British events always make me feel so

I kept turning to my husband saying “Did a white guy write this? Am I watching a very special ABC television event ABOUT RACE written directed and produced by a bunch of Hollywood white guys? That must be what’s happening, right?”

Oh god, I also did this while watching Crash. But even laughter didn’t make that movie bearable. I wanted to stab my eyes out. Talk about thinking you’re making something important while actually being THE WORST.

My office has been working with the Audubon Society a bit on an upcoming lawsuit to protect native bird populations. They’re taking on a huge fight, including several government agencies, and they are being BAMFs about it. Hardly a sit-back and feel-good conservation group.

I can only conclude that the employees of the Audubon Society sit around amping themselves up with raptor-screech sound effects.

Damn Kelly, you left out the sickest burn:

Yeah, I’ve thought about this as well, but the logistics of raising a kids on one’s own freaks me out far more than not having a kid (at least, as of this moment in my life it does). Just the whole logistics and financials (ah!)... Awesome that your sis is doing this, though, and I hope she gets pregnant on the first…

Thanks! I know it’s slightly irrational (or, rather, just plain irrational) but when you’re surrounded by marrieds with kids and you, yourself, had wanted that but begin realizing you A) may not get it and B) not sure if it’s 100% what you really wanted, it’s hard to let things go. And that’s what I’m working through…

On the babysitter thing, is it no longer okay to just approach the parents of a local teen and ask them if their teen would like money and pizza? I babysat a lot when I was in middle and high school and it was pretty much a case of “Hey you, next door neighbor who is a teenage girl. Would you exchange your time for…

Doll. It's never selfish to do what's right for YOU. It's what is right for you. It's selfish to bring a child into the world if you're not totally sure you should. XO

I’m with you. I’ve been recently sorting out feelings that, as I’m getting older and still am single, the odds of having a kid keep dwindling and dwindling. I used to think that if I reached 40 (2 years away now) I would look into adopting from foster care or something, regardless of whether I was in a relationship or…

God, this rolls up all of my fears of being a parent into one nice package.

But I'm glad Eryn missed the point or I wouldn't have seen the picture you posted which amused me.

$30K, Miami, FL, January 2014; included rental of facility, food (6 passed hors d'oeuvres, plated salad, 2 kinds of paella (buffet style), a small wedding cake (because you can't have a wedding without one apparently) & tons of pies, all shapes & sizes (TEAM PIE- where you at?!), DJ who played music for the ceremony,…

I don't know, I'm not uber clothing-conscious, but if I looked down and saw I was wearing a sweatshirt with a Disney character on it, stone washed jeans and white athletic shoes, I just might have a little crisis.

It turned me off this whole article when I read that actually. But I might just be having a bad day.

I was cracking up at the absurdity of these until I got to Big Museum Earrings lady. Then shit got suddenly very, very real.
