The World is FULL of things to be Thankful for!!!! (comedy edition)

Butters! Note: this is not my cat.. although I wish it was... :(

Don’t forget Kitty gif’s

  Skittles. I love me some rainbow tasting.

   Mint.com – seeing your savings account grow is FUN

Groupon – thank you... from the bottom of my heart...

Champagne…the best beverage in the history of beverages.

  Family wooohooooo!

You Know You’re Getting Old When...

In honor of being roughly a year and a half away from my 30’s I decided to compile a list of things that happen to make feel old. It really does sneak up on you…. Now, just to be clear, I in no way, shape or form think I’m “OLD”, but things are beginning to happen that make me really, TRULY, realize that I am no longer the young buck I once was…

Without further ado, you know you’re getting old when…

You're still hungover on Monday from a Friday night happy hour

You see the can't-drink-before date in the bar as 1993 (soon to be 1994)

You see 10 year-olds with cell phones

You have to ask a kid how to use an app

You hear acronyms like “YOLO” and have no idea what it stands for

Sunday afternoon naps on are the BEST. Until someone wakes you up... 

You're thrilled to wake up at 7:30am on a Saturday

Menards becomes a weekly occurrence 

You feel you might fall asleep standing up if you're at a bar past midnight

25 Things You Don’t Know About Me

As you already know, I’m a girl that likes her US Weekly. I love What’s in my Bag, I love Stars, They’re Just Like Us. I love it all. I also love 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me, where the chosen person of the week reveals their deepest and darkest. Not really, they just talk randomly about their quirks, but still… it’s funny to get a look into the person behind the mask or whatever.

So, without further ado, here are 25 things that you don’t know about me (if you’re my family you know some…):

1.  I really want to own my own vespa (then learn how to drive it)

2.  The one thing I could eat everyday for the rest of my life would be sushi

3.  My biggest pet peeve is when people interrupt. Even though I find myself doing it also

4.  I still promise myself I'll learn how to skateboard one day

5.  My dream job would be booking musical talent at a record label in NYC

6.  My favorite personal feature is my blue eyes

7.   I secretly wish I was a natural (dark) brunette. But I still want my blue eyes

8.  I still have nightmares about my house catching on fire when I was a kid

9.  I could spend hours and hours with my iPod in Central Park. Nothing else necessary

10. If I could have one superpower it would be be to manipulate time. Start. Stop. Move

11. I wish I would have paid more attention to history in school

12. I'm working on being more outdoorsy

13. When red wine is offered I'll drink it but secretly hate it

14. I think it would have been amazing to live in the 60's

15. I sometimes think too much about the world ending

16. Even though at times it made high school tough, my gymnastics childhood is what I'm most proud of

17. I really want to climb a mountain

18. I despise canned tuna

19. I'm also not a fan of any kind of melon (besides Courtney's watermelon salsa of course!)

20. I daydream. A lot!

21. My biggest regret in life is that I didn't study abroad

22. I thought I could sing for a minute in high school then was told by friends that I could not (they were right)

23. Recently I have an unhealthy obsession with Nips

24. If I could be anyone for a day it would be Nina Dobrev

25. I really like business trips

Things to be happy about part II

First off, Happy Birthday to the Co-Editor and Chief of Chat+Clink+Repeat... Courtney Ann. I love you and hope you had/have the best day!! xoxox

Now, on to our 401st post... 



Here’s another list from yours truly (you can find Part 1 of things to be happy about here). But I tell ya, the list below are not of things that make you smile, make you love, or make you grateful to be alive. No. The list below details those things that happen and simply make you say “HELL YEAH!” Those things that can really make your day because you’re just that DAMN lucky. Enjoy! 

(I decided to get on the GIF train...). 

That EUREKA moment when you realize your favorite shirt wasn't lost, it was just in the dry cleaning hamper for 4 months

Your sister texting you and saying she’s drinking Founders beer (in NOLA)

That moment on a Sunday afternoon when you realize you in fact have back stock of champagne

Boiling noodles and not overflowing the water! #winning!! Or is that just me…?

Waking up in the morning and realizing you have NOT ruined your just-before-bed manicure

The feeling you get when another show you've been dying to watch from start to finish is released on Netflix.

Approaching your car downtown and realizing you DID NOT get a parking ticket!

Returning from lunch after 1:00pm and snagging the closest spot to the building (while it’s raining cats and dogs)

Waking up at 5am, turning on the shower, nearly stepping inside, and realizing it is SATURDAY!

P.S. All of these things have happened to me in 2014.
