Leap Year is a movie I detest with every fiber of my being.  Before there were even any commercials I was offered tickets to a screening and the description made it seem like a play on It Happened One Night.  I sat through the whole thing thinking it must get better but it never did.  Even though the tickets were free…

Wegmans cherry pomegranate is my favorite. The watermelon is the best after a workout. Most weeks we pick up around 5 cases of seltzer water and it generally is a mix of Wegmans and Polar brand. If we happen to only be doing a Costco run that week then we grab the Costco brand.  I loved LaCroix but they are more…

I just bought a high waisted two piece on Amazon out of curiosity for how a $25 swimsuit from Amazon will fit, but beside that my general thoughts are:

I have gotten so in my head about effect and affect that I either look up to verify which one I want or just use a completely different word so I don’t screw it up. Basically, I know I will be judged, so I try to avoid the situation all together and unfortunately they come up a lot in my life.

Years ago I loved in a studio with my significant other and the hue lightbulbs were a god send when i went back to grad school. The main source of light was the recessed lighting and being able to control individual bulbs meant one of us could stay up and the other could go to bed without either having to have all the…

Hell the word dates can cause issues now days. Your comment reminded me of one of my husband’s stories about a work trip to Algeria (I believe it was to there). He came back with a giant box of dates and put it in the intern area which is where food for sharing was put. He then sent out an email to the office letting…

A husky guy with a beard and glasses, 100% my type.  Surprised this is so surprising to some people because I thought it was a not uncommon thing for people to have.

Wait, you can stop all car accidents from happening? That is awesome. What is your secret? Does this include the time the deer ran into my car while I was stopped? Or the time I fishtailed on black ice? Because pregnancy is not a given with sex (ask anyone that has had trouble conceiving), just as a car accident isn’t…

honestly, it is probably those two things.  back in my youth i worked at an apartment complex renting out apartments.  it was crazy how much more they would charge for short term rentals than long term.  additionally, we didn’t have furnished apartments, that would have to go through another group, but as i recall the…

I would like to add Katherine Hepburn/Spencer Tracy movies to this list. The two I am specifically thinking of are Adams Rib and Woman of the Year. I would also argue both are more feminist then many current movies. Haven’t seen Pat and Mike yet, so can’t comment on that one, and unfortunately don’t remember Desk Set…

I love wrap dresses, when they fit well. I have a black one I got from Gap Outlet for $3 and the only issue I have with it is it doesn’t have pockets.

At some point as a kid my parents bought me Crest Expressions cinnamon flavored toothpaste, and I love it, as I love cinnamon in general (cinnamon altoids are the best altoids).  Unfortunately, I think it is being discontinued because it is next to impossible to find.  I bought four tubes last time I found it and I am…

I thought you didn’t have to pay for school? Just want to make sure I understand exactly how great you are and how in comparison everyone else is a failure

Delta Touch2O is my favorite. When I bought my condo I got it and then when I bought a house I decided to upgrade again to it. I like that I can set the temperature and then turn it off and on as needed to avoid wasting water. I also like being able to tap it with an elbow when i need to wash my hands after touching…

It isn’t just one water park, there are a whole bunch of them. My first road trip through the Midwest we passed it and even though it was December (traveling for the holidays) we stopped and went to the indoor water parks on the way back because I was so excited at the idea.  

I can’t believe there aren’t more comments on this article as JtV is one of the best shows on TV right now and I am so happy it is back even if it is in its final season.  

A few years ago I was talking to a coworker about his daughter’s college search process and he mentioned that they had restricted her choices to state schools. I personally went to a small, liberal arts school and while I did not play the financial aid game well, I knew others that had.  I told him that they should…

My husband and I bought a house this past April in DC. This was my second real estate purchase, as I purchased a studio apartment in 2011, when it was substantially cheaper to buy than to rent. I also bought it with a no money down loan, and my closing costs were covered by the seller. I lived there for five years,…

I 100% agree, they are wonderful. Plus I just got special insoles for my high arches and they fit in perfectly without me having to size up.

That really stood out to me.  I know it isn’t an issue for the kids attending the school because they come from money and have that safety net but borrowing money is a way many people improve their lives, such as to buy a car to be able to get a better job, or to open a business, or to pay for college.  Borrowing…
