Plummer GIF Party!!

Vampire Bill and Carrie Underwood will NEVER reach this level of sexual tension:

I really did go into this story with 'idiot is idiot, no need to get upset'. But sometimes the idiot is SO offensive that there is no amount of emotional preparation that can dull the white hot flaming rage of terrible fury and great destruction.

I misunderstood the assignment.

My best friends mom is a conference planner from another city, and she happened to plan one in Chicago. She got all these vouchers to try different hotels for the conference, and gave the leftovers to me and my best friend.

I designed our old place in the city and I had them put the huuuuge two person jaccuzi tub outside of the bathroom, right smack in our bedroom. It was like being on vacation every day. I cried when we moved out and the fuddy duddys who bought from us moved the bathroom wall so that gorgeous tub was back in the…

I was just watching a documentary on the chimpanzee. I enjoyed watching the part where mumma chimpanzee put the placenta in a waterproof bag and then blogged about it. AHH NATURE.

I find it oddly effective to have a completely unachievable dream plan to distract me from the hum drum when I am in a super rut. Hence the existence of my "One day I am quitting my life and moving to the British Isles" Pinterest page. That kind of stuff keeps my brain amused, and at least a tiny bit hopeful, as the…

I'm sorry to hear about that! Last year I was in a terrible rut and I ended up visiting a therapist. The best thing she had me do was make sure to do at least one happy thing every day. I was supposed to plan them so I had something to look forward to. Suggested activities on the sheet she gave me (she took a…

*Hugs*. The thing that usually works for me (I've been in many a rut!) is doing just one little new thing at a time, and trying really hard to focus on small pieces of progress rather than fantasizing about the major end result. By that I mean, you're dreaming of being out of debt, so just be proud of each small…

BUT THIS ONE HAS PEOPLE OF COLOR THO. And seemingly a few white knights to make it all ok. But thats normal for period dramas.

It's f*%@n' hockey people. Not golf. They scrap. And these "ladies" have the stuff for a good ol' hockey brawl. Heavens. What is this? "Ladies" can't scrap on the ice because they're "ladies". They're hockey players first and ladies some where else down the line. Also, Team Canada is boss. They win shit. Not like the…

I love Martha. While the overall lifestyle is bonkers, it is easy to take bits and pieces. I have never followed a recipe that didn't turn out delicious and thanks to her tips, my cakes never ever break when I take them out of the pan. Also, I cannot express my love for the Halloween edition enough. Thanks Martha!

When they cancelled the full print version of Everyday Food, I practically grieved. I just discovered yesterday that her website was redesigned, for mobile at least, and there went my free time for at least a week.

Oh god, the Halloween editions with Martha in costume on the cover are the BEST

My favorite part is the "calendar" at the front of her magazine. Because of COURSE she's mulching all the bulb beds on the west lawn on the 12th. And airing all the linen closets on the 15th.

I have two of her Christmas books, and dear god do I love them. Every year after Thanksgiving, I dust them off and look at all the lovely holiday dishes and decorations I'll never make.

When I lived in the States, I was very close to where both my parents lived, so I'd probably visit them both on both days.

I do both holidays when my schedule allows for it, which has been once in the last 6 years. My parents came to me for this past Thanksgiving, which I am so thankful for. My dad passed away not long after and it was the last holiday I had with him when he was mostly himself. By Christmas, he was bedridden and couldn't…

You do "go home" if you don't work retail.

If you do work retail? You bargain, but end up spending the holiday alone with your cat. NOT THAT I WOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS.
