When I make stroganoff, I just skip the mushrooms. I haven't gotten arrested yet. At least not for that anyway.

I watch it about once a year. :-)

Fistbump.

I'm sorry you're feeling so alone. What moves you? What do you really LOVE? If there isn't any club or organization around what you love, find one that could at least interest you and join up! Or try something you've never tried. College is about expanding your horizons. It should be a fun time, in addition to…

One of my all-time favorite old movies is "The Best Years of Our Lives." It's regarded as the first accurate portrayal of what WWII vets faced when returning home. I imagine it's on the list, but I've never checked.

omg Tumnus (Sunmut for short)

hahaha that might be better than what I secretly call him in my head. He's a good enough kid but pretty prissy, so my nickname for him is Fauntleroy. Hey, was that on this Hipster list?? If not, why not? Maybe Yoreltnuaf!

OMG THE PRECIOUS SPELLINGS. You're setting your kid up for a lifetime of having to correct people. Even my bf, his ex-wife is a Brit and they named their son Iain. Most people here in the States have never seen it that way, and don't know it's just "Ian." Um, newsflash, he was born in Baltimore, not London. We…

omg I know a couple with a girl named Neveah (Heaven backwards, obvs) and a boy named Trebor (Robert backwards)!

I'm glad you're safe now. I'm sorry you went through that.

Great recipe, I love apple crumble. However, I have a complaint. This past week I made your mac and cheese recipe (yes, all three pounds of it). But you said there would be leftovers to freeze, and there weren't! The kids mowed through that stuff like hungry orphans.

Baby steps, and on to the next!

OK now you're getting a bit scary. 64 cent bodywash?? Extreme!

Repeat after me:

LOL okay you've won me over. I won't need to shop this week because in addition to the 3 aforementioned stores, a 4th store that is not part of the regular rotation had their "ONE DAY MEAT SALE" this past Thursday, so all I'll need to get this week is milk and bread. Oh, and crunchy peanut butter because the kids…

You're probably a lot younger than me....I've outgrown that bullshit now. That chick obviously has some self-esteem issues and doesn't realize that she's worthy of respect, which is really sad. But, if you got with someone like that, you'd have to be the "fixer," and try to get them past whatever baggage they're…

I really should do coupons. Lazy. And no excuse, I'm unemployed right now. I've been looking through Flylady and Hints from Heloise and have made my own household cleaners. I'll admit that I feel a bit buggy about it all, but I try to view it as a challenge as to how to manage our budget without too awful much…

Keep in mind too that lots of times, people inadvertently give themselves away, too. For example, if I report the neighbor, she might come to me and say "I KNOW YOU CALLED, THEY TOLD ME!" and then my face or reaction gives it away, but really CPS didn't tell. You're doing the right thing for this kiddo. :-)

Ha!! There are 3 grocery stores that are within a tolerable distance of each other. Every week, I look through the sales flyers and decide what I want to get from each one (who has the best deals, etc.) So I go to three stores, but last week I filled the whole back of the suv with groceries (including lots of…
