::sigh:: I'm currently on a very strict budget until all my current debts are paid off (wrong time of year to really put my foot down, too!), and I'm seriously just...avoiding going into actual stores. And clicking on any of the company websites where I know I'll be tempted. I'm actually getting better with ignoring…

Thanks for the link! I'm going to order the smaller version of it ASAP.

The only way I save money is by having $1 automatically transferred to my savings account any time I use my debit card, so I end up with like $20-40 a month in there which is better than nothing!

I stay the fuck out of the bookstore.

Agreed on the final point. Ooooh, you made a(n unoriginal) cake that looks kind of like cell bars/old fashioned prison jumpers? and called it "Jailbird Cake"? That's just so obvious it's painful. No hate on Goop because I could care less, but this was just such a lame comeback. She might think of a more clever one in…

Right? Martha handled jail like the sophisticated boss that she is. I don't hold it against her at all and I kind of actually like her more because it.

Lentil salad with seared leeks, bacon, and boiled eggs on baby kale. Yuummm frenchy and healthy-ish, yet Mr. Parade still considers it "dinner". Victory!

Thick socks and warm shoes will help you stay comfortable. I'm from California also. Took a while to figure out that flip flops and little strappy shoes / thin socks don't cut it here in the winter.

Just FWIW this cold snap is really, REALLY unusual in the PNW, it rarely gets this cold and when it does it's usually in January

Being a long-time PNWer, cold does usually take a good deal longer to sink in. I would say January. One to two weeks of snow in January. November is supposed to be upper 30s-lower 50s and rainy and miserable, but this weather we're having is completely unfounded. Cold. Dry. Terribly sunny. Thanksgiving is supposed to…

Twenty minutes later, the koala was gone. Putin shrugged, then put his new pair of mittens in his back pocket before wiping a spot of red from the corner of his mouth.

I heard there was a lot of honking and fighting at the summit this year.

Yay! This'll be fun. Dance of happiness!
