Well, it was a combination of the Post laying off 350 people from the newsroom and the end of a relationship so sour we needed a country between us. Then my grandparents died, so no visiting them, and my sister just moved back to be near my mom when she got pregnant. I'm devastated. I depend on that winter warmth for…

I’ve been mourning/reminiscingmy Palm Beach life, and this is not helping! I want to be driving over the South bridge too! And wearing a miniskirt to see the Christmas lights at city place! Why did I ever leave!?

They smell so good to me, I could huff the top of those chubby heads like cheap paint.

Used to work there. It's fine. If you have the tags, bring them with. If not, your receipt or Anthro card will be fine. It'll even be fine if you have none of that, as long as you are friendly.

My baby nephew was born Monday, and I'm so sad I have to wait to meet him! They've been sending lots of pictures, but I can't wait to hold him and smell his downy little head. Sometimes I love living off in my own corner of the country, and other times I desperately want to be near family.

My new boss is a horrible witch. She pointedly ignores me, except to occasionally tell me I've done something stupid. I had been doing a task that our upper management complimented me on, and immediately after hearing them say they liked what I was doing, she told me I wasn't allowed to do that task anymore. She's…

Earlier this year, I bit into a glove that had been baked into some cornbread I ordered (at a high-end seafood restaurant), so I'm for this, wholeheartedly. To be honest, I think it actually was most likely a finger condom, and people with cuts will probably continue to wear those. But! I'd rather have food…

I'm about 5 weeks out from the same situation, and it does start to feel like you know what's up!

It’s a gray, rainy day here in Seattle, surprise, surprise. Here’s my question of the week: How did you Jezzies with kids approach the “I-want-to-start-trying” conversation? I'm feeling pretty into it, and I know hubs is into it too...eventually. How do I convince him the time is now?

Starting new jobs is the absolute worst. Nothing makes me feel less sure of my entire life than the first few weeks of a job.

Yessss! I love all these stories

The planet on which we work on deadlines, so I have to work extra long days when there are mandated festivities. I'd rather work 8 hours and have no party than spend 12 hours there.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I totally agree with Joe Mande. My new company makes a huge to-do over Halloween, and it's fucking ridiculous. Like, 3 hours of my day Thursday are carved out (no pun intended) for varying festivities, and dressing up is mandatory. Ugh.

“Good job honey, you squeezed a baby out. Now here’s a Louis Vuitton tote.”

Push present. I hate, hate, hate it. The name and the thing.

I took a two-hour couch nap today, so I'm off to a good start!

Haha denial is a powerful tool.

Omg you look just like Kesha, and I mean that as such a compliment. So pretty!

What are your tricks for staving off a cold? I can feel one creeping up, but I am not ok with it!!
