groceries

while i loved living by myself, i didn't enjoy grocery shopping or making meals for one. but the flip side is that now i am able to really appreciate buying for two. i find myself looking forward to planning our meals ahead of time, and making my weekly trip to trader joe's and once a month adventure to costco.

however, i still cringe when i see parents coming towards me with their children "driving" their obnoxiously large, kid friendly, carts.

Always remember, there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name

"you can add up the parts
but you won't have the sum
you can strike up the march,
there is no drum
every heart, every heart
to love will come
but like a refugee.

ring the bells that still can ring
forget your perfect offering
there is a crack, a crack in everything
that's how the light gets in"

wave goodbye

from this day forward,  i will make every effort to avoid processed food.

goodbye nacho cheese
goodbye shredded cheese
goodbye mac&cheese in the box (even if you are gluten free)
goodbye pretzel m&ms
goodbye cheetos, doritos, the occasional cape cod
goodbye fast food
goodbye anything that is frozen and then must be microwaved which makes packing a lunch really really easy

um making that last really disgusts me.

"green eyes, you're the one that i wanted to find. and anyone who tried to deny you, must be out of their mind. i came here with a load, and it feels so much lighter, since i met you. and honey you should know, that i could never go on, without you."

i love that i can listen to this song, and it reminds me of the best summer of my life.
i love that i can remember my roommates singing this song, from their respective rooms, while i blared it from my mac. 
i love that i think about settling into my very own apartment, all by myself.
but what i really love is that gwyneth paltrow won't allow chris martin to sing this song. because it's about another girl. respect.
