I suppose if I had to talk and be "on" all day, I might not want to do it with randos in the evening. I work from home, so when I see any people I'm like "oh my god... people! talk to me! please please please!"

Completely off topic (we need an off-topic thread) curlies and naturalistas, the As I Am line is now available at Walgreens if (like me) you could justify the price or the shipping but not both.
I wore a very similar dress to that as a flower girl in my uncle's wedding when I was 8. Afterward, I wore it as after school lounge clothes until it stopped fitting. The bust was a bit roomy, and it made a perfect little hammock for my kitten, so I'd just spend all afternoon in a princess dress with a sleeping cat…
Oh, I know how to make the bed. I just can't figure out why I would actually do it unless there's company coming over.
is there no Sunday night open thread anymore?
In between handing in my thesis and my defence, I napped like I'd never napped before. It feels good not to have such a heavy cognitive burden weighing you down.
Why am I so tragically unhip? I've been living in NYC since freshman year of college, and while my social life has improved since graduating and moving to Brooklyn, I just don't know any place to go on a Saturday night. I also can't pull off the carefree black girl thing. The neurotic black girl is too strong in me.…
I'm deeply concerned about the government's inability to come to some agreement about funding DHS. My husband is a member of DHS, and he will likely be furloughed. We don't have a ton of money to live off of while those people fight and in-fight and bicker. I am worried we won't be able to pay our bills. While, yes, I…
Well..I have nothing so melodramatic-my friend invited me to a party-I had graduated from HS week earlier-this was his way of saying ":Good Bye and Good luck—as I was entering the US Naval Academy the following week..I noticed his girlfriend was absolutely Georgeous!! and tried (unsucessfully) to flirt with her...7…
Yes, but not all kids want their parent's new partner in their lives. I would love to say something like this at our wedding, but I really think they (all three teenagers) would be more resentful or disgusted if I did because they have a mom (who barely parents them) but who is their mom nonetheless. I would argue…
I'm so jealous of all these people who seem to have a 2-hour radius of where most people will be coming from. I currently live in Los Angeles and right now my absolute best friends are pretty much evenly split between San Francisco, D.C., and all over the Midwest. I miss my friends...
If you could make enough to support a Mr. Mom, that'd be fine, too, and deliciously transgressive relative to 1955.
Yeah, it is childish and immature. I can see if the bride is in her late teens/early twenties where the novelty is cute, but for many grown women who have been having sex for years, or have been in a long-term relationship, it is passe and dumb.
No. He just tossed it out there to make me angry.
My kids begged me to make donuts, and I did and then they did not like them. AUGHEhEhEHE. But they were fantastic. I made raised doughnuts and some were apple cinnamon with whisky and some were strawberry cream. I am going to try them again with homemade custard and chocolate glaze.
My experience is that the biggest relationship killer is uncertainty. If you have some deadline that you can count down to (like imagine01, upthread) or some specific event ("just till I complete my PhD") even a long separation is manageable. But if there is no end in sight, or only some ill-defined one ("once my…
That's actually pretty cute. My parents didn't encourage my creepyness, I was just born that way. They actually told me to tone down my vocab when I started school because they were afraid other kids wouldn't like me.
Yeah, I sometimes feel that the vast majority of jobs and college career advice out there is specifically geared only for people in and around major metro areas (and if we're really being honest major cities like NY, Chicago and LA where a lot of major companies are headquartered). There's a paucity of practical…
I had a friend who has been proposed to by every single boyfriend she's ever had. She's been married 3 times and is 35. She's attractive and interesting but not anymore than any of my other friends. I'm pretty convinced she has a personality disorder and the reason why so many dudes think she's the one is because she…
