“We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers.

Just so we’re all clear, that “really cute” greeting that Lisbeth uses in Fincher’s TGWTDT, that “hey hey”? That’s actually a common Swedish greeting…in fact, it’s spelled “hej hej” and is probably not a tactic to come off as subtly endearing.

But really, everything else aligns....

lovely autumn
Long time no talk, friends.
Can you believe it’s already mid-October? I can’t wait for autumn to settle in, creating the perfect atmosphere for Pumpkin Spice Lattés. This is the only time of the year I visit Starbucks. When the red holiday cups return, the package will be complete :)
