My Mighty Life List
Two things you need to know about this list:
1. It's no exactly a "life" list. It's a "before I turn 30" list. I just used this title because...
2. ...I am a thief. The list is more of a combination of ideas from this Mighty Girl post and this post from Making It Lovely. As someone who spends a lot of time on the internet because their job involves a lot of sitting around, I'm able to find sources of inspiration from lots of different places. And these are two of them. I won't lie, some of the things on this list might be...ahem...*borrowed* from Maggie and Nicole.

BULLS#!T
Okay J.Crew.
I get it.
I get that every time you guys have a corporate meeting, priority numero uno is: "how can we make Molly's life suck exponentially more?"
A veritable gaggle of cashmere sweaters in new colors?
Maybe.
Seductive, feather-light silk shells that work under cardigans and blazers?
Slightly painful.
Creating a line of breathtaking wedding apparel when I have no need for such a thing?
Torture.
But this?
This latest stunt of yours?
Hilarious.

Hilarious.
And not so much in a funny "ha ha ha" kind of way.
More like a funny "stab stab stab" way.
Seriously, J.Crew.
Making your factory store available ONLINE?
A bounty of beautifully constructed and moderately-priced classic fashion at my fingertips?
That's just low.
Even if it IS only on the weekends.
My bank account and I do not approve.

Totally Normal...?
Five things about me that might be a little strange.
1. I crack my toes constantly. Like, my life will not continue unless I can bend my toes an experience the unparalleled satisfaction of the pop! and relief that subsequently occurs. That's how vital it is to my existence. And if someone else cracks my toes for me? Well let's just say that after that, they don't even have to buy me dinner.
2. I chew gum. All the time. I think I'm paranoid about my breath. Trust me, I'm no oral hygiene slouch: I carry a toothbrush with me at all times. My job necessitates a very close proximity to others, and as such I am inclined to err on the side of caution. I'm up to about a half a pack a day. Do they make a patch for people like me?
3. My underwear and bra must always match.
4. Sometimes when I am in a crowded place and I see someone who has a made a poor fashion choice for the day, I make them over in my head (What Not To Wear-style). I do the same thing with people's eyebrows. I've embarrassed my sister more than once by going up to random strangers and saying, "so, when was the last time someone tried to tame that face-jungle of yours?"
5. I thoroughly enjoy extracting crap from people's faces. I'm just going to leave it at that.
I hereby tag Lizzie, Molly Beth, and Sally.
Go on.
Let your Freak Flag fly.

All kinds of greatness
Eastbound and Down. It's baaaacccck.
This article. I have a totally ridiculous love for animals who adopt other animals. Especially when they are not of their species.
I really love this necklace. And pretty much everything else on the website.
Thinking that it's probably time to get myself some new, fun office supplies. You know. For my office.
Who wants to see It's Kind of a Funny Story with me? Because it looks pretty awesome. And I'm a pretty big fan of Zach G.
Someone explain to me why I have yet to read this book.
