Hello internet stranger! I am a big tease and despite being super adorable and cuddly looking, I hate everyone. Sorry not sorry. — Scallywag

I’m with you on this completely! That dabbing may look awkward to outsiders, but it also just looks like they’re kids having fun. It’s also rude to assume that a nerdy kid has no friends. As a kid I spent like 5-8 hours per day reading, but I had plenty of friends! My husband would spend 6-10 hours per day practicing…

haha! I got suckered too! Scallywag was supposed to max out at 12 inches tall and skinny. He was bigger than that within a month. Here’s my 35-lb poodle-JRT monster.

As a former studious child, I have to argue for the fact that maybe this is their version of fun! All I ever wanted to do as a kid was sit inside and read books. If my cousins forced me to go to a baseball game or birthday party, I would bring a book and ignore the “action.” It may not sound fun to you, but getting…

It’s nice to know we’re not alone in this great big, broad-shouldered universe.

I know! My issue is I’m small and fat, getting contradictory advice for petites vs plus sizes. We need more categories!

As a petite, apple-shaped person, I never look less professional than I do in “professional attire.” With blazers, I can choose to have the buttons close or the shoulders fit, but either way, the sleeves cover my knuckles. With trousers they’re either so baggy they’re frumpy or so tight they’re an HR issue, either way…

Watching that whole video knowing what was coming, but not knowing WHEN it would happen was the most stressful 4 minutes of my life.

That’s how I feel about everything. Are you short? I’m 5'2 and I am literally incapable of cutting a nice line. Even structured blazers look rounded and frumpy on me. I insisted on pastel midi skirts like all the fashion blogs last spring, even though on me it was more “sisterwife” than Grace Kelly.

I am SO with you! I hate the idea of downplaying your features all the time. I have a very square jaw that I love and short hair is my favorite! I also have protruding eyes, but I’m going to wear giant colorful glasses anyway and everyone will just be forced to look at my prominent features.

Speaking of the complexity of dogs, one of my Facebook friends shared a blog article about “daily spoons” and dogs! I don’t know if you’ve heard of the daily spoons idea re: chronic illness (basically= normal people have unlimited spoons to use up each day while people with a chronic illness have a limited number to…

Yay! Team Stress-Free Job + Manic Husband + High-Energy Dog!

I’ve never read it, but it definitely sounds like my life, minus the kids. I often feel bad for our downstairs neighbors because by 10am, the dog, husband, and I have already had a full day. On race days, we’re cooking and bustling around before 5am. This Saturday alone, I hit 16.5 miles on my step tracker from gym,…

Gasp!

Haha! my husband is so upset that he’s Gene. but he really is Gene.(I’m Louise, of course!)

Your comment made me laugh so hard I got a cramp in my back because I had a 90-minute core workout last night. So true. So, so true!

This. 100%. Sometimes I would catch American Idol at the gym without sound. But I love to watch her beautiful, expressive face! If a song is sad, she cries. If it’s happy, she laughs. She’s so delightful, like a baby!

Me three! My dog has long wavy black fur and my husband tried to gently sweep a “errant dog hair” off my breast, only to find that it was actually my still-attached nipple fur. :(

Cannot unsee!!!
