Sarah's Real Life

When: last Friday // Weather: chilly // Real life: work

If you read the title of this post and whispered “Gossip Girl” to yourself, do not feel embarrassed. I am no stranger to the guilty pleasure of shows meant for people younger and/or richer than I am. If you really think about it, it’s better to watch shows like that when you’re an adult and you can recognize what behavior is actually worth emulating and what behavior would probably result in incarceration or an incurable venereal disease. For example.

You’re also slightly less likely to feeling angry that the girl on the TV is wearing an outfit that cost more than your car, which you have to drive yourself. To Target. With your coupon app. I said slightly.

When: last week? I don’t remember… // Weather: coldish probably // Real life: work

I resolved to wear more red, and I’ve been wildly successful already. I’m ambitious like that. It looks great with black and other neutrals (see above), so I guess my next challenge is to wear it with other colors. This month the obvious choice would be green, but that’ll depend on how much I’m feeling like an elf.

Speaking of Elf, I assume everyone else is watching exclusively Christmas movies by this point, right? On heavy rotation in this house are: Elf, Little Women, Love Actually, Four Christmases, and the Santa Clause. That means statements like these are also on heavy rotation: “What’s a Christmasgram? I want one!” “Josephine, there’s a draft!” “I HATE Uncle Jamie!” “You don’t say my name used to be Asshole but now it’s Bob. You say my name’s Bob.” “Does this look like a little weight to you?!”

You might think there aren’t many situations when it would be relevant to make these statements, but you would be wrong. What are your favorite Christmas movie quotes? The more random, the better!
