Agreed. I felt like poop getting out of bed this morning in the dark, but I get to go for a run outside after work and not feel like I might get hit by a car or randomly run up on a snake I couldn't see in the dark.

That's my favorite. I know I shouldn't, but I do anyway. Generally said while shaking my head and "tutt-tutt"ing a bit.

I recently moved to South Alabama so I guess I should be glad I didn't order any cookies this year. I'm strictly a Little Brownie Bakers kinda gal.

I love my little Jack Russell, but - oh boy - I'll probably never own another one. So much energy. So much jumping. He is pretty cute though.

So I shouldn't feel bad that I just spent $50 to get the free gift right after my fiance and I talked about saving money? I promised not to spend money on clothes. Face products that I'll eventually need anyway seems like a sound investment.

Samesies. Who decided this should be on trend? This word has never left my lips. I refuse.

I did okay with the not crying until the little reunion where Leslie announced her run for office. Then I lost it.

I attended a bacherlorette party like this. Possibly the best one I've been to.

My old boss, when his wife had their one and only baby a little over a year ago, took his family leave offered by the university we worked at. The baby came a bit early so his leave started earlier than we expected. He was taking four weeks total I think and the members of our department had insisted that he not come…

My mom is...not poor but struggling. She's also heavily addicted to smoking. My dad died two years ago from lung cancer since he also smoked. Even watching her husband suffer and die wasn't enough for her to kick her addiction. She tried. She's severely cut back but she just can't do it. If I think about it too long,…

Hugs, very careful hugs for you

Does anyone wear pure white anymore?

Antique lace sounds way better than anything white does.

Not my wedding, but two days before I got engaged, my cousin - we grew up like sisters because we were the only girls - told me she didn't like my boyfriend and thought I could do better. I had found the ring two days before and was dying to tell her but then hurried off the phone to cry and rage. After I called to…

Advice my fiance keeps giving me: They don't like it? Fuck em.

Seriously not trying to offend anyone here, but it seems that a lot of my Facebook "friends" who are stay at home mom's or otherwise just lead boring lives are becoming "Photographers." Like they aren't very good at it and the only people they are taking pictures of are their friends and family members, then they…

Is there a trick to French braiding your own hair? I can't do it if I can't see it. I'm a fail at hair dos anyway.

Every time I see a commercial, I remain shocked that she's on that show. As a lead. So much more talented than that.

I listen to Welcome to New York on the treadmill and tend to get the chorus stuck in my head. I'm not a fan of Out of the Woods or This Love, but I don't mind them much in the overall scheme of the album.

Does anyone have experience with nail wraps? The at home kind, Jamberry or otherwise? I'm thinking of getting them out instead of gel cause I can't paint my own nails for shit and I'm sick of paying a salon.
