This week is my better half’s birthday, and to help her celebrate the big 3-0, I’ve ordered a chocolate macaron cake for her. So I am very, very, very much looking forward to that macaron cake, since I didn’t get to enjoy my birthday cake last month. And I get to surprise her with tickets for Book of Mormon as her…

I feel like there’s been some dark shit going on lately, so to combat that I’ve decided to create a “what’s making me happy this week” thread.

We have a new puppy! I only had to do an 8 hour round trip in the car with my kids and my wee dog to pick her up. And we really didn’t know for sure that she’d be there (the SPCAs in this area are notoriously bad at updating their sites). But we got there before opening and we fell in love and took her home.

BEAUTY THREAD!

Same. And I’ve read the books, so I know what is supposed to happen. (But they have really strayed far from the trilogy. It’s anything goes at this point.) But I can’t stop watching it. It’s not even a hatewatch thing because I don’t hate it. I just think it’s bad. But I like the actors and I want to see what stupid…

The Strain is so bad. So, so, so bad. Every character on that show is hopelessly dumb. I don’t mean “hahaha, what a dumb character.” I mean, “How do you clothe yourself? I would have thought buttons would have been above your IQ level” dumb.

I love Atlanta because it’s earnestly (no pun intended) black. It doesn’t highlight the positive qualities of black culture and suppress the negative stereotypes. It doesn’t do the opposite either. The show just presents blackness matter-of-factly, whether the viewer is able to keep up with the mumbled slang of a…

UM EXCUSE ME THE RUGRATS DID IN FACT GET OLDER

and calling a kid a pedophile? come the fuck on this isn’t funny

Sorry, this teacher isn’t cool and this topic isn’t funny. I’ve taught college for 15 years, and I wouldn’t say this to 18 year olds, much less 10th graders. You’re in an immense position of power as a teacher. It’s really important not to mock your students. I had one teacher in HS who consistently made fun of…

So......I am really pulling for Rob and Chy. I dated someone who had clinical depression and went through the ups and downs just like Rob. It was incredibly tumultuous and we fought very often. Watching their show is like reliving that relationship. When things were good, they were fucking great but when they were…

Umm...I need you to bring me this baby and let me ruin him with fresh baked goodies and snuggles. He looks like a hybrid of my two when they were small.

I once told him, when he was too little to understand, that he’d never be able to have a “poker face” with eyes like those. But that’s good, I don’t want him to be a “poker face” kind of person.

My son has those same big, brown almond shaped eyes. I say this with heart-felt sympathy, because even now that he is ten, it’s still ridiculously hard to look into them and say, “No”.

I have no idea why this is sideways (I’m not exactly computer savvy) but here is our little guy!

My youngest child is now 14. 15 in February.

My babies are old.

Thank you so much! You saying don’t let him make you feel crazy is the perfect thing I needed to hear! It’s awful. I’m pissed, I’m hurt and I’m embarrassed. I know I didn’t do anything, he should be the one to feel shame or embarrassment but I am so embarrassed. I feel like a complete dumb ass. I NEVER saw this coming.

Weekly baby overshare! I can’t help it ;-; She’s too cute. Show me photos of more babies plz.
