I thought I’d write about some of my favorite Taylor Swift songs. Of course there are too many to choose from, but here are a few… Why: the anticipation she builds through the lack of satisfying cadences, for a really long time. We would hate it if the whole first minute and a half were loud and confident. We would hate it. The simple rotation between chords, paired with overconfidence? Would make us cringe like clapping on 1 and 3. But it’s so soft, almost whispered, with a driven beat, …
It it is a glorified pillow with eyeballs. And it is a thing of beauty. You can squish it. You can hug it. You can toss it. You can arrange it on your couch. You can arrange it on your bed. (“bop it! twist it! pull it!” comes to mind) Anyway they are cute, they are fun, they are expensive at times and inexpensive at other times, and they are undeniably squishy.

He isn’t interested in politics, he doesn’t care who is fighting with whom, he just knows that he loves everyone around him, and also would like some adoration. He has healthy self-esteem. He doesn’t hold …
Hi friends. I thought I would share some of the kitchen items that I own and depend on. I tend to do a lot of research before buying anything, so I hope this will save you some time! These are my favorite plastic cutting boards. I love that they don’t have a “well” around the edge, which makes them easy to clean, and they’re very sturdy.
