@SelfWrighteousMetsFan: @chatterboxwriting: I loved the Fudge books, as well as the racier books. When I was little, I so wanted to grow up to be like Beverly Cleary and Judy Blume—they were my girlhood heroes. I wanted to be Ramona, and I wanted to date Peter Hatcher.

@Spaceman Bill Leah has the Crazy Eyes: Yeah, I had to get pretty persistent with the J.Crew over two-three weeks trying to get my fiance's suit for our wedding. After getting on the horn with the Special Events people and going back and forth, not only did we get a suit weeks before they estimated it would be…

This is fucking thrilling. And for the record, I am a registered Republican. That was fucking inspiring.

Safe travels and have loads of fun!

@tscheese: Fellow commuter here! I'm total zen on the train (though the holiday season annoys me with ignorant day-trippers taking up my fellow daily commuter seats), but the shuttle I take is so wildly inconsistent that it drives me nuts. But that's another story—to stay on topic, I think taking it every day does…

@tscheese: But it seems like you have a system for when you travel, and I know I like traveling with people who have systems, instead of those who just kind of lollop about. Also, your systems sounds eerily close to mine (if I'm in an airport, I'm going through security and finding my terminal before finding a…

@little stripes: Amtrak in the Northeast is awesome—outlets everywhere, a bar car with a better selection of overpriced snacks, plus you can bring your own food on and it's not quite as expensive as, say, getting it at an airport. It's slower and potentially more expensive than flying, but the seats are bigger and…

@little stripes: Having gotten back into the habit of flying more than once a year lately, I've definitely started to appreciate that again. I love traveling alone on trains, though—cozying up with a DVD, a glass or two of wine and an Au Bon Pain sandwich is my idea of a leisure-filled travel experience.

@little stripes: I order from places that I either already know my size (like the Gap and its pants) and places with generous return policies (such as Anthropologie, which thanks to their wide selection of brands can be very hit or miss. Yoox is also really good). Taking away the instant gratification makes you judge…

I've definitely moved away from shopping at fast-fashion stores—mostly because they give me a headache and are too overwhelming. I've also taken to online shopping, mostly due to the fact that I seldom have time anymore to shop in a mall, and while it's tempting to order things through Anthropologie (praise the Lord…

@salmon.villa: Plus you'd get to boss around Giada DeLaurentiis's yummy husband, who is one of their designers.

@ilikenoise: ::fans self:: Oh, oh yes. Love me some N&S. Not only is he super-hot to look at, but that voice....

@amoureuse would like to borrow a dollar: It's made with delightful molasses...it's really a breakfast treat than a dessert. Mince pie, on the other hand, is another beast altogether...

@braak: Whenever my mom and I would head out to Lancaster to hit up the outlets, I couldn't help but shake my head at the hundreds of cars and tour buses parked to see a "Real Life Amish Farm!" as it was just so...odd. Then again, there are many odd things along US-30 in Lancaster, such as the hotel with the fake silo…

@TaraIncognita: @Meg: I miss that show so much...

This is totally late, but we just figured out that my fiance and John Stamos have the same birthday, which makes my fiance very excited—as if some of the hotness that is the John Stamos rubs off on him (hell, they are both Mediteranean in origin, and they are both getting criminally handsomer as they get older). So,…

@bitchplease: Those are the titles they use, at least when it's written. You address priests as "Father," but the head of the parish is the pastor, and their formal title is Reverend.

@ceejeemcbeegee: I would imagine so. The priest who's marrying us is literally our age, and is very cute, but I think they put them through "The Thorn Birds—Let's Not Say We Did" training in seminary, because while he is perfectly nice (and quite cute), he's very solemn and lectured us about us cohabitating.

Oh good—I really wanted to see this, and now that it seems like it is "more than a threesome," I can convince the fiance to come see it in the theater. Bonus—we can get tapas at the awesome restaurant across the street from this super-nice little downtown theater...

So sorry that Kelli is gone—she seems like she'd be fun to have a cocktail with. Blayne should have gone home for that horrible mess—shorts? Yes, longer shorts are being accepted into office dress codes, but no self-respecting executive would wear anything like that in an office.
