Sweet, now I know what to get my dad for Christmas!

Yep! If I wasn’t in the “two week wait” right now I’d be having a bottle of wine over this news.

My younger brother and I didn’t get our licenses until we were out of the house (age 19 and 22 respectively; I got married and graduated college before getting mine). For me, I had a boyfriend who drove me around starting sophomore year, and once he went to college I didn’t mind taking the school bus or hitching a…

A lot of the jobs that went to teens changed to be 18+, too. I worked at Build A Bear from 2007-11 (age 16-19) and, by the time I’d been there six months, the company changed its policy on hiring minors. Fortunately they grandfathered us youngin’s in, otherwise they would have had to replace half the staff. But my…

Sam and crew did win a Creative Arts Emmy last weekend! Not quite as prestigious as a Primetime Emmy (and honestly I think they deserve it more than John Oliver), but well deserved. It almost makes up for the fact that Kristen Schaal got robbed.

I’m on fertility drugs right now which are totally fucking with me emotionally. I can’t get through Princess Carolyn’s episode of BoJack without sobbing, which kinda freaked HusbandVader out. Then I got a thing from Highlights magazine about how I should order, and while talking to myself about it HV called our cat…

Unless the shitty person joins the family after; then you’re kinda screwed. Case in point, my SIL’s shitty misogynistic husband, who I refuse to share a room with unless there are plenty of escape routes. I haven’t seen my SIL in almost two years because of him (and tbh it’s probably better that way because my husband…

Seriously, that was the worst shot(s) ever, and I once kicked a nurse while she was trying to inject me with something and ended up giving myself a huge scratch with the needle. Beyond glad I did it, though, and I’m planning on being militant about my hypothetical future kids receiving it too.

No, he owned Miss USA. Miss America purports to be a scholarship pageant rather than a beauty pageant. (Full disclosure, I’ve known 2 Miss NHs and one of my dear friends has competed for several years)

She was nominated for Sarah-Freaking-Lynn and lost to SETH MCFARLANE????? Fuuuuuuuuck that. Suck a dick, dumbshit Emmy voters.

I can’t speak to Ms. Jolie’s health, but chemotherapy is used to treat other conditions as well.

He and his wife have been married for a few years, even, so he might actually know what he’s talking about!*

Max is the best and I have no idea how he’s dealt with Nev this long.

Butter is better for crispy skin than oil is. Seriously, try it. Thank me later.

HusbandVader and I celebrated our 5/11 year anniversary in NYC last night! We stayed right near the WTC, saw Anastasia on Broadway (amazing!), had breakfast at 1 WTC, and walked around the infinity pools and the Oculus. Found out that I Do Not Do Limos, but the rest of the trip was great!

I cut back a lot in recent years because I’m trying to get pregnant. I’m down to 1-2 bottles of wine per month. I buy more expensive wine (my favorite is $27 before tax) to keep from getting it every week. This obviously may not be possible if your job has you working “normal” hours, but I try to avoid grocery…

Robin Thicke can father a child but I, a fairly decent human being who has never advocated date rape, can’t even ovulate. What a world. I need a drink.

As someone currently going through fertility treatments, “just adopt” is not as cheap or easy as you and others say it is. Specifically for my situation- fertility treatments are covered by my health insurance. Adoption is not. If you want to adopt that’s great, but evangelizing to others who didn’t ask your opinion…

My personal favorite.

Same. I really like being in Hilbert, fewer people around. And I have to say, the Waking Titan ARG was a lot of fun.
