A couple weekends ago I was at Books & Brews with my lovely spouse and another friend when a magical occurrence…um…occurred. We found ourselves in the presence of a Bob Ross board game. Yes, it’s a real thing. And it’s called – wait for it – The Art of Chill.

Did we play it? You bet your happy trees we did. But here’s the thing: It was the. most. complicated. game. of. all. time. I started reading the instructions aloud but my throat got dry because it was more words than I’ve ever said at one time, so I had to pass it off to someone else. We did eventually get the hang of it, but we could only bring ourselves to finish one round. Turns out we don’t have the patience to chill as hard as the B-Ross.

Pre-Fallin’

When: first week of September // Weather: not fall yet // Real life: work, then out for Mexican

You know it’s late summer when you impulse-buy a new bathing suit and a pair of shooties in the same Target trip. (I don’t know if “shooties” is the official fashion term for these shoe/bootie hybrid things, but it sounds just obnoxious enough to be right.)

Speaking of pre-fall, let me just go on the record and say: If you want to drink your pumpkin spice latte when it’s still 85 degrees outside, do it. If you want to keep wearing jean shorts through October, do that. There is a special place in hell for women who don’t support other women, so I just want you to know – I support you, girl. And I hope you’ll support me when I’m wearing shooties on the beach.
