This is all so gross.

I’ve worked for two family businesses before and it reinforced that most family businesses are terrible and will inevitably lead to these sorts of family wars. One company I worked for throughout college was owned by two sisters who eventually hated each other, sued each other and fired each other’s kids and the 70+…

It’s a whole messy mix. I think some creative types just aren’t good at the contract/business stuff. They don’t mean malice (some day, but most don’t) and then you combine that with people who live out of town and have limited days to come in and get everything arranged for a wedding — it’s a recipe for confusion and…

Yeah, my early 20s were a whole process in learning how to read and negotiate contracts. I also ran into a bit of a pickle with an employment contract.

I will say that my photographer was one of those “talk a mile a minute, not really listen” kind of guys. Like endless talking and constantly sales pitching. We asked for a CD of the photos a million times, even at the contracts signing “We want to be sure that you know we want the CD too” and he was like “yeah, yeah,…

For some reason, as soon as I read the names of Neely’s blogs, I instantly sided with the photographer.

This is accurate.

My kids also want to see it. I have a few days off of work in August and they’re already begging me to take them to the emoji movie. The part with the poop in the commercial makes them cackle.

Out of all the outfits in that movie, the polo outfit is my favorite and I’d recreate that if I could. Polka dots!

How much money to get all dressed up in a costume and hang out with Billy Zane?

Hey, if half of the SAHM’s on Facebook can suddenly start their “photography business” with their constant “Booking clients now for prom photos!” posts, why can’t Brooklyn Beckham?

In my opinion, Leonardo has always closely resembled Baby Stewie from The Family Guy.

Yes. I really like that reaction. I try not to remark on anyone’s body at all because of that experience that I had but I would certainly use that approach more if I was actually concerned. My doctor had asked me that and then a friend said something too. He said “Hey, I was looking at facebook and an older photo of…

I’ve had worse jobs.

This makes me think of the reacher/settler thing on How I Met Your Mother. In every relationship there’s a reacher and a settler.

Yes, I understand that feeling. Can’t I just exist in whatever shape I’m in and not have to hear if others approve or disapprove.

Yes. To all of this.

Yes, it tastes like crap and it gave me terrible gas.

It’s not good. It just isn’t.

I feel bad for so many of them because it seems to follow this pattern of “23 year old can’t find a job. Goes to grad school. Still can’t find job. Travels a lot on breaks from their mall job. Starts sharing inspirational memes. Suddenly announces their exciting new job selling (Mary Kay, Jamberry, LulaRoe,…
