Thanks!!! I'm getting nervous, but it's good nervous! I'm looking forward to it. I dream of one day (one day!) working my way up to a half marathon. Hopefully I'll get there, right now though, I'm working on not focusing on what the bf can do (he's a much more experienced runner than I am...) and learning more about…

WOOHOO! I love bags! I just bought a new one, too! It's not a designer bag, but it's a handmade one that I fell in love with on Etsy! Good for you — we all deserve a treat! :-)

So, I did it — I took the plunge and signed up for my first race! It's only a 5k, which in some ways makes me feel a tad wimpy, especially since my boyfriend always runs long distances just for the hell of it. I know I shouldn't compare what we both do physically, but I can't help it sometimes. But, other than that,…

Aaaaaand my heart just melted. OMG!

Wow, I am blown away by her positivity. And what's more is that it seems so genuine. I can't imagine being in that situation, and she is just so full of life, and truly seems happy to be alive! I wish her all the best — she can be such an inspiration to so many others.

I've liked her for a while, and it is so nice to see that she is growing up to be a well-rounded and grounded young lady. SHE WINS ALL THE INTERNETS!

And cheers to you! I'm one of those cheesy "why can't we all just get along?" types, but I really do mean it! Hahaha best of luck to you too! ^_^

Okay, so the Romney's aren't MY cup of tea, but dammit that's a cute boy! I'm personally digging the lei. haha adorbs!

YES! This a million times! Nothing makes me more - annoyed? - than when I'm having a crap day, and people act like it's the goddamn apocalypse. I mean, yes, most days I am happy. And ::gasp!:: some days, I would rather lay in bed all day and read than look at another human being. I wish people understood that. Not all…

Nope, you aren't a freak, because I am happy as well. Of course some days suck ass, but that's the human experience. However, as a general state of being, I am one of the happy ones. Enjoy it. And congrats on being med free! My good friend has been off his for some time now too, and I am proud of him for it! So…

This is great! I got lucky because my mom was always very sex-positive, even when I was young! When I asked where babies came from at about 5 years old, she went to the library and got all these books, and we looked through them together. She always referred to our parts in an anatomically correct way, even at that…

That about sums it up

This is wonderful! It's always refreshing to see how much animals can truly help so many human maladies. I would love to see more research on this kind of thing — there are a lot of possibilities! I'm glad that Jessi-Cat has helped Lorcan (who is precious, btw!) to open up more. Hopefully, he will continue to blossom…

Thanks! And -huzzah!- that you got Friday off. Love when that happens!

I DO NOT WORK TOMORROW! This makes me a happy camper, especially because this week will be nuts once I'm back. But! I am getting ever-so-close to vacation/boyfriend time. If I can survive the upcoming week, the payoff will be great. Yay! How are y'all doing tonight?

Actually, the podcast "Stuff Mom Never Told You" looks at the MPDG and they touch on the lack of black/women of color MPDGs. Mostly it has to do with the fact that black women in particular are put into a completely different box socially. Because of the stigma attached to and stereotyping of black women, we (black…

Thank you! I will email you!

Thank you! I will do that now!

I actually considered egg donation, especially because I don't plan on having my own biological children (I want to adopt, and my bf has a child already...). Does anyone have info on where to even begin finding reputable information about this?

Love these two ladies! So classy. Also, umm, Michelle — erm, Mrs. Obama — can I have your dress, please?
