I was actually going with Mars after the candy bar.

I am currently obsessed with Mars for a name. I told my husband he had to consider it, so he hasn’t said “no” yet but he still prefers Jack. Am I crazy with that name?

lololol i had to select that one because it was just so true.

When I can separate it from the sea witch, I rather love the name. I was thinking of Ursa as a middle name, but I can’t even separate that from the sea witch so personally I wouldn’t choose it. But it is lovely!

My dad’s a teacher, and he doesn’t get end-of-year gifts as commonly as christmas gifts. I always got christmas gifts for my teachers growing up, but it was always lame like an ornament or something... my dad gets the coolest shit, including alcohol.

I teared up and choked a bit reading my vows, but didn’t sob or have rolling tears (thank god; i cry like claire danes). Here’s a pretty cute shot of my MOH slipping me a hankie.

Hell yeah Sly. Fellow Kansas Citian here.

My supervisor doesn’t even know what the maternity leave policy is. She asked me the other day.

My name is Lydia and people call me Linda. Like, in a reply email, which I signed “Lydia,” it will say “Thanks Linda!” ...

My employer is also suspiciously secretive about maternity leave. Everything I know, I know from asking other women who have taken maternity leave. The first time I was pregnant (I miscarried), I told HR immediately and they basically said “come back to us when you’re six months along and we’ll tell you the details…

She was six months pregnant at the time of the incident. She’s probably further along now.

My current dog picks the red spheres out of her kibble.

Where I live, $50/hr is pretty standard for commercial modeling gigs. For adults, anyway. Are you suggesting a kid should be paid more than an adult?

yep. i really enjoyed the first season! ...and stuck with the second for some reason! but it got truly awful. i was a few episodes in to season three before i realized i just had to stop.

Refusing to pay child support doesn’t land everybody in jail. Off the top of my head I can count five men I know personally who do not pay child support and are not in jail.

How do you say it? Baggle? Or Baygle?

Rural Juror?

Ha! Not that I know of... though he has been traveling for work a lot more lately...

It’s especially shocking because he is otherwise quite intelligent, and is quite politically savvy so when the word comes up it’s so out of left field I don’t even know how to even anymore.
