To preface: I have a lot of weird sleep... things. As a kid, I would get pretty serious night terrors. If you don’t know what that is, it’s when you wake up (but not really) screaming. With your eyes open. As you can imagine, I was a delight to raise.

I have been WAY too invested in this season of Below Deck. I havebeen all over twitter. I am blocked by Bravo celebs and i wear those blocks like a badge of honor because they’re the worst of the worst: Landon, Miss Patricia, that one bosun Brian? From a Below Deck Med season.

As a purported joke, when he married my mom, he said when she turned 40,he’d trade her in for two 20s.

Good news, bad news.

Thank you. It isn’t easy. I’ve actually written anonymously on the Internet (including here, I think) about what happened, every so often, at least as far back as 2006, both for reassurance that what Dr. Archibald did really was wrong — I always struggled with the thought that maybe he was right that there were…

A few years ago when I started going back to school, I came on Jezebel and posted about it and some people were saying “Go you!” And praising me for being a woman seeking a degree in engineering (I didn’t even mention I was 40 at the time, so not just a woman, but a middle aged woman). And it was so fantastic to have…

So, I’ve posted on here about my attempts to get pregnant, and how stressful it is because I’m looking to switch jobs next school year. Earlier this week, on a post about Meghan Markle’s pregnancy, I sadly shared that we were officially at month 5 with no baby. Then... my period was late. And I took another pregnancy…

AIRLINE BOOKING TRIUMPH ALERT: Just booked the only nonstop flight from SF to New Orleans for Mardi Gras 2019. Online it was a reasonable $512 but the website gave me an error message so I called in. By some amazing luck, when the agent booked it, it was $100 LESS! $412 NONSTOP TO MARDI GRAS :::DOING THE MAMBO:::

Witchy nails!

It’s a dinner that raises money for Catholic charities, and Gaffigan has said that he (or at least his wife) is Catholic, so that’s my guess.

Bye bitch, I’m sure we’ll see you in 2024.

Hey! Remember Lena both claimed to be a feminist on the side of all women and then defended an accused rapist and threw shade on his alleged black woman victim? Good times, good times.

Not my story, but a story that I’ve heard from a friend a while ago. Therefore, sorry for the lack of details.

I think he'll be a great father. They both have the advantage of having all the help in the world when parenting gets tough! 

I saw that coat and I KNEW IT. I know they’re ridiculously rich celebrities and I have no real interaction with them and I don’t CARE, I’m very happy for them. I think Harry has wanted kids for a long time. (Whether that will translate into being a great father is, of course, up for discussion.)

Yay Baby!

I finally landed a job! A few months before I graduated in June, I got struck with “uh, what am I going to do with my life after I graduate?” and it’s been one long mental breakdown ever since. I slipped into the worst depression of my life and I applied for this job at 3 AM thinking I would never be considered for it…

I told a very condensed version of this in a comment to one of the Jez horror story posts maybe about five? years ago, so I’m officially submitting this now. Now with bonus pics. 

I submitted this last year, too, because it is the best dang spooky thing that ever happened to me.

YES. My favorite. Also, the “Trump is president” submissions are boring and unoriginal.
