I think it depends on your parish. I grew up going to a flip-flop accepting church. A few years back I went to my niece’s first communion at an old school Italian Catholic parish and a few people gave me attitude because I was wearing pants. Needless to say I now make absolutely sure to wear pants whenever I am forced…

Men dominated the legging game for many  centuries when they were called hose. Now its women’s turn to wrap ourselves in comfort. 

As mom to a wonderful little boy who has autism, most parents I encounter are trying their best and there is usually a real sense of community between us.

This story proves, without a shadow of a doubt, the futility of arguing with hardcore anti-vaxxers. If almost losing a child, something I fear much more than dying myself, isn’t enough to shake these people, nothing will. Bet the medical staff treating this poor child had to restrain themselves.

It’s one of the few brands with decently thick material that holds up to washing. 

I even have some residual love for the baddies...this season gonna hurt

And Trump’s magical knack of choosing the absolute worst person for every position continues unabated...

“I just look at legal”

At this point I am looking more forward to my semi-annual Thrones première party than the actual show. 

Hannah and Cassie look virtually identical so she’s got that going for her. 

I usually don’t watch the Bachelor because of contact embarrassment, but that bit was too good to miss. Although I’m now pondering why watching a virgin get his heart broken and jumping over a fence gave me such visceral pleasure...

Grilled cheese is one of the few foods that’s delicious for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

A stranger touching her food started Katy Perry’s relationship? If someone touches my food without permission they are dead to me, no matter their relative hotness level. 

I just so happened to watch the Gridiron Dinner episode of Veep the other day. I think politicians singing riffs from the headlines must have been much more pleasant when the headlines weren’t TERRIFYING. 

I am just learning this information and it is a deeply weird coupling for some reason. 

That hilarious goddess is with that guy??? Why??

Loved original Queen, also love Adam Lambert. Don’t necessarily love the two of them together, but whatever, there are bigger dragons to slay. 

My (purely anecdotal) Pros of being an older momma: patience, established career, wisdom.

Lol, if you see an uptick in my Jez commenting of late, it’s because all my colleagues are relentlessly talking about Keto diets and CrossFit and I’m forced to escape to the internets to escape my boredom. 

Convents COULD be relatively pleasant places in the Middle Ages, but like today, the richer more liberal convents tended to cater to the wealthy.
