He has a standing Wednesday appointment for that already.

I don’t think we can ever really predict what it is that our children will hate us for. Your kid could totally love her name and decide to hate you for something completely unrelated. Don’t worry too much about it. :)

It was either Native American or Colonialist (most likely soldier.) Well, except for the Lady in White at Elbow Road. (Which I drove around several times at night in the hopes of catching a glimpse of her. Never did. But an old friend of mine did. He was driving Elbow Road late at night when a woman in white out of no…

That’s Virginia Beach for you. It’s like Portland or Austin but without the pretense. It isn’t weird to show off how cool and hip it is. It’s weird because, well, it’s naturally eccentric. It’s this combination of New Ager, Skater, Geeky, and Navy/Marine vibe that works. If you understand that then everything about…

My husband yelled out, “Kempsville!” His parents still live there.

Peppermint Beach Club, because I saw Bad Religion there and it was awesome. Otherwise I avoided VB like the plague and stuck with Norfolk (King’s Head! The 90s were glorious).
I’m from Poquoson, kinda, but spent 15 years all over Hampton Roads.

The final scene will be at the (abandoned) Abyss. It will be awful to see/remember all the seamen grinding on Juliet and Romeo.

PA class of 85. Yup, I’m an old. Super cool that someone at my fav blog went there too. I thought I was the only Liberal to ever go there. Go Cavs!

I went to Cox! And lived in Great Neck. Took a driving class and the SATs at Princess Anne.

Yesssss. I can’t wait for this. I usually don’t comment but I’m excited!!!! I’ve lived in this area basically my whole life and I love Pharrell :)

Not Great Neck, but also not too far away from it. And yes, you caught me. I was in the IB program. :)

Yas! VB born and raised! If your sisters went to Cox (any chance you guys lived in Great Neck???) and you went to PA, were you IB?

Juliet’s family is University of Virginia and career Naval Aviation. Romeo’s family is Virginia Tech and career Marine Infantry. No mutual respect. None.

I lived in VA Beach for one year in the fifth grade. Do any Virginia Jezzies of a certain age remember a really awesome 80's mall there? At the time it was vastly superior to malls in my native Canada and I was impressed.

My husband has developed some weird digestive problem and he has to fly all the time and he’s been worried about being on the plane with his weird guts, so I now say “Shart your pants!” for good luck. So far no sharts!

He really needs to go to the doctor.

I just felt like sharing.

I’M GONNA BR THAT PERSON!

His name is Watson. Fucking hipster, but I like him.

Those weren’t Ivanka’s?

Time to share my doggy friend Durango.

No to play Captain Obvious here, but that person who said you deserved getting your breast twisted for talking to the guy? That person is not your friend.
