A watched phone never vibrates.

1. Some random food I made over a month ago and never posted. They all contain eggs:

Croissantwich with egg and cheese.

Frittata with potatoes, mushrooms, onion, and goat cheese.

2. One day I was walking along and the More Cupcake truck happened to be parked and they were giving away free cupcakes. Mmm, red velvet!

4. Let’s see if I can remember all the times I hung out with Mat…

  • The other day he came over and we went to get dinner. I had a chicken sandwich with pineapple and a sangria made with canned fruit salad.
  • There was the time we watched some documentary about war that just made me sad because it was about how government is controlled by big business. I hate politics. We drank wine.
    bad wine
  • About a week ago we went to watch improv at the io on a Sunday night.
  • There was one night I went to the bar he works at and got really drunk because I drank for free…although I was much more concerned with getting as many cherries as possible into my drinks than with getting free alcohol.
  • There was also the night where he invited me over at 11:30 at night to help him build a desk. I was no help but I brought wine…
    old bad wine

That may be it.

5. p.s. all of the above wine was brought to you by my collection of old wine people gave me while I was still living with my parents and I never drank.

6. There is a giant eye in Chicago.

7. I’d get more laundry done if either a) I wasn’t crazy thinking everything needs to be hung to dry. or b) had more room to hang dry things.

8. The last time I cleaned up my room I managed, for the first time in my life, to not have anything stored under my bed. Does that make me a grownup?

I also got rid of a lot of pants that don’t fit. It feels so good to have drawers full of clothes that I actually wear and not just stuff taking up space.

9. I over think, over analyze, and over daydream.

10. Note to self: do not try to be a grownup and put back the “for kids!” yogurt with the cartoon animals on it. You will end up buying soy yogurt instead. And be sad. 🙁

Hi, I'm Val. I spent most of my 20s in a standstill, unable to pick which path in life I wanted to take. I wanted the nomadic life of a traveler but also wanted the husband, the condo, and the kitten. Unable to decide which life I wanted more, I did nothing. When I turned 30 I’d had enough of putting my life on hold and decided to start “choosing my figs.” So, I quit my job, bought a one-way ticket to Europe, and traveled for three years. Now I'm back in Chicago, decorating my apartment in all the teal, petting my cats, and planning my next adventure.
