My father actually would do a version of this, only on Easter. My mother would take me and my sister to church, and he would have demolished most of the chocolate and jelly beans in our Easter baskets by the time we got back. He would eat the prized Halloween candies within a day or two as well, mainly Snickers and…

HELL YES JOURNEY WEEK! I love me some Journey. Completely unironically!

Olivia will fix all of this confusion.

I don't think I realized Nicole Kidman was that young when she married Tom Cruise. It's funny, when I was younger, I think I just assigned everyone who wasn't a kid or teenager an arbitrary age of either "30," "50," or "grandparent."

I dunno. While I always enjoy some good 0ld-fashioned public shaming, I must say that I prefer my cheating-related vengeance to be directed at both parties (if both are culpable, do your research) and in much more sly ways, so that it appears almost karmic.

I am not proud of how long I spent reading some of those stories. (But, wow. What a rabbit hole.)

She hasn't been on OITNB thus far, so I'm guessing she must be on the upcoming second season. Exciting!

I end up doing the same exact thing when attempting duckface. Either that or full on frowning. I fail at duckface.

The "spice" in "pumpkin spice" was abbreviated in an unfortunate manner. It took me a minute to spot it.

People would (rightly) be calling Trump a whackadoodle even if the interwebs weren't around. So I think it doesn't really count. :)

My Jack Russell loves apples, but I think it's more about consistency than taste. It's one of the few things she eats with her mouth wide open so she can hear herself chomp on them. I delight in giving her tiny pieces just so she can chew over and over.

My little sister used to make us watch that Kirstie Alley "It Takes Two" movie constantly. And since my sister has been in the hospital this week, I read that quote, saw that picture, and started crying like a baby. What an odd but nice trigger.

My dog actually has picked up on the cadence and sounds of us saying something so much and can now mimic it in response to proper stimuli- but not "I love you." Instead, when you ask her a question, she picks up on the question intonation, and then occasionally she imitates us saying "I don't know." It's much less…

On a slightly unrelated note, I managed to totally repress her last few scenes in AHS until just now. Whoa.

Ha! Manual labor would be a welcome outlet for my frustrations, pain or no. Rather, I think it was her passive aggressive way of confronting a totally separate issue. Oh, lady games.

Spiffy, thanks! I've been in 2 weddings this past year, and have a third next June for which I was already strongly pressured into purchasing my bridesmaid dress. Today that bride asked me if my deteriorating hip joint (which granted, needs replacing, but not pronto or anything) presented an issue with me serving…

Please be my BFF?

This man's yelling made me cry like a little girl.

Macklemore seems strangely relatable. But perhaps it's because I dig all things Orangina and am an antique junkie. Please go to the flea market with me, Macklemore?

I should like to be rich and whimsical so I can fly to Paris to get some and then come straight back.
