I was going to put in that, yes, you can freeze them, but I left it out because obviously, defrosting slows down the whole "running out the door in the morning" part, but they can totally be frozen! Google "egg muffins" for a million recipes.

This problem is what egg muffins were invented for. Grease a muffin tin. Crack an egg in each spot and poke holes in the yolk. Sprinkle in some cheese, bacon, ham, or whatnot. Bake 15 minutes at 350. Voila! Perfect, transportable little breakfasts with plenty of fat and protein to get you through the morning. Stick…

"Girls are easy when they're young but watch out when they're teenagers!"

Technically, they're two separate events—you have a Catholic mass, and then the funeral immediately follows it. It's just like Catholic weddings; you have a mass and then the wedding. You can have a funeral or a wedding without the mass, too.

The Sesame Street podcast is the greatest podcast on the entire Internet. Yeah, I said it! That thing is utterly brilliant. Example: I got to wait in like at the post office at Christmastime without wanting to kill myself, and my kid learned what a glockenspiel was.

No need. I've been a parent for six years (how the hell did that happen?!), and a parent of two for four years, and I've had a little Toyota Corolla—the dark blue ones that everyone on the planet owns—the entire time. It's great; there's room for the carseats with no problem, it's big enough that the kids can't kick…

I listened to this story yesterday on NPR and about died laughing. I was all ready to be fully pissed about people trying to get only evangelicals to vote, and then they went on to explain what an utter failure the effort has been so far, primarily because, it turns out that adults who aren't registered to vote DON'T…

Lots of older ladies aren't surrogates, unless they are doing it for a family member or friend who is okay with it. Surrogacy agencies generally don't accept anyone over about 40 and prefer surrogates to be mid-30s or younger. Twenties is preferable.

I think a grand piano is something a bit less sweet and more savory—maybe a fig?

Because a 45-year-old man is not carrying a pregnancy. Being pregnant at an advanced age (and yes, 45 is very advanced for pregnancy) has much higher risks to the woman's health than being pregnant while still young.

My reaction exactly: "No one should keep exotic animals as pets! They are wild animals! That's totally unethical!" and then "BUT LOOK AT IT'S TINY EARS OMGOMGSOCUUUUUUTE!

Can you use cornstarch in between shampoos to absorb oil (or one of those fancy overpriced hair powders that are basically cornstarch with tinting)? I don't love doing that because it takes a while to brush it all out so you don't look powdery, but lots of people swear by it.

It seriously is awesome. I saw it on Pinterest some months ago and have wanted it ever since. But a couple of hundred dollars? No thank you. I'm ashamed to say that the thought of a cheap Claire's copy was tempting as hell.

This is so much nicer than the Gawker article on the same subject, which was almost entirely followed by comments along the lines of, "J.K. Rowling is a hack who stole all her ideas from [other book vaguely related to magic or fantasy], and her writing sucks, and I'm totally better at it than her."

I would kill my third-grade teacher to read "Hogwarts, A History." Not kidding.

I was a Girl Scout for years, so as soon as my daughter was old enough, I signed her up. She's a Daisy, and she *loves* it. She is sad that meetings are only every two weeks and wants to go all the time. It's such a great experience.

I assume that is because Boy Scouts very definitely does not welcome gay boys and is a Christian organization, unlike Girl Scouts, which includes all girls.

Holy shit, that was AMAZING. That handstand at the two-minute mark? My mouth is literally hanging open. (I know he does it in the post's video too, but he's wearing a shirt in that one. :) )

That is awesome! He did some good work for all of us. :) Give him a hug on our behalf, please.
