A pic of my beautiful new purse I was gushing about yesterday.

The flowers were a 3 year anniversary gift from the boyfriend…. Three years!! Remember when I joined tumblr I solely used it to write sappy love poems about him and yell about hockey 24/7? Man, how some things have changed.

We are taking Harvey camping with us at the end of the month! We have done a few “practice trips” and she really enjoys it… I think we are finally ready for the real thing.

two recent purchases

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 19:33:06 -0400

that I’m so excited about and have to share with someone so here goes:

I bought an oscillating fan from Aldi (aka, my favorite store) for $20 and it is wonderful! There is wind blowing on me, which I hate, but it’s only occasionally which is awesome and if I can avoid running my air conditioner constantly then I will deal!

There is a new purse store in Suburban Station and it is BEAUTIFUL and clean and bright and big! And the purses are really nice and not expensive at all! I am just so excited because I bought one and it is exactly what I have been looking for the past 3 months for and it’s really nice quality for about half of what I had budgeted.

The Astonishing Annual Red Crab Migration

Named one of the planet’s most breathtaking migrations, the Christmas Island red crab exodus is a natural phenomenon that continues to astonish.

Making it onto CNN Travel’s recent list of the “10 most spectacular wildlife migrations,” the island’s annual red crab migration is an astounding event that involves the movement of millions of vividly colored crabs as they leave their in-land homes to breed and release eggs into the sea.

An Australian territory, Christmas Island lies some 2,600 kilometers north-west of Perth in the middle of the Indian Ocean. While just 1,500 people live there, it is home to an estimated 120 million crabs.

Attn: crabby-cakess

Fuck this shit. YET ANOTHER reason to only look at Australia (and its territories) from the giant map hanging on the wall.

This is insane. I would be screaming in terror. Why would you just lay on the ground to look at crabs?? Attack positions people!

"Sunk costs are the investments that you’ve put into something that you can’t get back out. They are..."

Fri, 24 May 2013 23:18:11 -0400

“

Sunk costs are the investments that you’ve put into something that you can’t get back out. They are the years you spent training for a profession you hate, or waiting for your commitment-phobic boyfriend to propose. They are the thousands of dollars you spent on redecorating your living room, only to find that you hate living in it. Once you’ve realized that you probably won’t succeed, or that you are unhappy with the results, it shouldn’t matter how much time and effort you’ve already put into something. If your job or your boyfriend have taken up some of the best years of your life, it doesn’t make sense to let them use up the years you’ve got left. An ugly living room is an ugly living room, no matter how much money you spent making it so.

As studies by behavioral economists like Daniel Kahnemen and Dan Ariely show, people are generally loss-averse. Putting in a lot, only to end up with nothing to show for it, is just too awful for most of us to seriously consider. The problem is one of focus. We worry far too much about what we’ll lose if we just move on, instead of focusing on the costs of not moving on: more wasted time and effort, more unhappiness, and more missed opportunities.

There is no better motivation to start your 5k training than having an old russian lady ask when your baby is coming on your way to work.

I tried to post that photo from my phone TWO WEEKS AGO to show off my new bridesmaid shoes (and the obviously excellent outfit choice for internet photos). That photo basically traveled through time to get to us today!

I just learned that at Smith, if you are being dance-creeped on by a guy at a party/bar/whatever, you make the Loser sign with your hands and other Smith women are traditionally obligated to form a dance circle around you to block out the creep. They call it the Loser Dance.
