Sick days are there for you to use, or “cash in” at the end. That’s what they are for. They are a part of your employment contract. Personally, I wish they were labeled differently, because while some people have real health stuff to attend to, it shouldn’t be any less important to go to little Johnny’s soccer game.…

Ooops! I think now Jezebel is out to get her too!

For instance, I am now breaking into the children’s lit market because I did not have the time or discipline to get to the next level in stuff I was writing for adults. Will I ever write the great American novel? Probably not. But I take comfort in knowing that my kid stuff will have more readers and a bigger impact…

I love NYDJ. I have two pairs (a skinny pair and a fat pair).

My 94-year-old, stacked grandmother still waxes nostalgic about when Sophia Loren was popular, because, “That was the first time the stores carried blouses I could button!”

I’ve read a lot of her books—and loved some of them (she’s hit and miss)—but I’m sick of her whining. We can argue about the “chick lit” designation, or how books and authors are marketed (she’s not wrong about the skinny blond), or any distinctions between literary and popular fiction, but the truth is, she skews…

I ordered a few pairs of THINX because they said you could return them, then I couldn’t find online how to return them...in the meantime, from the one pair that fit, I learned that they do not absorb a whole day’s worth of flow, which means that, instead of changing your pad or tampon, you now have to change your…

This woman is not acknowledging that the reason abstinence culture helps her achieve her goals is because she hasn’t yet married. The other side of the purity coin is if she HAD gotten married at 19 and had twelve kids, she couldn’t have done any of the things she describes. While I respect her choice and am glad it…

Rabbi here! This is not even one of those obscure Jewish things that not a lot of people know. As a Jewish person, Ivanka should know that!

I would watch the shit out of that movie.

I just saw Ghostbusters today (and her comedy special) and I looooove her. She deserves all the success and happiness in the world!

Alright, I’ve definitely been schooled on the dynamics of both marriage and the NFL. But I still maintain that, if it were possible, it would be nice to accompany one’s wife to the biggest (not the only, I get it) competition of her career. And it might be nice for the NFL to recognize that (but I hear from y’all that…

I’m glad she’s making better acting choices. I still can’t believe she did a walk on in Bounce. She’s better than that. She was great in Friends though.

My guess would be they asked her to be the mom...but I bet she would have done it if she could have been the Bungalow Bunny!

Let’s hope it’s better than the suckfest of a stage musical they threw together to take money from 30-somethings like me (and our moms). They literally re-did the movie shot for shot, playing the soundtrack in the background. Baby and Johnny never sang a note, and the only thing they added was a slightly less vague…

Seriously?! Not just all of this ridiculousness, but you DIDN’T GO WITH YOUR WIFE WHEN SHE WAS COMPETING IN THE OLYMPICS?!?! How many Superbowls did you make her sit through? She literally competes one week every four years. WTF?

I like “Married” from Cabaret. But I’m pretty sure there is a no Fosse rule at weddings.

My best friend chose her first dance song based entirely on one criterion: brevity. She and her husband were not dancers and were embarrassed to have public dancing forced on them, so they chose a 90 second song (I think it was “I am the Luckiest”). Then they segued into a game where the bride and groom had to talk…

#4 played on continuous loop as I drove a minivan full of high schoolers across New Orleans on a field trip. A year later they sang it to me at prom. It will never not be associated with that. I don’t hate it for other couples though.

I’ve gotta say, I like the women’s-comedic-memoir genre. I’ve read works by comedians I don’t even like (though I started liking Mindy Kaling after reading her book and discovering she’s not as shallow as her characters) and learned a lot about the creative process and being a woman in a “man’s job.” I probably…
