nope, your math sounds about right to me.

yeah, by 23 i had been married for 3 years and had 3 kids 5 and under, with #4 on the way! i feel younger now (10 years later) than i did then!

yeah... speaking from experience, naming your kid something that has a cheesy old song attached to it should be illegal. poor Clementine, i feel your pain.

honestly, it doesn't make sense to me, either. but that's the rules of it. i can buy a cold rotisserie chicken from the deli, but not a hot one. i can buy potato salad, but not hot potato wedges. it's the one thing i really don't get about the system.

It's not precooked or prepared food that isn't covered, it's only hot foods. So you can't buy a pound of hot chicken nuggets at the deli, or a whole rotisserie chicken, but you can buy both of these same items if they are prepackaged and in the refrigerated case.

other-husband is 10 years younger than i am. i'm 33 and he's 23. for us, it's not at all big deal, it's just a number, but for some people it can be.

i made a gluten free pizza with goat's milk mozzarella, bacon crumbles, and canned mushrooms (weird combo, i know, but that's what they wanted!). that was for the 2 youngest kids, and the rest of us had Aldi's pepperoni pizza.

Secretary... man, was he hot in that movie. he was also sexy as hell in Boston Legal.

i hate the name/nickname "Bill", too. i'd go with "Will" or "Liam".

every single one of my boys' names ended up in the top 10 within a year or 2 of their births. 2 of them landed in the top 5. sometimes, you just can't win.

no, it's true! the "wait til you meet him" bit, i mean. my second son, we had his name all picked out months ahead of time. Anthony Joseph. referred to him as Anthony or Tony for months. he was born, and i took one look at him and said "that's not Anthony." my husband was all "whaaaaat?" but i just couldn't do it. he…

the 2 epic failures that come to my mind was a gluten free buckwheat bread that could have been used as a paving block, and a turkey and black bean loaf that i thought sounded like a good idea (hint: it wasn't). oh, and there was a gluten free cranberry and sweet potato bread that was a delicious pile of crumbs. we…

it will get better. it really will. i've got 4 kids, and i had horrible "morning" sickness for months with all of them, but eventually, i would just wake up one morning and feel... better. something that helped me until that point was lemon flavoured ices and lollipops.

"when the dark comes rising, six shall turn it back,

yeah, i remember early Suicide Girls, when it was actually, you know, something different, and not just a bunch of perfect-pretty girls who all look about the same size and shape and have the same facial features. i really liked it when there was diversity on the site. you know, short, tall, skinny, chubby, slim,…

yup yup. i learned that a few years back when my doggie had some nasty diarrhea. canned pumpkin mixed with some plain yogurt sorted his poor little doggie gut right out.

oh, Ponies! thank you for man-splaining all of those things to my poor widdle wimminz brain!
i don't have the proper gif available, since i'm posting from my phone, but picture me with my hands folded under my chin, big eyes gazing up at you adoringly, eyelashes batting, and an insipid smile on my face.

oh, hon, i'm so sorry you've had to go through all this. take care of yourself, ok? *hugs*

since i have fairly eclectic tastes, i'll just give you the last five books i've read...

my husband proposed to me in my car, in the parking lot of a McDonald's, by tossing the ring box into my lap and saying, "here, i got it, you might as well wear it."
