Currently visiting Istanbul and seriously these cats couldn’t give less of a shit about anyone or anything we would want. ‘Oh, this grocery store? Why don’t I take a nap in the window RIGHT NEXT TO THE FRESH MEAT?’ Or, ‘man, inside the Aya Sofia seems like an awesome and appropriate place for me to spend my afternoon’

I used to totally feel like that, but now I’m like: that’s actually a great idea! It’s professional photos that actually kind of look like us! The thing about wedding photos is that I feel like they aren’t super representative of who you really are. I mean, no photo shoot really will be, but to have some where you are…

My lips are kind of small and my teeth kind of big, so this actually IS my natural face. My boyfriend always says “Svenska, close your mouth!” but it takes more effort! I don’t think she’s in the same situation though.

David is the best. He is a treasure lost to America. At least we had him for 5 years ...

I have some of their stuff. I actually really like a lot of it, but the really cute stuff is crazy expensive, so most months I just skip. But the leggings are pretty thick and the tops are good. My problem is that I think I misordered sizes when I bought the first few months, so the leggings have a tendency to fall…

OMG, finally, something is made just for 5’7” me!

A close friend of mine posted that the other day and it made me so sad. She’s been a bigger girl and is raising a daughter whom I love deeply. Her response to the video was “Lol, I need to stop eating.” I was angry at this dumbass woman who made the video, but absolutely heartbroken that a friend who has consistently…

That’s what I always thought was the logic behind that. People have different price points and different relationships with those around them. For my cousin’s wedding, they had registered for some lovely but expensive place settings. Maybe an aunt or uncle could have bought that, but they are few and far between. So…

It’s just a series of conservative dog-whistle catchphrases strewn together. Which explains why no one can hear or understand her.

That bothered me almost as much as Boots & Jeans, BBQ AND Beans. Why can’t we be consistent: either ampersand or and. Not both.

So what if it is going up? It is increasing from a lower base because the rate at which people divorce is decreasing in age, right? It would have to be an incredibly sharp increase at 32 to make it better to marry before 25. I’m too lazy to actually look at the study, but I also wonder whether these are only first…

I would agree with Spriginthebigcity, solely because Drake is such a step down from Common, who is the greatest ever. She’s already done better than Drake.

I didn’t know that Donutgate happened near my hometown! I also still don’t actually know what happened in this scandal, but yay Riverside County!

My aunt’s brother did this at his wedding when I was a kid. I thought it was the coolest thing ever and still sort of do. If it weren’t for that fact that wherever we marry will necessitate at least half of our guests flying in, I would be doing this without question. I’m a terrible person and I don’t care.

Tennis =/= LPGA

I wish they allowed younger people to get it as well. I had shingles a year and a half ago (yay academic job market stress) as an incredibly fit, healthy person. It was a tiny patch, but, God, I can’t imagine a worse outbreak or when I’m older and/or less healthy. My back hurts just thinking about it. Give me ALL THE…

I feel all those nice things about my dad (he’s a cool guy), but I don’t feel the need to share them with everyone I’ve ever met on Facebook. It’s just lame.

Damn, why did I think she went to USC? I am so ashamed of myself :-(

She has an MBA from USC! And no, I didn’t need to look that up.

I think the best American comparison is above Spirit Airlines but below Frontier.
