It all makes sense now! My dad ALWAYS has cash on him.

I never have cash. I fail at adulthood.

(My mother only sometimes has cash. So she is only sometimes a responsible adult. Which, you know. Actually makes perfect sense.)

OMG QUICK COPYRIGHT THIS THEOREM IT IS BRILLIANT.

seriously. every time i read your blog, i snort out loud with laughter.

esp that bit about the secret to being an adult is carring cash. I'm a parent myself – but I never carry cash. Only my debit card, which works like cash….only I'm screwed if the store doesn't accept debit cards…..sigh.

i cant keep cash, because i have an inexplicable need to spend it. on gum, on cigarettes, on toilet paper, on hair gel – on anything. cash burns a hole in my pocket!

I NEVER have cash. And when I do, I spend it like its going out of style. Its like, yeah I know I have a whole case of Diet Dr. Pepper in my office, but I need the $1.25 20 oz. bottle of Diet Coke from the vending machine right at this second and there is no way I will make it back to my office before dying of thirst! And while I'm at it, does anyone else want anything from the vending machine because I am gonna make it rain with overpriced aspartame beverages and granola bars!

My beau and I fell in love watching the Food Porn Network. A tour of the Blow Pop factory now sounds like foreplay to me.

I worked as a bee keeper for a while and my boss at the time was an ex-engineer turned honey seller guy, and he came up with this crazy tim-burton-esque machine to extract honey from the honey combs. It seriously felt like I was in Edward Scizzorhands every day. But with more bee stings.

I actually was going to suggest a line of t-shirts with my favorite Nicole quotes but I was doubting the sellability of some of the ideas, but I think eleventy thousand would be a big hit and I hope there is some future trivia about how you made it a popular term.

Unwrapped is the best show ever. Those machines are fucking crazy.

And your blog layout is STILL my wettest dream come true.

omg – i love you girl.
screw you, mr. owl and "how many licks it takes to get to the center of the tootsie pop"…how did it get there in the first place? seriously.
now i'm frantically thinking of all the food out there that doesn't have anything in the middle…or does but it's just an invisible substance that will soon erode my insides leading to a slow and painful death?
keep on, keep on nicole…you made me laugh for the first time today and i've been up since 4am with the rest of the crazies.

You cant pay strippers with plastic…

so cash on hand is a MUST.

because honestly? you never know. One minute you might be eating cheese plates and talking to cool new people and then BAM, next thing you know you are in a strip club getting fed tequila and corona. I'm just saying.
