If you don’t already have it, money can improve your life and make you happier, but once you have enough to go to Red Lobster on Tuesday night without worrying about paying the water bill that month, you’re good to go.

Self-perception theory says you observe your own behavior and then, after the fact, make up a story to explain it. That story is sometimes close to the truth, and sometimes it is just something nice that makes you feel better about being a person

observations

Someone recently summarized the grandiosity of weddings thus: brides don't realize that it has all been done before, and probably much better.

But isn't it our fault that this happens? Someone posts a photo of their hand with a brand new piece of jewelry and we all "like" it and write "congratulations" in the comments (to varying degrees of success because apparently it's a very difficult word to spell and dictionaries and spell-check cost per query). [Editorial Note: I just did that very thing today -- another high school classmate just announced her engagement a la photo-of-hand-he-put-the-ring-on-with-thousands-of-dollars-worth-of-rock and I "liked" it via social instant reflex.] I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being excited about people getting married / getting a promotion / getting into the school of their dreams. I just think that when all of a sudden you're bestowed with a ton of well-wishers and showered with congratulations and made to feel really, really special, you start... *gasp!* ...actually believing it.

Can we blame them?

Honestly, we all need to claim our fair share of blame for the creature that is "bridezilla." If you keep feeding a monster, it has no other option but to grow and expand and devour all humanity in its path.

I don't have a point to this post.

I love that Postsecret offers a forum for people to express their inner selves and feel, even if only for just a few brief moments, some understanding and acceptance in the world. I, of course, have my biased opinion about the oh so generous baby offer as well as why the last email sender would be appalled by how this whole thing unfolded, but for posterity's sake, I'll just let this little bit of human drama be.

Wow.

She's like a ukelele-wielding Mariska Hargitay. Hello, Dimples! Squee!

Amazing.

Plus, she's super smart to sing the bridge in a reasonable octave. :)

P.S.

I fall into a Youtube daze sometimes and next thing I know, it's 1 AM. Eep!

Love. This. Song.

I remember having this song ON CASSETTE.

And rewinding the hell out of the tape.

I recall every lyric, every inflection, hell, even the audience's cheers.

And all this before I even fully understood what it meant for a woman to be wearing perfume far more frequently and with no single special place to go....

What I really feel

My eyes won't let me hide

'Cause they always start to cry

'Cause this time could mean goodbye.
