Yep. Picked that up when I lived in Boston.

My mom makes the same - also upper-Midwestern Irish Catholic family.

I’m a vegetarian and honestly, good. You’d think it would be obvious, and sometimes it is, but I have been in grocery stores where the faux meat is next to or on shelves above/below actual meat products (like sausage, frozen pre-shredded chicken, etc.) and sometimes I swear I stand there for minutes trying to read the…

Ah!!! She looks just like my mom at that age, who is also from rural Minnesota. I did a double-take. Actually, knowing my mom’s family and her 85-first cousins, could definitely be a relative.

Love the skirt. I don’t really understand the asymmetrical top, especially with the flesh-toned opposite shoulder. I feel like two long sleeves would have been sleeker and help with sweat absorption/compression but whatevs. Serena can literally rock anything and I’m hoping to see her play in the semi-finals next week!

She’s just debuting the new Forest Service outfits. We all know they wear $4,000 brocade skirts and $700 high heels because that is appropriate foresting gear.

Like Natalie Imbruglia before me, I’m torn.

Listen, I may or may not have dropped a weight on my toenail and it turned purple and eventually fell off. In the interim between the purple/black and the falling off, I had my annual gynecologist appointment and I swear, my doctor came into the room, I was up on the stirrups and she’s like “oh my gosh, is your toe…

No one knows.....

Yeah, if it’s not simultaneously being streamed on the same day, forget it. I cannot wait and I have other ways of accessing the can’t miss content.

This outcome is so, so sad. I was at the Iowa State Fair last week, and there were posters up all over the fairgrounds seeking information about Mollie. I can’t imagine the pain and terror she felt as she was out for her daily jog and was accosted and murdered (on the street?) in her small hometown by literally a…

I like Land O’Lakes. They sponsor agricultural capacity building in developing countries as a priority, are member owned, the current Mia figure on the box was actually designed by a Minnesotan Ojibwe artist in the 1950s, and we can use more support of women farmers who are only 14% of owner/operators in the U.S. and…

Yeah, the movie did seem quite different from the book. Same characters (sort of) but a different story. Still loved it, but Jon M. Chu said the sequel would definitely focus on Astrid and Charlie (Harry Shum from Glee!?!?) and Kitty Pong and Bernard (ADORE Jimmy O. Yang). I’m excited! But we probably won’t get it for…

Will they make it?

It’s pinterest forest wonder done right. And without using the down payment on your parents’ house to do it

It’s pretty though! Apparently she had to have it close to her father’s California home because he had a lung transplant and can’t fly. So they chose the forest. She’s got the $$$ at least to afford it.

Yay! I love Barnum’s animal crackers. Still basically my favorite thing from my childhood.

Excuse me, Donald Trump did obviously NOT spend a week tweeting racist and vile nonsense about a former staff member all last week. No comment. Thank you.

Chuck Todd’s eyeroll is all of us and that’s....................so so sad.

Hmm... I’ve been blond-ish through at-home treatments for about 10 years now. I do contemplate dying back to my original brown, but the color is blah, and I have gray hairs from stress now, so I would have to spend lots of money to maintain darker hair. I’m conflicted.
