I miss that. And I thee dread. We never got to see what dress she chose...

Congratulations! I’ve known my husband since sixth grade (though he was nothing more than a classmate until one night I looked across a bar table when we were 22 and realized he was pretty cute and nice). Our shared history is one of my favorite things. It’s awesome to have the same frame of reference for teachers,…

Every time I see a family choosing to live in a tiny house with kids, I assume they’re mentally ill. When they live in some place like South Dakota, I assume they’re downright suicidal.

I went to middle school in the late 80s/early 90s and that shit was miserable. I was picked on constantly, and home was my only refuge. If I’d had social media, there would have been no escape. I can’t imagine how kids today deal with that. I’m honestly not sure I would have made it out of 7th grade alive.

I really and truly loved Sublime, but I pretended that I loved before college (1996) and that was bullshit. I also pretended to like nirvana, but I didn’t and still don’t.

I like it! I’m currently at the beach where I had all my best teen moments. I had my most romantic kiss on this beach, I was one of the cool kids on this beach (and nowhere else), I had my first orgasm on this beach!!! There’s a memory behind every sand dune- because I hooked up with some boy behind every one of them.…

Loooooooove that!!! I’m all over oriental rugs with a modern twist. Rugs USA has some killer deals- I’ve bought several there.

Good call. That is a worthwhile investment. As soon as I get my messy, gross kids out of my house, I’m doing the same.

YES!!!!! I loved Morracan trellis designs before I saw them EVERYWHERE. Now that, Greek key, arabesque tile, succulents and turquoise (the color, not the stone) have all been ruined for me. I blame Pinterest.

Shut. Up. I love that movie, have always loved that movie, will always love that movie. If the real girl is half as cool as Natty, I approve.

I love the 4th! We had a house full of friends and kids followed by awesome small-town fireworks. It’s a sentimental thing because we do this every year, and the best part is watching all our sweet kids that have grown up together run around in a field wearing glow necklaces. It makes me feel like there’s a lot of…

Ha!!!! If they can squeeze into a dollhouse, I’ll watch that in a skinny minute!! Maybe they’ll be using those really fancy playhouses? I’d actually watch that too..

Thanks!

Love it! As expensive as dollhouse furniture is, I can totally believe it!

All for meeeeee!!! I’m obsessed with miniatures and home decorating, and I’ve always wanted a huge dollhouse. I found this one last week at goodwill for $20, and now I’m on a super-tiny house renovation kick!

Dollhouse update! I’ve gotten the paintI got done and replaced the porch roof. Once I finish the roof trim, I’ll be able to put the balcony and window boxes back on, and replace a few missing trim pieces. Then I get to start on the inside!!

Okay, but that one is kind of cool.

Better than Saint, I guess...

I was the opposite- I would send people these long, effusive messages about how great they were and how proud I was of them. My friends loved to get messages from the ambien fairy. But I would occasionally send messages to my old boyfriend telling him I much I hoped he was happy, and that I was proud of all he was…

So weird- but that’s part of why it was fun. I gave up any kind of hallucinogenic drugs after college, so it was really fun to trip legally every night. But it also made me so incredibly stupid during the day, and I know it was turning my brain into Swiss cheese so it had to go!
