AAU blows my mind.  The amount of money parents and kids are expected to put out is unbelievable.  

And the rocket’s red glare

And like, how long is this taking? I’ve called 911 for *actual* emergencies (I found an unconscious woman on the sidewalk at 5am, I had a family member having a seizure) and the response time left a lot to be desired. It seems like if I called with, “I don’t like this person at the community pool” they’d be like,…

Proud of my guy Princeton historian Kevin Kruse for getting a shout out. I started following him on Twitter some time last year and he is so amazing. Check out his beat down of Dinesh D’Souza the other day.  A true masterpiece. 

A woman I know from high school has this cycle on Facebook: “I only need my daughters” “I am a strong independent woman” memes followed by, “find you a man who loves you for who you are” memes, followed by pictures of guy and tagging him in “we are so in love” inspirational quotes and pictures of them “as a family.” A…

I had heard they were missing, then saw the headline that they were found alive.  I had no idea until today that they were still stuck there and could be for awhile.  How terrifying!

Also how else would I get my back in a bathing suit/tank top when I’m alone? I’m not a contortionist.

“Support Seniors “Show Solidarity with Puerto Rico” Wow, what a nightmare. Who would do such a thing. 

And, “Just give me a call. I’ll be there. On time!” I can already picture the locally produced commercial. 

I’ve been following this story for awhile. You may be right but part of me believes its because it happened when he was 15. They only found out because he didn’t check-in in Oregon as a registered sex offender. Most juvenile records are sealed.

Buttermilk Falls and Tagahanok Falls are beautiful but also super close to the road/ not much of a hike. Watkins Glen is obviously amazing and perfect. I would go early in the morning so there’s less people. If you’ve time take the 1 1/2hour-ish drive to Letchworth State Park, totally worth it.

OMG as I was reading her post I was thinking about eShakti. I love it SO MUCH. 

I LOVE London. I traveled solo there and never felt unsafe.  You can also take the train to places like Oxford, Dover, Cambridge, Bath, etc. and its very convenient!

Its pretty weird. I had a family member commit suicide and we know he didn’t go quickly. I honestly hope he was messed up and didn’t feel it as much. 

Ive never met a black person who said, “Gosh” much less the rest of that stupid sentence. 

Or when people come in late and instead of just sitting somewhere, they instead stand there talking to each other about where to sit, argue about their decisions and then make the highest number of people possible move around so they can find the perfect seat. 

Also when Koko meets Mr. Rogers and takes his shoes off for him. 

Which is sooo crazy to me because everybody jumps on teachers and tenure. We get attacked all the time about how its impossible for us to lose our jobs (it’s not) while the same is basically true at most companies.

Dudes. Get an avocado slicer. It changed my life.

Ugh. Agreed. I’m a woman and a huge baseball nerd but I even clicked on this article like, “But I hate her and that movie.”
