I thought the same exact thing!

Taylor Swift’s tweet is like one of those passive aggressive facebook posts that is ambiguous to everyone except the person you’re posting it for.

I go to bed around 9:30/10pm and wake up around 5:30. That’s about 7.5-8 hours of sleep.

Ha! Well when work is busy, your wedding is in the summer and your husband is being sent away for 3 months afterward thanks to being in the military, sometimes there isn’t a choice. I’d love to have that sort of flexibility to take vacations during non-peak seasons!

We went in July, got in line for David, but decided we didn’t want to wait 3 hours. We also tried to get tickets to the Uffizi to avoid the lines, but they were always sold out. Lines, lines, everywhere. Rome had lines, but it was much easier to do whatever you needed to do on the fly to avoid them. We could wake up…

I thought Florence was beautiful, but I think maybe it was poorly timed and we should have gone to Florence before Rome. My husband and I are a bit more active and get bored easily (ok, so maybe me more so than my husband), so we really enjoyed the energy in Rome. After go-go-going there, we got to Florence and it…

If I made less than $40,000 a year, it would be a big consideration to leave my job vs. pay for childcare or a nanny. However, I make more money than that, and even paying for childcare or a nanny, I still can contribute to the household income while also holding down a career. Plus, I will be building my 401K and…

I’m curious why you liked Florence better. I’m wondering if it’s a personality thing? How long were you there and what did you actually do IN the city of Florence.

When my husband and I were planning our trip to Italy, everyone said spend most of our time in Florence. We took their advice and cut down our time in Rome to spend more time in Florence, and we were really disappointed. Rome is amazing with so much to see and do, and Florence was a huge let down. Yeah, it’s great for…

Years ago, I decided to become an AM exerciser. I found that the end of the work day relief was non existent at the thought of having to sit in traffic, go to a crowded gym, fight people for a treadmill, finally make it home famished only to have to take the dog out and cook dinner. It was way too stressful and didn’t…

I’ve had servers not directly say “fuck no!” but gently guide me toward ordering something else. For example, “Are the cookies good?” “Eh, they aren’t my favorite. Our brownies are amazing though!”

The good news is Huckabee will never be president and instead is just wasting his and his fundy doners’ money. Jokes on them.

I was following along until you compared open range cow farms to slavery. Then you kind of lost me.

Hey great point, but I wasn’t saying it should be illegal because it’s not empowering. Heck, I wasn’t even saying definitively that it should be illegal. I worry about it’s affect on human traffiking, that’s all. I was replying to someone who was talking about Amsterdam and was sharing my experience there. It’s like…

I also went to Amsterdam back in 2005, and the Red Light District didn’t exactly give me an empowered women’s sexuality feeling. It was so depressing. Girls just sitting in a window staring out with blank expressions as men walk by drinking their beer and gorging pizza laughing and joking at what they see in the…

Because a sex worker from NOLA knows what it’s like to be a sex worker that is part of trafficking in Eastern Europe? I’m not sitting here rattling off my opinion. I’m just encouraging people to look more into the research on sex trafficking and how policy decisions can help or hinder it. I’m not going to shut the…

I'm not an idiot. There are plenty of studies and research out there. I even noted that the consensus is heavily debated. You're taking your anger out on the messenger here.

Thanks for pointing that out. To me that’s even worse. I’m not a celebrity though, so no one cares about my opinion. :)

I would caution that anyone who wants to jump on the legalized prostitution wagon after hearing this to research the impact on legalizing prostitution on human trafficking. You may think something legal is easier to regulate, but it really seems to provide a market where the storefront can be legal and what flows…

Her rear is so photoshopped it looks like an oil painting.
