I know, right? That said, if you can get to the UK or find stores that sell UK candies, they have dark chocolate bounty bars. So delicious!

I love doing this too.

When he mentioned “a book”, I assumed it would have been an equivalent to “The Art of the Deal”.

That’s because theatrical makeup isn’t dainty and we all know female gymnasts are supposed to be little pixies.

Well this just makes me feel even better about birth at 41 weeks 3 days.  Here’s hoping #2 is speedier. 

The Amazon box seems to vary widely. I got two newborn diapers, a mini Avent bottle and a random collection of single-use samples (imagine the little hand cream/foundation samples you sometimes get with magazines). Also a few coupons. Some people I know got the same and some people got something closer to the box…

Alton Brown is magic and has a dozen helpers to make his magic look totally normal. I put marshmallows in the category of things I’d like to try making once. Just to see if I could do it and then never do it again. 

It exists here too. It isn’t always easy to find and it is usually their more boring flavors. Other companies have ice cream bars and B&J has individual “slices” but either of those options is at least two actual servings. 

This is such helpful information. I eventually threw away half a point of freezer-burned (in my freezer) halo top because the texture was too awful to bother. I was also pretty let down that they couldn’t get chocolate ice cream to taste half-way good. 

I got on the scale at the gym and was astounded that I was 7 pounds under my pre-baby weight. Part of the surprise was that I still had a flabby, floppy tummy. 

I was just about to post this! It definitely helps.

No. The ad noted survivors of domestic abuse, sexual assault, or rape. She wasn’t a victim of DV. Above that she mentioned not wanting her story to become public, so I’m guessing she falls into one of the other categories and she wanted to clarify it wasn’t DV.

I trust you to use your powers for good. Go forth and enjoy!

I’d like to think that if I had the kind of money where I could spend half a million on a bottle of wine, especially one that won’t get drunk, I’d still spend my money on other things. 

Uggggggh. I hate that you’re right about that.

You know every movie they’d watch would be The Crown, royalty documentaries, and Hallmark royalty romances. 

Moaning and gnashing their teeth about how they had to find out about the pregnancy via press release. As if they could be trusted to keep the smallest of secrets if spilling got them a moment’s publicity.

I was kinda hoping they’d be the couple that just says, “Eh, the whole kids thing isn’t for us.” Not because I think they shouldn’t have kids but because having a high profile couple who chooses not to have kids would be great. Especially because there wouldn’t be the snarky comments of “well, she’s a career woman who…

With the exception of one or two weirdos, I’ll be your bachelorette guests will be just as happy to not have penises involved at all. I feel like much of the time that gets done because people feel it is expected. My bachelorette party was hanging out at my friend’s eating desserts, drinking, and occasionally playing…

Their food may not have been super authentic but damn I wouldn’t mind a stack of tortillas hot off their machine right now. I loved that you could stand there and watch the whole process.
