Do you happen to be taking one of the types that slowly escalate the hormones throughout the month? I went on one (orthotricyclen lo) on my doctors advice, and it has been making me horribly sick. Nausea along with your other standard "is it my period or am I knocked up?" symptoms.

Yes. I want to be Ruby when I grow up.

Yum. Save a couple tablespoons of the salty starchy water you cooked the pasta in, and whisk it into your milk before making your cheese sauce, it helps it thicken up and come together.

I love Amy Poehler, but hate award shows almost as much.....bummer. Does anyone else cry uncontrollably at her "Ask Amy" segments on "Smart Girls at the Party"? No? Just me?

Believe me, I have no delusions about being at the front of any pack. Oh my goodness no. I mentioned going to college because it paints the picture of what I'm working with as an applicant, not to express disbelief as to why no one wants to hire me.

Unfortunately, I don't have much to offer in terms of accounting. I've definitely considered substitute teaching, a part of me wants to go back for a degree in elementary education, but that career path is not the most stable either. Ugh.

So I'm a 2008 graduate from a decent University with an International Business degree. I worked through all 5 years of school (it was a five year program), and also completed two internships ( one for a big e-commerece company, one in a PR agency). After graduation, I took a waitressing job to survive thinking it…

It sounds like even outside of the boyfriend situation this living arrangement isn't working for you, so moving out sounds pretty fair. Better to do it now, rather than letting the conflict fester and mess up your relationship with your sister in the long term. It sounds like you are really into this guy, I think it…

I made a good one last night actually. Crepes with roasted vegetables. I did butternut squash, mushrooms and leeks, but you could use whatever you like. I had great success with this recipe for the crepes:

I don't know how super cool this is, but paper bag puppets have always been a hit for me when crafting with boys. The folded bottom acts as a mouth, and you can decorate them with stuff from around the house.
