Psssst! Your friend is not a feminist.

Cookies are joy. I’m trying to figure out why y’all keep murdering joy before it gets a chance to grow up.

I don’t have to worry about what anyone else wants to eat, who needs to pee, kids picking at each other, etc. It is going to be a vacation from my whole…

For your tea emergencies, always remember to carry a thermos of tea. To make sure your thermos does not get confused with others during said emergencies, I recommend getting your thermos monogrammed.

I’m on board with everything but My Best Friend’s Wedding. As much fun as challenging ideas about heterosexual parings could be, Julia Roberts’ character is such an irredeemable asshat that I can’t picture any ending other than her ending up single and with a wakeup call that she needs to work on herself being a happy…
