I watched goodfellas. No judgement.

Pretty typical for there to be an age where the inheritor takes control of their inheritance. My mom’s will says we’re (her 4 kids) to split whatevers left 4 ways, but if she dies before my 2 youngest siblings hit 30, I’m overseeing my brother’s share and my other sister is overseeing youngest sister’s share until…

It just occurred to me that the reason I have an almost pathological need to squirrel money away in my own account is due to finding myself in nearly the same position as the boyfriend/boss example. This is in spite of the fact that my marriage is stable and I work for myself now. When I dip below four months of (very…

The husband and I were on a work road trip and stopped in Pigeon Forge, TN for a night. We decided that we’d go Full Pigeon Forge and hit Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede for dinner and a show.

Two weeks ago, I got a ticket in Missouri for being in the left lane while not actively passing. I was going 83 in a 70, so that may have been the real reason for the traffic stop... But I only got a ticket for the left lane thing, likely because of the screaming toddler in the backseat. After driving from south texas…

Tell ‘em all to fuck right the fuck off. They have no clue what they’re talking about.

Hmm. I worked at a place where women’s uniforms were $360 each, women had to wear 2 inch to 3.5 inch heels, a certain type/color of VS pantyhose (we were expected to bring two backup pairs to every shift in case of runs or snags), hair longer than the ears had to be in a french twist or chignon, and our makeup had to…

I brought my Goodfellas DVD in my hospital bag when I went into labor. Watched the shit out of that movie for the 27 hours I was in labor.

Good to know. I think at that time my brother was buying stuff (using my dad’s credit card) for his dealers as trade. The box def wasn't big enough to hold 500. Maybe 50ish.

Thanks. He was hard to have as a parent until I hit 25ish and got my shit together-ish. But most of the last 5-8 years of his life we were at that almost-peer, same-brained, mind-reading, partner-in-crime stage. He was a fucking riot.

Yeah, my bro likes to mix em with heroin and weed, it appears. I think my dad and I were juuuust lit enough.

Ok, this is as good a place as I’ll ever get to tell this story:

I'm probably still gray, but I have a question that maybe someone could answer.

She must have a google alert for any discussion about restaurant service. She pops up in so many places. It has been YEARS since I first encountered her on a forum (there's a rubbernecking group for train wreck posts/discussions that has highlighted her work extensively — so much so that "get me my 7 ranch" is…

OMG, you got Springs1'd!!!! Seriously, check out her other internet tirades. Ranch dressing. The blog. You'd think that this one trip to outback would have gotten Old after 5 years, but no, she's still going! This is miraculous. I haven't seen her in the wild since Ravelry. Amazing. Springs1 is like a unicorn. A…

that Shia outfit is almost exactly what my 2 year old daughter wore to preschool today. Trade those laces for Velcro and add Brobee from yo gabba gabba onto the turquoise shirt, and we're there.

Funny! Gonna have your hands full, eh?

To each his own. Wheat thins are STONE GROUND, which could go either way. Carr's are very junior league to me. Oyster crackers have a certain vagina dentata thing going on with the scalloped edges where the top and bottom meet. And in my Swedish, Lutheran family, oyster crackers go in clam stew. Totally girl-on-girl.

I was at the grocer yesterday picking up 4 types of crackers for the various cracker-eaters in my house. Two ladies, about my age (mid 30s) we're looking at the crackers, too. One says to the other, "I don't even buy graham crackers anymore." Second lady says, "I don't think they'd be good with this cheese, anyhow."…

I starred this so I can go back and look at those over and over and over when I am not rasslin' a toddler.
