Small Potatoes

1. Sous Chef and I are having dinner right now at Bean and Burgundy. Because apparently, we cannot get enough of this place. It's nice to be able to enjoy a glass of wine and nibble on treats like kimchi cheese fries while working on your MacBook.

2. Is it totally pretentious that I mentioned I'm working on a MacBook? I hope not. I'm not a total Apple Whore; I own an Android smartphone and I still know my way around the intimate areas of a PC. I swear.

3. I am realizing more and more often lately that I am not "young" anymore. I don't fit in quite yet with the middle-aged crowd, yet I am certainly not an irresponsible twenty-something anymore. I'm like a weird hybrid - I enjoy indulging in a deep red glass of Malbec just about as much as I like Buzzfeed quizzes that tell me which Sweet Valley High character I am. Oh dear.

4. Speaking of not being young anymore, check out this list of 30 healthy choices to make before 30. I've done 19 or 20 of them; several in just the past two years, so that brings my number down to the low teens. How many have you done?

5. Speaking of healthy choices, here's an unhealthy one. Although, if you look at it another way, maybe it is a healthy decision - you know, because of the portion control.

6. Speaking of Brownies, when are Girl Scout cookies coming again? I feel like it's soon...I haven't been accosted by a group of smiling tweens outside of the grocery store yet this year, so hopefully I haven't missed it. I love Tagalongs. And Samoas. And Thin Mints.

7. Speaking of Thin, I think it may be something I never am. But that's okay. As long as I'm happy.

P.S. I Googled "Thin Mints" to try to find a picture of the cookie, and that led me to Googling "Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies", which led to the suggested category "Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies Strain". As in a variety of weed. I wonder how they came up with that name...
