You should maybe re-try it. Ask a Jezzie to walk you through how to use it. I find it really useful for remembering things, and use it for recipes, gift ideas, organizing, travel, and my classroom, plus for lots of other categories as well. It's also a great source of Tom Hiddleston pictures, so it's worth it right…

My husband and teenage sons all identify as feminists. I know plenty of men who do.

Day 3 might mean you're having rebound headaches from the imitrex, so maybe it's time to try massive doses of Aleve to bring down the inflammation. Once on vacation, on day 7 with migraines, I called my neurologist, and she said I should start taking two Aleve, four times a day. It was great to wake up the next…

I took five months off, and when I went back to teaching, my husband stayed home for three months. That got us to summer, so I was off again and the baby didn't start daycare until 11 months. This was the greatest thing we could have done. During his leave, he got up at night with the crying baby. He did everything,…

Me too! I'm disappointed.

When I was 22 and hosted my first brunch, everyone was a hour late. I was beside myself with stress. Finally I put on Sinead O'Connor's "This is the Last Day of Our Acquaintance" and when that amazing drum solo came on on the middle of the song I rocked out and got out my aggression. I was able to be civil when they…

Thor! Deep sigh. I loved both movies. I just love me some Chris Hemsworth.

I love a Knight's Tale. I hope it helped you feel better. I went out to see Inside Llewyn Davis, and it was a boring, pointless disappointment.

The chicken becomes fall-apart-on-your-fork tender. It could use more herbs for flavor, I think. You'll have to experiment with it.

I'm with you there! Most people have no idea what a migraine really feels like. Mine are bad in that they happen way too often (I had up to 21 days a month with migraines until I started getting botox shots), but not quite bad enough that I have to go to bed for days. I know a lot of people have them worse than I…

That's awful. We are both babies about sleep — we need it desperately — so when we had actual babies in the house we were really fair about taking turns so we could both get a break.

Mr. Berkowitz is the opposite; he's very stiff-upper-lip when he's sick, which doesn't happen often at all, and he doesn't need me to do anything for him. Which pisses me off because I want to model for him how a caring spouse takes care of their partner when they are sick. Yes, I get sick way more often than he…

Hey, let me know if you want the recipe!

There is much about Pinterest that is silly, and some of what's there is unhealthy, but Pinterest is also great as a virtual bulletin board. I love it that I don't have to waste time trying to make organized binders with all the articles I've torn from magazines (I never did make those binders; they ended up being a…

Yes! Graceling is great, with a really kickass female main character, and Bitterblue was the best book I read that whole year. It was a deep, complex look at learning how to rule a country where almost everyone, from peasant to top royal advisor, is suffering from PTSD after the things that happen in Graceling. I…

I don't have a single shirt with a Peter Pan collar, and that is a big hole in my life. Where can I find one?!

It's a useful source of crockpot information. I have one, and want to use it more often, to simplify my life. I found a good chicken Parmesan recipe that's way better than my mother-in-law's, so that felt like a little win to me. I love Pinterest, even as I see its ridiculous aspects.

Mr. Berkowitz was a redhead as a baby. I love his...carpet.

The Uggs Brooks boot is incredible. I've had mine for ten years, wear them every day in the cold snowy north, and they are warm, comfortable, and not ugly. (Regular Uggs, ugh. These have a log sole and are leather at the foot.).
