This is, hands down, my favorite scene from Designing Women. And it’s officially the second day of summer here, and I have spent 7 hours in the past two days hanging poolside with my BFF while the rugrats frolic. Yay, summer!!

Wait, are we sisters?

I loved it in the mid-90s when it was hours upon hours of A Wedding Story. I spent all my between-class college hours getting stoned and watching TLC. “Love is all there is when I’m with you...”

Exactly. I can’t separate Alex from Donna, and I just know that prison time for Donna would break poor Kitty Foreman’s heart.

I just referenced that movie yesterday and people looked at me like I was crazy. I know exactly which scene you're talking about. I loved that movie.

One channel has started showing reruns of That 70s Show at night, and every time I watch it, I think, “Aww, Jackie and Kelso are married and they have a kid. That’s so cute.” So there you go- there is at least one person thinking about their kid.

I have a fondness for pencils. I also have tons of them because I have elementary school-aged children. But I’d have a hard time justifying $2 for a pencil when I can buy 50 of them for $1. Plus, my dog shares my fondness for pencils and would probably have that bad boy chewed to splinters before I’d had it 24 hours.

The overhang from my c-sections says that the low-rise trend will not be making a reappearance here. I will be uncool for the good of humanity. Nobody needs to see that.

Yup, except I wandered down the ditch that ran behind the houses in my neighborhood crying because I realized that once I ran away from home, I had no place to go. But I was also too proud and stubborn to admit defeat and go home.

I did. But honestly, I found her endearing. And I found that confusing and unsettling.

I once made a joke about cousin love in front of my college boyfriend and his mom, and wondered why he elbowed me immediately. Turns out his mom had previously been married to her cousin. Whoops.

I’m just hoping they get a real fucking baby. The doll that randomly goes from a tiny newborn to a fucking toddler by the end of the episode is killing me.

Savannah’s still kind of a coastal town. But you’re right about the shells. Those were definitely bought at a souvenir stand because nobody’s finding anything like that on a Georgia beach. The best we ever get is a bunch of oyster shells and a broken conch or two. Shit ton of sand dollars though.

Well, it is in Savannah, and that’s near the beach, so I guess the seashells are okay? Either way, I like her taxidermied chickens. And I’d probably live in that house if somebody gave it to me. I mean, it would be rude to say no.

You’re right, a trend is a pattern, and that name slowly but steadily rose up the chart. However, after Mason Disick was born, it vaulted from #29 to #3. The Kardashian effect is the obvious cause for the meteoric rise in popularity. So, okay, it may have been a trend, but they made it trendy. You can claim that the…

Mason wasn’t even in the top 100 when we used it.

My oldest is named Mason, but when we chose it 11 years ago, it was nowhere near the top 10. Now it’s number 3, and you can't turn around without bumping into a Mason. Stupid Kardashians.

Cree Summer voiced a very perky dog on the PBS Clifford cartoon. There’s your random, useless fact for the day.

I look like shit in a maxi dress. Like somebody dumped a load of laundry on top of a short, squat fire hydrant, but I wear them all the time. I’m a middle-aged minivan mama- comfort always wins. But I do wear fun jewelry, so Stacy London would approve...

I’m pretty sure melamine is the stuff they use to make cheap plates and white boards. I think you mean melanin.
