Yesterday the neighbor kid came buy selling fundraiser chocolate. I didn't have any cash and I couldn't find my checkbook. Turns out my husband had taken it to work. Whatever. Kiddo says he'll come back tomorrow.

I lost my entire wallet getting out a cab in NYC once and the person who found it mailed it back to me using the address on my license. Sometimes people surprise you.

I discovered Alle two days before they announced she was leaving. I don't understand the new site. It's dreadful.

Terrible person is now slightly less terrible, would like us to congratulate her for it while she tells us about her new business.

It's the other way around. J. Crew only goes to 38D, Victoria Secret goes to 38DD.

Caramel deLites are so much better than Samoas. Samoas taste like burnt Caramel deLites. I grew up with the good stuff and can only get sad, burnt imposters where I live now. Woe is me.

SSA ranks has a ranking of names given between 1914 and 2013. What I'm getting from this is that guys named James are underachievers. Also, there used to be a lot more Donalds.

what kind of stuff do you lie about? We lie to mother in law all the time but not my mom.

I wonder if it's better to allow it so you can see it and they don't end up with a secret one? Ugh, I'm so glad I have over a decade to figure this out.

check out the book reviews in Smart Bitches, Trashy Books. I mostky read historicals but they have really reliable reviews and will filter out anything rapey.

Wow that's even worse than our best man's speech. His was just extremely generic. It sort of sounded like he met us that day. Tip: even is he's your brother, don't pick a best man who is lukewarm on the bride and going through a divorce.

This happened to me. My mother-in-law wore a long sparkly white dress to my brunch wedding. She's just really dense. She thought it was beige. She knows she's dense about this sort of thing so she ran her outfit choice past her daughter. What she didn't realize is that my SIL is also really dense. It looked ivory,…

School districts can be deeply weird.

Is it bad that that upsets me more than this?

No. No one making 250k is middle class. It is possible, at any income, to live outside your means. Just because someone making 250k is comparing themselves to someone making 500k does not make them middle class. The median income in Manhattan (not NYC, just Manhattan) is 67k. No one making 3.7 times the median income…

We have a similar thing with middle class. Something like 90% of Americans consider themselves middle class. That's why we end up using ridiculous descriptors like "middle to upper" middle class.

I'd love to see someone take a look at the extended family dynamics when couples marry across classes. Mr. Aspen grew up solidly middle class. He grew up to work in a similar field as his dad. My MIL and I both work for public schools systems. We're living a very similar lifestyle to the one he grew up with. Mr. Aspen…

I feel so bad for their kids. My grandparents had been married for 66 years when my grandma died last month. Maybe this is selfish, but I am so glad that we're not mourning both of them right now.

Kelly already did that for us: http://jezebel.com/seriously-stop…

My husband uses paper towels in the same way.
