Yep, me too. I don't have the abs for crop tops, unfortunately.

I kind of like Miley's outfit. There, I said it.

You are correct: she is the best. She's a real Christian and we could use more of her.

Not gonna lie, I'm kinda jealous. I didn't even include friends in Sweden or Germany, only US based. Crap crap crap crap crap. I need to talk to fewer people (or at least fewer people who have partners).

I just did a super quick top-of-my-head list of who I would invite and had over 60 on my side and I don't have a large family! I gave a quick thought of who my current partner would invite should we decide to tie the knot and came up with like 50 for him and I'm probably underestimating. Crap :-(

Oh my gosh, you are my new favorite person! I have never really thought much about my wedding but have been obsessed with Gwen's dress (and with her generally) for years. You have just saved future me months of agony! Any chance they have it in green ...

I have only ever watched it on a plane but dear Lord does my boyfriend rail against that show. He thinks it paints all scientists/grad students in a negative light as though all have some sort of autism spectrum disorder and are obsessed with video games (he's an engineering grad student). Then I remind him of how…

Oooo! I went to Milwaukee for a wedding once and really liked it! I really ought to start making a list of Jesuit schools to keep an eye out for job openings.

I'm getting my PhD at UM and my sneaky little plan is to try to get a job at one of the Jesuit schools where they have exchanges with other Jesuit schools so that children of professors get free tuition at any of them. My friend went to Boston for her undergrad on this and it would probably make up for living in…

In state tuition at a UC Riverside, one of the cheaper UC schools, is expected to cost over $23K if you are living at home! On campus is over 32K per year. At the University of Michigan (a school that's endowment fared quite well through the financial crisis and has done really well since) estimates about 26-27K per…

I'm 30 and have been to about 15 weddings and stood up for 5 of them. I have a lot of ideas of what I would like. I had never really given it much thought in all of those weddings until I became really serious with my current partner. Now I think about it because we've talked about what we would both want and have…

This is a very good point. Apparently my mom used to get my brother ready for kindergarten, get him in the car, etc. start backing down the driveway and go "oh crap! The baby!" when I was very new. I guess after 5 years with one kid you get used to your routine and can just hope you remember everyone who's supposed to…

Ok, that's pretty hilarious. My mom did have a story of me in an Easter dress with a bow or hat or something and someone making a comment like that. I suppose that on some level it could drive a mother crazy enough (especially when she's already a little nutso like my mama) to buy something as ridiculous as these baby…

My mom did the same thing! Though she might have wanted to consider swapping me out of my brother's hand-me-downs if she was really so concerned. My future kid has no chance of hair for a while. Partner and I were both toe-heads growing up.

I'm not sure if this is better or worse than my mom taping bows to my head and people still exclaiming "Oh what a cute little boy!" Granted the rest of the clothes were likely my brother's hand-me-downs so I can understand their confusion.

Alternatively, have the reception someplace where you can bring in your own booze. My friends had an open bar at their wedding and two days before the wedding we headed over to Costco and bought $1000 worth of booze. Do you know how much booze you can get for $1000 at Costco?! It's insane! After the wedding they…

First question I thought of when I saw that picture: How do I get my stomach to look like that?

Ack, I missed the winky! I blame yesterday's head injury. I've been a little out of it since.

The breast milk thing is from women who are vegan and are donating breast milk, not the breast milk in and of itself being vegan.

I only have one of those remaining. She's a family friend who babysat me growing up. I always loved her and looked up to her. Now she puts up stuff about welfare blah blah blah Obama is ruining everything blah blah blah while the only reason she isn't on welfare is because her mom lets her and her 3 boys live in one…
