Last year I went as Zeus.

aww what a sweetheart!

Dr. Ruth was giving an informal talk at my school this week but I didn't find out til the day of and I already had plans that I couldn't break. It was billed as Desserts with Dr. Ruth. Dessert AND Dr. Ruth!!! Like, two of my favorite things together, in one room. I was so bummed that I had to miss it.

Take a lesson from Harry.

When I was 5 yrs old my mom was diagnosed with late-stage cancer and faced a very difficult course of treatment. With 7 kids at home, my dad hired a woman to help out a few days a week with housekeeping. My mom made a full recovery, but by that point Betty was part of the family. She was (still is) a devout Catholic,…

Yes! Most of my childhood memories involve me trying to get my mom's attention during her marathon phone conversations. Swatting me away and occasionally putting her hand over the mouthpiece to yell something at me.

Ahhahaaaaaha....I wish. I am child-free by choice, in my mid-30s, possessing a professional degree, and just had to apply for food stamps and medicaid. I'm drowning in debt (credit card and school loans). It's not all malbec and Mad Men, believe me. (But I thank Jebus every day that the only other mouth I have to feed…

I can't believe I'm the first to post this.

Ugh! Thank you! That position just feels like cervical target practice.

I agree, there are certain positions that really aggravate the cervix-punching, and other times when he goes deep but it feels great. And he or I can rotate just a few degrees to the left or right and it creates a whole new sensation. Ahh, the joys and mysteries of sex.

UGH, I just used the term "mani/pedi." #sorryfeminists
