I have the cutest pair of shoes that I bought long before getting pregnant, never had anything to wear them with, then rediscovered post-baby once I had a suit that worked with them. Alas, they are far too small to be worn for longer than 10 minutes now. :-(

I try to get around this somewhat by using plastic to store/transport the food (usually leftovers I'm taking to work for lunch) but then put it on a plate or in a regular bowl before microwaving and eating it.

I'll contribute to your anecdata by saying, "ooo...me!"

On the topic of color, ROYGBIV something, and I instantly want it. I don't need new towels or a mug or a picture frame. But if you have a nice, neat rainbow of them, suddenly I want all the things.

As I was trying to say...Curses! Target stores are always set up to force this counter-clockwise circuit. Is this really a thing? I'm going to start going backwards through Target stores.

Curse

I can still feel how embarrassed I was when my parents would really call attention to something I had done that showed I was "smart." Usually these were things (like my SAT and ACT scores) that, while impressive to others, were not really achievements. I was a really good test-taker. But no one got excited about…

Yes! This. How do you manage your time and productivity when much of what you do during the day is influenced or determined by outside forces (clients, the boss man, co-workers, deadlines, etc.)

But Mythbusters said not to keep a loaded gun in the oven because it really can go off.

Make sure that whoever is making it in the morning knows what they are doing. Some people (and I will admit to being one of them) really don't know an appropriate amount of ground coffee to put in to make a decent pot of coffee, so it ends up being way too strong or way too weak. Another would be to pick up a bottle…

At least the two most important words in your server handwriting are legible - "add bacon."

tl;dr :-)

I remember that cereal! Damn, no wonder I'm such a fatty.

Yeah, I was born in 1981 and was always under the impression I had missed Gen-X by a few years and was solidly in its poorly-defined loser of a younger sibling, Gen-Y. I'm sure as hell not a Millennial, but I also feel slightly out of place with most of my Gen-X friends. Really, I'm pretty happy not to be labeled. I…

Wow, so you're that guy I hate on the interstate. Nice to meet you. If you start to tailgate me, I will not speed up unless I am actually driving below the speed limit. Do you know why? Because you are not entitled to go any faster than the speed limit. If I am in the left lane, I will try to get over to the right as…

I've never seen a commercial where some old lady is like, "I carry my diabetes around with me like this creepy cymbal-playing monkey!"

So true!

It's completely a waste of emotion, but I feel the same way. Stupid Newsstand.
