Congrats! Hope baby and mom are doing well. Nice sly shade to the “as the father of a daughter...” schtick.

So brave! A true ally!

I bet he ghosted her.

Oh dear. Just here to say that I’m all doped up and recovering from a septioplasty to correct breathing problems from an old broken nose. If you can, see someone to be sure it sets right. The surgery, not fun. Not terrible, but not great fun. I am looking forward to breathing more and snoring less.

Sorry about your nose. Don’t broken noses always bleed a lot? Anyway, you’re a better parent than either my husband or me. When our oldest was 2, he jumped on my foot and broke a ganglion cyst. He ran for his room when I howled. My husband didn’t know the baby gate was locked and was afraid the little monster would…

So it happened! After 28 months, three miscarriages in the first year, and then “unexplained infertility” over 12 cycles with a Reproductive Endocrinologist I FINALLY got pregnant again. 6 eggs and an IUI and it took. It’s super early, I don’t even go in for my betas until Tuesday but the test is unmistakably pregnant…

I’m going to a holiday party tonight with the man I’ve been seeing. This is the first time I’m sort of meeting a bunch of his friends and whatnot and I almost never make a good first impression (quiet introvert who hates small talk), so I’m super nervous. They’re all a little bit older than me and I’m worried my usual…

Hey guys, long time no see! I forget to post early on Saturdays so that’s why there haven’t been Catalina updates. So here’s one.

Had a terrible interview recently. Sometimes I’m great in an interview and sometimes I get nervous and just can’t get my feet under me. It’s a shame because it would have been a great job but I came off as an anxiety-ridden rabbit.

Started my journey to better health. New meds from the VA have me feeling steady and school is going well. Things are looking up!

In the US she’s a C-lister. In India (and other countries where Bollywood is huge), she’s as A-list as it gets.

Those kinds of choreographed dance parties are VERYYYY common in Indian weddings. In the dozens of Indian weddings I’ve been to, I don’t know that there’s been one WITHOUT choreographed dances, regardless of how humble or ostentatious the wedding was. 

She’s an A-lister in India, which is where the wedding was, and which has a population 3 times that of the US. Their big stars are Much bigger than our big stars. 

In Indian weddings its common to have a Sangeet, which includes dances and performances from both families. It shouldnt be seen as an unusual inclusion

FYI the “elaborate, choreographed dance party” is part of a traditional Indian wedding. Weddings in India can be celebrated over the course of several days, and include a bunch of different events.

C-lister? Ha! In America, maybe. In Bollywood, she’s as big a star as they come. And this wedding took place in India, so it’s par for the course for Bollywood celebrity weddings.

This politics column is literally called “barf bag” - and they’re getting on Springsteen for expressing cynicism about the future of American Politics? lol.

I don't even know why they're shitting on him for expressing cynicism about the election. Aren't we supposed to be super cynical?

“I am sure that you have been wondering what Bruce Springsteen’s thoughts on the 2020 election are and reader, wait no longer: He is pretty sure that Trump is going to win. Sorry!”
