Yes, I do, because at one point when I was in graduate school (I feel your pain) I was in 5 weddings in 2 years. We still all gave gifts, though. I never heard of not giving a gift just because you’re in the bridal party.

Try being a cousin in an Italian family. I loathe the day we start getting married. It’s going to be rough.

You had me at “We made sure the bar was open”. Boom. Perfect!

You didn’t expect a present from your bridesmaids? WTF?!?!

Being in a wedding, at least in the NY metro area, is ALWAYS a financial burden. It’s getting out of hand.

I’m proud of what I do. None of it involves working out.

I had cheese fries with my lunch. I feel fan fucking tastic right now.

High five for telling her to shut the fuck up!

For someone who was preaching HORMONES earlier, you don’t seem to understand post partum depression, or depression at all, for that matter. Depressed? Just move! Oh fuck! WHY DIDN’T ANYONE EVER THINK OF THAT!??!?! Ladies and gents, TightBunsMagillicutty just found the cure for depression.

All kidding aside, you seem…

I’m sorry, but as a teacher, I’m giggling at this...because I could totally understand why it happened. Sorry you had to go through that, but synthesia isn’t normally the first thing that would pop into my head.

One of those hot Russian’s is my student’s uncle. I teach in a very Russian neighborhood of NY, and I do not watch Dancing with the Stars.

Bodies are so irritating. Mine is very disproportionate (I am a classic, extreme pear) so finding jeans that fit both my waist and ass/thighs/hips is like finding water in the desert. Shorts are next to impossible. When I find a pair that fit, I buy about 4.

Congrats on your weight loss. You’re so right about a good…

Agreed wholeheartedly.

On Wednesday, I went to SoulCycle. On the way home, I got a burrito. I regret NOTHING about either one of those decisions.

Honestly, it is fun *ducks for cover and hides*.

Congratulations, you own no Lululemon! *golf claps* As someone with a big butt and thighs, y’all can go take your Lululemon hate and shove it. Those Wunderunder crops are like a bra FOR MY BUTT. Seriously, if I could afford to replace all of my Target non-workout leggings that I bum around in with Lululemon, I would.…

My dad has Narcissitic Personality Disorder. I totally get this, and have been advised by therapists to go no contact (never gonna happen; HUGE Italian family). My father is convinced he is a saint and has managed to re-write history a number of times in his head. It’s impressive! However, Scientology is KNOWN for…

I mean, I teach, so I work with mostly women, but my mother gifts me yearly with an arsenal of Ms. D products (because I spend so much money on my students/classroom supplies and always forget the shit *I* need at the beginning of the year). Included? Tampons, pads, bobby pins, deodorant, advil, exedrine migraine,…

During 9/11, they cut off all of our TVs right after the first plane hit. We were on Long Island, though, and I don’t really hate them for it. To this day, I can’t watch those live news clips without sobbing. They did, however, forget to cut off the internet in the classrooms...

I remember being in 5th grade and having…

And still publishes tons of standalone novels, too! I just got “Masterminds” for my classroom library (yeah, Scholastic points!) and my kids love “Ungifted”.

He’s an active writer. I teach 5th grade in NYC, and I have an entire bin with his books (my students love them). I have my CSE in Literacy, and I completed the program with his wife to finish up my reading teacher certification a couple of years ago. They live on Long Island.
