Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
1. I must have a sign written on me that says: “Hey! Come sit with me!” because I’m running 3 days in a row now where people have asked to share my booth in Starbucks. In fact, as we speak there’s a gentleman sitting across from me that I did not come here with and that I do not know. Yesterday it was a lady with a stack of books, and the day before that, an older man with a newspaper crossword. At least today’s uninvited guest offered to buy me a coffee… which I didn’t accept because I already had one, but it’s the thought that counts.
#sneakyselfie
2. Can we talk about how awkward and ridiculous toes feel when they’re not painted? I can go without painting my fingernails, but my toes always have to have a pop of colour on them otherwise they won’t see the light of day. I wanted to wear flip-flops the other day, but I had taken off my polish the night before without putting on a new coat. Needless to say, I stuffed my feet into socks and sneakers.
3. Speaking of nail polish… I somehow overlooked my right thumb when I was taking off my polish the other day, and didn’t even notice until the end of the day. This is like the time I almost walked out of the house with only one pair of eyelashes painted. I’m a lost cause.
4. I’m also prone to random bouts of boredom, which cause me to do strange things. In one of my latest ones, I spent some time typing the beginning of random questions into the Google search bar to see what popped up. Here are some of my favourites…
5. But the real question I have to ask is why the heck has comment spam been so insane lately?!
6. So I went to the store to buy crispy rice cereal and came home with all this…
#storyofmylife
7. … but it was more than worth it because I needed another batch of rice krispie treats in my life, stat…
8. I also need an effective way to wage war on the fruit flies that have started infiltrating my kitchen. I love the warmer weather, but I’m not a fan of the little flies that attack my bananas and seem to spawn from thin air.
9. And because it wouldn’t be a random post without some random facts, voila…
1. I should probably be upset with them for being sneaky, but instead I really want to know where I can find some.
2. This is a perfect example of one of those things that CAN be done, but should NOT be done.
3. … which makes me lose a little more faith in humanity as a whole.
4. Can you even imagine going to sleep at night and waking up the next morning $4 million richer? I can’t…
5. Amen.

#4 – Hahahaha – that’s too funny – still better than some of the questions my daughter has asked Siri! Gah #6 happens to me just about all the time I go into a Trader Joes! I think I need blinders on when I go into that store! And #9 random fact #1 (uber fact) now if only they would make that air freshener available to the public…
Happy Thursday Lovely lady!
I had some other real winning questions, but I try to keep things PG on the blog 😆
I feel the same way about my toes! I seriously can’t remember the last time they went polish-less… Theres just something about it that doesn’t look right! I’m not okay with it lol. – I don’t know anything to get rid of fruit flies specifically but my family has gotten ants buttons before to put in the cupboards I wonder if they have something similar for fruit flies? – Those random searches are just great! I got a chuckle out of them. I’ve never done it on purpose but I always scan when I am typing! Have a great day!
Has your hair got lighter or is that the sun shining on it? Either way it looks really pretty!
I cannot believe twerk has been added to the dictionary – what is this world coming to?
I am so the same re 6 – go in for cinnamon – buy so much stuff.
As for coffee air freshener there is a Supermarket here called Sainsburys and I swear they pump the bakery smell around the shop and out onto the streets – smells insane!
Just the sun shining on it 🙂 Although it probably does get a few shades lighter in the summer!
If I came to that starbucks and I wanted your seat, I’d just swing by with a peanut butter jar.
I thought my spam was bad…yours…another damn world. Twerk it out.
I’d throw a cat at you.
Ha! I always suspected Starbucks – and many other similar stores – to do that. It’s the reason why Subway [where I used to work] places their ovens close to the doors so the scent of the freshly baked bread lures hungry people in. I still walk past the store I worked in every day and yes, it’s enticing.
And yes, fruit flies. I was working on a new ‘currently’ post and they are the bane of my existence right now. Along with… ants. Ugh. I think these are even worse because they don’t just stay in the kitchen. However, one of the upsides of the nasty weather we’re experiencing right now is the disappearance of the little buggers.
About #3: the reverse thing happened to me the last time I painted my nails. For whichever reason I forgot my right ring finger. Luckily in the evening so I still had time to remedy the situation the next morning when I noticed.
Happy Thursday!
