Life Is But A Drink

So, you know that I’ve had bad luck randomly picking items off the shelf at Whole Foods.  The whole garlic peanut thing still haunts me (see here). 

But, then, sometimes you hit the jackpot.  And all is once again right with the world.

I ran into Whole Foods last night to pick up some coffee beans and came across these chocolate covered caramels sprinkled with sea salt.  Yes, please.

I ate about 5 of them last night because they were so good.  And another for breakfast.  Yes, really.  Don’t mind if I do. 

I think I’m in love.

This is what’s going on at our house this week.

Our contractor is here working on a few things.  We thought it was going to be a quick job but, four days later and they are not done.  There is still a pile of contractor junk in the middle of my living room floor.  It’s not like they are dawdling or wasting time or not working hard to get the job done.  It’s just taking longer than we expected.

We’re hoping they finish up today because we kind of want our house back.  I’m not a huge fan of circular saw decor and construction dust and having to take my dog to doggie day care every day to stay out of the way of the guys as they work.  It’s starting to stress me out just a bit.

I wish I could say that we were having something amazing done – a new bathroom?  a kitchen remodel?  But, alas, we’re just having a few rooms re-painted and some damaged trim / windowsills replaced.  It’s a lot of little, detailed, finishing work.  We’re pleased as punch with how it’s looking.  I basically want to start sleeping in my entry hall now because it’s so clean and crisp and finished and lovely.

So now we just want it all to be done so we can enjoy it.

Wish us luck.

OK, so this singer guy gets a lot of chicks.

According to the Internet gossip sites, he’s dated Vanessa Carlton, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Aniston, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry – to name a few.  That’s quite an eclectic list, eh?  I mean – from Taylor Swift to Katy Perry?  That’s an odd transition.

And I don’t get it.

I don’t get what draws all of these women to this singer guy.  I guess he can sing ok.  And it’s not like he’s superbly UNattractive.  But, in my book, he’s not particularly hunky either.  There are better looking singer guys out there.

And I don’t get the vibe that he’s particularly nice.  He seems to leave a whole lot of broken hearts in his wake.  And he spends a whole lot of time kissing-and-telling.  Which, again, is odd.

And, well, it appears that he has more than one tattoo.  A whole load of tattoos, actually.  To each his own, but I’m not a fan of the full arm tattoo look.  Call me a prude.  We’re good.

I just don’t get it.  What am I missing?
