She said something to Guiliana about how she designed the dress with a stylist out of clothes in her closet.

Re/Dress teggings. They come in all sorts of colors and lengths.

I usually get the flu vaccine and I got mine really late last year - about now, actually.

Eh, I love Idina, but she's blown the high notes at several high-profile gigs including "Defying Gravity" at the Tony's and "Let It Go" at the Oscars and now here.

My friend lost over 100 pounds on Weight Watchers. It's great but sometimes I feel like it's all she ever thinks about, you know? That notebook where she counts every point and every morsel.

I also have loaded up my Kindle. It's really just the take-off with me. Once I'm leveled off, I'm OK. I make my stranger seatmate hold my hand. I'm usually crying.

Still would have been a better gift than the luggage scale (Again.)

The irony of this gift is that I hate, hate, hate flying. In fact, when I received this gift last year, I hadn't gotten on a plane in a decade. I'm actually flying tomorrow and I'm terrified. But, uh, at least my luggage is the right weight?

well, that is something you wouldn't get yourself!

This is so frustrating. I took make lists and have an Amazon wishlist, and instead family members get me things I can't use and can't return. I really could have used some wool socks and a neck gaiter this year. Instead I got some weird phone charger and a luggage scale.

what kind of socks have an elastized arch? Please tell!

Nah, I actually am one of them and agree with you. I tried gluten free simply because I was feeling so shitty and my doctor suggested it. I had to cook a lot more and pay attention to ingredients.

I spend most of my NYE alone now, and honestly, it's awesome. One year I went to a Meet Up, and that was fine. One year I went to Kripalu, a yoga retreat, and that was amazing.

Fluffy, you so often say exactly what I think. But better.

even worse - she gave Jenny McCarthy a massive anti-vaccine platform with little or NO opposition.

I was just about to say ... it's too bad The Bloggess is already taken, because this is definitely her soulmate.

not to be that girl, but call the pharmacy. They will have a list of drug interactions. I'd rather be sure, you know?

I ditto this. People sent us stuff all the time. If was expensive - someone sent a $$$ coffee machine - it got returned. Unless we were using it for a specific story, it went into the donation closet. We either had an auction for the stuff or donated it all to shelters. But we were absolutely not allowed to accept…

When I had whooping cough I lived in the hot shower. It helped loosen all that shit up. I also got one of those microwaveable pillows and would put that on my chest at night.

I'm so glad you're home safe. Please, please take care of yourself. What kind of things did they tell you to do to help heal your lungs?
