You and me both. C-sections are not too friendly on the stomach muscles. Then again, neither is a 10 lb baby.

I watched it every single week. I loved that show.

I posted above that I worked a wedding a few years ago where the bride and the bridesmaids all wore flats. The bridemaids attached clip on earrings on their flats and the bride attached two similar looking brooches that her grandmother left her to her flats. They were absolutely beautiful.

A formal dress code doesn’t necessarily include high heels. There are absolutely gorgeous flats that would be more than appropriate for a formal event. I worked a wedding a couple of years ago where the bride and all the bridesmaids wore flats. They all attached old clip on earrings to their flats while the bride…

Hell, I’m 5’2” and I bet if I put on a pair of 4 inches heels I’d be taller than Cruise. It wouldn’t take much, would it?

I met Bill Clinton in 1992-great guy. You really get sucked in and even people who didn’t agree with him found themselves nodding in agreement after a minute or two of breathing the same air.

I’ve always liked Natalie Portman. My daughter and I are planning on watching the shit out of her RBG biopic. No way that movie isn’t epic, at least in this household of RGB fans.

You and me both. I’m a back of the house manager in the restaurant industry and there are days where I think I should have just done anything-I mean anything-else with my life. After an especially insane day of dealing with a-hole customers (Mother’s Day, for example) I think that becoming a facialist sounds really…

The best way to find them is to just walk past most of the quickie nail salons, especially those that offer cheap manis and pedis, and find a locally owned place. It doesn’t have to be an upscale day spa either-plenty of women rent little shops and have one or two people who do nothing but hair/color and then rent…

And to the MRAs: there is nothing wrong with paid paternity leave. The reason for the focus for the paid maternity leave is 1) Mom pushed/had baby cut out and 2) Mom is usually the primary caregiver.

Nail techs in reputable salons have also been to school. Some have as little as a three month certificate while others studied it as part of a cosmetology course. They can make decent money if they work at a decent place. (The low end nail places around here charge around $30 for a mani w/o acrylics; the decent places…

I have a friend who is a nail tech. She chose the field and takes pride in her work. She’s always been artistic and it shows in her nail designs. She also makes a decent living at it, enough to raise a son and daughter on her own without assistance. A few years ago she purchased a new mobile home, paid it off and has…

She spends so much time with my daughter. She really does love her and that’s all the family my child has-my parents and a very distant uncle, since her father’s side has never had anything to do with her. (Just the older half sister and that’s recent-the rest have chosen to never even see her.) She takes her out all…

I don’t know how to react to my mother sometimes. I was in a relationship for two years with a man. He promised to marry me. Upon finding out that I was pregnant he told me that he’d been married the entire time and was leaving me to go back to his wife on the east coast. What does my mom have to do with this? She…

I’ve always been a comic fan. Black Widow is ok, though I always preferred Scarlet Witch and loved Ms. Marvel. I’m holding out hope that the Captain Marvel movie will be fantastic. Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel will be so good and supposedly Marvel is looking for a female director to make it. (Angelina Jolie is…

No citation but I remember reading in a parenting book that it was a bad idea to get young children’s names printed on their clothes or book bags. The idea was that a stranger would easily be able to chat up the child, calling them by name in a familiar way. When I worked for a sheriff’s department we used to tell…

I’ll let her know. She’d love to hear it.

I don’t believe the Dave Matthews one either, probably because I really did hook up with him back in the early 90’s before they made it big. Nothing great but nothing awful and I’d remember if there was scat talk.

My fifteen year old daughter regularly buys her clothes from thrift stores, completely refashions them into something that fits like a glove and looks fantastic on her and then trades them off with a few friends. She’s 5’9” and a size 12-really broad shoulders, wears a “D” cup, small waist but really muscular thighs.…
