I wanted to travel and save the world, then I realized Russian is freakin’ hard and in the mid-90’s, still not the safest or friendliest place for an idealist, petite CatChick.

My double major, but I am not nearly as badass as she is. I spent a summer in Russia, then said. Ok, then...what else can I do?

Help me. Most granola bars have too much sugar. I love almonds, but they’re causing California to die a slow, dry death. Hummus is infected and will kill me, apparently. What should I eat for snacks, seriously? Whole fruit just makes me hungrier.

I went the wedding of one of Hillary’s staffers years ago. She didn’t attend (she was a pretty busy Senator at the time), but she did send a cute video that was played at the reception. Very funny and personal and sweet.

And coconut is the slimy, chewy wax of the Devil. Keep your Samoas.

Yay for my hometown Nats! I was one of those nursing mothers who needed complete privacy and quiet - lil CatChick was crazily easily distracted.

Can I come too? My daughter wears t shirts that are too small and a little stained, but are her favorite with dogs or pandas. Her pants are always too short because she’s got legs like crazy. I sometimes yell and am very impatient. We get a babysitter every once it a while just to go drink beer or wine. But she knows…

My 50 year old husband, who has a early winter birthday, who thinks he still 5 years old.

Anecdotally, i have a feeling that some contribution to PPD (enviornment, not hormonal related - realize all or most of it is hormonal in some cases) is tied to challenges with breastfeeding. Almost a backlash to "breast is best". My PPD/PP anxiety was definitely tied to my inability to provide enough milk, her not…

Yes! It was at least 3 years after having my kid that the therapist (specialist in new moms) said, sounds like anxiety, when I told her of not sleeping for days, even when she was sleeping, feeling like the walls were closing in, not being able to sit still or rest despite severe exhaustion, etc. What a breakthrough.

Shit. My alma mater. We took back the night in the early '90's, but I guess...not so much. I'm so glad she reported it and hope the frat sees some serious repercussions (not hopeful, but still)

Petites, now, pretty please!!! I need arms and legs that aren't 6 inches too long! (Sorry, admit this is off topic and I'm very happy for ladies that want/need this size)

Answer - this , followed by wine ice cream. Just had raspberry chardonnay, tonight, chocolate cabernet is up. Shipped it right to me in dry ice and everything. I've reached peak ice cream, now in two ways.

I will flip off the Capitol as I metro home tonight, but alas, that is not nearly enough.

Just a little jealous because I just got my wedding pictures and by far the best/cutest shots are the ones with my daughter and ones with various groups of kids. My partner and I are just not that photogenic. (and, yes, of course we had kids, and she was my attendant.

So my partner and I disagree on one thing - I say there is an intimacy you can't achieve with anything else but sex, he says that all the stuff we do together (watching Big Bang Theory on the couch in our sweat pants, visiting breweries, going to the movies) is also intimacy, and that's what matters. I'm like, if he…
