THANK YOU SO MUCH! I’ve never hired a house cleaner, and I don’t want to be a jerk client! I have a big dog and three little ones. Two of them are kind of fearful of new people (rescue dogs) so I would keep them outside and *hope* that they settle down and not bother them. I wouldn’t ask someone to do dog care stuff,…

Do you clean houses? Do you mind if I ask you how you feel about cleaning houses with dogs? I have four, and they bark a lot when people come. It’s kind of kept me from looking for a house cleaner. I would leave them outside when the person came, so they wouldn’t have to deal with them, but I wonder if there are any…

It looks like some kind of electronic pet tracker, which would be a good idea for Emily. My dogs would eat it though. They eat their own collars, just chew them off, even the leather ones. :/

It is a bluetooth tracker I got her, since she has escaped 3 times this summer, once resulting in a very serious injury.

Ren and Stimpy 4Ever!

She is basically the Jezebel mascot cat. Hope you both have a good night!

I'm forever in the greys but my hubby and I are bringing the blowup mattress into the living room so we can chill. It's super fun. Mattress in the LR is one of life's pleasures. Let's all get a mattress and blankets and make a fort!!! With wine (or vodka) and snacks!

I look forward to Emily updates. Makes me want a cat even more. :)

seconded! A lot of workplaces have the unwritten rule “if you’re early you’re on time, if you’re on time your late,” follow the dress code if they have one, and (this one is still hard for me), don’t swear in the workplace, even if most people there already do. When you are the rookie, you’re held to a different…

He has an entire platform. And I don’t know what he has to complain about, he has a window seat cushion CUSTOM MADE for him to sit on so he can stare out the window all day in comfort.

I have had intense technical difficulties tonight, but I managed to make it!

Greetings from México!! I just want to say that is has been a very good day for us at the Olympics xD and even I am not very nacionalist in any other way, I am happy today.

I’m forever gray, but I just had to add on to the Gawker lamemtations. I haven’t been here since the beginning like some, but I’ve been here almost every day since 2010. It took me years to work up the nerve to create a burner, then even longer to finally post anything. Now that it’s gone I’m sad that I didn’t try to…

Hello. I’m coming out of my long-time lurking to post this.

I’m sitting here with a baby on my breast having nothing of interest to bring up. Baby started daycare, I started back at work, everything is pretty okay right now. Starting today I’m cutting my Zoloft dose (PPD yay!) in half for the next month and then hopefully stopping entirely. I have a milk surplus, currently…

I should add a preemptive “thanks.” My question reads more like an interrogation than I intended it to.

Now that Gawker is down, I need help: where do you lovely Jezzies get your news? Gawker was how I got into actually reading the news and knowing what was going on in the world, and it's been my primary source ever since. Now I need recs for where else to get news. I hate reading staid, personality-less articles, and…

Last week I posted a personal accomplishment of finally opening an Etsy shop for my little cross stitch hobby.

I made pico de gallo from tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and cucumbers from my garden today, it was delicious! I know cucumber is not a traditional ingredient, but it was a nice crunch, and nice and cooling (my lips are still tingling) so I’m willing to fight the authenticity police about it. Come at me! Also, I watched…

My birthday potluck was a success and everyone had a great time so suck it Kara ;) I’m hoping 30 is everything everyone has told me it will be. I'm working on not freaking out about things I can't control and just being in the present. Not worrying so much about the past or the future. I was terrified of turning 30…
