My takeaway on the Lydia vasectomy thing was that they want to try to have a girl, and rather than do it the “natural” way and risk another boy, this way they can say that it needs to be done via IVF since he’s had a vasectomy and only use lady embryos. Just to be clear, this is not how I think, but rather how I think…

It’s the same way ALL those dudes on those shows deny cheating. “I would never cheat with HER.” See: Mike from Shahs, Sherv from Shahs, Jax from like any season of VPR, Tom/s from VPR. Also it looked like he had just the tiniest smile when he denied it, as in, “Maybe this time I’ll actually get away with it.”

Thank you! I feel like such a first time mom. Everyone has said “You’ll know a contraction when you feel it.” Time to focus on tree and sitting related activities.

I spent a good chunk of time talking today about how I really want this baby to come on or before his 12/13 due date so I’m wondering if I’m just psyching myself out.

I have so many ideas and so so many string lights, so it’s gonna be bright as all get out! Also good point on the sleep front, last night our new neighbors decided to throw open their windows at 3 am to play shitty music loudly so I’m a bit behind on that front.

Not sure if anyone will see this since it’s late on the East Coast and I’m posting from the grey zone BUT today I went on a day trip with my husband and he surprised me by pulling into a Christmas tree lot on our way home. I have been begging for a tree forever but he has always said we shouldn’t due to our…

You could totally be right, and I certainly don’t think that all cats/dogs/animals need pet prozac, I guess I just wonder if there might be something they can do to make it so that the home is harmonious for both kitties and kiddos.

The thing I think is key whenever people discuss re-homing is...what did you try in order to address the behavior? It sounds like the family is being terrorized by the cats but it also sounds like they haven’t really gone through the whole process of trying to address those behaviors through Jaxson Galaxy methods (…

You could also offer less than the asking price (Offer at least $15k less, in case they counter you)to see if they will go down to the price you want. If they don’t, then fine, you have your answer and you can decide if you’d rather wait for something better to come along.

Fantastic. I am a huuuuuge fan of apple spice cake!

What kind of cake? Also are those cinnamon sugar nuts on the top???

Ahhh losing an eye to glitter reminds me of Pushing Daisies....also to never let glitter near my peepers.

Don’t forget advertising! My husband and I were discussing the scandals and how they were rocking the Hollywood and political world and I said “Just wait. This is everywhere, every industry is bound to have the sexual harassment culture called out.” Ie. it ain’t just showbiz and politics folks, it’s almost as if there…

I fear the one day of gray freedom would be awesome until the jerks who kept posting gruesome shit came in and ruined it all for us. Maybe we could have some sort of threshold? Like people who have been commenting for 6 months or more?! Or perhaps number of comments with stars given? I’m just spitballing here.

I use Aquaphor, same thing I used when the corners of my lips used to get super dry and crack during my Accutane days. Also I found out later in life that I’m allergic to a few different lip glosses/lipsticks/lip stains, so a day or two after wearing them the corners of my lips would begin to be all funky.

When I first started dating my husband ( he works in politics) we had a discussion about how Democrats and Republicans ( or rather liberal versus conservative) think differently, have different values and communicate differently based on how they view the world through their political leanings. So while you may have a…

I love this post so much, I wish I could give hugs and stars. As a gray lurker...it’s harder and harder to comment without feeling like I’m shouting into a void. To be fair, un-grayed commenters like yourself and others DO tend to respond directly to comments which does have me coming back over and over again. But I…

My brain on baby is really really affecting me these past two weeks. I’m in the 3rd trimester and I can’t stop thinking about things going wrong, my husband getting hurt, dealing with the terrible tenant upstairs and complete emotional turmoil of getting closer and closer to the birth. I had my first panic attack…

She probably picked up the habit in prison.
