I went to Target to purchase all sorts of tiny toiletries for our upcoming trip to Ireland. (I’m not checking a bag, and that quart-size Ziploc shit is ridiculous.) I decided to take a little pitstop in the luggage section and ended up leaving with an adorable new passport cover. If I’m going to continue traveling internationally with a hideous photo of my 16-year-old self, I deserve something cute to distract people.

When my boyfriend got home, I wanted to show him.

He spent five minutes complaining that I didn’t need it.

“Let me see it,” he finally said.

After I handed it over, he began beating it on the counter.

“Let’s see how this holds up! I’m going to simulate the most extreme travel scenario.”

Then he threw it across the room.

“Is your passport ok?” he asked after I retrieved it.

Sort of annoying.

The Guinness Brewery in Dublin, Ireland.

I took this photo atop the brewery’s Gravity Bar, the 360? glass enclosed lounge where visitors can enjoy a free pint of fresh brewed Guinness and view a remarkable, panoramic view of Dublin, Ireland.

“May God give you…For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer.”
