I absolutely love mine. I've been period free because of it, and trust me, this makes me very very happy. I actually just recently had my old one removed and a new one put in, and I'll admit it hurt. I am friends with my ob-gyn (because she's snarky, awesome, and hilarious) and so it was perfectly ok when I said "oh,…

check the actual policy info. friend got geico because it was cheap and it was only after he made that decision did he realize that it was because the geico policy was liability only and therefore left him screwed when he got into an accident. also, deductibles were insane.

mine don't make much sense together: witty, outspoken, restless, sweet, eloquent.

heh, being at bookstores is a dangerous prospect for me. luckily, there's just two books i want to get, and they're paperbacks so the budget won't hate me too much.

i have a feeling i'm going to end up being irresponsible at barnes & noble on my way back into town from dropping off the kids at grandma's. it's a tough life, being so hardcore.

i am feeling way lame. friends are in from out of town this weekend and were making sure that we'd get to spend time together and told me multiple times that sunday night was the night to have fun and to make sure that i'm free sunday night. so i go out of my way to get sitting and make sure that my schedule is…

hey, any omaha/lincoln/cb area jezzies -

ok, the mental picture of a drunk pirate kitty just made my day!

you know, within the field of women's studies in lit, things are opening up a bit if you get more open minded professors/scholars but the snobbery is still there. mostly because the serious scholars dismiss chick lit and want to focus on more serious works. i love the serious works and the recovery work that's being…

i am a big ol dork, but that's one of my favorite movies ever and a tradition to watch in our house at halloween time! we end up watching it about 50 million times halloweeen week.

i would NEVER judge for reading chick lit, considering that i just did my senior paper on it and was told that i made an excellent case for serious study of the genre within women's literature!! my professor told me to submit it to conferences as well, yay!

is binx in any way called for the cat from hocus pocus? if so, i like you a lot. i like you anyway on general principle. i'm sorry you lost your other kitty, very sad.

I apologize to stuff all the time. Walk into a wall? I tell it I'm sorry. Trip over something? I tell it I'm sorry. I bless my cats when they sneeze. I say ouch for other people. It's ridiculous.

You know, here's the deal. I practice AP (attachment parenting) as much as it is comfortable for me because it's what works for us. Co-sleeping worked well because I got to sleep, and I am not good without sleep. Breastfeeding was difficult to start, but once I got the hang of it, it was so much easier than getting…

The whole deal with this too, if you look at the novel as a critique of gender expectations in our current society is that Bridget was under the impression that she was fat. No one told Bridget in the novels that she was fat, it was her own construction. SHE thought she needed to lose weight. That Hollywood execs…

I haven't ever met another boy cat that talks like Marconi does, and I cannot tell you how super cool it is that there is another person that hears their cat talk and doesn't think I'm crazy!

My boy cat says hello and mom. I swear. No lie. When he cannot find the other two cats or me, he wanders around the house saying HELLO? HEEELLLLLOOOOOOO? until he finds me or one of the other cats and all is right in his world again. The mom thing you have to hear to believe, but he says it when he's looking…

that shit was fantastic. the interviews with the oklahoma reps made my life. also, the part where they actually talked about mittens claiming an Obama war on women was chocolate sauce on my sundae of awesome.

I just embarrassed myself in a coffee shop by laughing inappropriately loud at this. thank you. it was worth the guy next to me jumping in his seat.

LOL, cauliflower is awesomeness. Especially garlicky whipped cauliflower. Om nom nom.
