Every life begins with hope.

I just watched a documentary on Nora Ephron which was super lovely.  If you ever saw You've Got Mail and loved it, or  if you like a funny, dreamy, Dorothy Parker quality person, it's up your alley.

So now, of course, i'm obsessing over Rom Coms and New York like it's my job. The idea of being a writer is SO romantic to me. 

Also, I literally wish my life was a romantic comedy. Currently, it's more comedy than it is romance, but someday my prince will come. I mean, maybe. 

Also, I'm really into my tumblr right now, which is the stupidest thing I've ever written out, but alas, i think it's the cutest. 

I have two lists stored in the "notes" section of my phone. Well, three , if you count the one that has exactly one thing on it: Salad Girl, Fig and Curry salad dressing, which as it turns out is one of my favorite salad dressings. 

You're welcome. 

Anyway one list I know for sure is book titles. I plan on reading like a BOSS this summer. The other one is a list of...well...what i can only assume are things that make me smile. It is the most random list in the universe. I can't even tell you when or why i made it.  I'd except this to a like....drunk list? I know it sounds weird, but I've totally done it...normally it's a combo of things I need to get from target (almost always conditioner and face wash), Celebrities on my "list" you know the kind of list i'm talking about (almost always Chris Pratt and Jimmy Fallon)  and bucket list items (Nashville, New York, write a book of essays). 

BUT i have not been drunk in a very, very long time....so...i can only imagine. I'm going to share said list with you because i'm not ready to go to bed yet, and I have nothing of real substance to say...so...here we go. In no particular order: 

1. Boys in white t-shirts and jeans 

2. Cab Sav and the way it dances on your tongue and makes you sour smile. 

3. The smell of a bonfire when it's cold 

4. The smell of liquor on someone's breath 

5. the smell of spring 

6. Boys with muscular arms in fitted t-shirts. 

7. Rita and Libby teaching me that good wine has "legs" 

And that's it. 7 things. basically bookended by boys in t-shirts. I plan on adding to it when the mood strikes so, i'll keep you updated, too. I'm sure you're waiting with bated breath. 

Nothing i do make any sense. 

Well, kids. It's spring. There are 38 school days left until summer. I am hopeful we'll all make it out alive.
