And by “love” I just mean love.
Unnecessary quotation marks are both annoying and hilariously confusing, as evidenced by The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks.
It’s “pretty funny.”
No, really it is.
I “love” this blog

The Ninety-Nine
You heard it here: I am definitely going to do this!
… after I finish the monstrous Potbelly sugar cookie I’m eating right now.
… and after I get back from vacation.
So you heard it here: I am definitely going to to this later!

Pumpkin Spice Latte season is NOW
At least in Chicago!
Apparently Chicago won some sort of weird contest, and as our prize, all the Starbucks (Starbuckses?) in the area have started selling Pumpkin Spice Lattes – a whole week earlier than the rest of the country!
This whole thing seems sort of dumb to me – who among us can’t wait a measly week to get our PSL fix? BUT, everyone who knows me is well aware that I stand powerless against the lure of this magically delicious drink (see item #1 in this list). So even though I’m NOT ready for the end of summer, and it’s going to be humid and over 90 degrees the next couple of days, I may just have to pop on over to the ‘bucks this week for an early taste of fall.
Then I’m going to go the beach, drink a frozen margarita and play volleyball or something because, dammit, it’s still SUMMER!

Sweet!
First, we got this good news about wine last week, and now my need to consume chocolate on a regular basis is also being justified!
“… researchers found that those who eat the most chocolate on a regular basis reduce their relative risk for heart disease by one-third.” – ABC 7 News, Chicago
It sure had been a good week for those of us with vices. Now I just need to find a study that proves that shoe shopping reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s Disease.
You need to know about this
Attention everyone over the age of 21 (and college kids (who am I kidding) and those of you in high school whose parents are the kind that say “It’s ok if you have a drink as long as it’s with us under our roof…”):
There is now cake-flavored vodka. Yes – cake vodka exists.
And I intend to try it using this recipe from Apartment #34.
No, not NOW. Sheesh, it’s 11:30 in the morning! I’ll have to wait another half hour or so…

Two obsessions
Obsession #1: San Pellegrino Limonata
This stuff is a serious party in your mouth. No wait, serious parties aren’t fun! This stuff is a crazy, wacky, raucous party in your mouth. Two words: liquid Lemonheads.
Obsession #2: Love&Toast Rose Sorbet Lip Butter
Best chapstick ever. Smooth, a little shiny, smells like roses, tastes like sorbet.
Lately I’ve been equally obsessed with both of these things. So obsessed that I drive by their houses at night to see if they’re home and dial their numbers only to hang up when I hear their voices.
Next phase: creepy notes made out of letters cut from newspapers and magazines.

Why not be a wino?
“A new Spanish study has found that people who drink wine in moderation are actually gaining less weight than the general popluation.” – Wine Spectator
I’ll cheers to that! I was going to splurge and buy a cookie at lunch today, so I guess I better drink an extra glass of wine tonight. Oh, the sacrifices we make to stay in shape…
Question: Does Boone’s Farm count as wine? Not that I drink that… anymore.
