I think the older you get the less time you need to decide if someone else's bullshit is a good fit for your bullshit. I dated guys for 3-6 months at a time until I met my husband. We almost broke up right around the 6 month mark, but with him I wanted to do the work to make it work more than I didn't want to do the…

Ditto! I don't think I had dated anyone consecutively for a year (a couple on-and-off things for a year) before I met my husband. My usual relationships were 3-6 months max. I don't know why he was different, but from the beginning I knew that our relationship was worth working and fighting for; it would have been…

I bought a new car last year and did enough research to know 1) spares weren't guaranteed and 2) I wanted a car that had one because I can't get on board with a can of fix a flat and a prayer (my husband who buys and sells used cars thought I was crazy, but this is nothing new, so).

When I lived in LA people told me I had met both Jamie Lee Curtis and Cuba Gooding Jr (two separate incidents) AFTER our interactions were over. Celebrities! They look so much like people that you don't realize they're famous!

While boarding a plane in Knoxville, TN (the worst city for a layover, ever), a dude in first class popped out of his seat as I was walking down the aisle and bumped into me pretty hard. He was super nice and apologized and it wasn't until much later when my brain caught up from, "Weird. That guy looked familiar," to…

This is EXACTLY what doing yoga in my house is like! Our French Bulldog is like "Oh hey - that mat looks warmer than the floor, my butt must be on it" and our Bug is like "THIS IS SO MUCH FUN ARE WE PLAYING WHAT ARE DOING CAN I LICK YOUR FACE CAN I LAY UNDERNEATH YOU CAN I SIT ON TOP OF YOU YAYAYAYAYAY!"

The stuff was like what Kate spade thought was "edgy" and "cool" but was really "ugly" and "impractical" for the most part. The bags looked great but I'm with you - I was expecting more J.Crew prices than Kate Spade prices. Then again, I guess Madewell is working well for J.Crew with still being $$

The nearby village is straight up the Victors' Village from the Hunger Games.

Preach! She is crushing the business side of life.

Jessica Alba is so pretty and glowy I just don't know how to process it. She's so radiant I could die!

Thermacare heat stickums. It doesn't totally negate the pain but it def helps.

My husband and I will cut out anything extraneous from our budget if we can keep our housekeeper. She immediately solves like 98% of our angst just by cleaning our house once a week.

Bless Kate Hudson for selling the idea of it being a balmy 85 degrees outside when everyone else is bundled up to high heavens.

but is it gluten free?

Ugh, the boy question! I was allowed to get my ears pierced early because I got asked that so often.

My mom and I had matching bowl cuts - I'm sorry, "The Wedge" - from kindergarten until I was allowed to grow my hair out in middle school.*

I feel like there's a distinction between being nice and being a doormat. You can be nice to people while still having a backbone and a point of view.

Would the US have to extradite her if she didn't voluntarily return to the US on her own? Would they bother?

AS SHE SHOULD. COTTON IS NATURE'S GIFT TO ALL OF US AND VISCOSE IS THE WORST THING EVER MADE.

I will support anything and everything that leads to Jane Krakowski being on my television.
