I would have done this back in high school/college when my relationship to food was...unhealthy.

OK, that makes sense. Because I was looking at a jar last night of like, carrots and peas that was 60 or 70 calories in the tiny jar and thinking I could probably eat way more actual carrots and peas before hitting 60 calories. But that’s the processed stuff sold in stores and also I think I was focusing way too much…

I’m so confused about the baby food thing. For A, when I was feeding my kid baby food I was always surprised that much of it is tiny servings with lots of calories (which makes sense because they are growing and need calories, but have tiny little stomachs) so what would happen if I were to try to do this is that I…

My grandmother was very particular about food, and she would send stuff back multiple times. But even she never sent anything back more than twice (if it wasn’t right the second time she’d just order something else or make do with sides and bread), and she always acknowledged that in general it was her, not them, she…

How is that only 2 dollar signs? Even in LA I would think $6 for a side of lettuce would at least be 3 dollar signs.

I have a very visceral reaction to being touched. I once had an altercation with a woman at a restaurant who needed to get past me, and instead of saying “Excuse me” she put her hand on my lower back and moved me out of her way. I am about as confrontational as a sponge, so my friends were pretty shocked when I very…

I thought about it for a minute because I like some of the designs, but then I realized there’s no way I would actually be able to use it because I’m sure it has to be trimmed down and probably painted over to keep it on or whatever. I don’t know. Seems like it would be more trouble in the end.

I know someone selling this. The after shots drive me crazy. Like, these were clearly taken at different times of day, in different lighting, possibly with filters, and you are clearly wearing makeup. I’m not giving you hundreds of dollars for this!

So, right now I actively have people trying to sell me LulaRoe (3 people), Jamberry (1), Rodan and Fields (this appears to be somewhat price-y skincare -1), Thrive (this is of the unnecessary supplement variety - 1), Stella and Dot, and Mary and Martha (it’s Christian-y...stuff?).

My mom went through a phase where she bought me a lot of pastel green stuff to wear. I hadn’t realized how literal “olive” was in describing my skin tone until I realized that I actually looked green in that color and that it was not a good look. I can do the occasional light blue or purple, but that’s about it.

Yeah, we’ve had to talk about this, too. Because on the one hand, no one wants to be constantly criticized and if you feel you never do anything right you are likely to quit. On the other hand, criticism is sometimes valid and how we learn and I shouldn’t have to sugar coat things like, “The car seat is installed…

I have olive skin, and it looks terrible on me. It might be better on darker olive skin? I don’t know. But it definitely makes me look ill.

I was surprised at how very, very hard this was to do at first. But we’ve also talked about how he can actually speak up and not just stop stepping up. Like, sometimes he’ll mention that I have a tendency to just step in and do stuff even if he’s in the middle of it and it makes him just want to stop doing it. And I’m…

This is an excellent corollary.

Mostly I only get annoyed that it’s often referred to as universally flattering, and it looks terrible on me.

I thought the millennial signifier was weird, but not so weird that it ever occurred to me this would be about anything other than P!nk in a Twitter feud or something.

#2. #2 might need to be repeated. My husband seemed to believe that I just came equipped with the knowledge of how to feed/bathe/care for the kid. I was very quick to tell him that there is no special knowledge that I just came pre-packaged with. I Googled that shit or read books or asked my mom, asked his mom, asked…

FWIW, I don’t think you sound like a bitch when you say so (not that I know you or have heard you say it, but asking not to be touched in an area that should be recognized as a no trespassing zone regardless of intention does not make you the bad person here).

Can you wear one pair all day? Do you have to change undies throughout the day? I’m not wanting to be gross and get up in your business, but I’m interested in these while also not trusting that they will be absorbent enough. If I have to change underwear as frequently as a tampon, I’ll just stick with the pain in the…

I don’t know, my 18 month old likes Bruno Mars. I’m not saying she’s a fan, like she’s going out buying albums or going to concerts or deeply analyzing the lyrics or the music or whatever, but she claps and dances and squeals anytime just about any Bruno Mars song comes on. I don’t think it’s a stretch to imagine a 2…
