When: a Friday in February // Weather: 40s and sunny // Real life: work

90s girls rejoice: hoop earrings are making a comeback. And mayyyybe you can even wear them to a Spice Girls concert. (I’m trying not to get too excited about a reunion because the reports keep going back and forth, and if I’ve learned anything from Trump: #1 you can’t trust the media, and #2 tweeting after bedtime is usually a bad idea.)

I can’t quite bring myself to return to the giant silver hoops I used to wear, but these non-hoop-shaped hoops are a great way to bring the trend into the 21st century, if that is in fact the century we live in. Hard to be sure sometimes. You know, because of the Spice Girls thing.

When: last Sunday // Weather: 40s and cloudy // Real life: mac ‘n’ cheese festival

I tried to keep an open mind for year 2 of Indy’s mac ‘n’ cheese fest. Year 1 was sort of underwhelming, but the first year of anything is underwhelming. I mean, when I look back on 1985, I don’t think to myself, “damn, I really hit my stride as a newborn.” But I was underwhelmed again. There were long lines, still no organization, not a lot of vegetarian options, and leaky spots in the ceiling. They also tried to hand out forks via the “take one, pass it on” method. This time of year? No thanks, no flu fork for me.

Maybe I just don’t like food fests. I love eating, but not a lot at once, and I like to enjoy some ambiance, you know? And if you think I’m going to stand in a line to get a single bite of food like it’s 1930, you’re wrong. So instead, we’re going to start our own mac ‘n’ cheese fest: invitation only, at our house, with wine pairings. 😉
