It’s crap like this that makes one pray that a Hell does exist.

My week was amazing!

I haven’t been to Saturday social in a while, but I wanted to come in to say, I have a well paying contract job, that will last at least seven months and has a very good chance of going to full time. And i like it and te people Iwork with. I came in to fill in for maternity leave, and with some new initiatives it…

This job and the accompanying move and financial stability would change >90% of my life for the better. I’m going to do everything in my power to get it.

My Andy Warhol inspired holiday nails.

So it happened! After 28 months, three miscarriages in the first year, and then “unexplained infertility” over 12 cycles with a Reproductive Endocrinologist I FINALLY got pregnant again. 6 eggs and an IUI and it took. It’s super early, I don’t even go in for my betas until Tuesday but the test is unmistakably pregnant…

I visited a print shop today to buy some cards. They had a lovely letterpress version of this quote, a solid contender whenever you run into an insistent constitutional originalist:

I been in an unexpectedly fun and meaningful relationship for the last few months and it’s going to end soon because he’s moving away. I knew this from the start and it’s ultimately a good thing but I’m feeling bummed about it now. I met him just a few months after my marriage ended and I really didn’t expect to be…

First of all, let me say that I now look forward to Emily’s SNS intro, and this week didn’t disappoint.

My dad got a new dog after having to put his companion down. (Old Jack Russel lost a fight with a raccoon.) This is Mookie! His ears are sooooooo soft.

We are staring down the barrel of a 9-inch “snow and ice event” tonight through tomorrow. So at this moment, I am sous vide-ing two boneless ribeyes; Ms Street is roasting Yukon Golds and saute-ing fresh spinach; and I’m finding that vodka in orange-flavored seltzer is just my cup of tea. 

Preview screening of “Into the Spider-Verse” today. You guys, it’s REALLY good.

Such an early SNS! Craft Thread!

Hey all! I'm at a hotel in town for The Bartender's birthday, and we're gonna hang and drink and eat room service! Last weekend I judged a college mock trial tournament in NYC, exhausting yet so fun and fabulous (mock geek 4 lyfe). And I saw Kip Moore, Radney Atkins, and the adorbs Aussie who is married to Kelsea…

Today I was in a decent mood and Facebook reminded me that today would’ve been my brother's 44th borthday. He died 1.5 years ago.  Thanks FB.  

Thanks for responding to my demands! I love this baby, so glad to see her getting so big and looking SO SMART in her glasses. Adorable! Good for you making the best decision for yourself and your baby. You will do great!

I volunteer to check homeless hostels are being run correctly and that the residents are happy and comfortable. This week I visited one and I was so thankful for the homeless hostel that I was in, the room I had was a palace compared to the bleak room i saw. It wasn't the hostel that I visited this week fault, there's…

My area was pinpointed for a Major Winter Storm since about this time last week.

Drink a glass or two of water before each meal, and clean your plate in the following manner: protein, veggies, carbs, other. A small recent study published by the American Diabetes Association found that people who ate their protein first experienced less hunger, especially cravings, more stable blood glucose and…

I went to the open house last week, all prepared to interview, and it turns out that the Akron pharmacy managers did not get the memo that the open house was for multiple positions throughout the Cleveland Clinic health system.(About half of the advertised positions on the open house invitation don’t even exist in…
