1. Fact: the shadiest-looking restaurants make the best food. There is a Mexican joint called Mango’s in Fargo, North Dakota. Driving by, any normal human would think this place was a bad case of the runs just waiting to happen. It is for this reason that Mango’s and many other local diners are overlooked. Only a real foodie could look at a restaurant, conveniently attached to an already shady gas station, and say, “I’m in.” Several months ago, I was one of those foodie daredevils who was brave enough to give it a try. Well my friends, I have no regrets. Mango’s may easily be the BEST Mexican food I ever have. So now I’m on this weird food binge that makes me want to eat at every crack-joint-turned-into-pizzeria that I can find. I’m hoping that this food tour will help.

2. Tiffany blue bow nails. So springy and girly and happy and pretty and ughhhhhhh give them to me noowwwwwww.

3. If Nationwide was on my side, I’d be going here for Spring Break.

4. Spring starts in 11 days, which means in 11 days we are only one season away from summer, which means I am closer than I have ever been to boating and swimming and campfires and campfire snacckkss, which means I can FINALLY make these Bacon S’mores without shame. Who am I kidding. I could eat these for breakfast without an ounce of guilt. Don’t judge. This is a judgment-free zone people.

5. But seriously, do not judge me for what I am about to tell you. I have a tiny, semi-dormant hippie living inside of me. I shower twice a week (when my work- and lack-of social-life permit), I like organic licorice and turquoise jewelry and hiking and fishing and folk music…..ahh I said it, I am a total sucker for folkies. It was inevitable. My dad practically raised me on John Prine and his songs about Lake Marie and naked babies. It is no surprise that Clogs and First Aid Kit make me supa dupa happy.

Happy weekend lovers and friends

1. Recycled music, it’s kind of my thing. I love it when a musician can take a popular and/or classic song and give it a total makeover. Jayeslee recycle music like it’s going out of style. Plus, they are probably THE hottest Asians I have ever seen. Take a look.

2. I want to be in this dress, with a seriously strong cocktail in hand, on an exceptionally large boat. Right now.

3. Sexiness in its most simplistic form. Attention future husband: we are doing this once a month.

4. We get our new fridge today! Me, excited? No. It’s not like I’ve been planning a month’s worth of meals or anything….BUT, if I were, this fried egg sandwich with bacon and blue cheese would probably be on it. Translation: our fridge arrives at 2 p.m., I am making this at 2:01.

5. Every once in a while, life gives you a humbling moment. Coming across I Am Second was one of them. Remember, we are a part of something much bigger than ourselves.
