Also: I love your name.

I knew a couple who eloped and simply called a few friends the same day to see if they wanted to join.

I wonder how the kid haters here ever got through their childhoods.

I never realized that having eggs on a counter could be such a problem.

If the candy doesn’t include the new coffee M&Ms, then not worth it.

I LOVE to read. I can read on a plane and on a train, but not in a car. Instant headache, if I try. Yet reading signs, license plates, etc. in a car — no problem. The brain is a mystery.

I was so firmly against buying an exclusive changing table. I use the top of a 3-drawer cabinet and a changing pad instead.

THIS. This is what I came here to say. Zankou’s chicken is fine, but the garlic sauce — I do not let a drop of that go to waste.

Screw the flat belly! Go you! Losing 76 pounds in 15 months is no small feat!! Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Flower arranging is great. My mom was a florist and I still suck at it! Sharpening knives, ehhh. Honestly, I really just want people to be nice, even if they’re at work. In return, we will be as pleasant as possible and try to keep our boys’ clamor down to a dull roar.

Hi Katie! I am in the Los Angeles area and my best prospect so far has been a fixer upper in a hot neighborhood where the homeowner just died, which is why it seems to still be an option. We have already qualified for a conventional loan, but now that we are looking at a fixer upper, what kind of options are now open…

I do this all the time — pick out two outfits for my 2-year-old at a time (husband dresses kids in the morning), ask about dinner for tomorrow, try to discuss weekend plans on Monday. But with three kids and SO MANY THINGS to do all the time, I’m always looking ahead at what needs to be done.

How is it not a decision based on taste when the other opinions that I believed backed up my original decision were expressed as an afterthought?

I get it. Kinja users love...like, LOVE, LOVE...their sushi. I will concede this apparent battle. I still like my fish cooked. I didn’t realize I would get piled on for not…

I see what you did there! 😀

But you should make your decision based on your culinary tastes, and not on false beliefs about the health and safety of sushi.

I love you too! I am married, though. 😉

Is any of this really a surprise? Although, I would beg to differ on the sushi. I am a fish lover from childhood, but I like it cooked.

Hahah! I always do this. It helps that I am the organizer in every circle of friends I have.
