“some wonderful and some difficulties. I very much look forward to dealing with the president in the future, including counsel.”

Patience of a saint.

Anyone else been ill all day? I feel like I have a combination of mono, being left at the altar, and kicked in the groin. Exercise helped. And I’m super proud of myself for only eating ONE pint of Ben and Jerry’s vegan Chunky Monkey.

I’m not a huge cry-er. I take things on the chin and move on. I felt such immense pride casting my vote for such a qualified and amazing woman earlier today. I stopped and took the moment in. I immediately saved my I voted sticker.

I was a John Mayer fan

Also the choir version of “When Doves Cry” one of my all time favorites

We just lost our sweet love, after sixteen years of cuddles, hamming it up for fortune cookies, and blatantly misunderstanding the purpose of screen doors. We never dressed up as a giant squirrel, but the real ones outside the window always gave him joy after gnawing on stuffed plush ones.

Opportunity to post pics of my dog in costume? Yes, please!

My dog would freak out for a life sized lobster toy.

I was so embarrassed about this story that I only just recently started sharing it with people. Back in 2005, when I was 17, my then-boyfriend and I did a 3-week detox diet to cleanse our systems. The minute we’d completed the diet we went to see Brokeback Mountain in theatres. I ordered the largest Pepsi and popcorn…

I have IBS. It was finally diagnosed my last year of high school. (Fun fact, my parents didn’t believe that I’d stopped pooping until I ended up getting an MRI for abdominal pain. My surgeon father saw the scans and went, “I can’t believe you had such an expensive test to tell me something I already knew: that you’re…

I’m a person with chronic nausea and diarrhea. I’m of the age where I can just be out alone, or with my dude, and pop into any building and say I’M SO SORRY I JUST FOUND OUT IM PREGNANT AND I REALLY NEED TO USE THE BATHROOM.

Oh omg this just reminded me so vividly of my own similar experience: I was in college, watching a movie with this guy I was sort of seeing. Not a lot of comfort between us, yet, is what I mean. Still in the hiding our farts phase. But I really liked him. He lived in an old house with a bunch of housemates but they…

Oh my god one time in freshman year I was in Harvard Square at 1 in the morning having just tried to stop the dam against drunkenness at Felipe’s and I really had to pee to I ran down into a loading dock and only discovered after I was done that I had accidentally soiled a pigeon.

Maybe it’s just because I was a little older when That’s So Raven came out, but it didn’t have nearly the impact on me that Boy Meets World did. That show was...just perfection, in so many ways, and such a big part of so many people’s childhoods, and I think that’s contributed a huge amount to Girl Meets World’s…

I told my classmates in second grade that I was a descendant of Kirsten from the American Girl series. To be fair, I thought there was a possibility until I understood what fiction was, and when I asked my grandma about it, she didn’t want to hurt my feelings, so told me there was a possibility.

I frequently bled through my clothes in high school. It was mortifying! I had several dedicated flannel shirts for tying around my waist, dark jeans, and always checked my seat when I got up (yes, it was that bad). If a male teacher had said anything to me I would have burst into tears, and then flames, and then died.…

I started to text a lie to my friend yesterday, saying I was not home, as she wanted to do a pop-in. But then I envisioned her maybe driving through my apartment lot and seeing my car, so I told her to come on by.
