This is a nice break from floofy pink princess dresses and sparkly wands. Weee!

Actual swan princess

Shows up in a trash bag and still manages to slay all your faves!

She, as always, looks stunning. Accessories are cool and totally apropos. And while I get that the dress was chosen because it looks villainous: it looks like it's made from garbage bags. Atelier Versace or Hefty? Too close to call.

Ok, this is something you don't see that much- someone who looks like she's really actually having fun on the red carpet. It makes me want to be there.

Meh. I'll probably watch it.

Skype works great

"The news follows moves from Chili's and Applebee's to place tablets on their tables, allowing diners to order and pay without interacting with human wait staff at all [....]"

Jack in the Box has ordering kiosks, and they are ALWAYS broken, from what I can tell. Also, having worked in food service/restaurants, a lot of people look forward to seeing their favorite cashier or bartender or whatever. I've seen articles in trade magazines about robot bartenders, for example, but regulars come in…

Hungry people + broken machinery does not a happy ending make.

Considering Skype doesn't even reliably function 95% of the time, I'd say we're still pretty far off from the robot apocalypse.

Can't a girl want to grow up to be an engineer and want to wear a tiara as well?

I have no idea who half of these people are and only a vague idea of most of the rest. (George Clooney and Brad Pitt being the notable exceptions.)

Aww Kim & Kanye are cute idgaf. It's funny, people keep talking about it being Kim's big day but a part of me feels like this was really Kanye's dream come true. I'm kind of elated for him. He married the girl of his dreams in a beautiful ceremony. Kind of beautiful to imagine how blissed out he must have been.

I did "camping light" recently. A bunch of friends rented a spot at KOA at a local beach - it had electricity and water hookup. the super clean bathrooms with showers and awesome swimming pool were within eyesight. They also had the cutest little log cabins with porch swings and window AC units you could rent. There…

Yo, you need to set up a hotspot on your cell phone. It is what I do when I take my kids to the park.

I worked at a camp that cost 10,000 and everyone was incredibly close and like family. At least half of the counselors were former campers so they grew up with some of their campers. My campers were like my little sisters, we were invited to their Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, went to reunions etc. Some of the counselors have…

You're certainly free to that opinion. My point wasn't so much to argue a point of view as to put you in their shoes. Sending one's child(ren) away for 2/3rds of the year is not a decision made lightly. You are actually fairly privileged in that you have the means to send your kids away but the time to keep them at…

My mom (who is now almost 80) told me how much she loved going camping as a girl scout. I found this really hard to believe because my mom is not the camping sort and so asked her what her troupe's camping experience consisted of. Apparently one of the girls fathers owned a resort on Lake Michigan and they stayed in…
