I had to put my dog down three months ago tomorrow. Her 10th birthday would also have been tomorrow. It just isn’t fair when we lose such good dogs.

It’s in St. Louis City. I work a block away. It’s bad enough it’s a 4 hour drive for many women and then they keep placing restrictions.

No one in my high school class has died. It seems surprising as we approach 15 years later. Some people in the grades around mine died in high school and have since died but my year is still death free. I know at least 4 of my classmates though who have lost children. One to drowning, two to cancer, and another…

What!? I had no idea! I’m so glad I saw La Nouba since it was a perfect thing to do when arriving in Orlando.

I’ve bought sale Pottery Barn and Ballard Rugs and they were okay. My Home Decorators rug is pretty nice. My RugsUSA rugs are legit my favorites.

My husband thought I would want to go and it was the fastest no of my life. We got stuck in a screening with a trailer and I was in tears just from that. I already had a vibe my own dog was sick and since then she displayed symptoms and we lost her last month. I can’t even handle the emotional manipulation of this…

Yes! Beer batter is the ultimate batter for onion rings.

They built a podium for him during a press event at my work. We have a podium mind you, they just made a taller one for him.

Same here. I am literally working a block away from the PP in the city, I moved here because I’m excited about the city and couldn’t stand living among my simple neighbors out in the country anymore. I had always planned to move to the Pacific Northwest but my husband and I found opportunities in the Midwest. He works…

My coworkers each gave me $20 for Admin Professionals Day which turned out to be a lot of twenties since I had added new team members and I’m the only admin. So I bought playoff hockey tickets, Mac lipstick in Patisserie at the Nordstrom sale, some tees from Boden at their 25% off sale, some J Crew tees, and 2 donuts.…

When people hear I had cancer, they often want to tell me about their pre-cancerous cell scares. I don’t give a fuck. It was probably scary and required a medical procedure that is over. If they can’t recognize the difference between that and a full cancer diagnosis, a long-term treatment plan, and the effects that…

Onder has also fought against expanding the ACA in Missouri and refused to put protections in place to prevent Jeff City interns from being sexually harassed by representatives which happens on the regular and had several major scandals over the last couple of years. Onder will probably get rewarded a cushy job in St.…

St. Charles County will vote Republican, even if the guy is literally murdering their children in front of them. They didn’t always used to be that way but it’s who they are now. When I realized how full of hate my neighbors were for liberals, I moved to St. Louis City where my alderwoman sponsored the protections…

I work 2 blocks from the only Planned Parenthood performing abortions in Missouri and see it most days. I see the protestors, the Thrive vehicle that parks on the street trying to convince women to come there (and gets to teach Missouri schoolchildren sex ed since we legally mandate abstinence only education) and it’s…

I loved that special! I kept pinning images from the final spaces even though I live in a place that looks nothing like that, as is the law of pinterest.

I don’t ever get a summer vacation because those with kids get dibs on dates so I’ve given up on the dream and frankly I don’t like traveling during peak season anyway. Going to bed early after a warm bath into a freshly made bed is my treat to myself once a month and it’s heaven.

I definitely watched. Ted Mosbius (because it was clearly him and not Ted Mosby) was always fun to watch roleplay. I just needed 1 more hit. I should have known it would be shut down with AnnaSophia Robb in it. Major bummer! If Finding Your Roots is off PBS for good too I don’t know how I’ll go on. I swear I keep my…

I can say that I love love love that Crate & Barrel not only has reviews on their website but also lets you see if the piece you are considering is on display in your area.
And if anyone has owned the Pottery Barn Chesterfield or West Elm Henry leather pieces, please share your experiences before I waste all my money!

There’s been an increase in armed muggings and car jackings lately. I live in a medium safe neighborhood and I’ve personally known 4 people it has happened to in the past year and my neighborhood page is full of even more. Thankfully I’ve only been the victim of property crime. My coworker just got carjacked grabbing…

I don’t disagree that she’s received racist treatment at times. There are 4 top contenders and 3 of them are black. In St. Louis, the assumption is if you have more than one person of any race they cancel each other out or someone should step aside. That’s how it played out last election and this go around the other…
