WORD. I weighed 123 in high school. And I was so insecure and thought I was fat and ugly. I may be fat now but I know I’m not ugly. And I have some self image.

Zulily has great Sales on dresses. No returns though so I usually play it safe. Also, Macy’s online has a huge variety and often at great prices.

As long as you have bright accessories nobody can disapprove, and you can even get dressed in the dark!

That was my work uniform. Dresses in a black & something print (or solid color) with black tights/leggings, or black skirt/dress with brightly colored tights/leggings. Add cardigan in winter, remove tights in summer. So easy.

TO EACH THEIR OWN ANIMAL ASS.

I KNOW RIGHT?! EXCEPT ALL DOGS.

I did! It was a good movie plus he has that adorable pup through the whole thing.

It’s from The Drop which is a awesome movie. He has that pup with him all the time!!

I’ll second everything but our city almost burning to the ground. Cause, I live here. And it’s more like one building burned while hundreds of protesters’ civil rights were violated. In Baltimore hundreds of black residents are regularly persecuted and abused by the police. And some people rioted.

These folks ran in elite circles here in Baltimore. She was most definitely a trophy wife (and second wife) to the president of the local behemoth utility company, formerly president of a large accounting firm. She always had a really odd vibe about her- very much like the “cool mom” from mean girls. Sadly, she has…

ICE BURNNNNN

In every way, shape, and form. Will always make me laugh.

That photo is HORRIFYING.

Right? I never ever wear pants except jeans. waist-to-hip ratio is too much. skirts and dresses are a life-saver for me.

You know, I’m short and muscular and very curvy and I carry waaaaaay more weight than anyone ever expects. I wore a size 6 when I weighed 145 (at 5’2”). I know Amy’s taller so I’m betting it’s pretty accurate.

Perfection

I STILL LOVE THAT SCENE. Also, Christopher Meloni played Val’s husband.

My mother called me “the princess” from “The Princess and the Pea” when I was growing up. I also couldn’t use Ivory soap or baby shampoo. Still can’t wear wool or cashmere or anything remotely scratchy. I have to wash all clothing before I can wear it or massive hives. These are the only times I can survive in.

Thanks! I have little wide fingers so a traditional ring style wasn’t gonna cut it. Plus I was more into sapphires than diamonds after working in jewelry retail earlier on- you had that experience where you used to like things you now don’t? And for diamonds, I just recommend my friends go for antique. There are pics…

I got my engagement ring from my friend, who gets his jewelry for his store from estate sales. Awesome antique white gold setting, lab-created stone- a real one that size/clarity would be way out of my price range, which was a couple hundred dollars! I don’t wear it often- just my thin gold band on the left hand- but…
