That denim utility belt is so cute.  I might need one for myself.

I don’t like Me-Again, and I live to see what terrible things her stylist puts her in, but the sunglasses were to show solidarity with Joy, who had cataract surgery. They all started the show wearing sunglasses.

He’s gonna eat it:

“Drrty” is a national treasure.

This was the private school where I taught.  Some of my students had the gall to complain about being cold in my classroom during the dead of winter when they came to school in shorts and not even a jacket.  They warmed up when I roasted them.

Bill Maher.  I can’t stand his smug face.  When my boyfriend wants to get me riled up, he asks if I want to watch Bill Maher.  I have actually hissed at that suggestion because I hate him so much.

I’m getting Kody from “Sister Wives” vibes.

If a flight is over 10 hours, I will try to upgrade to business class. I use the airline’s app and use that to upgrade. For entertainment, I read magazines on the app Texture and books on my Kindle. Right before dinner I take an Ambien and sleep until it’s time for breakfast.

Compression socks are a game changer.  

I have friends who will hide toys for a few weeks before a long flight and then when they pull them out on the plane, the kids are excited because they’d forgotten about them.

Are those people in the picture at the top real? Their skin is so perfect. Are they wax? 

Thanks.  It’s been tough, but it has helped me gain perspective on a lot of things.

I am 37 years old and I’m taking a year off from teaching. After repatriating after 12 years of living abroad, the death of my father and a very tough year in the classroom, I’m taking a step back and reevaluating my life. I’m working on writing a novel, working on my crocheting and knitting and tomorrow I’m starting…

If you get HamNo’s number, can you send it to me? I think he’s cute.

I’ve never heard the song and I’m not going to. I’m going to keep pretending that this song about doing a tiny amount of cocaine. Just a tiny little bump.

Monistat Anti-chafing Powder Gel is amazing. It lasts all day.

We had a gathering in Beijing.

The lady who babysat me was a big fan of soap operas. As a result, everyone in my family had to have a talk with 4-year-old me about why it was not appropriate for me to try to kiss them “Like Luke kisses Laura.” Such fun.
