Long Way Round is my unintentional life theme song, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Although some days I do need to be more kick ass, Not Ready To Make Nice style.

I’m also quite partial to “Muffin Top”. I sing it pretty regularly to the great confusion of my colleagues who “don’t watch TV”.

Either Tammy would be a great choice!

I’m back in a town with a starbucks and I will be doing this tomorrow morning! I love me some soy chai (no water) lattes. I was introduced to them by a Jewish friend who described them as “tasting like Christmas”, which seemed like a solid endorsement.

The first thing I do when I start a new job is to make sure no one has a nut allergy as I enjoy eating them, but I’ll be damned if I make someone suffer for my love of nuts.

Three of them, and one on the way. The eldest is a girl (age 5) and then two boys (3 & 2) and the one due in July is a girl.

Well if it gave the world the writing of Alice Munro, then I say we keep it ... but as a I kid (8ish) I wrote a new ending to Cinderella because I didn’t like how the story ended, and I wrote another book about how her life as a princess kid of sucked. I don’t remember how it ended, I have to go home this week so I…

Dosing is far more complex than people want to admit, most stuff changes by weight, and the real issue is the toxicity issue and where the line is. I know with Tylenol the line between a safe dose and liver damage is really, really small, but I don’t know what it is for naproxen.

Or the horrible people who hated the idea of Donald Glover as Spiderman. How awesome would he have been.

I was trying to pin down the actress before I noticed the headline, but yes the Jessica Lange is strong with her, what a lucky lady!

I was trying to identify the actress, and thinking whoever it was she looked great, when I realized who she is.

I think Flickr can be set to private, and it uses Aviary for editing, which is halfway decent.

I will always respect my father for being so direct with her and I intend to do the same when comes to my turn to do right by my parents. I’m 30, they are 60/63 and in extremely good health but we are already starting to talk about end of life issues. Right now the main concern would be fatal accident and that is hard…

Totally! Spending most of my childhood summers in Ontario, I have an affinity for cool water coming off granite, having warm, limestone water in Texas always made me want to gag. Also, if your bottle is sitting around in 100+ degree heat all morning and its your only cool down source because you've been hiking through…

Agreed, means can make all the difference in end of life care.

Ugh, that so sucks about your uncle. Alzheimers is super sad and upsetting for the people who surround the one stricken by the ailment. I hope your Aunt had some good support during that time, because that must be so challenging and upsetting to see the person you love think that you are a stranger and threaten you…

I didn’t go to my prom, there were a few reasons why, but now more than 10 years later, I don’t regret not going, or have some sad wish I had.

Have fun and good luck in your race.

Ugh, people who take advantage of those with brain issues (tumors, dementia, Alzheimer’s) are the worst.

Thank you Madeline, I’m now going to spend the rest of my day crafting a perfect late 90s playlist around Bittersweet Symphony. Who cares that I have real work to do, I can do that on Sunday (yay self employment)!
