Pretty meh. Ella Mai was easily the most stand-out aspect. Some of the sketches were more weird than funny (Thanksgiving song, curn/cornels), but I suppose I can appreciate the weirdness and the cast for going for it.

Same re: Northface on Midwestern campuses 10 years ago. Except I was in grad school so my parents weren’t paying for shit and I couldn’t fathom being able to afford a $250 jacket. Though some of these down parkas, it’s like...add a zero to that price. Sheesh. We had our first snow of the year in Chicago area a week…

Yeah, my mom did most of the parenting, at least M-F, and when my dad buggered off around the globe for various conferences. Thankfully, I can expect much better support from my partner.

My dad worked long hours and my mom was a SAHM, so she did most of the parenting, period. She also had mental health issues including untreated ppd after my brother was born. Not a great situation, and my dad wasn’t blameless in it.

Yes, this. I vividly remember my dad teaching me not to tell lies and how terrible it made me feel about the lie I told, despite him not raising his hand or even his voice. I can’t remember why my mom spanked me and screamed at me most of the time. The only instances I actually remember were completely inappropriate -…

Yeah, I had that test too, ‘cause at 35 I have one ovary in the grave (or something). I was pretty ambivalent about knowing sex before I found out, but now I’m glad I do.

I...had an inverted wedge (the technical name for the Kate Gosselin cut) in the late 90's/early 00's. In my defense, this was before Kate Gosselin was a thing. I wanted hair like T-Boz from TLC! I have never demanded to speak to anyone’s manager ever, I swear!

I just bought boot-cut maternity jeans. 

We have four and it is too much. Three was manageable.

Eh, I could see my MIL buying these at a store, though probably not if they’re only on QVC. It combines two of her favorite things: shoes and Christmas. Middle class white people already buy ugly sweaters that they only bust out once a year for Christmas parties. Why not shoes?

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

I really need someone to loop the failed drop-kick and set it to yakety sax. Please?

My fav part might be this quote from the defense attorney:

Triangle-faced monkey! Ask Drax!

She hasn’t, apparently, but Kumail Nanjiani hosted last year. Still, very low representation.

We might cost-share.

I think so. I’ve been going through a tough time personally on top of the shitburger of a news week. My Magic Cat is already my furry bestie, but she is being extra-special sweet this weekend. 

Woodstock ‘94, maybe? That was the one that got all muddy. ‘99 was the one that wasn’t in Woodstock and the mosh pit ended up on fire. I hope your yard isn’t on fire.

Marzipan looks lovely pre-mud. Our neighbors have asked us to have a tree on our side of the fence taken out... It’s a mulberry and it spews fruit…

Oooo me! me! I’m finally coming to terms with the fact that I suffered extreme childhood emotional neglect from my parents who really should have been divorced loooong before I was born and who probably shouldn’t have procreated - at least with each other. This is all coming to a head now because a) my mother who was…

This makes me sad because I met my husband long-distance online, and he’s the opposite of a con man. Granted, I was fresh out of college at the time and barely had laundry money, do I would have been a terrible mark.
