Speaking of obdurate and bootless environmental policies —

That sounds awesome. My husband had a Burger King craving so now he’s ventured out in the cold to get us some. Shitty, I know. The high point of my day was breakfast, I wanted the Boston creme pancakes from a hipster brunch place downtown and after inviting my kids to go with me they bailed, and my husband was still…

Pet Thread!!

Baby is 9 months. Took her to a science center today; she loves to play with water.

Man, is SNS now at 5?

hi everyone! what’s for dinner? it’s cold and drizzly and gloomy so i made baked ziti. i’m home alone but why should that stop me from cooking myself an awesome meal?? washed it down with a nice rioja.

I have an interview on Friday for a promotion. Not a big promotion, I might end up getting a few dollars an hour more than I do now if I’m lucky, but I’m still freaking out about it. The invitation just showed up in my work email this morning, and it’s been all I could think about all day. Anyone have any tips?

I guess this is out of style now that cosleeping is in style, but my parents just told us that bedrooms are private places, that you shouldn’t go in someone else’s without permission, and that if someone leaves the living room or the kitchen to go to theirs they probably want to be left alone. They were pretty good…

Caribou/reindeer are one of my all time favorite animals. I even have a caribou track tattoo that goes up my back and over my shoulder.

Having seen the film out of morbid curiosity, I respectfully disagree with the central conceit being inarguably, unapologetically creepy. Sure, I do think it’s a creepy thing he does, but the film takes its time for Jim to be tortured about the decision. He spends a not unsubstantial amount of screen time weighing the…

Wow. I read the original script leaked online, and while the morality of Jim’s act is just as bad, it at least makes a stab at exploring the ethical issue of what the guy has done (they never get back together romanitcally after the discovery) And the reactor failure—spoilers—ends up launching all the hibernation pods…

That’s not chopping off your hair, that’s just slightly less long. People like that annoy the crap out of me. Talk to me when you chop it off above your shoulders.

Blasphemy! Pretty Little Liars 4 lyfe

Hot Take here: You are wrong.

Does it look stupid? Yes. Will I watch it?

Sounds cheery! I put decorations up in my classroom on Friday and had the kids help decorate, which was fun. They are so sweet. They asked if they could have candy canes. Like, this is something they are actually excited about.

The only thing I’ve done is started to curate a Christmas music list on Spotify. Oh, and I bought my gift for my work’s Secret Santa exchange. I got my coworker Joni Mitchell’s Blue album on vinyl, because she just got a record player and she’s so excited about it. I’m going to wrap it up and tape a picture of Alan…

Super festive weekend here. Today my older daughter volunteered to set up the food bank Christmas hamper centre. Then we dropped off our food bank donation bins and decorated the house (an ongoing project). Tonight my kids have friends coming over for a Christmas party with movies and cookie decorating. Tomorrow we…
