I think it does. It's nice to know that what you do is noticed and not taken for granted. I'll admit that most of the thank-yous around here are for doing stuff for the kid or bigger projects vs the smaller stuff.

Sounds like a great celebration of your new digs! Enjoy!

Okay, glad I wasn’t the only one who thought it looked like sperm swimming to an egg!

You know what’s awesome? When people do this to you for your wedding. Just send back the RSVP as “no” and I won’t badger you into going! But when I contacted the non-responders, I got some really wishy-washy responses.

There was a show on briefly called Guide to Exteme Parenting (or something similar) where each ep. was about a different family living an unconventional lifestyle. One family had the McMansion and the “perfect” life but sold it all to live on the road. There were 2 kids and the parents made money as photographers.…

I'm not usually a fan of the hi-low hemline, but I love this one!

Found out this week that an old friend is getting divorced. They were one of those couples that just made sense together, y’know? So I feel bad for them and know it wouldn’t have been a decision taken lightly. But there was no indication that anything was wrong.

And here I sit in flyover country and will have to wait a decade to see this show... If ever.

I found this out the hard way (ha!) when I was pregnant. I quit coffee during that time plus digestion slows down while you gestate. It was a baaaaad combo.

I ate one before a volleyball game last week and assumed I'd be starving by the time we were done. I was happily incorrect about that!

There’s no helmet law in my state, either (for adults anyway). I want to yell out the window to the naked noggins to put on a fucking helmet, especially if they’re going to ride/drive like an asshole.

I purposely held my *bux cup so the check box with “decaf” was visible. I couldn't abstain from PSL. But now that they've changed the recipe, I can.

I need to find these books now.

There’s 3 relatives I can think of who have passed but would have gotten riled up over this... Assuming someone would have shown them Twitter.

That was the crappy part about reading the books only a few years ago as a grown-ass adult. I wish the concept of “mixing” and how “undesirable” it was (and how ridiculous it was to hate the mudbloods) had been first introduced as a fictional story. But no, I got the fully-leaded, real life, nasty opinions first.

I also have the urge to yell at my 3-y/o SHUT THE FUCK UP. I applaud you for not doing that with Bigfoot, especially given that you’ve been dealing with way harder stuff for so much longer. I am also glad you find ways to be silly with her (the fake accent at TB).

Damnit... Guess it will be even longer until we ask my MIL to use her timeshare to visit Disney.

My kid was very distractible so I had to use a cover. I’m not a small person to start so milky boobs were ridiculously big. That part in the BF books where they say baby should take the whole areola? Wasn’t possible for my kid... They got very big and very dark (they’ve gotten back to their pre-baby days now). The…

If available in your area, sign up for Smart 911. They provide your name, address, and other vital info to 911 centers since land lines are becoming so rare now. They have a check box for each person’s profile saying “This person is at risk for domestic violence.” I thought that was an awesome feature.

I am a hot mess when I see the deceased in caskets. Even when I didn’t really know the person and am attending for moral support of someone who did know the deceased, I just melt into a puddle of ugly crying sobs. Since then, I also assumed I’d just opt for cremation. I’ve not been to a funeral where there was only an…