I try to limit grocery trips and if I need just a couple of things I wait, because stopping for 1 thing always leads to 20 and then I just run out of something else the next day! And fruit flies in warm weather are gross and bother me as well!
Ok so those questions made me laugh.. Is it murder if it’s on the moon? and why do I fart so much? (My dad might actually ask that..) My parents have become major “google askers” but those questions are hilarious+ Oh and the cereal eating one, that meme is hilarious!
And yes, I am kind of disappointed that derp is in the dictionary.. twerk and selfie have been used so much I can slowly understand wanting to add it so the notorious squiggly line doesn’t appear, but derp?!
I cannot recall the last time my nails on either my fingers or my toes went without polish for more than the amount of time it takes for the manicurist to do the manicure and pedicure. I know they say your nails should breathe but since I never notice any yellowing of the nail, I just keep on polishing.
I notice mine staining sometimes, but it usually only happens if I wear an orange or red based polish. Weird… and nasty looking 😆
Some of these had me giggling to myself behind my computer screen! The first one about random people coming and sitting with you was one of them. I also agree on the nail thing. Nails can be chipping, completely bare, look totally awful, but my toenails must be manicured…always. I think it’s because feet and toes are ugly enough as so as it is. I enjoyed reading this post 🙂
Well I would burn a coffee scented candle so I guess the air fresher isn’t so bad! Also you are in starbucks anyway if you smell it so you are probably sitting with some coffee based drink! Now if they blasted the smell outside then there may be something wrong with that!
Also that google search bar made me worry and also a bit sad – I can’t believe some people are searching for those things! Although eating imaginary cereal made me laugh out loud! 🙂
I feel the same about toenail polish. They must be painted if they are exposed. This is also due to the fact that I have “runners” feet and don’t even have all of my toenails, so I must paint fake toenails on hehe. Happy Thursday, Amanda!
I cannot stand to have naked toes! If they aren’t painted, they do not see the light of day.
I’d happily share my Starbucks booth for free coffee…priorities right ;)! I couldn’t agree more about toenails- I rarely paint my nails (even when I go for manicures) but I just can’t go naked on the toenails. Right now I have red on but I’m thinking I might change them to a hot pink in honor of summer! I feel like toenails & trainers are one of the few things I can get away wearing neon/totally bright…haha gosh I’m random today ;)!
Did you ever rock bright neon jackets/pants when you were growing up in the 90’s? ‘Cause I know I did! Along with scrunchies 😆
My toes always have to be painted too! But never my finger nails!
I have been getting gallons of spam too, but just on this one old post. Very annoying!
Thank goodness dwerp is in the dictionary because I guess I’ve got to look that one up.
People probably want to sit with you because you’re so darn pretty. 🙂 Yay for free coffee!
I think it’s time you get the “you can’t sit with us!” shirt and start wearing it to Starbucks 😉 haha
That would be perfect! Except for the fact that I’m usually sitting alone so the “us” part would make it seem like I have multiple personalities or something 😆
That might just scare them off so you’ll get the table to yourself! 😉
STOP #4 lololol my college roommate and I did that for a solid hour once–I was peeing my pants. Oh, and toenails without polish….terrible. Mine haaaave to be painted at all times.
Hehe! I am thinking back to the nail polish one….especially with my gross runners feet, I definitely do not feel right without some kind of nail polish on there. Coral is my favorite at the moment. Loving the uber facts as always!
I am going today to hunt down some puffed rice to make your crispy bars. < mainly because my husband just consumed an entire ($5 dollar) box of prepackaged ones in one sitting. I told him we needed to make them on our own. 🙂
I don't always have to have my toes painted. But! When I do paint them…it stays on FOREVER! Seriously. My finger nails will only last…1 day. Toe nails? A month.
Now I want to paint my toes 🙂
Happy Thursday!!
HAHA I was just explaining to my fiancé what you said about unpainted toes!!!!!!!!! oh I feel ya girl!!!!!!!!!!
I think I also have that face. I will be standing at the bus and people will always come up and talk to me, but about very personal matters. I am never 100% sure how to… address the issues that they present to me O.o. I also do that on Google – the things people search terrifies me!! But I kinda like it
lovely post girl xo
YES to the toe nail polish. I took mine off last night and I feel so naked. Must paint, stat! What the hell… twerk cannot be in the dictionary. That’s just not right.. hahah
LMAO when I get excited I eat invisible cereal…..that just made my day
Right?!?! 😆 Like what the heck?! Apparently it’s a pretty popular meme that’s been going around.
