I named my daughter Jaden before it was ever popular and certainly before the -ayden - variations. Now I keep hearing people rip it up and I'm worried she'll have hurt feelings. Few people are able to spell her name without inserting that 'y'.

I asked my 7th grade son since he's read all the books you've listed. He said The Kane Chronicles because, "It's like Percy Jackson, only Egyptian." He said it was his favorite series. Hope that helps.

This just released about 10,000 pounds of stress from my chest. Thanks for the smile.

Days late on this, but you've encapsulated my feelings so well that I had to say, "Hearted!" Now, back to my MEH mood...

This is about where I am, Chritter. Family coming in and I was really excited. Then the hormones, well, they shifted, and I just want to sit on the couch with some snacks and a cup of leave me the hell alone. :) But it will pass. How be you?

But it gave your fiance to prove he's the awesome guy you thought he was.

Daily-life you could start by rockin' them around the house and feeling awesome?

I'm only up to episode five and have liked it but am looking forward to more after reading your comment. I didn't want it to go all Nip/Tuck and just use shock for shock's sake. Sometimes I have to laugh: How 'bout we don't answer that doorbell this time?

Well, there ya go! :)

I bought a truck and have descended into "Ohmygosh Christmas is coming I can never buy anything again" mode and you show me this. MONTHS have passed with little more than a 'meh' towards any jacket. Now? I want. (Enjoy!!)

I'll get him...he's in the shower. Hold on a sec.

Underwear! The only time I use the word 'panties' is when referencing my 12 year old son's underwear ("I did laundry so you have fresh panties!"). I enjoy doing that.

Exactly! It's birth, not death. I have three kids and still do a lot with more to come. Strap the kid on and go. (Besides, they grow up so fast you wonder why you spent three months picking out a freaking exer-saucer.)

No hard feelings and I hearted you! Writing all I did actually helped me process the frustration that image brought out in me. I thank you for letting me talk. :) It's great to know there are people who truly understand.

I knew I worded everything poorly. The picture upset me greatly and brought back too many bad memories, which I then connected to how this still affects me to this day. I felt the picture is harmful in that it is triggering, but also, it's harmful to diminish EDs to one shocking photo. I mean, using the photo to…

While I get the sentiment, I agree about the picture. And when I think about it, it's not just the skeletal form that results from an ED. I know for myself it was also about isolating...something that has consequences all these years into my recovery. The photo upsets me, but in no small part due to the…

Definitely! This year we're going with Chicken Cacciatore for the main dish, so I say do whatever makes you happy.

I just said as much to my husband. :)

Haaa! You had me at, "my husband is a lawyer." Yes, yes, yes. This makes me feel so much better. Also, my youngest is only seven, but I miss that time of having one on the way. Enjoy!!

With someone like her, make sure she doesn't paint OVER the wallpaper.
