Oh my! I would have fainted dead away, haha.

There are all sorts of delicious men on that show. And it's beautifully-acted to boot!

I don't get it, what's wrong with cheese? It's a good protein in moderation. She sounds like an insecure weirdo.

You can't go wrong with chicken and rosemary. Sounds delish.

Do you watch Downton Abbey? Because it sounds like you want Mr. Bates - not that I blame you!

Hooray! How liberating that will be.

I just stop making plans with that person - or I let them make all the plans and don't put in the work myself. Less disappointment that way. I do get very irritated, though I don't take it personally. I'm actually on the outs with my mother-in-law right now because she probably canceled on me about 80% of the time the

Wow, that's a weird one! Kind of hilarious, albeit inconvenient for the ol' bank account. I get night terrors a few times a month and tend to talk in my sleep as well.

It's a powerful piece. It got me all emotional too. Glad other people enjoyed it.

Same here. It actually moved me to tears.

Slightly unrelated, and I don't identify as Christian and haven't for several years, but I stumbled upon this link yesterday and it gave me chills: [frankviola.org]

I don't know why I didn't even think of that point, but it's a great one. I know a lot of women who started on birth control to clear up skin problems or treat bad periods/endometriosis/hormone imbalances long before they ever chose to have sex, myself included.

Obama breathing the wrong way gives them fuel for their fires. Who gives a fuck at this point? Nothing makes them happy.

Then maybe Catholic entities like hospitals and universities shouldn't take public funds.

Have you tried washing your hair in the morning? I've found that no matter the shampoo, I simply cannot wash my hair at night unless I want it looking/smelling greasy by about 2 PM the next day. :( Oily hair is such a pain.

Fair enough! SGK seems like it's not too willing to think anything through, so it wouldn't surprise me.

I confess I splurged a little at Baby Gap this winter just because they had bold colors - black, navy, mustard yellow, etc. Not sure what they have for girls, but they had something beyond the typical fare for boys, which was nice. And actually everything I bought I'm going to put my second kid in, boy or girl.

I had a complicated relationship with pink myself - I think it's a typical growing-up-with-feminist-leanings conundrum. I didn't WANT to like pink, because people wanted me to like it. But I also found myself drawn to pink because I found it an attractive color, but felt like actually expressing my fondness for it was

I was born in '85 and was dressed very similarly to what you describe. Gender binary stuff with children has become much sharper in the last decade or so, it seems.

I have a pink onesie with a big ol' red heart and a picture of The Beatles on it. My little 13-year-old sister (you know, that glorious time of gender binary bullshit) was like "Well what are you going to do with THIS?" I smiled serenely and said, "Put him in it, of course."
