I am loving the short hair on her. It looks so perfect.

I love love love being pregnant, after the first 14 weeks. The first 14 weeks are Hell on Earth for me. With my first, I was 41.5 weeks along and a woman walked up to me and said "when are you due?" I told her I was past due and she just said "no...you look far too composed to be past due".

This is why I am so damn happy my High School didn't have a strict dress code. Quite literally, as long as your tops and bottoms were covered, you were fine. I think the only thing that you couldn't wear was clothes that promoted liquor, cigarettes, drugs, or firearms.

Eh, I've heard their food isn't that bad. And the girls are pretty (I'm saying this as a lady).

Yeah, luckily our IT guys are cool about me having to ask them to pee. It was funny, though. In January, I had a panic attack and had to go to the hospital. I wanted to go into work the next morning, but since I left the hospital at 3:00 a.m., my husband encouraged me to get the doctor's note and take a sick day. My…

I am dealing with this right now. I'm a front-line person and one of the few hourly employees in my area. It used to be that if my phone was unoccupied, it would ring to someone else in the company. When we moved offices, they took away that, put me on my own floor, and put the bathrooms as far away as humanly…

Ugh, that happened at my company. We had denim Fridays (where you could wear colored denim if you were administrative staff but you had to donate $1 or $2 to our not-for-profit for the privilege), until one of our head honchos wore blue jeans and a t-shirt to a freaking public function on behalf of our company. Now,…

I love Discount Dance. Their leos are beautiful. I used to have a chocolate brown satin one with a racerback. It was perfect. I still use them for thick tights in winter. The heavy-duty Danskins last forever!

Yeah, I had tweeted about how if you have guns and you have young children, you should keep the safety on the gun since there have been four accidental shootings by children under seven in the past five months in my state. I was called every misogynistic name in the book, was threatened with rape threats, had my…

That's why I got so mad at one of my friends because she used "but they needed a WoC for the ad". There are a ton of WoC in ballet corps (for example, Alvin Ailey's principal dancer) that could have done this ad and not made a mockery of ballet.

Pointe is all about line. One of my co-dancer friends used this as an analogy "pointe is the ballet equivalent of having a black belt". You just don't "get up" on pointe shoes. You take years of body conditioning to learn balance and line, and then you re-learn how to do it all en pointe. It takes years and years of…

No Rush Limbaugh definitely gave some poor sailor from the 18th century a Roman Shower.

I was wondering what that hashtag was for. I thought there was like a bat at someone's prom or someone brought Batman as a prom date. I was too lazy too actually click the hashtag and see what it was.

I don't think she is singing about how great it is - I think she's singing about how she feels conflicted about the relationship because when it's good, it's good and when it's terrible, it's terrible. That's Cycle of Violence (or as the French call it, Cycle of Abuse and Retaliation) 101.

We call our one year old baby the Hutt (not to his face). He's not overweight but he has jowls like Winston Churchill.

Yeah, unfortunately my aunt's nickname was Fatty Patty. Luckily for her she slimmed down and my father and uncle became less dickish.

Oh yes. My father-in-law lives outside of Asheville. I love it up there.

Well yeah, Florida is awesome. I love Florida, especially the beaches and lakes.

Since moving to the South I've determined that dessert can either be gross (i.e. the pears mentioned above, ambrosia, jello things) or amazing (red velvet cake, bananas foster, pecan pie). It baffles me that with so many delicious options, people choose the disgusting ones.

I have to assume that you live somewhere with winters. I LOVED summers growing up in NY. Then I moved to Central SC. The main city (Columbia) is a big mass of heat during the summer, since it has mountains on all sides so there is literally no breeze. I live in one of the more rural areas between a swamp and a river,…