Was it crowded in the Starbucks? I find it interesting people just came and sat with you…each to their own though.
I cannot deal with unpainted nails either. It just weirds and grosses me out.
It was pretty crowded, yah, so I guess I can understand. But there were still other people sitting alone in their booths!
Oh my gosh, the spam has been NUTS on my blog lately too. It’s driving me crazy!!
I have to have my toes painted, too. Some people think I’m crazy for keeping up with them during the winter, but it’s just me. Won’t be changing anytime soon, ha. Have you heard about the coffee order at Starbucks that was $54? I feel like this is some random info you’d like to know 🙂 haha It was like 60 espresso shots or something. best thing is that it was free because he is a gold member and he chose that as his free drink. Smart guy…
My mom was actually telling me about that the other day, and omigosh I can’t even imagine. Is that even safe? Like… wouldn’t that much caffeine kill you? 😆
So you can rest assured that the coffee scent from Starbucks IS actually coffee – unless they do thing differently in Canada. I used to work for the company and we were actually not allowed to wear anything scented because it could “interfere” with the coffee smell. And all their high powered ovens in the independently standing stores (as in no the ones in bookstores and Targets etc.) are all designed to keep as much of the food smell inside the oven rather than let it out into the air. Anyway, the company does as much as it can to let the coffee smell be the predominant smell in the cafes! It would, however, be nice to find a candle that could replicate it so well! And as far as your table companions go – have you tried going dressed in your pjamas or less “together” shall we say? I’d be curious if you get as many companions if you looked more disheveled. Or maybe start talking to yourself out loud and see if that scared them away. Ha ha. I say it’s people experiment time!
I hear ya on the toes thing but I never paint my fingernails. I think the only time I got a manicure was my wedding day … .like 5 years ago! Do the people at Starbucks at least leave you alone and let you work?
They do, yeah, but I still can’t help but feeling a little cramped, ya know? It’s like a total invasion of personal space!
My question is, were you actively trying to kill them with you r scariness? Or was it just your face? whompwhoooommp
I once heard that if Bill Gates stumbled upon a $100 bill while walking along, it wouldn’t be worth his time to stop and pick it up, because he makes more in that teeny short amount of time. Crazy!
…..you mean I shouldn’t make you blood meringue next week? Fine, I guess…. :-p
I legit cannot stop laughing at the ‘is it murder if’. I dunno about the moon one though, I guess there’s no laws up there?
And YES on the spam thing, I’ve given up trying to peek through it for legit comments that got spammed. So weird.
And thank you for the reminder to paint my toes – must get on that soon.
“When I get excited I eat invisible cereal”, yes this is a habit I often fall into…?!?!
So with you on the naked toes, it’s almost like going out without a top!!
They may be sitting with you, but at least they don’t sound like complete creepes. They could try playing footsies with you & starring at all the wrong areas… if you know what I mean. GROSS!
When it comes to your spam, I had to uninstall my spam plugin and reinstall it. Havent had a problem since 🙂
True story with the footsies! Although sometimes they do end up accidentally nudging me, and it’s like.. whoa 😯 And I’ve had someone else mention the spam plugin… might have to try that.
The same thing happens to me every time I go to Whole Foods to pick up one thing. $80 later I’m walking out with a bag of goodies which usually includes a $10 juice and a $17 salad. God, I’m a sucker!
I am in need of money so I plan to go into business selling invisible cereal to excited people. I figure my expenses will be low so there will be a pretty high profit margin…
😆 That’s just brilliant.
HAHA, “Why do I fart so much?!” Sorry, the juvenile in me thinks that’s HILARIOUS.
I need to buy that brand of dates. They look so great! And I can’t find them anywhere. Thoughts?
Also, I blogged about your Rice Krispies recipe. I need to make it. I’m dyyying for them!
And can I be Bill Gates for a day? Ok thanks 🙂
Awwr girl I have no idea — sorry! I just find them in my regular grocery store, and thank goodness because they’re one of the few brands that don’t contain traces of nuts!
I need another shot of the hair! Is it just the lack of sleep or am I really seeing a new gorgeous shade? That could be a factor – like flies to honey. Or is it bees to nectar!?
