Do You Need Some Salad Dressing?

I miss people.


One of these girls is happily married and I only get to see her every once in a while. Another one moved to a different apartment and I only get to see her every once in a while, too. Another moved around the world to Australia and I don't really get to see her every once in a while. Actually...yeah. Never. And that's sad. But we talk. So that's happy. Thankfully, super super thankfully, I am still living with the last one. So I get to see her a lot. But I still miss them.


This is my family. They are in Arkansas. I miss them too. This is us in Magic Kingdom at Disney World. Yes, we wore matching t-shirts. Aren't we cute?


This is my nephew. Yes. Just look again. He's as cute as you think he is. Nay. He's cuter. So look again and reevaluate. There you go. I talked to him the other day on the phone and he keeps talking more and more. He's growing up without me and it breaks my heart. I mean, I'm excited and happy for him obviously because he's a genius baby, but still. I'm missing so much.

Anyway.

I cleaned out and organized our refrigerator tonight. Guess what I discovered. I'll tell you. Our little fridge is the proud cooler and caretaker of 16, I repeat, SIXTEEN salad dressings. Eight of those are Ranch. Our apartment houses six early-twenty-something females. Why do six early-twenty-something females need 16 salad dressings? I own 1 container of Ranch. Which means that there are seven containers of ranch for five early-twenty-something females. 

That doesn't even count the ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, and other jellies/jams/hot sauces/etc that are also in our fridge. Those small containers sure do add up fast, and they happen to take up a lot of space. 

So. There's that. 


Oh and here's my amazing cousin who lives in Provo now. She's absolutely phenomenal and I have had to miss her for the past 3 years because we have been living in different cities. But now she's here and I get to see her everyday, and it's the best.

I Want Answers, Please.

Some questions I have for the population in general:

Will I ever actually feel like an adult? 

Or will I always feel like a person who is slightly more adult than the people younger than me and slightly less adult than the people older than me?

How do I become a person who helps rate movies?

Is that a profession or is that on a volunteer basis?

Who is the gingerbread man talking about in Shrek? WHO IS MARRIED TO THE MUFFIN MAN?

How are new cake/cookie/brownie/etc recipes invented?

Is there a group of people trying different measurements of all the ingredients to see what works best?

If so, how do I become a taste tester for them?

What is the best way to clean blinds?

Has anyone actually bought that long distance pillow that supposedly lights up when it's partner pillow is being used?

If so, does it actually work?

Does everybody but me seem to know about the stock market?

If so, how did I miss that?

Did you all go to a class and learn about it?

Was I too busy binge watching The Office on Netflix?
