Either that or Getting A Raise. That shit’s great.

Yup. My house was broken into when I was 17 (no one was home because an ice storm drove us out, we think it was the neighbors but never had any proof) and I’m fastidious about home security. I don’t get delivery when I’m home alone, I don’t open the door if I’m not expecting visitors, there’s always someone checking…

Such a blunder sometimes it makes me wonder why I even bring the thunder.

If you question this then the terrorists win!

Word is that he had his phone taken away. Like a child.

I’m lucky enough to have a job that gives me weekday mornings mostly off during the school year and it is AMAZING to go at like 9 am on a Tuesday. I’m dreading summer vacation because I hate losing the quiet store.

That poor sweet baby. That’s one of my worst fears as a nanny- that something happens while the kids are in my care and help can’t come for some reason. I hope Brandon’s family and the sitter are able to get all the help they need as they work through this.

Yup. My husband used to have that hang-up. It took many a long conversation but he’s finally either dealt with it, or he’s gotten much better at keeping it to himself. I kind of almost understood it when we were in high school, but once we got to college and started talking seriously about marriage it became a deal…

That Kushner headline is a mess. It’s also making me really glad I’m not famous because I hang out one-on-one with my husband’s friends all the time (spoiler alert: they’re also my good friends). I can’t imagine crashing on one of their couches or doing car work with them and then seeing the Daily Mail write a…

I love this. Judging by the fact that the 9 y/o I nanny is STILL singing a song about the Jamestown Colony set to “Shut Up And Dance,” those kids are going to remember this song forever. More teachers like Mr. Yancy please!

Anecdatally, my dad and my uncle have both been married thrice and the third seems to be the charm. My folks have been married almost 29 years and my uncle and his wife for 10 or so. Obviously two does not a trend make, but if my husband and I ever split up I’ll probably get marriage #2 over and done with fast so I…

That’s offensive. Vincent Adultman would be a great president. Well, as long as his adult braces don’t make him cranky.

Off topic, but I’ve met the Knights’ parents. They’re both Episcopal priests and preached at my childhood church when our reverand was on vacation. Very nice people!

The Jonas Brothers will get to see it (already got to see it? I’m not sure of the proper tenses around time travel).

I’ve been working on a Sophie’s Universe blanket in Caron Simply Soft with my trusty helper:

I legit squeed when I saw that pic earlier. Ugh Felicia Day is the best (if she’s problematic please don’t tell me I don’t think I could handle it)

Ok but he’s totes gay.

No, Danbury.

As a white CT Democrat who wholeheartedly supports BLM, you are not wrong. Weird side note, I was at an immigration rally last weekend for an interfaith group and the BLM table was staffed entirely by white people. Not entirely sure why. Connecticut is a weird place.

My husband used to work at RadioShack and a disgruntled customer once told him “you have no idea how powerful I am on the internet.”
