Not "folksy" enough.

Man, I went to see the new Mission Impossible last night and decided that if they would just let Ethan have a haircut, he would totally be the sexiness. THEN I was a bit squicked out because...it's Tom Cruise. And then I see this picture and I was internally validated.

Mindy, you are a fantastic reason to not work on Sociology homework. Do you find that despite being totally humble about who you are, do you have people that are super intimidated by you? You seem to bring the confidence, which to some women I know can come across as scary...

And the late 40 to 50-something Kardashian sisters will all trash talk his granola girlfriend and her hi-tech dreadlocks. (Ya know, 20 years from now, you can integrate LED screens into your otherwise "natural" hair...)

I had to send this link to my mom. I'm sure she will be just as if not more excited than I will at this prospect. Woo! A whole family of Tolkien nerds.

But will it be an organically made polo? You know that the granolas of Missoula would be offended otherwise.

My mom only once out loud lamented that she would not get any grandchildren if neither my brother or I got married. I told her that the world was overpopulated anyway, why on earth would I have my own if there were so many ready to be adopted already? Yep. That turned out well. I also planned little to none of my…

I was adamant from the time that I was 14 that I was *not* going to get married. Ever. My older brother still hasn't, and he's in his almost mid-thirties. (His totally lol-worthy reason: "If we had kids, there would be a fifty percent chance that they would be gingers. I can't inflict that soullessness on the world.)…

What...? I don't even...

Become a sociologist! Then you'd have all the reason in the world to find out why these people do what they do under the pretense of research. If I had more patience or if I didn't have three daughters to support financially, I would do the same thing.

Ok, well, here is my fun Walmart tidbit of the day, and sort of a response to Madge, because her comment is too short to respond to.

Those have to be some of the only books I have read possibly 9+ times. They have a special spot in my heart. I used to bully a girl in middle school which is awful, but we let bygones be bygones in high school, and she was the one who introduced all of the books to me. Off to Amazon!

Those stripey pants are hilarious. Honestly though: does he happen to live with a vintage-loving woman, or are these seriously things he has hanging around in his closet?

I enjoyed the woman dressed up as Pee Wee Herman. That may have to be my costume next year.

I thought it was hilarious, "I threw this together in ten minutes"...so he has a flowery tank top and semi-matching fifties swim cap in his closet. Next time I need something random, I'll go borrow something from him.

Me too! I was born on November 14. Eck.

Unfortunately, my oldest was born on September 11 (Mind you, five years later), my middle was born on December 7 (Pearl Harbor Day), and my youngest was born on April 15 (tax day). The first two were scheduled as they were both about a week or more overdue.

We are doing nothing to assuage your fears. I had just been rear-ended by a semi and had pretty nasty whiplash, and I was also something like, 6 months pregnant with my third child, so a bit unwieldy. I slipped because I couldn't really move my head, and landed with my boobs on the side of the tub and gave myself…

Did you watch the original video? Is she for serious? The songify version is AMAZING though. I think she's the younger embodiment of the lady across the way from me.

Walmart only checks ID on non-receipt returns.
