IS THIS WHAT KIND OF THINGS NORMAL PEOPLE DO WHEN THEY WORK NORMAL HOURS AND AUTOMATICALLY WAKE UP EARLY/BEFORE 1PM?
We can all agree that the best flavor of Chobani Greek Yogurt is apple cinnamon, right?
Right.
Okay, good.

OMG THIS IS THE BEST THING I’VE EVER SEEN.
Facebook page here.
Article here.
I have been INHALING this Amy;s Baking Company fuckery for the last 24 hours and it is AMAZING in its craziness.
Some thoughts and also bullet points:
I just bought my dog a new bag of dog food.
It was $60.
SIXTY. DOLLARS.
It smells like fish.
Her breath is going to smell like dog breath and fish for the next…however long it takes her to go through this shit.
Gross.
I am going to be working for pretty much the next 48 hours with zero break and I am not not not looking forward to it.
This includes Mothers’ Day Brunch.

You see, we’ve come to define “social” in unintentional Orwellian double-speak....
– Teens aren’t abandoning “social.” They’re just using the word correctly.

That thing where you and your chef boyfriend go out to dinner and he knows the chef at the restaurant, and the chef proceeds to seat you at the chef’s table where you can see into the kitchen and then send you and your boyfriend TWELVE PLATES OF FOOD and then discount the crap out of them and your total bill is $30.
