So true!! Had the worst time finding shoes because I wanted something with no heel at all! Tried sandals, flats, etc... everything was too casual and beachy or, well, "orthopedic"-looking. This was for a 2010 wedding. Who are these people who want to spend an entire day taking pictures and dancing in giant heels…

Oh dear lord, I would fall and break something before even getting to the aisle, but those are awesome. Well done for wearing those! Love them!

So cute!!! Congrats, and have so much fun!!

Those are awesome!!!!

I love those!!! I also refused to wear heels but had such trouble finding what I wanted!! I wound up with simple white ballet flats with some ruching on the front and figured I'd dye them a funky color after the wedding so I could wear them later, but I never got around to it (and it's been 4+ years now... never did…

I'll admit it: when I first read this step, it took me a minute to get it. I didn't see the creases in the picture and couldn't figure it out, and didn't catch on to why I didn't understand. Then I realized: it's because I am such a *master* of this step already, and I didn't need the instructions typed out for me. …

ME TOO. You are not alone.

That was my thought, too! I have two water-droplet Cranes and wish I had one of these now! Bah.

This is actually a great idea. And a great idea for a way for the NFL to get their sponsors involved in the DV/IPV initiatives, putting their money where their mouths are. It would actually serve the advertising function for them, too, by creating an awful lot of goodwill among the consumers who are watching what…

Ugh, so sad. Not okay. Burt, if you're reading this, we're going to miss you!!!! A more formal announcement would be wonderful, if you please, so we can pace ourselves over here... thank you for everything!!!

Wait, what?! No!!!! How much longer is she here? SAD!!!

YES!!! My dog (lab/beagle mix - we think) does this, too. "YOU'RE ON THE FLOOR, I NEED TO WALK ON YOU AND LICK YOUR HEAD." Or "YOU'RE LIFTING YOUR LEG TO THE SIDE, THAT LOOKS LIKE FUN, LET ME CHASE YOUR MOVING FOOT!" Funnier if my husband is the one stretching on the floor because he is self-conscious about his…

You know, it honestly didn't occur to me to invite my MIL to go dress-shopping with us. I only went with my mom anyway, just the two of us (and that was stressful enough), but my MIL lives across the country so I just didn't think to see if we should plan to shop when she was in town. I showed her pictures of my…

As I read the first paragraph, I tried to imagine where it was all going... but this story is better than anything I could have imagined. Amazingness. *I bow down.* Thank you for sharing it!!

I feel like I get the overall meaning of this from context when I see it used, but for those of us who started reading Kitchenette late, would you (or someone) be so kind as to share the backstory of the thermoses? I keep wondering about the origin of this...

I think about those exact same things with mine's aversion to filing when he has clipped his at weird, odd, sharp angles. Jagged. *shudder* Terrifying.

Me too. How have I never known this?

Oooohhhh... to that end, any suggestions for gracefully helping one's husband learn to properly manage his own nails? Proper length (not cut to the quick but not longer than Elvira's), not clipped with odd pointy angles (or if that happens, the need to accept the importance of filing), importance of cleaning under…

Additional question about creative braids: can you do them with super curly hair, or does it just look like a mess?
