Target brand, I'm pretty sure - I'm a cheapass. So true about the vanishing styles - I find something that fits well and when I go back, gone.

I buy my exercise pants from Target, but I do not love them. I feel like they are stank traps. The ones I bought a few years ago (worn out, sadly) didn't have that problem, but the new ones do.

I actually completely agree that in general, women are better at housework and child rearing. However, to claim that this is just something innate is total bullshit. It's true because that's the societal expectation. As long as women like this are content to roll their eyes indulgently at their poor helpless menfolk,…

Being a housewife doesn't = being grateful for traditional gender roles. My househusband friends would certainly disagree.

"What's a week-end?"

I have a super long waist too (and belly fat!) and I get my workout tops from Target. The Long & Lean ones are the best (buy small so they aren't too baggy) but I've had pretty good luck there generally.

No, I'm going to ask my doctor when I see him next week. Typically he's not a lot of help with this kind of thing - he says stuff like, "Have you tried giving up dessert?" I HAVEN'T HAD DESSERT IN THREE MONTHS ARE YOU DEAF.

I am super bummed out. Over the past ten months, in an attempt to lose baby weight, I have cut out red meat, dairy, eggs, sugar, and limited carbs; religiously tracked what I ate and kept it around 1600 calories a day; and worked out 4-5 days a week with high-intensity cardio and lifting weights. Today I stepped on a…

Oh I wish I looked like her. His vision is obscured by love.

My two-year-old is always pointing to pretty people, like Christina Hendricks, and saying "Mama!" Dada, on the other hand, apparently looks juuust like Henry VIII.

I could stalk her around town and convince her to be my bestie, but somehow I don't think it would turn out the way I hoped.

I love him too, but I decided it would be best if we didn't meet and fall in love. I'd hate to be the subject matter for one of his songs.

My old job had a mysterious someone who defaced the stall walls with shit. I assume they were expressing their feelings about the literally shitty atmosphere there, but it seemed pretty stupid given that the only person who really suffered was the janitor lady who just made minimum wage. If the revenge pooper had just…

I go to the gym most nights, which I can only do because my husband realizes that I NEED to work out so I don't lose my shit. So he takes care of the kids at night and I am free to spend an hour or so reading magazines and listening to music with no one hanging onto my legs and howling. (That's considered highly…

Well, I didn't mention Johnny Cash because that just goes without saying as far as I'm concerned.

No one will ever beat the king, Waylon Jennings, as far as I'm concerned...but vintage Old 97s come pretty close.

Size 6?! Well, maybe in their once-yearly acknowledgement that women with non-model bodies actually exist (and yet somehow all still look like models)....

Same here. My not-so-friendly dog was badly hurt by a "friendly" one. But oh boy, do those people get pissed off when you say, look, I don't CARE if your dog is nice, MINE ISN'T!

Ha, these pants were the thing among youngins when I was in Spain four years ago. I described them as looking like they'd dropped a giant load in their pants then - glad to know I'm not the only one who saw them like that.

Interesting, I did not know all that about Baum. I had the exact opposite idea of him, in fact, given how the General Jinjur story resolved itself - she took over and the women began wearing the pants, the men got fed up and struck a deal with mice to run through the Emerald City to terrify them into submission, and…
