So my friend K and I are pretty ridiculous.  But thankfully, in many of the same ways.  I am, to be sure, MORE ridiculous, but that is to be expected.  Nonetheless, it's nice to find a friend that shares your bizarre sense of humor.

On Wednesday, K and I were wondering about Anthropologie, when quite suddenly K became quite hurried.  You see, she had to get home.  Because there was a large quantity of frozen salmon delivered there and she had to quickly attend to it.  She was quite exasperated at the situation, as she had a lot of shopping to do.  As one who expresses equally trivial complaints with equal parts of exaggerated irritation, I got it.  Who wants to leave Anthropologie for some salmon?  NOBODY, that's who.  Nonetheless, the salmon cried her name.

So I wrote a Songify song to help K through these hard times, and I thought you might all enjoy it too.

Click Here to Hear SALMON SITUATION.  Trust me, worth it.

We found ourselves shopping again on Thursday (WHATEVER. THERE IS A NEW H&M), and discussing another trivial matter to be upset about, along with some actual Real Pressing Life Issues.  But we decided that certain things in life that you will become upset about, regardless of how stressful they actually are, needed a term.  And that term, ladies (and gentlemen) is SALMON SITUATION.

It's a problem that isn't really a problem.

It's being angry at how long your Adele song is taking to download from iTunes.

It's H&M being out of your size in everything.

It's the restaurant running out of your favorite prosecco.

It's a box of frozen salmon on your porch.

It's a SALMON SITUATION.

Happy Friday!

Go Buy This: Boden REALLY FLATTERING DRESS Ed.

My Aunt-in-Law and Grandma-in-Law gifted me a Boden gift card for my recent birthday, and one of the items I selected (mostly for the low price and its work appropriateness- just add jacket for instant suit!) is a real hit.  And by real hit I mean, wear it in an elevator with 6 men and prepare to have them all make a remark on it (yes that happened).  And it's only $39!

I find Boden to run a little tight, especially in the hips (and I have NO HIPS so I am not kidding about this).  I took my usual size but if you have any hips at all, you might want to size up!

More Fun Time with K!

Backstory:  I recently declared that for Karla's upcoming birthday I was going to coordinate a butterfly release in her home as she loves butterflies so.

Me:  I CANNOT get a cat.  I wouldn't mind a cat per se, but I'm highly allergic.  A cat is probably the only pet I could manage not to accidentally kill.  Too bad they want to kill me.

K:  You know what?  You do a butterfly release in my house, I'm gonna do a CAT RELEASE into your house!

Me:  That is SO NOT THE SAME THING.

K:  You heard me.  You do any manner of insect release into my home and I will make you pay bitch!

Me:  Karla.  What are you going to do?  Go down to the pound and adopt a bunch of random cats?  "Oh, hi, I'm here for some cats for a cat release!"

If you do a cat release into my house and I will one up that shit with a GOAT RELEASE.

K:  That's fine.  I can totally handle a goat release.  Me and goats are totally cool.

Me:  Well, I hope you aren't too big on those Baccarat butterflies in your living room because those will BE DONE.

K:  No.  I'll hide them.

Me:  I'm not going to tell you when I'm gonna do the goat release.  It will be a surprise goat release.

K:  Whatever I like goats.

Me:  You aren't going to like them in your damn house.

K:  Whatever, bitch.  CAT RELEASE.

Me:  This is basically most absurd conversation to ever occur.

K:  Basically.

Either Why We Are Friends OR Why We Are Not.

DO NOT INVITE ME TO YOUR DAMN STELLA AND DOT PARTY.
