@KLondike5: You just made the last 3 years of my resume make sense. God bless you.

I agree with the kids. Kate pulled out all the stops during hand jive night.

@NefariousCAT: They are retooling Betty Crocker's cookbook, not Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Perhaps Aspics aren't featured so prominently?

@sourkeys: Tooooooe-Piiiiiiick.

@RousseMacabre: Ha ha ha, my spouse got one in college. They were giving away free pizzas for applying.

@I Call LOGIC FAIL!: No clue what happened... but damn... I'm glad it happened.

@Anna: I thought it was a blanket.

The trick to painting your non-dominant hand? Don't try to make it perfect as you go. Perfectionism while painting your nails leads to smudges, smears and frustration.

@RiotGrrrl: My girl loves cheez-its. And popcorn. Carbs+fat+salt=bliss for us both.

@Penny: This makes me feel so much better about discovering a peed on bed yesterday. Thank you. :-) He is so cute... and so evil.

@Pandorasvoicebox: Ooh yes! A gift card to lululemon would be great.

@Penny_Esq: What's your price range? Pearl earrings or some other business friendly jewelry seem like a good bet.

@EdnasEdibles: I think I might have been that little girl... #kidsdesignerclothes

@unalteredone: try insolia inserts. they are magic. #highheels

@FroderickFronkensteen: you mean...

@Mealine95: Wait, she marries the prince? UUGH... you ruined the ending for me. Disney plots always keep me on tenterhooks. :-)

@justcallmeangel: I actually heard it like "popular," which immediately made me start working on a parody. "Twatular. I know about Twatu-u-lar..."

I've gone back and forth on this subject too many times to count. I think that "positive thinking" as shilled by The Secret and Oprah can be, and is abused frequently. All too often it is just a code for denial.

@Beets.Go.On is the Fat Yogini: @shouldbestudying - med school edition: @ablative: @wtfox?!: @Helen Valentine: Thanks everyone! Discouragement was starting to creep in, but you've given me a boost. Indiana University and Notre Dame are both added to the list.

@TheFormerJuneBronson: Happy Birthday!
