During high school, I missed one day every month due to horrible cramps. The heating pad was my most prized possession. I definitely feel your pain. Thankfully, BC helped, but now that I have ovarian cysts that can rupture at any time, I'm still a slave to my inconvenient lady parts (they did enable me to birth 3…

My mom bought my 5 year old daughter some wedge sandals for this summer. They're much taller than any wedges I would have gotten her, but my mom gave them to her when she stayed over one night. She wore them home the next and LOVES them. My daughter is pretty clumsy (truth) so she stomps around in them, which is…

Ooh, I may need to get his book. His article after the Zimmerman verdict really affected me. He's a great writer as well as musician :)

I immediately downloaded this song after my kids and I saw them on Yo Gabba Gabba. And I'm not ashamed.

The Roots are the best. Seriously.

We're a growing minority. Soon we will revolt and overthrow the dull, rich, white lady celebrity class!

Now I'm dangerously dehydrated from crying all the tears! Yay, Mick!

Ugh. The only celebrities I actually want to hear are Kristen Bell, Kristen Wiig, and Ellen Page. "Once you meet yourself"? What the ever-loving fuck? A-list stars are dull and dumb.

It's working for Mister PeaceLove and me. We've been together since I was a sophomore in high school. He was a senior. 13 years married, almost 18 years together. It ain't easy, but what is?

Exactly this. She is a gifted child, and she should be encouraged. Several of the gray comments are really disturbing.

I can't find it in my bookmarks, but it was on AllRecipes. And I make my own enchilada sauce. Grrr, I've got to find that recipe.

Thanks so much for the suggestions :)

Just a general lower back pain. For some odd reason child's pose, which used to be the most relaxing for me, hurts me terribly now.

Thanks! Invigorating is just what I need :)

Love black bean tacos or spinach enchiladas. Both are super easy and taste great. Black bean taco filling is 2 cans black beans rinsed, 1 can whole kernel corn, 1 can rotel tomatoes, 1 diced onion, throw in cumin, cilantro, and chipotle spices. Just dump a spoonful in a warm tortilla, top with sour cream and cheese.…

Any yoga peeps out there? I need to get back into a daily routine of meditation and yoga. How do you work it in? Morning or night? What are the best positions for back aches? Maybe I should just buy Yoga for Dummies :)

Thanks :) I'm 33 and the past year I have been scared to death that I'm coming down with lupus. My father had 4 siblings who had the disease, 3 of whom have died. My doctor did blood work last fall and specifically did a panel to look for autoimmune diseases. Everything was clear (thankfully), but that fear is still…

Thanks for sharing. My doctor is willing to change what's not working, which is something I've not had with other doctors. Lexapro did the same thing as Paxil to you. I thought I was really going crazy. And I love all the things you suggested to calm myself, I just have to make myself take that time. As a mother and…

Thanks!

I'm glad you finally got it sorted out. I don't understand how doctors and psychiatrist just prescribe something without making sure that it's even appropriate. Ugh. Is the benzo for anxiety? I have panic attacks, but the Zoloft seems to help that.
