The B-12 Patch Is Essential. So is soup.

If you’ve ever lamented the time and effort it takes to brew or procure a cup of coffee, this might perk you up. “Breathable Energy. Anytime. Anyplace.” (via Inhalable Caffeine: Party Drug Or Handy, Pocket-Sized Boost? : The Salt)

I need this. But in a simpler to use form. Breathing takes soooo much effort.
Self-reflection
Sometimes, I open my closet & think “my God, this woman wears a lot of pink.” Then I remember it’s a line from “Legally Blonde” & I’m glad I ditched law school, cause otherwise I’d just be a movie cliche.
Adding this to my wine cellar (a wire shelf next to the fridge) alongide my prized “Bitch” and “Monogamy” bottles. And thus my wine collection is complete.
Family Lost In Corn Maze Dials 911
Well, someone beat me to Tumblr to post this. Color me shocked. Been lobbying to get that color in the Crayola box for years. Hasn’t taken. Yet. It’s basically my retirement plan, so gotta keep the faith. Maize, now that’s a good color.

You know. I complained about your overgrown hedges. They were a public menace what with the blocking of the sidewalk and all. Then I noticed you hacked a few branches off last week. And discourteously left them right in the middle of the sidewalk. Now I see you’ve finally given up the attempt to claim this particular patch of sidewalk for yourselves (this isn’t Oregon Trail, you can’t just settle land as you wish anymore) and what have you gone and done? The worst hedge-trimming job ever, that’s what. You should be run out of the town for this visual blight, but of course we’re all too nice for that, a character flaw of a large percentage of Pacific Northwest residents, I find. So, I just want to let you know that I hate your hedges still.
What shall we bring to the BBQ tomorrow?
Young lady, you’re not getting on the plane wearing that. This isn’t the Disney Channel Hooker Jet Plane…Airline. If these people wanted teenage whores they’d be on their way to Thailand, not L.A. Wait. That doesn’t work at all. Anyway, two finger rule. It works for both length and tightness of clothing. Learn it, use it, love it. And pass it on to your even younger sister there. Your father would say you both look like hussies.
I sort of feel like there must be a more…advanced way to indicate which wheel belongs on which side of the humongous motor vehicle. Perhaps we ought to outsource this to a nation that can handle such challenging tasks?
WTF is “jigsaw”???? People, listen closely: I will immediately de-friend or de-circle or de-follow you on any and all social media if you send me Jigsaw, LinkedIn (seriously, is this 2004?) or any other bunk social networking info. And to the idiots who are confusing me with someone else with my same name, don’t you ever wonder why your loved one never emails you back? Doesn’t this make you casually bring this up over potato salad and sangria at the next shindig you see her at, at which point, do you not just point blank say, “hmmm, let me double check your email address, oh, yup, gee whiz, I totally had that wrong,” and then you slap your forehead and you both have a good chuckle even though it isn’t really that funny, but that’s what we do to fill silences, we fake laughter? No? You don’t do this? I know! Because you keep emailing me. I tried to be understanding. I replied and let you know I would not be attending the family reunion because I was not the right Rachel. But now I’m getting angry. You’re adding yourselves to my Google Plus. You’re sending me inane updates about cousins that wouldn’t be interesting even if I were related to you. And now the effin Jigsaw junk mail onslaught— my investigation into that is ongoing, but I’m blaming you. All of you idiots who keep emailing the wrong Rachel. Leave me alone!!!
Things that are not helpful to hear when you are about to have a needle stuck in your spine:
1. “Do you know if they gave you all of the sedative out here last time you had this done [preop/recovery area] or did you get some in the OR?”
Hmmm…those initials after your name make me assume you know what to do. I’m just here for the drugs. But since you value my opinion, the Pre-op room seems like a perfectly good place to do the preparatory procedures.
2. “Oops, blew through another vein.
Just went all the way through. Didn’t mean to use you as a pin cushion today, honey.”
Well, as long as you didn’t mean to, it’s all good.
Two women with dolls at LAX, a study in humanity, by Rachel c. 2011
Yes, I said dolls. Grown-ass women. With dolls. In christening gowns.
Suburban horrors, part ‘I have no idea what number in an unending series”: I am totally calling the appropriate officials about this— some people are NOT trimming their hedges properly. To the poopers in the split level at 8629: your hedges are overhanging the sidewalk. I am going to get all up in your grill about this. Are you picking up what I am putting down on the ground in front of you, not overly aggressively I hope, dog? P.s. Speaking of grills, is that perchance a Viking 53” grill on your patio there? How do you like ‘er? She’s a real beaut. She burn hot enough for ya? Our Schnoodle puppy would just love that rotisserie spit on it, she does so love her roasted chicken.
