I think different families celebrate in different ways. My family celebrates all the mothers in the family on Mother's Day. My mom sent cards to her grandchildren's mothers and to my dad's mother—even though they aren't her mom. I bought flowers for my mom. My dad also bought flowers for my mom. I'll call my…

The problem with the ugly sister, pretty sister dynamic is not just that it's so pervasive—but it's so untrue too. I know a lot of people have commented on this before me...but with a sister barely a year younger than me, I was surprised to learn that, as kids, we both thought the other one was the pretty one, the…

This girl will have to live with this for the rest of her life. Where were the boys' parents?

But she's wearing the same necklace two days in a row. Celebrities repeating anything is BAD news, right? The economy's doomed.

You're asking a good question.

You don't get married in the abstract. Thank you Condee!!—-that explains my singledom completely.

@themonkeysknow: I have an English Bulldog — he needs walking — but he's worn out before we reach the end of the block.

Kinect! My brother got one for Christmas — therefore, my workout plan for 2011 is to visit him often.

Drunk on a cruise ship with a bunch of coworkers who had never seen me drink before ... it's a story they still tell ... I got so sloshed that I couldn't taste the alcohol anymore and switched from mojitos to straight rum.

Shoot, I can tell you, working in my rock quarry (office cubicle), I feel like I have to be "on" most of the time too ... and for a whole lot less money and glamour. Yes, no one follows me home, but I think I'd like to try being royal for a day or two.

@archaeo_girl: quesadillas!

What is Arizona eating? I can only speak for one Arizonan right now ... but I'm living off candy canes.

"However big or small" she's been? ... Carey Mulligan is still small and the fact that she could even imply that she's ever been big ... I don't know ... maybe she's not saying that she was ever big. It just kills me when someone who is still very thin says "however big I've been" as if they've been big. I used to…

@euterpe35: I guess enjoying it could be a sign of avoidance too. Who knows?

I am totally avoidant—which has been a major problem more than once and probably explains why I'm still single (not that I'm complaining—becasuse I'm not) at 35.

Gorgeous

I used to feel guilty about all sorts of things ... but I really can't remember the last time. Have I turned into a man?

No wonder there are so many holiday break-ups! It's not the emotional stress. It's the weight gain.

@Michael Bauser: Cry for help is an understatement.

I could see my brother doing this. He has used facebook to announce that his wife doesn't want sex when he does, to complain that he's depressed and thinking of suicide, and to basically share all kinds of things that just seem wildly inappropriate to me.
