I use kale & baby spinach, about a handful each. Not sure if that works for you? I also add frozen blueberries, a banana, ginger, filtered water and a couple of ice cubes.

Listening on ESPN radio. Just dealt with the Kings going into double OT last night, hoping they don't do that for soccer. (Tell me they have shootouts for the World Cup?) I am a bit concerned that apparently I can't go a full day without following a game, any game.

This happened in Canada too. There were scholarly articles written in the 70s-80s about Catholic homes for Mothers there. I don't know if they buried babies in septic tanks, but the nuns did not fret too much when the children got sick and died. In fact, it was seen as kind of a mercy, because that way the child…

I love the Kate Mulgrew episode where she plays a snooty socialite. That show was golden.

I can't take a character called "Dawson" seriously...

The Tony Awards are tonight! Someone posted this on twitter today. Apparently Madonna and Angela Lansbury were both at the Tonys in 1988. All day long I have been thinking about how awesome a Murder, She Wrote episode guest-starring Madonna would have been.

It's so stupid because no one bats an eyelash when a woman is coached by a man. Sure, there are physiological differences between men & women. But Mauresmo knows what it's like to compete at a high level, she's been coaching, and she can certainly read the latest research on training programs and diet. It's just…

So, I started swimming again! Just in the pool at my apartment building, and only about 6 lengths, but it felt good. I haven't really swum since 2008. I can't really breaststroke anymore (the frog kick is hard when you haven't done it in 6 years) but my crawl is still kind of okay. When I was a kid, I loved the pool…

Yeah, men are often socialized to think that asking for help is a weakness. I know my Dad resisted antidepressants for a long time when he was recovering from surgery and couldn't work. Finally he gave in and took the Zoloft, but it was a big thing for a working class guy in his 70s to admit that he was depressed.

I know I never do naked bongo playing with someone unless I've banged him first...

I actually like that if they had to give out this "award" they picked someone in her 40s. Sandra Bullock also was open about doing Miss Congeniality 2 because she wanted a buddy-cop film with women. I like her, I think she's smarter than most actresses (she got into producing) and has been trying to break new…

Dreams! They can be amazingly nonsensical. I fell asleep with the tv on once and had a dream that Kim Kardashian married the old man from the Oreck vacuum ads. It was hilarious and awesome, but when I woke up I was just like...what?

I went through this from 2008-10. I hope that things get better for you. My mom is mentally ill but untreated, so it was especially rough. One strategy I used to keep myself at a safe distance from all the family drama was to think of myself as an anthropologist who was just temporarily observing the home/town/retail…

Your life event is just as valid as their life events. Unless the boss can/will poison the UK branch of the industry you work in against you (and hopefully she is not THAT evil), don't mold your life to fit their needs.

I stupidly tried to dye my hair with a box dye. Now I have hot roots and the color is uneven. I just...why did I do this!? *sigh*

How do you clean the floor without messing up the tape? Also, how does the tape hold up in the bathroom with all the moisture?

D'aww! That's sweet.

I feel like I've heard this from plus-sized actresses before (Marissa Jaret Winokur for example). I wish a plus-sized celeb would invest in/slap her name on a high quality lifestyle line like some other celebs do for lines that are 0-12. Like a GOOP for sane people.

I mean, how are your relationships otherwise, with co-workers, friends etc? If you have a problem relating to people in general, it might be worth doing some counseling. I wouldn't place to much emphasis on getting laid for the first time, after losing it I remember feeling happy, but basically felt the same as…

When I was in college I had a roommate who took out an additional student loan to spend on marijuana and prescription drugs. So, I guess marijuana addiction could be a thing, although it isn't for most people. I never really thought about it before. Any time someone's use of a substance is leading them to have…
