That’s how we ended up with our Main Dog. She had been adopted by a family who had an 8-week newborn and thought they could handle it. Uhhhh, no. We found her on Petfinder, went to visit her the next day and brought her home with us, all 12-week-old ball of crazy energy! We thought she’d grow out of it but as it turns…

Just because it’s January doesn’t mean you can’t have iced tea! That is my g0-to when I get bored with sparkling water. There are so many different teas out there, you can flavor up without too much trouble AND it looks like booze so some of your more persistent friends (we all have those, right?) will maybe leave you…

Aw, shit. Me too.

I haven’t looked in the hummus case lately (seriously, why so many kinds of hummus, Wegmans?), but that’s where they’d be.

These have been at Wegmans for a few months now, but I’m not sure how well they sell. I have tried the snickerdoodle and the brownie ones and they’re... fine, I guess? Pairing them with fruit creates kind of a traffic jam of flavors but with a slightly sweet cookie like shortbread or a graham cracker, they’re pretty…

I’m with you on the martyr thing, but I still have crossed fingers for a “cerebral event” or similar during a State of the Union. I really just want a face-melting stroke whilst on live television.

I drank my bodyweight in various pilsners during the one day we spent in Prague a couple of years ago. They are so damn delicious!

Right? Everyone’s always like “ooh but Logan!” Noooo, Logan is a rich idiot. At least Jess calls Rory out on her bullshit and worked his ass off to get everything he has. Rory and Logan both had everything basically handed to them!

I’ll allow it. One less thing we have to fight about. Enjoy Luke! I’ll be over here ogling Jess.

Well, you can sing “Because I Could Not Stop For Death” to the Gilligan’s Island theme song.

DUDE. So not at all what I need right now but I’m thinking this might be a PMS-week thing. The only change I think I would make would be different olives or move them to the salad portion because while I love black olives a lot, I’m not sure I want them in the casserole bit. Hmmm.

My husband is about your size and he has completed 2 Ironmans and almost a 3rd (was pulled off the course 6 miles from the finish due to puking and passing out).

Tell me your secrets.

ALWAYS GET THE DUCK FAT FRIES.

The demise of R.E.M. is one of the great sadnesses of my life. I was fortunate to catch them live more than a few times and if they could reunite and go on tour, that would be excellent.

I just wish their beers held up to the awesomeness of their names. So far, I’m a bigger fan of the labels than the actual beer.

When we dine out with my father-in-law, one of us always has $5-$10 (or more, depending) handy to drop on the table after we’re done because he is a cheap-ass bastard and will tip 12% TO THE PENNY, regardless of where we are. It’s usually “oh, whoops, did I drop my mrrffff at the table? Be right back!” Because if he…
