Almost more than because of his politics, I hate Rick Perry because he's giving Texas A&M graduates a bad name. A&M actually has excellent academics, despite what one would think after listening to his garbled idiocy. #fumingaggie

I would be totally okay with that. Threading needles is hell on the eyes. Watching him literally thread a needle would be infinitely better.

Damn it, I really DO think about sewing a lot. Way more than sex. Though I do have some really great dreams about Gosling that combine the two...

Damn. I was really excited about my Nancy Drew costume, until I saw these. It obviously needs to be sexier. Luckily, they make sexy detective outfits too! I'm saved! Nothing says crime-fighting like a plaid mini-skirt and knee-highs. [www.mysterynet.com]

Why do celebrities hate apostrophes so much? Reading those tweets made me itch for a virtual red pen and an iPod that plays nothing but "The Apostrophe Song." [www.youtube.com]

Creepy.

Buying perfume for someone else? That seems like asking for one of those awkward "OH! Umm..THANKS! This is really great. No, I swear. Really." reactions.

Not to get all annoying fact-checker, but that early 90s slow jam was itself a re-do of the original early 70s song by Roberta Flack.

Have you ever tried Soma bras? They're the lingerie shop from Chicos and, while I never shop at the main store (being under 65 and not a math teacher), I live for their intimates store. I'm a 36DD and always had the hardest time finding comfortable, but legitimately pretty bras. When my mom turned me on to Soma, it…

Have you ever tried bras from Soma? They're the lingerie shop from Chico's, and while I don't shop at the main store (being under 55), I love their intimates store. I'm a 36DD and have the hardest time finding comfortable, but legitimately pretty bras. My mom finally turned me on to Soma and it was love at first…

Or I'll just spend the next 10 years hoping I've inherited my mother's hair. No woman on her side of the family has gone gray before 80. I'll take genetic finger-crossing over a shady pill any day.

I have a ton of fine, stick-straight hair that doesn't hold a curl at all. After years of experimenting with curling tools and products, I've found the one thing that truly works for curling my hair - steam rollers. If I put a little mousse in my hair when I dry it, then use the rollers afterwards, plus a little…

So glad to hear this! I also have stick-straight, high density hair and it is such a struggle to find reliable lines of hair products. I'll be buying this shampoo/conditioner right away!

Oh, dear. Has hyperbole gone out of fashion in snark? So sorry. I'll be sure to tell Stephen Colbert that he's doing it all wrong also, because hyperbole is officially dead.

Wait, you're allowed to do that in relationships? Just lay down rules on someone for all of eternity? Sweet! I have some of my own for my future husband:

Hey girl, yeah, I just dropped the word "gymnasium." I know it makes your ovaries flutter, when I talk like Andy Griffith.

As a YA writer, this makes me both very happy and very scared. We don't all want to go back to high school, I swear. Even though Steven Welch was super hot. I wonder what he's doing now...

Word. At this point, nothing would make so happy as one damn thunderstorm. Just a few raindrops, that's all I ask. It's bad when you start hoping for a tropical storm...

Earlier today, I was sad that it's also my birthday and I don't look as awesome as Salma in a bikini. That was easy to get over. But....a mustard yellow Birkin? Today I wore scrubs and carried around my beaten up old Kate Spade. I think we know who's winning here...

Thanks for the birthday wishes, y'all! Makes the cake taste even better. :)