Since we are celebrating randomness: why did I never dunk frozen banana into nut butter AND chocolate chips before right now!? Mind blowing 😀 .
Hehe I think it’s just the way the sun was shining through the window — my hair is still a dark brown. Although it does get a few shades lighter in the summer!
I’ve never been to Starbucks, never had coffee … and I actually do NOT like the smell at all. I know I’m in the minority here 🙂
I have no color confidence … not with clothes, lipstick, or even polish on toes. I will do them up, but still keep them pretty subdued. Then really need a little something right now! I live in bare feet & sandals, regardless of how my toes look. I can’t stand wearing sneakers unless absolutely necessary.
I guess that’s the benefits of having a baby blog … no problems with spam at all! 🙂
I have the same problem with people wanting to sit with me. I don’t usually mind but some days you just want a break. That’s nice that today’s guest offered coffee, though!
This is so funny—I wrote about nail polish today too! Totally agree with what you said about not having polish on your toes. Now that you mention it, I literally can’t remember a time when I didn’t have some color on there. Weird.
WHY ARE YOU GOOGLING ABOUT MURDER?!?!?! Should I be concerned? Should I call the cops?!?! What is going on Spoons?!?
Ugh, fruit flies! The dorm I lived in during my second year of college had an infestation of them – it was gross! I wish I had some tips for getting rid of them – but swatting at them will get easier with time!
#4 is hilarious. I will definitely need to do that sometime. And those popchips – yum! How can someone not eat the whole bag at once?
That’s funny about Starbucks! The same stuff happens to me and it’s always a really old man. Then he hits on me which is weird. I always wonder why it isn’t a younger cute guy.
😆 And here I was thinking I was the only one who had that kind of bad luck…
Found you listed on another blogs linkups and just LOVE your blog! I could stay all day!
Aww well thanks Lindsay! That’s super sweet of ya 😀
So, I am the exact. same. with toes. I literally went 1+ year without painting my nails, but my toes have not seen the light of day since maaaaaaybe grade seven? I think it’s mostly because my feet are just so ugly that I have to redeem them somehow. 😉
My spam has been unreal too…I always just delete them all individually. Are you telling me that there is a way to NOT?!
I have to have my toes painted too, it’s just too weird for me. I always seem to go to the store for one thing and leave with 5! haha. happy almost weekend!
Can we talk about how beautiful that “sneaky selfie” is? Seriously. Teach me your ways. Oh and could I go to sleep and wake up with 4 million? That would be quite nice!
Oh girl, don’t EVEN! You’re gorgeous!
I am the same exact way with toenail polish! I can’t stand it for some reason but I never want to paint them haha it is a love hate relationship!
Haha those google questions kill me! I also like reading through my spam folder on occasion because there are some really funny ones.
Sometimes I wonder why I don’t make $4 million in my sleep. I should’ve majored in computer science in college instead of communications!
How weird is it to sit with a stranger in your booth? Do they try to talk to you? I am terrible and would probably be annoyed because when I go to a coffee shop to work..I’m there to work.
Going to the store for one thing has never EVER worked for me! Especially going to Target!! I come out with nailpolish and a new workout clothes when I go for bread. Ha.
PS I get to see you at blend next week!!
Thankfully they leave me alone for the most part, but it still feels a little cramped, ya know? And omigosh I can’t even believe it’s one week away. Can.not.WAIT.
PS – be prepared for a rib crusher — this girl’s a hugger!
Have you seen the picture of the excited guy eating invisible cereal?? I love it!!
My Mom sells this scented wax stuff (similar to Scentsy) that has a coffee scent; unfortunately it smells more like used Folgers grinds than any Starbucks I’ve ever smelled. :/ womp.
I have! 😆 I had to click on it because I honestly couldn’t believe it was a search term. Freaking laughed for a good 10 minutes.
Those coffee shops are just smart cookies. And that is odd that all those people seem to keep sitting with you. I would be looking for a sign on the booth that says something like, “Two people must sit here”. And you should try sitting somewhere else, just to see if they try to sit with you. Maybe a lot of people just really like the booth you’re in :). And it still amazes me the words they put into the dictionary *sigh*.
You can cover your bananas with a dish cloth to get rid of/avoid those fruit flies!
