I am still using the kitchenaid my mom got as a wedding gift. I'm 26. They are SO WORTH IT!! I'm looking into investing in a commercial-size one now.

I was just unexpectedly called in to interview for a one-time-only chance at an amazing management training program in my field that would take me from making $10 an hour to like $40K a year. So yeah, I'm going to interview. But the song and dance I had to go through to get off of work is always so awkward! I work…

Warm Bodies. Also I have hopes for the last Hunger Games movie and the TV equivalent of the 4th and 5th Game of Thrones books being better, cause if they're not, god help us.

I think the only midriff-baring clothing, besides bikinis, that doesn't look trashy as all heck on anyone of any age and any body type is a sari or similar item. I will be willing to accept pictures challenging this belief.

I'm on the East Coast (and we usually vacation in fall) so we compromise by renting a cabin in the woods (you can get them super cheap in the Adirondacks!) and spending as much time as possible frolicking outside. I used to live in upstate NY with a lot of land and my dad built a permanent tent down at the edge of…

This is my problem with wanting to go be a crazy wild woods-lady or, at least, take an extended camping trip. Hygiene is the one thing I won't compromise for nature time. I am a greaseball after 24 hrs.

I wish I had more than idly web-browsed wedding dresses before getting engaged. Cause if what you like is not in style when you start shopping and you have a deadline, and especially if you have a modest budget, it can make what should be exciting funtimes extremely not fun. Especially when it's been like 6 months…

On the last post I thought it was an amusing joke that was just on the writer's mind, but I definitely didn't enjoy it this time. I wonder what's up with that.

I just avoid the sun entirely if I can. I've only had sunburn once aside from a little bit of pink on my nose that goes away in a day (I am extremely pale but I had a hover-mom always there to slap more sunscreen on me when I was a kid) and that one time was horrible enough to set me right forever. I actually HAD…

I would have been very offended by that - but everyone knows I'm vehemently against having kids haha

Ahhhh I've been ogling that bed for forever, sooo expensive though! Anything that looks like trees, I want!

I expected that to look a lot more impressive. It better be comfortable!

My most pressing thought (because I have pregnancy-phobia to the extreme but I'm also weirdly fascinated to hear about it in a "god I hope that never happens to me" way) was the one who hadn't given birth yet having to watch the first one go through it... yikes!!

I should tell my husband he's actually a woman because we also fight over who needs to remove gross bugs. Although I like spiders so I rescue them.

I'm actually interested to hear how it was having both parties in the couple pregnant at the same time! That sounds like an untapped wealth of stories.

When I started dating Mr. Maneki (we were teenagers) I hadn't given a lot of thought to whether or not I wanted kids, and he thought he wanted a big family. When having kids became something we were actively preventing, I started actually thinking about what that would involve, and in a couple of years went from "not…

I had a friend give us novelty husband and wife voodoo dolls with sex acts and stereotypes printed on them and salt and pepper shakers that looked like cows humping. 6 months later he told us they were gag gifts and gave us some cool stuff for our cats. But I mean.. he spent money on those gag gifts! It was…

As someone who reacts similarly when forced to eat McDonalds, she phrased that in the most obnoxious way possible. Just say "nasty ass fast food gave me the runs" like a normal human.

I'm making a lasagna! ...for one.

kitty just LOVES THE GROUND *SO MUCH*
