Overall, I really like my office, but there are quiet things that add up and do get tiring. For example, I’d go to the kitchen and see the two guys who run the company and the new guy in my department throwing a football around in the executive office, tossing it back and forth and shooting the shit. It allowed him to…

Except wouldn't that require it to be a color that actually matches skin tone? Nude pumps are always the ugliest shade of beige, and they don't resemble any skin tone I've ever seen.

Puppy Surprise, Kitty Surprise, Bunny Surprise, Bear Surprise, and then, the end-all-be-all of surprise pets, PONY Surprise. These were some of my favorites growing up. The adults were kind of weirdly not-cute-but-cute-enough but the babies were crazy adorable.

All right, but let's be honest: They are still paying. They are paying in labor and time, if not in cash. But that labor and time would have earned them cash so...they payed for it.

Anyways, I'm just saying, get creative, but realize you're going to still be paying for your wedding, one way or another. This couple…

Don't forget that a lot of stores will cap how many dresses you can try on! A lot of salons I visited only allowed 3-4 try ons per visit. That meant if you didn't find your dream dress out of the *three* you actually got to wear, you'd have to schedule another appointment for later. Talk about a time-eating-nightmare.

B…

Doesn't this just reinforce the idea that being a little girl is "lame," since it is a punishment? I'd think that highlighting all the stuff she can do as a kid that she can't do as a grown up—or showing how much annoying responsibility comes with being a grown up—would be a more effective tool, in order to help her…

Last year, my husband got a job in a teeny tiny town in East Texas working on an indie film. It was a long-term engagement, and for a variety of reasons, the director wanted everyone in town where the film had been shot even during post-production. Because we have a number of pets, this was going to prove difficult…

I'm not sure of the content of the article, but if the Kardashians actually live in the house shown on the cutaways of their show (you never know) I am pretty sure coyotes are to blame for the "mysterious" disappearances. That home is adjacent to a nature preserve/park and pets must be watched very carefully.

Meanwhile they can talk about how they're a good "Christian" institution. This happened to my mother when she worked at a Catholic hospital. She got pregnant, decided to keep the baby despite the fact that she wasn't married, the father (who also worked there) admitted to the administration it was his, and so the…

Have you seen any other Swiffer commercials?

They are by and large insanely sexist. What about the woman who "loves" to mop, dancing with her Swiffer? Normally I'm live and let live, but I've lost count of how many times I have rolled my eye in dismay at a new, horribly sexist Swiffer add. As long as Swiffer has…

And it's so sad, because it's such a beautiful city. I love Seattle's look as a city, but I grew up in Tacoma, and as soon as someone in Seattle learned where I lived, it felt like they immediately had to express their disdain ("Oh, you live where they have the AROMA?! *sneer* Ha ha ha!"). But it always seemed to me…