You can buy fruit fly traps – they really work! I think there is some other method, too, but I forget what it is off the top of my head….
A friend of mine got Venus Fly Traps — they were kind of cool, not going to lie!
You should look at all of your booth visitors as a good thing! Obviously, you have a great aura about you which makes people feel they are comfortable asking to share a seat with you :o)
I just had the toe nail polish dilemma last week when it FINALLY got warm enough to wear flops. Then, I talked my mom into getting her FIRST ever pedicure. Lets just say she couldn’t stop talking about how great she felt… I believe we’ll be back for more ;o)
Confession: I’ve never had a pedicure 😳 And… do you wanna share a booth with me?!?!?! 😀
haha!! Oh Amanda…I SOOOOOOOOOOO hear you about the stranger-danger!! No matter where on this planet I go, strangers approach me!! We must give off a good vibe…
Second, I laughed right out loud at your search questions!! hahahahaha!! “Why does my…pee stink” LMAOOOOO omg that will stay with me for a while!!
😆 Maybe they’ve been eating too much asparagus 😆
I never go without nail polish on my toes. Not even during the winter. It bugs me too much to even go without it for a day!
You must have a warm and friendly glow about you that makes people feel comfortable sharing space with you! And I have those same exact Chia seeds!
That fact about blood and egg whites…EW! This is a great T.O.L.
hahah I LOVE seeing what comes up in the google search bar.. always entertaining.. Also.. not a fan of when people sit by me and want to start having a conversation, unless that is I am in the mood too lolol 🙂
Haha, I feel the same way about painted toes! It’s just so awkward for me to walk outside with flip flops or sandals when my toes aren’t painted! However, I dislike painting them to due to laziness! lol. Oh the irony!!
I am way obsessed with having my tonails painted. I feel like my feet look like man feet without pretty toenails so I dont dare wear sandals without some polish.
Omg….those Google searches!!
YES to the unpainted toenails! I will not show my feet without painted nails either … but I hardly ever paint my fingernails. I guess it has something to do with the fact that I’m not really a huge fan of feet to begin with.
I’m really going to have to try your rice krispie treats recipe … I’ve been craving those things like MAD for a while now, but I’m just too lazy to go out and get the ingredients. Also … I hate the marshmallow stickiness that’s left in the pot when I’m done. Yours on the other hand? No sticky marshmallow mess and peanut butter is involved? Count. me. in.
I’m not a huge fan of feet either — they skeeve me out. And I love that polish seems to stay on them FOREVER, whereas it chips in about an hour when I wear it on my fingers 😡
I don’t think my toe nails have ever NOT been polished. They just look so….wrong when they are naked. My hands have to go a good chunk of time because I have such brittle nails, but my toes? Never NOT painted!
Oh my goodness…if you ever find a solution to number 8, you have to let us know. Seriously how do fruit flies just appear out of nowhere like that?!
You probably have a really friendly, open aura! People pick up on that.
Also? You’re pretty. (0:
I think that helps a lot too. Or hinders? LOL.
That’s so weird that people ask to sit next to you in starbucks… I usually will avoid that at all costs unless there’s no other seating available. Just call me antisocial, but hey, I like to enjoy my lattes in peace! Also, looking gorgeous! Did you dye your hair? It looks lighter than usual :). And story of my life with your trip to the grocery store. every. single. time. I’ll make a list and then completely stray away from it because those 5 million jars of nut butter look so good and hey, that’s a new brand of cereal! Must eat!
Going of the Bill Gates fun fact, I read somewhere that if there was a 5,000 dollar bill on the ground he would actually LOSE money by picking it up since he would lose those 3 seconds of his time… hmm
Aww thanks love! And nope — hair is still dark brown. I think that’s just the magic of too much light coming in from the window and a crappy macbook camera.
HAHAHA love those google questions. I do that to cure boredom sometimes, as well. I especially love the third one. And don’t even get me started on those fruit flies – they are EVERYWHERE. Where do they come from?!
I must be one of the suckers that falls for the coffee scented air fresheners. Oh well, it’s aromatherapy at it’s finest 🙂
I’m not sure when I’ve actually gone to a grocery store and ONLY walked out with what I needed to get. Maybe once when picking up bananas. Something else always catches my eye.
