Sorry I missed a week! I decided sleep was more important than staying up late to blog. I'll try to make this week's Thursday Thoughts
extra interesting to make up for last week!
- Have you guys seen this map of six decades of the most popular names for girls, state by state? Jennifer's ruled the world (or at least the country) for 14 years! What's funny is I was born in 1985, the first year Jessica took over as the most popular. I guess my parents were a little behind the curve. I'd be curious to know how many of those Jennifer's actually go by that name and how many go by Jenny, Jenni, or Jen. When I was growing up if my parents called me by my full name I knew I was in for it!
- Speaking of names, last week C jokingly (I hope) sent me this list of 33 Signs You Need To Dump Your Girlfriend saying I met the criteria for #7, #8, and #20. I've sounded like a broken record the last few months complaining that none of my jeans fit and obviously Tay Tay is my hero so I'll give him those two, but #20? Me? Capable of murder? I'm not that intense. What he really should know is my list of baby names is actually an iPhone note and not a Word document. What is this the 1990s? Does anyone else keep a running list of baby names they like or am I the only psycho? Mine's saved in my phone right after my grocery list but before my list of songs to download. Priorities.
- You know what's more creepy than keeping a list of potential childrens' names on your phone? This new dating app, Charm. As if Tinder isn't bad enough, the creators of Charm have taken it one step further and you can now choose a potential love interest based on a 3 to 10 second video. Apparently this is more "authentic" then seeing someone's highlight reel of their best pictures from the last ten years. Thanks, but no thanks.
- Lighting can really make or break a picture. It's kinda sad, but I judge a room or restaurant on it's lighting which will determine whether or not I can take a good Instagram picture. I wish I were joking. I'm just a little obsessed. Please see below for artificial lighting vs. natural lighting. Makes a difference huh? I'm basically a professional photographer. Hah! :)

- I'm kind of freaking out. Has anyone tried Dunkin' Donuts new Apple Pie flavored coffee?? I must get my hands on some. I've been on the pumpkin spice coffee train for the past month or so, and (I can't believe I'm about to say this) I'm sort of getting sick of it. I know. Surprising right? Me? Sick of pumpkin? Yup - pumpkin coffee at least. I'm moving on to Apple Pie.
- Ummmm this is AMAZING! I've totally dressed up as a bag of Jelly Belly's before. In theory it was a great idea, but I was so angry the entire night because everyone was trying to pop my balloons. People are evil I tell you. I've also been a cupcake. Wow I really am obsessed with food. I don't think I'll be dressing up this year, but if I was, that spaghetti and meatball costume in genius!
- Let's talk TV. Since I've really only been able to keep up with one show these days let's delve into Nashville. I don't know what to think of Juliette right now! Do I love her? She really was sweet to Maddie last week. Do I hate her? She slept with a MARRIED man. This internal struggle is killing me. One thing's for sure. Nashville is seriously addicting. I've been saying it for over a year now, if you don't watch it already you should probably devote a day to catching up on the first season because it is SO good.
- Speaking of love/hate relationships, Google has the saddest commercials ever. They really tug at the heartstrings. First there was this Jess Time one for Google Chrome last year, and now they aired one about a dying dog. Seriously Google you're killing me, and yes I just made the mistake of watching it again and now I'm tearing up. I'm such a sap.
