Cosmo Hell.

24 Comments

.

The April issue of my (is this awful gift ever going to end?) Cosmopolitan subscription is here and as usual, it’s filled with things too ridiculous not to share.

.

.

Fashion… or do designers just have twisted senses of humor? Tough call.

.

.

This months quiz was pretty lame. And in case you’re interested…

.

.

This next one made me laugh as well as cringe.

.

.

If that doesn’t make your eyes roll, nothing will.

.

.

I don’t know about you, but I neither have.. nor need… to bathe my crystals.

.

.

Is it any wonder this country is going down the proverbial drain?

.

.

Date ideas seemed like an interesting read and a good way to see how things have changed since I was on the market back in the dark ages of the 80’s.

.

.

Mario Kart can improve your sex life? What am I missing here….

.

.

Wow. I know I’m middle aged, menopausal and not as hip as I once was (the casual use of the word hip proves the veracity of that statement even more than the scrunchie that’s currently holding my hair back) but cutting each other’s toenails on a date? That makes me very glad I’m old, happily married and way off the singles track.

The very definition of random.

Let’s start with a beautiful picture I snapped the other night when we took a ride up the coast.

 

 

Maine summer on the ocean.

You can’t beat it.

 

 

Our neighbor invited us over to see their tree house up close and personal.

 

 

Yes, the tree adjacent tree house I complained about in my blog a while back.

So… which one of you weasels ratted me out?

 

Adverbs.

Or rather, the death of them… is driving me to drink.

 

 

Real delicious?

Make the next one a double.

 

 

Grocery store bouquets.

 

 

Because sometimes a girl just has to buy herself flowers.

 

 

Socks… for my table?

Wonder if the dryer will eat those as well.

 

And finally, because you know I couldn’t resist….

 

 

You’re welcome.

Cape Cod Day 4. Farewell to Martha’s Vineyard, hello to Bad Martha’s beer. And then some Italian.

While we’d planned on taking the 8:30pm ferry back to Woods Hole…

 

IMG_9065

 

We arrived early and were put on an earlier freight run.

 

IMG_9066

 

Yay! Third car on, I figured we’d be the third car off.

I was wrong.

So very wrong…

 

IMG_9075

 

But it was a gorgeous night for a boat ride.

 

IMG_9069

 

And for some full moon photography.

 

IMG_9071

 

Even if some of the shots went a little wonky.

 

IMG_9068

 

Before we knew it we were pulling into port.

 

IMG_9080

 

And the doors were opening…

 

 

 

Damn.

Do I take fascinating videos or what?

 

 

Naturally, we were almost the last to leave.

But that’s alright, it was a wonderful day and a memorable adventure of a fabulous place.

Next stop?

Beer.

 

IMG_9092

 

We’d passed this place in Falmouth a few times during our trip and decided that night we’d stop.

 

IMG_9091

 

Bad Martha’s, a brewery from Edgartown on the Vineyard… from whence we just came, but managed to miss while we were there.

 

IMG_9087

 

It was a fun space.

Loud and exuberant…. probably like Martha herself.

 

IMG_9088

 

We did a flight.

 

IMG_9086

 

And sadly weren’t impressed with the beer, the really uncomfortable metal tractor seats or the small menu. Basically a few pizzas or a cheese plate.

So we moved on to Mashpee and found a great little Italian restaurant.

Cranberry margarita in hand..

 

IMG_9099

 

We drooled over the menu.

 

IMG_9096

 

Veal Portofino for me…

 

IMG_9100

 

(Okay, 2 cranberry margaritas in… I admit the quality of photography tends to decline.)

 

IMG_9101

 

Chicken Florentine for the husband.

 

IMG_9097

 

And a classic on the television at the bar.

(I still have my original album, which shouldn’t surprise anyone. Hey Bartender!)

 

IMG_9102

 

Dessert was a shared Limonatta cream cake. Husband said he didn’t want any and ended up eating 2/3rds of it.

Light as air and positively delicious, how could he not?

One more slightly inebriated photo later…

 

IMG_9095

 

(It was a nice looking place, you’ll just have to take my word for it.)

Day 4… over and out.

Still drinking, still knowing…

Still have to share my ridiculously useless knowledge.

Did you know….

 

1.   The little dot over a lower case  i  is called a tittle.

 

(There won’t be any memes to accompany that precious nugget of information.

Google image searching for the word “tittle” led me in some very disturbing directions.)

 

2.   An octopus will eat it’s own arms if it gets hungry enough.

But Hell….

I think we’ve all been tempted to do that at one time or another, no?

3.  In 1900 the third leading cause of death was diarrhea.

Aren’t you glad you started reading this blog?

4.  Winnie the Pooh was based on a real life female bear named Winnie who lived in the London Zoo.

5.  The first known contraceptive was crocodile dung, used by the Egyptians in 2000 BCE.

I don’t know about you, but crocodile dung would definitely be enough to kill the mood for me.

 

6.  Sigmund Freud had a morbid fear of ferns.

Really?

Orchids I could understand. They’re fussy, creepy, high maintenance flowers that look like they want to bite off your finger.

But ferns?

They’re delightful..

7.   Buzz Aldrin’s mother’s maiden name was Moon.

How’s that for serendipity?

8.  If you live in Michigan, it is illegal to put a skunk in your boss’s desk.

Sorry Detroiters…

I’m sure that’s very disappointing news.
