We use the word tchotchkes at least five times a day at work (we host marketing events, among other things), and I had a manager working for me who used to call them gotchkes. It may or may not have influenced my decision to manage them out.

It’s 100% worth it, I swear. Once you get over the embarrassment of exposure, it lasts forever and is so much better than shaving.

I did not. I meant what I said-the butterfly pose is what you assume to have your nether region professionally waxed. Similar to this, but naked from the waist down.

I support the butterfly pose. It makes life so much easier than self grooming.

OMG I’ve been drinking LaCroix, Tequila, and Mio for years. All the joy of a mixed drink, much fewer calories!! Plus you hydrate while you drink!

My dad just condemned white nationalists, their behavior, and the whole thing.

I just posted last week about the regular wars I get into with my Trump loving father-and while my husband is less emotional in his responses, he calls both my father and his mother out on their bullshit and alternative facts. We refuse to let our son see that BS go unaddressed.

My trainer and I totally gossip through my workout (when I’m not mouth breathing and sucking water). It makes that heavy ass sled a little more bearable (TA would hate her, she makes me lift heavy shit, but I’m getting much stronger.) I get the dirt on the gym, fill her in on any ongoing sagas I might have, we chat…

My mil met him at a rally. She has the pic framed on her dresser. I gag every time I see it.

I got it because I work a high-stress job 50-60 hours a week, my husband absolutely carries us everywhere else but cooking is not his jam, I get in cooking ruts, and eating out every night isn’t healthy. It wasn’t about financial breaks, it was about paying someone else to do what I don’t have time to do, which is get…

I feel like there’s a moved on her like a bitch joke in here somewhere, but I’m exhausted and godforsaken Atlanta ‘burbs start school tomorrow so I can’t quite get it to gel. It’ll come to me.

That’s interesting-can you remember where you read it? I’m a Director at a Fortune 50 and part of my focus is talent retention, development, etc. Our last several promotions have all been internal, and I would argue against the idea that companies don’t promote from within-I’ve worked for several large and mid-size…

Corker isn’t a complete idiot. I mean, he sucks, but he’s a competent adult.

I had the worst taste in men for years. I mean, the WORST. ugh. *gag* my husband now is great. But man, it’s like I had to go through just years of *blech*

It’s possible. As my husband and I explained divorce to our six year old this am, because his friend’s parents got divorced and we wanted to ensure he understood the new boyfriend situation before the upcoming birthday party, we saw him get quiet for a second. Then he goes, very decisively, “You’re not getting…

Confession: my house is just under 6,000 square feet with 3 people living in it (not on purpose, infertility is a bitch, and our basement is intended for aging parents as needed) so I’m probably the wrong person to weigh in, but the tiny house purchases so rarely seem practical. The couple who built a tiny beach house…

This is my rug. I let my husband pick it out-in my defense, we had been at the furniture store for hours with a four year old buying tons of furniture for a house we had just finished building. I did not look at the itemized bill at the time and just today learned that my husband spent four figures on a rug. A rug.

Nope. I’m going through this right now in my company (Director, Fortune 50). I was promoted to drag a department out of a short-term mind-set, change customer perception, and to create long-term sustainable growth because the industry needs to change due to new competitors entering the market. By all markers of…

I used Boar’s Head and it was awesome-strong flavor. I threw it in with some browned butter and melted it, then added the heavy cream, brought it to a simmer and let it cook for a few, added some chives, then stirred it in with the pasta. You can add walnuts and dried cranberries according to preference, but I didn’t…

She is doing a lot of different things- a mix of TRX bands, some body weight exercises, free weights, cardio exercises, sleds, the whole bit. Friday I did burpees and jumping jacks between reverse lunges and squats with free weights and rope slams until I thought I would die. She’s definitely not a yeller -she’s…
