Jesus. In my entire childhood (elementary through high school), I swear to God no one EVER had their parent come eat lunch with them. Or their Grandparent for that matter. It just... wasn’t something that was done?? I mean maybe if we were having a class party and parents / grandparents were specifically invited but…

My husband used to eat Soy Nut butter (he’s majorly allergic to peanuts / tree nuts) and I thought it was gross. He switched to WowButter and it’s actually pretty damn close to peanut butter. 

Was just in Disneyland in October and my husband and I rode the Pinocchio ride and it brought up all the old, scary memories of that movie. A live-action could be even more terrifying.

With my cousin, as far as I knew he wasn’t an addict. Him and a friend were dabbling in shit, mixing it with alcohol. I believe the official drugs were some kind of antidepressants, mephedrone maybe too among other things, etc. The friend died too, same night. It was horrific.

This is awful. Also - in their letter, they state they presented her medical situation on a TUESDAY October 20th. October 20th was a Saturday - that was the day I got married. So that’s weird.

My cousin died of a drug overdose and I spent a lot of time being really angry at him, then feeling guilty for being angry, and then being terribly, terribly sad. 

I have complicated feelings about DB. I got married in October so thankfully I’m missing all this bankrupt nonsense - but David’s is one of the most popular options for brides in my area. I got our bridesmaid dresses there and they were reasonable and fit everyone well. My bridal party was scattered all over the…

williams sonoma or NOTHING. yo when’s that coming out though, seriously?

Ugh I remember going with my BFF at the time, probably in 6th grade, to hunt around in A&F Juniors or whatever it was called. I was afraid to go to Hollister but ended up in there a few times. I think I bought one shirt from the sale section and ADORED IT when it actually fit me. Otherwise, normal A&F was out of my…

Jumping in here to add that I use a free app called Period Tracker. I think they have a Deluxe version but I don’t mess with that. I’m not yet in the position where I’ll be tracking to have a baby - but I really do like knowing when my period’s supposed to show. Despite being on hormonal BC and having it pretty down…

For realz. Thank god for birth control. I don’t know how I left myself to put up with it for so long, thinking it was totes normal - all the messy periods, the periods that started unexpectedly, the heavy periods, the awful cramps, the stains on clothes, the awkward shuffle down my high school hallway with a friend’s…

I just made a bunch of BBQ pulled chicken last night in my Instant Pot. After it pressurized, it was all done in 10 minutes. Freaking miracle worker right there. I use mine at least once a week now. We’ve done soup in it, done some pulled chicken obviously, I also want to try mac and cheese soon.

It was literally Halloween night. Like this just happened last week. I wrote them on Twitter about it but got no response.

I feel vindicated about the SF airport being in the bottom. We had a long stay there recently, and I’d never been there before. I anticipated it being a decent stay because... it’s San Francisco and I had it in my head that being so close to the tech capital of the America, maybe the airport would be cool. Wrong. Not…

The bad part about peanuts on planes, at least in my husband’s case, is that you’re in this tiny contained plane with air just endlessly circulating. So all that peanut dust starts circulating around the air when everyone opens their snacks at once - making it harder for some people to breathe due to allergies. Also…

This is interesting. We just flew Delta for the last leg of our honeymoon and my nut-allergic husband had a pretty bad time on the flight. They’d let us select “Nut Allergy” when we made the flight reservations, and then even called him to the gate before boarding to make sure they knew of his allergy. Then a good 35…

To the people who escaped Vegas just to live through this hellscape all over again - this is just wildly unacceptable. I realize that America, for some reason, thinks that Newtown wasn’t bad enough, that Aurora wasn’t bad enough, that fucking Pittsburgh wasn’t bad enough. So I’m always left asking - when IS enough? 13…

I decided on a whim to follow him on Twitter and I really do regret it, because he tweets the way I used to endlessly blog about things on LiveJournal when I was an idiot in college and thought I was so deep.

I was once convinced in my mid-20s that I had some kind of sinister cancer growing in my abdominal area due to a bunch of mysterious and alarming symptoms that lasted for like... years. Same with this mysterious chest pain no one ever figured out. I’m pretty sure it was ALL due to anxiety. I had such intense health…

Living in southwestern Pennsylvania, our tamale options are fairly limited. But I do love the TJ’s sweet corn tamales. God damn they’re good, esp. with some tabasco added. My husband is obsessed with tamales lately and is trying all the flavors.
