The Post About Weaning Off Etsy and Jessica Swift

I'm an Estyaholic.

I've had to commit to no more than 30 minutes of browsing per week.

But a half hour is still plenty of time.

Apparently not enough time to exercise or clean out my trunk, but...


This is All I Need by Jessica Swift.

An enormous handbag and a good coat of matte foundation is all a girl ever needs.


Georgia Trees by Jessica Swift.

When I went to college in Atlanta, this is exactly what the trees looked like. But I may be remembering them after a hardy gorging of pizza.

Jessica's prints are lovely.

And she did not ask me to say that.

The Post About Guidelines for my Death

Planning.

I like it.

I like lists and post-its and calendars and words with lines through them.

I'm a planner when it comes to work and traveling and which drive-thru line to choose at the bank.

I'm also a planner when it comes to my impending death.

I have no reason to believe it's happening today or tomorrow, but who knows?

So. I have some ideas about what should and should not happen when I die. Here's a sample list:

1. Swag bags. Those in attendance at my memorial should receive a gift bag including my favorite things. Cheez-its, a mixed tape, and Super Bubble gum.

2. My Facebook account should be deleted. No moratorium on the wall. More importantly, no posting new photos of me that I can no longer untag.

3. No tombstone. I don't want to risk the placement of fake flowers or a teddy bear wearing a tutu placed near my decaying muffin top.

4. Funeral music. No songs referencing heaven as a lighthouse. No songs which consider a train or ship as the best way to get there.

5. No body. I'm all about some ashes to ashes. Plus, you can divide me up into snack bags and include in #1.

There's more where these came from.

What about you? Any last wishes?

The Post About The Rabbit Recommends v.76

Each weekend, I post a readable, a watchable, and a listenable of which I'm fond. You can choose what happens next. Earlier volumes can be found here.

This is the And-By-Recommend-I-Mean-Do-Not-Recommend Edition. I'm going to focus on a genre of books I find most disturbing.

Christian Romance Fiction.


The vague cover of a fake book that probably exists.

And I don't mean all of it. I'm actually a big fan of authors Francine Rivers and Deeanne Gist.

Due to my extensive experience, I suggest you avoid the following:
1. Book covers including a white pioneer woman staring forlornly to her right.

2. Any stubborn, yet beautiful protagonist who's widowed or spinster at 26.

3. Any novel categorized as "Christian" but the only spiritual struggle is the previously mentioned stubbornness.

4. Book covers including a white contemporary woman carrying shopping bags.

5. Authors who have written more than 30 books in less than 10 years.

These books tend to lend themselves to crazy bad writing.

They also convince you some rugged cowboy or rugged FBI agent is waiting to push your buttons, but sweep you off your feet.

Emotional porn.

I've hidden a huge stash of it in my heart.

Time for a new favorite story.

Mine.
