Speaking of Creep covers, here’s a little throwback for you all courtesy of Gawker/Neetzan Zimmerman:

Looking back I’m not sure if this was a subtle dig at my husband or not...

Yup, which might explain the whole frozen asset house buying ordeal last week. Is Tennessee a community property state? Do those two have a prenup (I’m guessing no)?

An MLA or APA handbook is a great idea! Thank you! I remember getting a small tote filled with office items like a stapler, a three-hole punch, clips, tacks, Post-It notes, etc. I still have some of that stuff 20+ years later.

Two of my kids are going to my alma mater, so their getting PDX specific treats in addition to insider knowledge since I also used to work for the university. For the rest of them, I’m waiting to hear from their moms to find out what they need. They were my students my first year of teaching, so they’re my babies for…

This is why I love my small town:

One of our local parents started a Facebook page where we can all adopt a class of ‘20 senior to get them treats for fun or to get them ready for life post high school. I may have already adopted a few of my former 7th grade babies.

Are we thinking quirky neighbor buddy comedy?

Oh, wild speculation time, maybe she’ll move back to CA and hook up with Brody Jenner for real. They’ll, of course, get their own The Hills spin-off. Now I just need a title...

Thank you! I was hoping that someone was going to pour one out for this long lost opportunity.

Wow. Now that’s one where you’d think they would have thought about that when setting a budget for a holiday party.

Were the cookies good, though?

Thanks for the nightmares, Grenade. I already have a phobias about bats in my hair from summers spent in Minnesota and getting my ponytail caught in a zip line due to a terrible viral video from pre-YouTube days. Now I have to think about rats, too.

Oh, that’s nasty. It’s faux pas like this that make me wish home ec. was still a thing.

It’s okay when it’s in the comfort of your own home.

A million years ago, back in my former life as a server, I worked for Japanese sushi and seafood buffet. I told a few stories about it back in the days of monogrammed thermoses, like the pastor who tipped 3 candy canes on a $300+ tab on Christmas Eve (I’m still bitter about that one 15 years later).

Yes! Oregonian here - Sabrina is the shit! Even if basketball is not your thing, you should check out her stats. She is a phenomenal player, and quite humble in her interviews. She will definitely be missed at Oregon next year.

I have truly been fortunate in the neighbor department from living in the dorms to now. I do, however, have two weird little neighbor quirks in my current neighborhood.

Next Door Neighbors: The husband cuts his toenails on the front steps in front of God and everyone else on the street. We’re talking in the middle of…

Go! It’s so worth it. I’ve been to Yellowstone around 20 times now (it’s near family). We do Old Faithful almost every trip, but it’s nice to get off of the road to see some of the seldom seen sights. If you’re a hiker, check out the Falcon hiking guides for the area. They’re pretty spot on for what to expect.

As someone who has been to Yellowstone approximately 20 times, I can confirm that bison (and all of the wildlife) are not to be trifled with. About a decade ago, my husband and I were hiking near Yellowstone Lake, and we encountered 3 bison in the trees. One started stamping its foot and edging toward us. That was…

I’m with you, although years and years ago I was taught via the ISU volleyball camp people how to shave my callouses with a razor blade. I haven’t done it in years, but I do remember it being very satisfying.
