Yep, I was saying earlier how awesome it would be if they held up the vote just for him and then he walked onto the floor and voted against it. Sadly, I don’t think that’s likely now that we know the surgery was for a blood clot and not to give him a spine.

Senator McCain is no hero. I like guys who don’t get blood clots.

Their emails will usually be listed underneath their bylines. Or just google “(name of reporter) (name of publication) email” and something will likely pop up. Send it to their official work email. Like here, they’d all end in @jezebel.com.

You can do it. They gave this to you because they know you can do it.

I’m so sorry my love. I think we all need to tell our stories. It seems too far away and yet too soon. I vote by mail, but I still have all the stuff I bought, I throw pillow in blue of “A Woman’s Place is in the White House” on my, heee just realized how appropriate this is, fainting couch! My “Shatter the Glass…

Second post today, but I wanted to ask your opinion re: changing careers. I think I want to become an obstetric nurse!

This also reignited my grieving process! I wore my pantsuit to vote (it was hot as balls in SoCal too- a Santa Ana) and I teared up when I punched my ballot for HRC. I commiserated with my awesome friend in the PNW and we both said, “Could this really happen? For real?” We were so hopeful!

Happy three months, Catalina!

I saved a bottle of sparkling rosé for that night. I was so pumped. I didn’t want to drink too much because I had an interview for an internship the next day. We opened it anticipating victory. When we realized what was going to happen, I had one glass and ugly cried.

If I even felt capable of crying anymore this would have done it. Seriously. I’m sitting here, wondering why I never wondered about the balloons and confetti after how glorious it was at the end of the convention. But I can’t even tear up, I can just stare and wonder.

I can see all the boning in that corseted dress. Don’t feel bad. That woman is cinched within an inch of her life.

Is it bad that I read this and thought ‘hmmm, I should cut the necks out of a few t-shirts?’ My style and workplace are fairly casual, I always have a cardigan on over whatever shirt, and am still kinda-young, it’ll be fine right?

Let me add a fourth category for people who were obsessed with really fancy playhouses as kids. My inner 8 year loves the concept of tiny houses. They remind me of the super deluxe/adult version of the furnished (and wired with electricity) playhouses that a few of my friends from elementary school had. I dreamed of…

I heard my mother comment about her diets and how fat she was. She never looked fat to me.

Now I look fat to me.

While I eat, and am I guess a healthy weight, I don’t consider myself fully recovered. I cycle. I’ll eat everything for a week, and then stick to a nutrigrain bar and a handful of popcorn the next.

I don’t…

“Eat food - not too much - mostly plants”

Ugh, the use of “clean” makes me crazy! Food is not “dirty” unless there’s actual dirt in it.

The Chopping of the Brownies. God. You go in, there’s a plate of treats, and instead of just taking one there’s this ritualistic slicing of the whatever into halves, fourths, eighths—anything to prove that you’re not greedy and sloppy and out of control. Unless the thing is the size of a human torso it cannot…

It makes me feel super isolated because the only time I want to hear about what you eat is if it’s some delicious recipe. It’s hard because I’m really into weight lifting (which honestly helped me recover, too), so I do care about nutrition, but I don’t want to hear that you can only have brown rice and raw veggies…

I just started listening to Kelsey Miller’s audiobook (“Big Girl: How I Gave Up Dieting and Got a Life”) and I’ve been sobbing in the car driving to work because I relate SO HARD. I had never heard of “intuitive eating” until this week, and it’s so brutal because it’s so simple but at the same time I have 3 decades…

And let’s not forget the not so subtle hints that he’s ummm... well equipped.
