I happened upon the official Instagram for the show last night and read every single post in one go. I can’t recommend it highly enough. There are a lot of posts from Crabtree about how she chose her designs, as well as from the director and lots of other people with amazing behind-the-scenes, how-we-chose-this…

Yes! It was so creepy and I saw it as foreshadowing, as well. Like, Offred and Nick are right by this window that they could look out of to see the future, and they don’t. It’s right under their noses but they can never see it.

That would be SO good. I think about that book constantly, especially the part where they talk about how all the rich and famous people were pretty much worthless after society collapsed, and the most valued and needed people were the gardeners and janitors and cooks - read: IMMIGRANTS.

My white, old, male dentist retired and his replacement is a young, African American woman. The first time I went in for an appointment I had to realize that I was totally distrusting her for NO REASON AT ALL. It’s not like they’d let her be a dentist at this place if she wasn’t great and didn’t have all the…

Leroux is one of my favorite people to follow on Instagram! Her kid is freakin’ adorable and she is hilarious.

I just finished History of Wolves by Emily Fridlund, and I can’t recommend it enough. It takes place in a small Minnesota community and the main character is such a kick ass girl. It was written so beautifully, and you learn about the big tragedy that happens in her life early on in a flashback, so the rest of the…

ALL of my and my husband’s friends are having babies. All of them. Our best of best friends. So many freaking babies.

I love how immediately dedicated he was to her, and she to him.

YES. So, so gross and so spot on.

I reeeeeeally like Taboo. I have no idea why. Maybe I love that Tom Hardy’s dad produced it with him? I do know I love me some Jonathan Pryce.

I highly recommend the Audible version. Claire Danes reads it and it is fantastic.

My cat will go to my desk and knock one thing onto the floor, wait a minute to see if I heard, and then he’ll choose something else to swipe off the surface, wait quietly to see if I noticed it that time, and usually by the third or 4th pen/computer mouse/stack of papers I’m up and he immediately runs to the door…

Oh man, I wonder if my mom kept all my American Girl magazines....I had the very first issue! Also, weren’t the dolls $82? I was the only girl in my tiny school grade that knew about them so I didn’t have many people to share my excitement with :(

YES. Also, when Felicity helps the soldier? I always daydreamed about having an incredibly worthy, terribly important secret like that.

I have so much downtime at my job. Are there things I can do from my computer that are of any help? I’m not really in a position in my office that I can make calls or do too much out and about during the day, but I wish I could fill in my time with anything else helpful.

lolololololol omg no, but I totally see how it would read like that and that’s hilarious. No, more like he’s an amateur photographer and there are sooooooooooooooo many pictures he’s taken that I’ve never seen before. I was going though them and kept saying stuff like “wow, I didn’t remember we went there!” or “who’s…

I spent an hour looking through a few thousand photos on my husband’s computer of our last 10 years together and my GOD why didn’t someone tell me to wear better fitting clothing for the last decade? There are like two pictures where I look like a decently dressed human being.

It’s SO hard to find cotton jeans, and I’m miserable about it. Someone at Eddie Bauer told me that cotton had just gotten so expensive that everyone was going to synthetic fabrics to keep the prices down. The other awful part about that, besides the fit and feel, is that dye doesn’t get absorbed by, well, plastic the…

Which products did you use? I have so little faith that mine will ever go away so I’m willing to try anything and everything!

My dog won’t touch baby carrots, but if I’m chopping up a regular big carrot and give her a piece, she munches it up. It’s like she knows it hasn’t been processed by anything...
