe them off, stick them in my purse, and ignore the stares. Later, when I eat my ice cream or yogurt with one of these happy little spoons, it’s like a little ray of sunshine. Pow!

I don’t know about you guys, but the ends of the new arms of my aloe plant look like little green paws. tiny and rounded with a few teeny soft spines at the end like little claws. when I water my aloe or turn it, I shake each one and say ‘helloooo!’ in a kind of sing-song british-y way.

I’m serious.

just watched new kids on the block on regis & kelly and am left wondering: how does donnie wahlberg feel about all of this? he’s a legitimate actor now – he has a real career. he was in ‘band of brothers’ for crying out loud. possibly relevant: he was the only one that seemed into the dancing and the whole performance. completely not relevant: they are all looking surprisingly hot.

i should maybe think about drinkin’ it.
