Can we have an Embarrassing Christmas Story thread? I broke both arms doing sport 2 days ago and have basically fucked our Christmas- had to uninvite our guests because my husband is having to do literally everything for me. Also managed to ruin a new years eve visit by the in-laws 9 years ago with a public fainting…

As a yoga person who generally finds pilates very boring, I love how people seem to prefer one or the other. It’s so interesting!

I spent Christmas alone the year my ex left me. It was actually kind of peaceful. No major meal. Just me and my kitty. Went out to a movie.

Guys! I had a baby last week! 22 hours of labor, 3 hours of pushing and 1 csection later the little dude has arrived. And I basically haven’t slept since my water broke last week on Thursday evening ( technically Friday at 1 am). He’s great, very gassy and prone to waking up and only wanting to sleep while sitting on…

My sister saved my house, my car, and my sanity. We all have the flu, but my husband was the last to get it and is in the absolute thick of it today and was totally out of commission. 

Hi Jezzies! I’ve been meaning to post on SNS for weeks, but somehow I never remembered until Sunday morning. I’m back now, still a high school girl in the greys ranting into the void, but I am so, so much happier than I was this time a year ago.

Other than a few blips here and there, my nasty neighbor, Bible Betty has been relatively quiet (and relatively law-abiding since she has a no trespass agreement from her last real big blow out). She decided that the day that I am super duper sick is a GREAT day to pull out the box of shit and have at it. She and 2…

Hey guys! Here’s your scheduled Catalina update: she’s doing great, actually! In the past few weeks she’s come down to 0,5 liters of oxygen (22% as opposed to the 21% we all breathe) and doing great on it even when sleeping. I think she may be off supplemental oxygen within 2 months, which YAY, but it doesn’t mean…

No booze for me on account of baby. I just bought my husband a fancy bottle of scotch. Hoping there’s some left after I pop this kid out.

Merry Christmas! Super quiet around here with just me, hubby, and kids. But I kind of like the no pressure atmosphere of Christmas with zero family.

If you are a Star Wars fan, you could do what we do. Sithmas! We dress Darth Vader up in lights and sit him on a counter. We were both raised with Christmas by nonreligious people and trees are a PITA. I can’t with the Christian symbolism (however misguided it may be) but I love me some Star Wars. I believe you can…

A frighteningly massive dildo positioned upright in the middle of the floor when he comes out of the bathroom. Then pretend it isn’t there, like you can’t even see it.

A quick shout out to anyone going through this holiday season single, divorced, widowed, apart from their children, childless not by choice, estranged from their family, or in any other less than desirable situation. You’re not alone. And, if you know someone like this, please remember: it’s hard to be bombarded with…

Happy holiday everyone that reads this.

I spent last evening baking banana bread and lemon drizzle cakes and today making lasagna soup, which is apparently a thing, for my dinner on Christmas day. I’m getting over an upper respiratory infection that had me down for almost a week. This was the third time I was ill in three months. I’m usually totally healthy…

Hi fellow Jezzies,

Awww! A couple years ago we convinced my mom that my little brother (a Marine) wasn’t going to be able to home for Christmas and we had him jump out of a giant present to surprise her. He was just on base in Cali so not as crazy but still wonderful to do. Especially as this year he’s really too far to do it (deployed…

Does anyone else miss Tweet Beat and Midweek Madness?

Shout out to FourFour, been loving Rich and slut machine since 2007. I also believe I was commenting on Jez in 2007. I had to get approved by the comments moderator Hortense. Does anyone else remember this or is it the fever dream of an elderly person?

A relative of mine had identical twins after something like 10 years of fertility treatments. If I remember correctly, she was on the final round of IVF that they could afford and got pregnant. The chances were incredibly small that it would work but the kids are two now and doing great.
