That's essentially what my bad-ass mother drilled into me today. I am not going to feel like a victim of this because I was the one who chose to ignore every.single.red.flag. Including taking a girl on a date and getting wasted and making out while I was on vacation AND while I lent him my car. I'm now like "Booots,…

I'm spending another Saturday night at home. I've had the roughest months I've ever had. My 1+ year relationship ended in flames, and he's a co worker and part of a tight group of friends. So, my social life is on hold for a bit.

I will start making these. I live in Rhode Island, land of Dunkin Donuts, so the breakfast market here is cornered by maple syrup filled waffles with sausage in-between. While that's kind of awesome in its own way, I am challenged to bring breakfast tacos to southern New England. Refried beans are the greatest and…

oh holy hell that sounds exciting. are eggs the breakfast key ingredient?

Breakfast always perplexed me because I absolutely hate breakfast foods and never knew how to shop for myself once I got all grown up. No breakfast bars, no cereal, no fruit/nut combos or smoothies make me happy in the stomach. It's all bird feed to me, and I have the unfortunate tendency to want to eat meat, cheese…

I'm a little concerned about my reliance upon makeup for self-esteem, and my delusion that I look horrific without makeup.

Giiiirllll Dolores Hart is the famous lady whom screenwriter Scott Rudnick sought and studied when he was set to write a movie based on her life... a little movie that later turned out to be.. SISTER ACT. That's right. Dolores Hart is the loose inspiration for Deloris van Cartier aka Sister Mary Clarence!

Oh hellz yeah!

The former Apple VP of Retail and now JC Penny's name is Ron Johnson, for what it's worth. I keep finding it odd that the articles on Jezebel reference him but never name him.

The best part of Book Club Fight Club were the brightly colored blouses.

I anticipated, I did it anyway. He was really, really, really handsome. And interesting and sweet and also totally fucked in the head. I'm in an office breakup right now and I just wish I hadn't gone there, because of the crying in the bathroom and other painful daily encounters. But we had a good run. It still sucks…

Thank you :) Internet hug accepted.

How on earth did you get over that so quickly? I'm impressed and amazed.

Oh lord. I cried at work today. I cry at work often.

Oohh dang I guess I'm that girl. But I felt the same way! I hope it was...intentional?

I'm devastated by her beauty.

Tracie, no mention of Adele's performance gown and the ultra-distracting white satin grandma bra underneath her sheer top panel?

You could kill them with kindness, but I hate that. I hate that I would have to give my kindness to people who don't extend it to me. I am kind to kind people; that's how I make all my friends.

I love your anecdotal evidence. I really like when comments can be made in this fashion. It gives so much context and food for thought. It also slaps the critical bitchy shit out of our mouths when a (hesitantly) self-proclaimed former "video ho" explains herself with honesty and warmth. Thanks!!

Re: VS Angels: It is pretty prestigious, even though it's hardly fashion. Many iconic models walk the VS runway, and if nothing it is showcasing the most famous faces and bodies, not lingerie. Heidi, Tyra, Chanel Iman, Karlie Kloss, Gisele... who wouldn't consider this the modeling holy grail of exposure?
