Real (But Ridiculous) Conversations I've Had Lately

Good mooooorning, bloggy world! 

*sung to the tune of Good Morning Baltimore, obvs*

The other day, I stumbled upon the Screenshots album on my phone – which hey, did you know such a thing existed or am I the only one who's been making my life harder than it had to be – and had a good chuckle at the gems I found in there. If I were to put together an electronic time capsule, I'd certainly drag and drop these in as a "wtf were these poor souls doing in 2016" reminder to my 80 year old self.

...and then I realized I have a blog, so here we go.

Hey 80 Year Old Caroline, 
These were the conversations you and your friends had...

...on valid commitments on a Tuesday night:

It was the season finale OKAY? It's! Important!!

...on Perpetually Caroline knowing ALL that goes down, food thieves be warned!

...on childcare:


...on putting together a care package:


...and Driving and Taco Bell Eating strategy:


...on finding new ways to argue, i.e. on a peer-to-peer money platform like Venmo:


...on cleaning the bathroom over Snapchat by way of sending numbered pictures of what's trash and what's treasure:


...on the grocery list and the fact that the most cost-effective method was having the friend who lives in Los Angeles buy certain items and flying them up to San Francisco:


On budgeting:


On a well-balanced diet:


On the fact that tipping at hair appointments is hard, hard math:


On the growing pains of life – knowing ZERO things about taxes and... well, tougher things:


On having a good source to vent to (thanks Cinnabon) when DRAMA arises:



And finally, in the words of Leah, the wise:

Leah: so how much longer?
Me: ...........till what
Leah: till we retire

  1. Peace, love and Cinnabon? They really went for the aggressive marketing tactics didn't they?? I love screenshots. They will be the end of my non political career though. I can see already and quite clearly. And... Taco Belling and driving is totally dangerous!!

  2. These are fantastic - I actually laughed out loud over the cinnamon roll convo - "she thought it was an avocado"! That's classic . . . and sounds like something I would come up with! Don't you love going through old conversations like these - they always put a big smile on my face!

    xx, Caitlin

    1. You should've seen my sideeye when I saw the text. I was like, REALLY!?!? But she brought half of it back home for me so all's well that end's well :)

  4. The one downside of moving away from home/where I went to school is not having my group of close friends nearby. This post totally made me miss living within a mile of my two best friends. On the other hand, my current living situation means that I always know who eats my food =)
    The savings account and taxes texts totally hit close to home. Why weren't we taught to handle finances in school?

    1. The sad thing is I was enrolled in financial literacy last year... but skipped half the classes to hang out with my friends. Kicking myself now...

  5. Haha! "There is nothing for us at the Health food market", made me laugh. I'm in a big group chat with all my course mates and recognised many similar conversations from that! xxx
