At one point, she asked if he would consider quitting his job to be a stay-at-home father given how much he wanted a baby. "That just wasn't the plan he had in mind," she said.

I adore Bessie Smith and can't wait to see this. She was really some kind of woman. Here is a great excerpt from her biography, "Bessie," by Chris Albertson, that describes an incident at a party that Bessie went to with her niece Ruby Walker (whose account of the incident follows) and three other women after her…

I have a son with autism. Believe me, I've wondered why they can chip my cats & dog but can't place a chip between my kid's shoulders too. It seems drastic until the kid decides to elope from school one day and you're on the phone with 911 etc crying because no one can find the little monster.

I thought I lost my wallet once. Spent half the day retracing my steps and then the next week replacing credit cards, debit cards, etc.

Good Eats with Alton Brown kind of does that for me. I've never liked to cook—it's just not that interesting or fun to me. It still isn't, but Good Eats appeals to the nerd in me, and I see how cooking can be like a science experiment. Plus, the recipes aren't these big spectacles. Just like, "This is a chicken. This…

Cooking frequently from scratch is related to a higher BMI? I'm very surprised by that. I feel like no matter how fattening it seems like I'm cooking at home, it's nothing compared to what they're doing at restaurants.

STUDIES SHOW THAT WOMEN WHO EAT FOOD ARE FATTER THAN WOMEN WHO DO NOT EAT FOOD

I've just had a public mental breakdown over a spreadsheet and yesterday I got stuck in a new shirt and had to cut myself out of it.

How can I care about your driver's license when I can't find my glasses. Where are my glasses? You expect me to put my contacts in every day?

For me, it's looking back at who I've loved previously. H-O-L-Y-S-H-I-T am I happy none of that worked out.

dear michelle,

I beg to differ.