Some of the things that pop up as I’m searching on google can be kind of scary. Seriously.
Hahaha, oh my goodness those search results…and those are THE MOST SEARCHED – like how many people eat invisible cereal when they’re excited? Or want to murder someone on the moon/their clone. I didn’t even realize that many people had clones 😉
I should start reading your Thursday posts before I begin my own, I feel a lot more light hearted after a fun read instead of after my morning work meeting!!!
The invisible cereal one is actually a pretty hilarious meme that’s been going around — I definitely recommend looking it up if you want a good laugh 🙂
lmao! Those google pics are awesome, it’s so funny the stuff that pops up sometimes. Makes me wonder why these things are even on the net. lol!
p.s. Super cute selfie! xx
remind me to snuggle up against you in a starbucks booth at blend. hehe
Have you ever made your coffee and forgot to add the water? The sad part is I always prepare my coffee the night before and the fact that I forgot the water then is pretty sad. I guess it shows how tired I am after a long day of work. Oh well!
Seriously?! “is it murder if you kill ur clone” is really a frequent search?? lmao to funny!
That is a lot of spam!! I’ve been avoiding my chipped toenails for a week now….this just gave me the reminder I needed. Painting those babies tonight!
Holy spam…how annoying!
At least you remembered the rice crisps at the store! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone for one single item and left with everything but…
And I’ve had people ask to share my table at Starbucks quite a few times too. Like, it’s awkward…but what am I going to say? No?
xo
😆 I know, right?! I always -DO- want to say no, but I don’t want to feel like a jerk… especially if there’s nowhere else to sit.
Ummm….bloody meringue – gross. However, not wanting to deal with the drama – heck yes! And that’s weird that people want to invade your booth. I mean, I have no doubt you’re great company and probably look very nice and inviting, but still…
spam is the worst!
those google searches…they are so depressing! haha
so funny about your starbucks encounters. is it just really busy with no open seats? in that case- that is not so weird but if there is another open seat…. why the heck are u sitting with me lol
Yeaaaah it’s usually pretty busy, which is why I don’t say no — I’d kind of feel like a jerk!
So do you think the invisible cereal eaters drink their cereal milk or throw it out? : p
😆 I think they just keep adding more cereal 😉
Unpainted toe nails give me the heebie jeebies too, even though I’ve worn open-toed shoes with them before myself. But there comes a time when a dancer’s toes are just too ugly for eyes to see.
I must guard my bananas against the dreaded fruit flies as well…one of the worst parts about summer.
Who is searching for getting excited and eating invisible cereal!? Who even thinks to search for something like that!
I think worse than the unpainted toes for me is when I have a black toe nail. I need to keep dark purple polish on my toes for months because it takes forever to grow out/fall off.
I ended up following up on that one because, yeah, I had no idea either… and it turns out that it’s actually a pretty hilarious meme that’s been floating around. Definitely check it out if you want a good laugh 🙂
I think I can help you with your fruit fly situation!!! I had a nasty infestation last summer (the guy who was subletting my apartment thought it was okay to leave bananas out until they turned black) and this totally did the trick. Pretty much you just take a cup, add some apple cider vinegar, a few drops of dish soap, and just leave it on your counter. The flies just dive right on in! I put a couple out around my house and within 2 days the fruit flies were all gone!!

Thanks for the tip, Coco! I was wondering how effective those homemade traps were, and I’m definitely going to be trying it out!
OMFG AGREED ABOUT THE COMMENT SPAM! What’s driving me annoying is that a lot of going into my PENDING section! I don’t care about Hair Growth Formulas and Penis Enlargements! LOL!
I also couldn’t agree with you more about naked toe nails! Super awkward. I cannot go without colors on my little piggies!
My Spam has been out of control too lately. I don’t have 17,000, but I’m getting several hundred a day which was way more than usual. It’s also a pain in my arse to go through them all.
Pour some apple cider vinegar and a smidgeon of dish soup in a glass and place it by the bananas. It’ll take a day or two, but it’ll solve the fruit fly problem. I pretty much have a jar of this on m counters all summer long. Between the bananas and my CSA produce it’s a necessity.
I’m lactose intolerant, but thankfully no allergies! And I’ve been flying looooong distances (think 12 hour flights) since I was 4 due to my dad’s job, so flying is second hand to me. 😉
