Kinda like a car wreck; horrific, but you can’t look away even if you try. This was too good not to share with all you foolios Enjoy…or not.

I spent this past weekend in Philly with my good friend Kathleen. A long Saturday night of adult beverages followed by a long Sunday of us sleeping/eating/watching trash on tv (Toddlers and Tiaras, anyone? Oy.) was exactly what’s been missing in my life.

So driving back to Newtown last night, before I left Philly to get on I-95, I noticed a homeless man with a sign. I don’t know what came over me, but I made the game-time decision to give this man $5. I never do things like that ever, because I’m somehow hardwired to believe that the majority of people are trying to take advantage of whoever they can.

Since this happened at a stop light, there were a few cars parked behind me. The person in the car behind me gave the guy something, and so did the person behind THAT car.  The man was way grateful/excited.

Would those people have given to the homeless man if they didn’t see someone else do it first?  Who knows, but I’m kind of thinking that would be a “yes.”

I’m extremely stingy these days, so it’s surprising that parting with $5 actually made me feel really good.  Still does.

So being this corny is making me really uncomfortable, so I’ll leave you with some completely unrelated awesomeness:

Have a bangin’ Monday!

My new summer anthem, and the song that will power me through the 15-mile run I have planned for Monday:

Yeah, you heard me. !5 miles of running. For fun. Just to see if I can. Because I still don’t have a new job and am running out of productive things to do during the day.

I’ll start in Washington Crossing (PA) running along the Delaware Canal to New Hope, then cross the bridge to Lambertville (NJ) and follow the Raritan Canal to Titusville, taking pictures the whole way as proof. Then I’ll drag my sorry ass across the bridge there back to Washington Crossing. Wish me luck, I need it. Bad.

A:  A bunch of mini cupcakes!  Hey-o!

Baked by Melissa

The idea is that with mini cupcakes, you can try a bunch of flavors and not feel as bad as if you ate a crap-ton of regular ones.  Although I don’t think I’d have any sort of problem putting away like 50 bajillion cookie dough ones.  Trust.

If the photo above doesn’t make you completely lose your mind…well then, get a hobby.

Go ahead and order some for me yourself:

This news is a few days old, but lay off me (I’m still grieving).

I’d like my readers to observe a moment of silence in honor of Rue McClanahan, who passed away on Thursday at 76.  WTF?  I thought she was the healthiest one!

Hottie!

Golden Girls reruns have been my life for years, and that slut Blanche Devereaux was one of my favorite characters on TV.  Sad and wrong.

Yay, new Arcade Fire!  Finally…I feel like it’s always a long wait for new stuff with these cats, but the wait is always worth it.  The Suburbs is their newest album and is planned for an August 2nd release.  Luckily they’re extra nice the people (like me) who find it physically impossible to wait when they hear about a great new album coming out, and released not one, but TWO fab singles.  Listen to “The Suburbs” and “Month of May” and get excited.  Woo hoo!!

*Curse words ahead!  You’ve been warned…

The Fucking Weather

I love it, even if they are a little on the grammatically-challenged side.  Who is coming up with this incredible nonsense?  How am I not thinking of it first?  Brilliant!

I’m boycotting blogging until I get more names for this CD swap.  Only 5 officially confirmed so far…including me!  Come on, people get with it!!
