Bathrobes are not a scam! They are so cozy and warm, which is great if you are waiting for your UberEats outside, or staying home sick, or just trying to summon up the willpower to leave your nice, warm bed for the sad, chilly realities of your basement apartment.

You might be sensing jealousy. i dont know your neighborhood  scene, but a lot of mothers might be fantasizing about living your life and it reads as cold. anyway, its a possibility.

In defense of all 11 year old girls: when I was 11, in sixth grade, my best friend and I performed a fashion show for our whole middle school class. There wasn’t a curtain on the stage, so our plan was to change outfits by wearing all the clothes as once and pulling off each outfit until we were in bathing suits.…

In other countries, it’s perfectly normal for a kid to live with their parents for quite some time if they’re not living with a partner or spouse. I’ve always thought our culture of encouraging you to leave the house as soon as possible to be a little strange.

What a cute little guy! Such a sweet furry face!

I may be too late for this to be read, but I am going to post anyway because I GOT THE JOB!!! AAHHH!! I am so so excited. It starts about 6 months after my current fellowship ends, which is a small issue because I would like to avoid the resume gap. But I am going to travel, and get back in shape, and do all the…

Samwise!

Thing were dicey with the grandma funeral—she was intensely Catholic, and I haven’t been to church in nearly ten years, which I know broke her heart and my mother’s, too. Both love(d) me A LOT and were very loving towards me and supportive. Still, mom gives me quite a bit of grief about not going to church and being a…

Hello everyone!

Happy (early) Halloween! Yesterday we had a veritable Halloween marathon, attending 5 parties/trick or treating shindigs. BB-Amy was there and was a hit! So how’s your Halloween weekend going?

Of all the superhero/villain origin stories, ‘swam in toxins while assisting professional mermaid’ is right up there.

Excuse me? I have *always* known that I wanted to be a professional mermaid.

I’ve always pictured that building as the boarding house too! I’m kinda jealous you lived there.

So uh, here is how I handled that: I would nap while my young one was watching 60 minutes of her favorite shows. I would lay down on the couch on my side, and my little one would sit in the crook area where my legs were “curled”. So she was effectively watching what she wanted and I got the nap I so desperately…

I do it too, because I agree that the special Italianate size names are stupid as fuck. I’ve never had a Starbucks employee question it or have a problem.

I steadfastly refuse to use Starbucks’ stupid sizing system. Small, medium, and large, people. Tall and grande are both subjective words that mean, vaguely, “big,” and I refuse to give space in my brain to memorizing which means small and which means medium according to Starbucks dumbass logic. Small, medium, or large.

I support judging grocery stores by their grapes. It’s pretty much the most important part.

LOL! I love this so much. Fantastic work daughter praireocean and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours 💖

Omg that’s amazing.

No no, friend. Modifications are ok. You do what’s right for your body. Take care of you and you’ll hopefully get thru your injury quickly!
