WHAT DAY IS IT?

I have found a lot of "holidays" to celebrate today.

First, Happy Paul Bunyan Day!

 What? Yes. Paul Bunyan Day. From the tall tale. The big guy with the blue ox that "invented" logging. How do you celebrate this? Chop down a tree?

It's also Insurance Awareness Day!

I've never really had to do much with insurance besides giving people the card at the doctor's office. Hopefully it stays that way! I know that having good insurance is important, especially medical. That is one super important thing when looking for a full-time job. I have heard a lot about insurance from my very smart, insurance working brother-in-law (the one with the super cute baby.)

And now for my favorite..

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY!

I thought about making this whole post in caps but decided that would be super annoying. I think it's really funny when people don't realize that CAPS LOCK implies yelling and use it to emphasize words when some italics or underlining, or even bolding would suffice. CAPS LOCK NOT NECESSARY. Do you read emails different when they have a lot of caps lock in them? I do. Sometimes it makes me a little stressed.

But today, enjoy CAPS LOCK. Use it a few times. Gently :) And enjoy some laughs below..

LUV, LINDSAY :)

so hot, so cool

First, I kept the pudding from yesterday in the fridge all night and it definitely thickened up. Ate it today for lunch and it wasn't too bad. I still like the instant pudding better. 


Happy National Sunglasses Day!

I think sunglasses are so much fun. I've only ever owned one pair at a time and the most I've ever spent on a pair is $10. These lovely shades from H&M didn't cost more than $7. I looked at some pairs that were over $200 and ADORABLE but couldn't get myself to pay that much. So I went from one extreme to the other!

Someday I want to own a pair of Tory Burch or Tiffany sunglasses. We'll see how long it takes me to have the courage to pay for them. 

I really like this outfit I wore today. The striped shirt was a little long for my body but I'm working on finding a better shirt length to layer. It's hard for me because I have a super short torso so I try to wear longer shirts to hide that but too long and it has the reverse affect. Any suggestions?

 I LOVE colored blazers. If I didn't live in Texas and it wasn't 100 degrees everyday I would definitely have more. I also haven't worn my hair curly like this in a LONG time so it was a fun change! Part of it is the difficulty with the humidity and I haven't had strong hairspray until just recently. It worked pretty well!

Can I just say I am really enjoying crispy, Costco grapes? Everyone should eat some. Southwest folks, I bring them almost every day and I'm happy to share.

In other good news, they fixed Shorecrest Drive so now, if I hit every green light, it can take less than 4 minutes to get from parking garage to parking lot at Southwest. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing.

Stay cool and wear some snazzy sunglasses today. But take them off inside or you'll just look silly.

Luv, Lindsay

P.S. Some more sunglasses pictures for your enjoyment.

pudding fail.

Remember the FIRST blog post I had published on Southwest's blog? I just posted the follow-up :) Click HERE to read the story of Gary in San Francisco. Writing for Southwest is super fun. I'm enjoying it.

Today is a super wonderful holiday . . National Chocolate Pudding Day!


I am a huge fan of the cheap, store bought chocolate pudding. Never fails. But today I got adventurous and made it from scratch. Unfortunately . . didn't work so great. It was more like a chocolate gravy. It tasted ok but wasn't the greatest texture.

The best way to make chocolate pudding is to mix a packet of chocolate pudding powder with a can of sweetened condensed milk and a small tub of whipped topping.

Now that's some awesome chocolate pudding, my friends. Next time.

Luv, Lindsay
