Worth noting - Lela Rose =/= Lila Rose. I was massively confused for a second there about why an anti-abortion advocate would be getting line from a major retailer.

I actually adore Belltown, but Escala? Eww, tacky.

Uh, except poly and crappy fabric is the norm in their regular sized clothing as well.

Uh, building a desk fort when you have nothing better to do sounds awesome. And I'm now sad that my workspace desks are bolted together in such a way that I cannot construct a fort.

A reindeer, I think? A really, really shitty reindeer?

So, uh, is your brother single?

I'm married to a guy who lost his first wife at a young age, mere weeks after they were married. As such, I never say "soul mates." I never want to imply that his first wife was merely a place holder for me, or that I'm a consolation prize since she's gone. I won't belittle his pain to soothe my own ego.

I yelled at my then-boyfriend for eating carrots too loudly in the other room. That was my "I really need to get off these pills" moment.

Right?! That's the my main thought, too. I mean... I get stuff hair ripped out once a month, but I can't imagine doing my armpits. Owwww....

That sounds amazing. And sad. But mostly amazing.

There's a prescription roseacea product called Mirvaso that some have had good luck with. It's a temporary fix at best, and of those who have tried it, some end up with rebound flushing that looks worse than their original redness. My dermatologist prescribed it to me, but honestly, I'm so scared of irritation…

Ooh, do you get the, "Hey, you must have gotten some sun over the weekend!" comments all the time? I hate those. Nope. Not sunburnt. Just red.

One of my favorite blogs, How Wonderful, is currently writing about the process of becoming a mermaid for children's birthday parties. Apparently the YMCA pool is a great place to practice!

... I'm kind with him on the people who sit on the outer seat of the bus thing. Especially during rush hour.

But... the outfits in the new ad are so much better. Can't we be happy that they're not forcing those poor children into wearing camo and leopard print?

I'm not gonna lie - after I bought my car, I totally got a manicure to match. Dark blue and sparkly, it was THE BEST. If my auto maker offered a match, I would have been seriously tempted.

Psh. Vancouver has those too - they're called Burnaby and Richmond. Anyway, as important as good seafood is the dim sum, you can't compare the glories of a coastal city to a place on a lake.

Incorrect. Vancouver has the best Chinese food of all of the Americas. It's not even a contest.

Momentary read "was" as "has," and was like... how is that a bad thing?

They totally made a ranch flavored one! But it was called Zesty Ranch instead of Cool Ranch, which never really made sense... I mean, Cool Ranch is the most famous of the non-default cheese Doritos, right?
