This doesn’t sound too risky if it goes south, so you should ask her out and just keep it on the d/l. I had one terrible hooking up with a co-worker experience and one really great one (we’re married now but no longer work together). Your date sounds lovely btw!

Belted Galloways are also very cool.

Accepted my first children’s library job this week! It’s part time and pays peanuts, but the people who work there are fab and we all mesh really well and my duties will help me tick off all those experience boxes for future employment. The library is super enthusiastic about me starting and within a few hours of me…

I went to Isle of Skye for my honeymoon in October and my (Scottish) husband made of me for how freaking excited I got when we saw a Highland cow on the side of the road. They are AMAZING.

You all are so nice! I’ve never had a ton of money so I actually can’t think of anything super grand. I’d get myself nice and comfy then maybe I could dream bigger and think of who I’d donate to? Immediately I’d 1. pay off my student loans 2. get my husband’s green card and pay whatever to expedite it because he’s…

Yeah, I get those once a month...

Just fairies and dragons? Not any other mythical creatures?

“If we were meant to stay in one place we’d have roots, not feet.” Ugh ugh UGH.

You have so much good advice in this thread! Water water water, moisturizer, eye mask, wear glasses not contacts, clean off your make up and re-apply. My addition would be not to drink any soda because (YMMV) you’ll feel bloated and miserable. It’s also really tempting to watch movies or whatever on the “in-flight…

You are warned so many times not to have anything shiny on you when entering Uluwatu, so part of me is definitely in “serves those people right” mode.

Did you see any of the old old episodes where everyone helped Kris have a yard sale? I would not put it past her to have a black and white teepee in the foyer.

My family/friends and I have had the same dumb “could be real” type conversations about mermaids and unicorns and aliens, etc so I kinda can’t fault that line of thinking...

SO scary! I hope your health is improving.

I wish my mom would practice the “just close the door” thing. I’m 28 and just moved back in with her (combo of being currently unemployed but very very actively looking and having just moved back to the US after 5 years) and was recently married (my husband lives with his parents in his home country until we get his…

Whenever we get new bedding, my dog likes to pick a particular spot, lick it repeatedly to weaken the fabric (I guess?), then tear/chew holes. I really want nice bedding, but I am also a softie who likes warm doggy cuddles in the night.

Finished the first season of Jane the Virgin recently (the second needs to come to Netflix ASAP!) and have been watching Chef’s Table which is a mini-docuseries on some of the world’s top chef’s and their restaurants. It’s by the same person that made Jiro Loves Sushi if you’ve seen that. Last night I watched one…

She is such a pretty little girl. I love her expressive face.

Good read! Thanks for sharing

My husband is Scottish and his family nearly died when we didn’t have a giant frosted fruit cake at our wedding. I’m surprised they even consider us married. :P

Speaking of British things, I’m pretty sure they didn’t have an actual breakfast reception. The wedding meal in England is called a breakfast because it’s the first meal after the marriage. I wish the writer had explained that.
