My favorite cousin was my one and only bridesmaid and I knew she was the perfect and only choice because a) I love her to pieces, duh b) we have the best kind of relationship where I knew that on the day of when I was nervous and rushing and stressed out, I could be stressed out around her and she wouldn’t take…

I kind of love doing dishes - it’s very meditative for me, and I love that my hands are all warm and I get to stare out the window at the bird feeder and just kind of space out. It’s also my drunk chore - if I get home and I’m pretty tipsy, chances are I’ll start doing dishes and my husband has learned there’s no…

I like having memories, too.

He came to my church years ago because he and his wife were there for a friend’s kid’s baptism and they were the godparents. We’re a pretty liberal, open minded church, and you could have cut the tension with a knife. Nobody wanted him there.

So many of those rural voters are just so “well, we probably don’t need to shake things up. Let’s just stay with what we’ve got. Ho, hum.” like good ol’, old boy Midwesterners are wont to do. We were watching the election coverage, too, and things looked so good....up until the whole of the richest part of Johnson…

My husband and I manage to argue over mowing the lawn, but we get through Ikea just fine! I didn’t even know the “Ikea relationship curse” was a thing, but maybe because the only one within hundreds of miles just opened last summer. When it comes to putting it together my system usually involves making a drink for…

I’ve always thought that Jennifer Lawrence looks exactly like Vivian when she smiles.

That Twisted Candle cover!! So creepy. I have a few (maybe first edition?) copies from the ‘30’s that my Grandma gave me and they are by far among my most prized possessions. And I always loved that one of her best friends was named George.

He could actually be talking about beans....I’ve kind of fallen in love with them all over in the last few months, so I totally get where (I think) he’s coming from. Black beans+cumin+cilantro omg. Unless I’m TOTALLY missing something, in which case I still love beans.

It’s easy to work hard and do well in school when you don’t have any obligations outside of school. For example, so many kids I grew up with didn’t have cars and had to take the bus home from school, which took an hour minimum. Then when they got home they had to wait for a parent to get home to drive them to their…

Don’t cry into your pellow over spilled melk.

I love everyone in this thread because I think this is the dumbest advice ever. My husband and I don’t argue regularly, but whenever we do I look back and realize that both of us were probably short tempered because we were sleep deprived! I will never understand why people think staying up later is going to solve…

When I had legitimately No Money in college I still shopped J. Crew sales all the time online because I knew everything would be a)awesome b)last forever c)reasonably priced and d)fit my super strong and large butt and thighs. Needless to say, I haven’t shopped there very much since then, even though I would love to!

My chin looks EXACTLY like the 2nd picture right now. Same locations and everything. Needless to say I'm going to save this and study it and memorize it and conduct my own face experiment.

My husband was working at an event center where a group of Scientologists had rented a conference room. They pulled up in big trucks with fake bakery/food labels on the outside. They were really serious about the rooms being locked and there were guards outside all day, but at night he sneaked in and took some pics.…

I got a Nordstrom mini-catalog thing in the mail yesterday and it was all festival outfits and tweens modeling fucking Calvin Kline normcore. It was absolutely horrible.

Totally! I went through a pretty serious funk for like, 2 months after my wedding, and I didn't even do all the planning - my husband did everything! But it was just like there wasn't this huge thing in the future that I had to look forward to anymore, and it was just....weird. No more coming home to boxes on the…

Have you tried oils yet? Get a little bottle of Evening Primrose Oil and break open a caplet and rub it all over your face. Ah. Maz. Ing. Otherwise, I use Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Serum most of the time and it's really wonderful. I also picked up this super amazing, basically bees wax and oils stuff this winter and I…

I do love the line where she says "(somethingsomething) heaven bless them, they will look up to me, and mind me!" but I think it's because it's accompanied by a key change. But yeah, the rest of the song can go.

I was going through some old pictures at my parent's house the other day and I found one of me standing in my crib, obviously having a fit and screaming and crying, and on my wall is the biggest, creepiest photo of a clown. Like, a real person in clown makeup photo, not just a drawing. WTH, mom?
