Are y'all on Pinterest? I can't bring myself to go there. I am not a crafter. I love to cook, but that's about as far as I csn go. And all the crafty people wear me out.
On that note, yesterday I clicked through a facebook friend's link about strawberry picking. I like fresh berries and wondered where she went. It turned out to be a link to her blog, where she posts about her crafting ventures, and in the description field, she wrote: "I craft to find the balance."
If there were ever a more pretentious sentence written by someone I once considered one of my best friends, I feel relieved that I never read it. To my memory, the closest runner-up was by the same girl, who once captioned a photo of her kids as "My life's work." Look, I get it. A lot of us feel that way. But certain things that we feel deeply sound so asinine when you say them out loud that really, you just shouldn't.
Bless her heart. I believe she is 100% sincere. But ... I just can't.
On a related note, it occurred to me this weekend that there has to be a word for yuppy people like me (us) who want all our produce to be organic and locally grown but don't want to stop showering or go vegan. What is that word?
