Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
1. So I’m thinking a trip to the Apple store might be in order…
Either that or investing in some quality duct tape. Eesh. I’ve actually never had any issues with any of the other cords to my laptop chargers, but I’ve been making more of an effort to spend more time working outside of my home lately, which means this cord has been seeing a lot more action lately, and apparently it doesn’t like to play rough. So if I disappear on you guys for a while, it’s either because: a) my laptop batteries finally bit the dust, or b) I electrocuted myself plugging it in. Hopefully neither one comes to fruition.
2. Actually, I could have picked one up the other day considering I was just in the mall, but I basically made a beeline to Sephora to pick up some First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream for my hands (told you I would!), and didn’t really think about going anywhere else. Random fact: I’m going through one of my “not a fan of shopping or malls” phases, and I seriously considered just ordering the cream online and waiting a week rather than having to pick it up. I know.
3. Speaking of random facts… remember when I used to include some of those in my ToL posts? I think it’s time to bring that back…
1. Someone please do this and tell me if it works!! Either that or another trip to Disney is in order.
2. Well… you’ve got to admit that was a pretty brilliant move…
3. Isn’t that why it’s better to eat with wooden utensils or chopsticks? The metal ones alter the taste of the food.
4. I definitely lol’d at this one. That just takes single and bitter to a whole new level. Comically so.
4. Another thing that seriously made me LOL? Seeing this sticker on someone’s rear window while I was out driving the other day…

I don’t really have anything against those stick families that people put on their windows, but typing “don’t care about your stick family” in Google definitely brought out some laughs.
5. So remember how I said that I’d been sleeping really well lately as a result of [what I think was] going to sleep way later? There might actually be some truth behind that theory. I tried going to sleep a little earlier the other day (10:30-ish), and I had the worst time falling/staying asleep. I tossed and turned for a good while before eventually drifting off, only to wake up a handful of times throughout the night. I’ll keep you posted after I run a few more trials 😛
6. You know how you sometimes get into the zone while you’re working out and end up doing more than what you originally planned to do? That happened to me while I was doing hill reps on the stationary bike the other day. I started out totally dragging me feet and wanting to quit after 5 minutes, and ended up getting a good solid 45 min ride in. Thank you endorphin high?
7. Orrrrrr it might have just been the fact that I kind of got distracted with writing out the entirety of yesterday’s chocolate smoothie post in the ‘notes’ of my iPhone. Multitasking at it’s finest, my friends. And you gotta go with it whenever the inspiration hits. Better at the gym than in the shower…
8. Wanting this [Urban Decay Naked Smoky Eyeshadow Palette]…

9. Listening to this [Over the Edge – Manafest]…

I want a gold spoon. Scratch that, I want a champagne colored spoon. It’ll make me feel all sassy while eating.
Also, you need electrical tape for that cord. It’s black and you can get it at the hardware store or I’ll lend you some when you’re in town next month. The joys of home ownership means I know what this is and I actually own it. 🙂
I want a rose gold coloured spoon. BAM. And… confession… I totally pulled the “daddy, fix it!” card when I was over at my parents’ this weekend. I’m now the proud owner of an electrical tape taped Macbook charger
I want the new Urban Decay pallet so bad!
My brain just exploded with a full-blown conversation I’d love to have about pretty much everything part of this post! So I’m just going to ramble on and go with it. My charger is still in tact (thankfully) for my Mac, but I feel my MacBook itself is ready to be done with me. I’m blaming it on too many photos and not knowing how to organize – any suggestions?! I’ve been pretty against malls for awhile, and I’m totally fine with it. Yahoo for saving money! On the fun facts: I want that job (as long as I could digest dairy again) and I lol’d on the Chinese movie theater as well. I’ve never thought about using my notes app for when inspiration hits – duh! Hahah. Lastly…the Naked eye palette looks so dreamy!
I actually keep all of my pictures on USB sticks. That way they’re not taking up room on my computer and I never have to worry about losing them if my harddrive were to crash.
I think I might start doing that. This photo business is getting a little crazy…
I’ve been having such awful sleep lately! I don’t know if it’s srress related or what, but according to my fitbit, I’m restless an average of like 8-9 times a night. Ughhh needs to stop.
And definitely trying that disney thing! I’m sure I’ll make my way back down there eventually…
Wooden spoons would be even less appropriate for taste testing because they retain smells, flavours, everything. I cook with wooden utensils and I get really annoyed when I decide to make something sweet and the spoon I’ve picked for stirring smells like ham or lentil stew or whatever so I can’t really say how the stuff I’m cooking tastes.
Ooo that’s a good point, actually. The same thing happens to me when I use silicone spatulas. I have to have a separate one for sweet and savoury dishes because they tend to hold tastes as well.
Actually laughing like an idiot right now.
PICTURE HERE.
That’s what I do too! Also..online shopping > going out. Laziness FTW.
I find that when I try to go to bed early, I end up tossing and turning, and I never sleep well! But when I allow my body to sleep when it’s ready, I get a good night’s rest! The struggle is real! Lol!
I’m glad I’m not the only one!
How to become an ice cream taste tester?! Lol
I agree with your sleeping schedule. I sleep awful (it’s also really hot in san diego right now) if I go to bed before 10:30. But if I wait until 11:30 it’s smooth sailing!
I hear you – I am in a don’t shop at the mall phase too – but, my daughter works there and sometimes, I take her and pick her up! What’s really ironic is I have always said I cannot stand Doc offices or malls and she ends up getting a job at a mall and says that she wants to be a doctor!?!?! Whaaaaaaaat???
I gotta check out OMG facts – because that one about the prisoner – yes – that’s just brilliant!
Happy Thursday Lady – hope you get a new cord before option 2 happens! xx
My dentist actually became a dentist because she was terrified of them as a little kid. It’s kind of crazy how life ends up working out…
I have that quote framed on my bedroom wall! Love it!!
I’m so sorry about your charger! That happened to my Mac charger last month. I kind of fixed it with copious amounts of electrical tape, but after a few weeks there was no saving it and it was officially broken. I hope duct tape can save yours for longer!
Haha I HAAAAATE going to the mall too. I get over stimulated and can’t focus on my mission when there’s too many people and loud music around.
Online shopping is definitely the way to go!
I love Urban Decay. They are my favorite eye makeup ever. Now I have to check out that palette…like I don’t have enough!
Right?! Especially since I have the other 3 and only managed to hit pan on a few shades 😆
Haha OMG those random facts are the best! I really hope that they’re true…that last one made me choke on my tea LOL!
And um yeah, I think you need a new mac charger…I’ve never seen one that bad!
My question is… how did they manage to find a completely empty movie theatre to do that in?! Like were they stalking a midnight release before anyone else could get their hands on a ticket?
The same thing has happened to my Mac charger, and now there are multiple areas where it is laced with tape to prevent further damage. The concept has also spread to my headphones, as they do funky things sometimes when I try to listen to anything. I also LOVE urban decay, and use their eyeshadows on a daily basis <3.
I am in love with Grumpy Cat and those stick figure families are so annoying! Happy almost Friday!
I missed those random facts! But the “Andy’s coming!” is no longer true. Too many people were informed of the tip that it left the Toy Story characters constantly dropping and they never got their work accomplished. Bummer right?! people still try to get them to do something though.
Aww! And here I was hoping that I could try it the next time I was there. I can definitely see how it would have gotten annoying for the people who were doing it, though. Eep.
Those eye shadows look like all of my FAVOURITE colours!!!
