I miss lime SO MUCH. I can't do Skittles without them.

Also, I thought these (the large ones, really) were called Scooby Snacks growing up bc that's what my mom called them when she sat me in front of the TV after school. Eat these, solve some mysteries, jinkies, etc.

There may not be an atheist candy company, but there's a God-loving one. Thank you, Sweets & Snacks Expo, for introducing me to a whole lot of things.

I really, really, really would like them to come to Chicago. But alas!

Well, thank you. Now I need to figure out when I can drive myself two hours down 55 to find this chicken. I'm calling this the summer of road tripping and I will be seeing you at this place now apparently. I'll be the exhausted looking woman who has suddenly remembered why she never drives anywhere and my husband will…

I have a former coworker who cannot stand spelling coworker without a hyphen because he reads it as sounding like "cow orker" and I really love it. Ork is such a fantastically awful sound.

I love your name. That is all.

So very well played!

Her daughter went to my college and was friends or roommates with a friend of mine, and said daughter (Mamie Gummer) loaned said friend a necklace Meryl supposedly wore in that movie for a formal. This is still probably the closest I've ever come to fame.

Growing up my mom always did butt squeeze exercises (like butt kegels, I guess) and she demanded my sister and I do them too. At 62, she's still got some crazy strong butt muscles while a lot of her other muscles have gotten weaker. Now excuse me while I clench and unclench my butt here in my cube.

I recently finished watching the series and am just delighted any time I see him now.

She's really great! These are fantastic.

Who said anything about cleavage? And who are you to tell me what I'm supposed to be comfortable wearing? You go live your life in your T-shirts if you can stand them, and I'll continue being comfortable with what I'm wearing.

That's so awful; I would not be able to stand that! In HS though when I still wore T-shirts during track because everyone else did I used to roll the sleeves up and secure them with hair ties, but I was never able to do anything about the necks. But gah, I can almost feel an invisible crewneck T-shirt against my neck…

In high school we got to go to a special screening of Here on Earth put together for newspaper students. Leelee Sobieski was there and we got to ask the cast questions, but the movie was so so cheesy and hard to watch, even for sappy teenage me, that I couldn't think of a single non-insulting thing to ask her. I loved…

Looking for Alaska is such a good book. Another book I shouldn't have read in public...at a children's park, on the swings, during my lunch hour, no less.

I'm really into this water bottle filled with wine idea though. Bonus point: I finished this book on the commuter train, upper row, where I am sure the bottom dwelling riders could hear me sadly moaning and wondering if (hoping that?) the train was haunted.

Forget the allure of private phone calls and being able to eat whatever I want to in peace at my desk—videos like this are the real reason I wish I had an office. Damn stupid tears and stupid noises this is making me make.

I once got sick eating some fruit that I later decided may have been past its best by date. That is how my in-the-future-once-I-learn-an-instrument-and-can-suddenly-sing band, Questionable Pineapple, was born.
