Familial love means being able to answer the question, “You know, that place we went with the thing?”

To be fair: she totally could do exactly what he did, with the exact same result.

“What was the name of that movie I hated about the total idiot?”

It’s a definite shift in the vernacular and I hate it so much.

Oh god I TOTALLY wanted to build one of those cute little library boxes and put it outside but... WELL, I don;t live in the best area and I think someone would probably destroy it? BUT IT WOULD BE SO COOL. I just want to share books with everyone.

I had a baby on Sunday! We induced early because I had preeclampsia, so I was in the hospital starting Friday evening but by Saturday night it was obvious that my body was not going to cooperate and we ended up with a c-section (worst thing that’s ever happened to my body) but the great thing is that the baby is…

The baby is 10 weeks old and significantly less of a little shit than she was in the first 6 weeks.

So in less than three weeks, my divorce from my abuser will be final. I am so freaking excited, y’all! How should I celebrate? My kid will be out of town with her grandparents, so what should I do? I thought maybe I’d feed my wedding ring to an alligator, then wrestle the alligator, then kill and eat the alligator,…

I went to the beach a few blocks from my house. I love lake life.

Look at all this stuff I got done yesterday evening! LOOK AT IT! Unfortunately I have a messy-ass family and half of it needs to be done again, but I can't because I'm very busy patting myself on the back.

Applied for QA at work. Had my boss write me a list of accomplishments(I don’t pay attention, I’m not usually much for ego)

It took me over a decade, and borrowing from three different libraries, but I finally finished reading Umberto Ecco’s The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana. Feelin’ accomplished! I normally am a really fast reader.

I have this dress in red and, I must say, I'm extremely pleased that I might've shaking people to their very core.

My dad saw a girl get attacked by a dog. He pulled over his van and was running toward her with a tire iron to get the dog off of her. She was lucky she was wearing a heavy coat with a hood because that kept the dog from grabbing her by the back of the neck. That dog was going for a kill. The owner was able to call…

Every time I see a story like this it make me love my husband a little more. For all the times he makes me cringe while doing it, he is Mr. Gets Involved In Shit. He calls 911 more than any person I’ve even met to report things like debris on the freeway. He once made a huge scene a restaurant bolting over to a…

My mentally and physically disabled brother goes to camp each summer, it’s called Camp SMILE in Alabama, ages 5-50 and they get to experience all the things one does at camp. He’ll go in a month, and I’m so happy that he is able to go, it’s not easy to find places for those like my brother and on top of that take…

It is pretty daunting to see how many pounds I need to lose.

Ok I need to share. I left a terrible, emotionally-abusive marriage two years ago. I haven’t dated since then. I was working on myself and focusing on my two little men and work. Anyway, last night after what seemed like an eternity, I finally GOT SOME. From a HOT 24-year-old (I’m 34). It was exactly what I needed it…

Um ok, so I know I don’t post much, but the last time I posted it was in a “brag thread” and I was all happy that a guy I work with who’s ten years younger than me had a crush on me. And I said I wasn’t going to do anything about it since we work together, even though I like him back. Yeah. Well.

We put our 7 week old baby in her own room in her crib starting 3 nights ago. She’s a grunter and flails around noisily in her sleep. She’s perfectly content, but we couldn’t sleep with her in the bedroom with us. Well the past two nights she has slept from 12-5:30/6 and then from 7-9:30. It’s the most sleep I’ve had…
