So I Tried This Recipe For Lemon Cookies Today, Because I Love Lemons And It Seemed Like A Fun Thing
So I tried this recipe for lemon cookies today, because I love lemons and it seemed like a fun thing to do for the beginning of summer. It was really good! As advertised, they are very soft and chewy (and delicious).
It takes a little while, particularly if you don’t have any lemon zest on hand, but they’re cookies worth making if you have some time to spare.
(Actually, though, the recipe calls for two whole tablespoons of lemon zest! I didn’t have enough lemons for that, so after I’d taken all the zest from four lemons I stopped and just used what I had. So my cookies are probably not quite as lemony as the original, but they’re still good.)
I had them with my family with a dusting of sugar on top and some chilled blueberry-lavender tea!

it’s not really a substitute for actually brushing your teeth but sometimes when I can’t brush my teeth one night/morning for whatever reason, I put some toothpaste in my mouth with some water and swish it around as best I can. I wouldn’t suggest doing it too often; always brush your teeth whenever you can!; but this is at least something.
“if you can’t brush your teeth that’s fine uwu one step at a time” posts are supportive and that’s great but I’m about to have a 4.4k$ dental bill because I wasn’t taking care of my teeth when I was super depressed so uhh brush your fuckin teeth

one time I was in new york city and I walked into a random store at 7pm and I saw someone that looked familiar, but I thought, no way. but then we were in the same aisle and he looked at me the same way I looked at him, like, ‘I know you’. it took us a moment to recognize each other since it had been a few years but we were friends in my freshman year of college.
when I was a teenager I made some friends on a cruise and the night before the cruise ended I realized I hadn’t gotten their contact info, so I spent a while scouring the decks for them, and didn’t succeed. two days later I figured I would never see them again, and then we ran into each other in a market in Athens. in a city of more than half a million people, we happened to cross paths.
as a kid I had a friend, and then our moms met and recognized each other - turned out she and I had gone to the same daycare, and had even had little playdates as one-year-olds.
these things never cease to amaze me.
excuse me if this makes very little sense as i have been drinking and it is almost eleven pm on a wednesday but today i walked into my favourite cafe and the frenchman who makes my coffee, didier, told me about how he had just discovered that the woman who had left as I came in happened to live on the same street as his brother, “isn’t the world remarkable?” he said to me. I laughed, “don’t you wonder about how many people you meet on a daily basis that you have something in common with without realising?”
Tonight I had beers with a couple of guys, they were old friends. “How long have you known each other?” I asked. They laughed, “guess!” Turns our they shared a wetnurse, a connection their mothers didn’t discover until they became friends years later.
As I walked to the train I texted my housemate to ask where she was, if she wanted to meet up before we headed home. Suddenly I heard my name called as she ran across the station towards me. “Oh how strange, I just messaged you!”
Sometimes the world feels very large and our differences seem unbridgeable. Other days we run into one another over and over again, and I am glad to recognise friends.
apparently, people in the US do not use the word ‘cupboard’

SO I designed this osprey pattern for a stained glass piece, but I cannot for the life of me decide on a color scheme. Thoughts, anyone?
(And by the way, if it occurs to anyone, my profile picture is indeed a stained glass piece that I designed and made myself.)
(Also an osprey is my patronus on pottermore so if I’m being entirely honest that’s what inspired this lol)
Weeks? It’s been like 8 months.

So,,, at work today I was chatting with this customer, a lady who had her two young daughters with her (8 months and 4 years), and partway into our conversation I realized she was talking to me like I was a fellow mom. Saying like, ‘you know how they are at that age when so and so’. She legit somehow assumed I was old enough to have children of my own, and seemed kind of surprised when it became clear that I did not, in fact, have kids.
I couldn’t figure out how to tell her that I am a Teenager.
