I have seriously been considering getting married first and then having a ‘fake’ ceremony for family and friends to come to. I’m glad to hear it worked out for you!

Thank you for the tip about not getting a raw space - I hadn’t really thought much about that before but that is definitely something I wouldn’t want to deal with.

Yeah I think I am worried about having a full-out panic attack right before the ceremony. This is why we have decided the traditional ‘can’t see each other before the wedding’ thing isn’t for us. If I am going to freak out he is the only person I want there with me.

Yeah, that’s kind of what I thought. I guess we have to start planning then!

I got engaged a couple weeks ago (!!) and I’m super pumped, but also I have no idea how to plan a wedding. Anyone have any helpful tips and advice for making the planning go as smoothly and stress-free as possible? (Like, how far out do you need to book a venue, send out save-the-dates, invitations, etc.?) I really…

On NPR this afternoon they were talking about this and how testing testosterone levels is not necessary at all, nor have other candidates done it. So yeah I’m getting that impression as well.

Thanks! I know I need to just push myself to do it. Maybe I’ll ask a friend to come with so it forces me to actually go, instead of wimping out.

I came down with a cold yesterday and I pretty much have been on the couch for the past 12 hours, marathoning the Harry Potter movies. I feel really antsy, like I want to get up and do something, but I lack the energy to do anything more than make myself tea.

I have been considering hot yoga for a while now. So I take it you’d recommend it, then? There is a studio near my apartment that I really like, but they only do hot yoga and I’ve been apprehensive about going, mainly because of the heat. I feel like I’m overthinking it, because I’ve gone for runs in ninety-degree…

Botox is the only thing that has helped my sweating. Maybe getting Botox for that isn't a medical necessity, but it sure improved my life a lot.

Sooo does anyone know when the full season will be up on Hulu? I am dying to watch this season after reading all of these recaps.

Yeah I think she looks great considering that the photo is a still from a video she posted, apologizing for cancelling a concert because she's sick. I wish I looked like that when I was sick!

Same. I actually will go out of my way to find out the way movies, books, or tv shows will end, but not with this. I draw the line at any and all Harry Potter-related things.

In my mind I have been saying curs-ed because I think it sounds better, but that’s just me. And I really know nothing. I’ve been curious about this though, too.

Can I ask what you did to make your catio? Is yours an enclosed space so she cannot escape? I would like to bring my cat on our balcony because he meows like crazy whenever we sit out there, and also because in our apartment we don’t have the sun filtering in where he could sit and bask in it. But, he’s super curious…

Lots of geese like to hang out around the trail I run on, and I get so freaked out every time I come across a pack of them. They always hiss and I’m terrified of them coming after me. Screw the lot of them.

I do! A lot, actually.

I got mine from West Elm, and I like it a lot.

My family is all from Illinois so that is where my dislike of the Packers originally stems, but living here for so long and dealing with the fans for so long has done nothing to warm me to them/the team. And yes, I loved when the Bears won that game! Everyone around here was sooo sure of the Packers going into that.

I haven’t seen the episode either, but Briana has had issues with her thyroid (I think?) and tumors for a long time. So I’m guessing it’s that?
