I’ll welcome anything that gets me out of hate-reading Dear Prudence on Slate. 

I think when Kate said she already has too much money to put up with this shit, she meant it. She’s now doing commentary episodes for Bravo and is getting her own radio show. Give her a season to see if that pays the bills, and then we may see her again. If the ratings drop, and they agree to pay her more, she’ll be…

We got a Trader Joe’s just before Christmas, and it is about 20 minutes away. It is now the only place I will buy wine ($3.49 for a drinkable chardonnay and cab!), so I go every 2-3 weeks to stock up on wine and do supplemental grocery shopping. I’ll stroll through the frozen aisle and see what sounds good for backup…

Some of the biggest fights I had with my mother started with how dark my lipstick shade was. I still don’t know why she was so offended. The rest of me was Gap khakis and a 90s bob. It’s that voice I hear before I ask my own daughter if she needs mascara or a gloss. She’s fine.

I was closer to 30 when I started reading Jezebel. I keep getting older, but the site stays the same age. I’ve really felt it in the last year. There was even this glorious time that I was ungreyed.

This is the board book that I buy for every baby shower and would read to my kids’ kindergarten class. Missing from this list is “If you give a moose a muffin. 

He and Kelley had a fling before The Bachelor. She was an early favorite. She is also an attorney and carries herself as an adult. He sent her home in favor of keeping a drunken sorority house. He’d better have a damn good producer manipulation driven explanation for that decision in order for her to go back to him.…

Tom Cotton’s antagonism against the Chinese also directly harms the economic interest of the state he is supposed to represent. Arkansas is a top producer of rice and soy and depends on China to buy it. The republican governor reminds the state of this, but as long as Cotton has that (R) in front of its name, he will…

Asking for primary physical custody of your kids in initial filings does not mean you think the other parent is a bad parent, but it is a solid negotiation tactic to ask for the most and then walk it back.

I wish they would have course corrected with Kate still as the chief stew, but that season did her in. We’ll have another season of Hannah chain smoking and sprinkling a few glass stones on a table. We need a good season after Sailing Yacht. Everyone is coupled up, Georgia sings the same damn song every episode, they…

I read this last summer at 40, and it ravaged me emotionally. It struck a chord with me that I can’t quite pinpoint, but it’s one of those books that I will continue to think about for years. I don’t think I can watch the series adaptation. It was easy to transport back to the age reading the novel. I think watching…

The worst I saw was the anti-vax angle that there are disinfectants in the vaccinations. Unfollow.

I grew up in the south and this “yes, ma’am” shit needs to stop. 

I thought the difference between the episodes reflected the general tone of how the country was feeling (or at least how I was feeling). Two weeks ago it was this panic of going through the motions and trying to get through it and I don’t want to wear real pants. Then last week, it was an acceptance of this new normal…

Using this as my opportunity to share one of my favorite documentaries, especially if you are a Sondheim fan like me.

Hulu, if you have the Starz add on. $2.99 on Prime. My boyfriend still has u-verse, so I found it running on the Indie channel on May 4 at 2:52 am.

It’s been so long since I’ve bought hot dogs that I thought it was still a thing.

I’d certainly rather hear from her than Sean Penn.

Until she calls Katy Perry a “former” pop star. Good one, Joan.

Unfortunately, I have a solid white patch at the hair line that looks like a bald spot if I don’t get the angle exactly right.
