Oh diapers. As a teacher/nanny, I am always bemused by parents who are frustrated with potty training. If you train a child to use diapers, you will ostensibly have to train them not to use those diapers at some point. Not necessarily relevant the article, but there you go.

So I’m getting to the point where I’m pretty sure I need to leave the relationship I’m in. The dude is like my best friend, but there are issues in our relationship that we need to work on if we will continue and it’s becoming more evident he just isn’t willing to do the work. I have made one last attempt at…

It was just twins, but I could see how the shiftiness of her story arc could multiply itself like that.

Or maybe she’s had three years to grow and develop and realize that you can be proud of your body and still be a feminist.

I have never bought a house, but from friends who have, I have heard that the first time home buyers plan is pretty great (if you’re a first time home buyer!) Also, I love to taunt myself with things I cannot have, so of all the real estate websites I find Redfin to be the most user friendly. I often fantasize about…

The lipstick that Busy Phillips is wearing is phenomenal. I must have it. It will not look as spectacular on me and I will be devastated.

Wow, you guys are cranky.

I took the SNL skit where she breaks into Jake Tapper’s place to be less of a parody and more of a reenactment of actual events.

Yay Busy Philips. I’ve always liked her. Her kid was friends with a kid I babysat and she was at the house one time and the mom was lamenting to her about how they were losing me (I moved to Portland) and she told me I had a very Portland vibe about me. I took it as a compliment.

Paul: “Will you take me back to Canada with you?”

I made a veggie lasagna today which technically bakes in the oven, does that count? There’s a bread recipe on the smitten kitchen blog that I’ve been wanting to try forever but haven’t gotten around to.

How do you leave a relationship when you live with someone and still love them?

Absofuckinlutely.

I bet 45 is heading for a full on medical crisis of some sort. His eating habits (if reports are to be believed) combined with his insufficient understanding of the way his new job works is building into a  marvelously perfect storm of clogged artery/blood clot/aneurysm/mental breakdown combo. I do not wish this upon…

If you don’t have time to read it (which I feel is worth doing) then absolutely watch the version with Megan Follows and Colleen Dewhurst. It is truly wonderful and makes for great rainy/snowy/sick day/any day viewing.

There’s no need for name calling. Familiarize yourself with commas.

They had better fucking refer the wazoo out of this clip.

The book is amazing so there’s a lot of potential here. Keeping my fingers crossed.

It is a time of extreme uncertainty. However, knowing that Prince Charles (being aware that at any moment the plans for an interstellar highway may move forward, ensuring the imminent destruction of our planet) travels with a towel is at the same time highly amusing and extremely comforting.

Let us know if there’s anything we can do, any way that we can be of help.
