Oh man dinnertime sucks at my house right now. Older stepkid comes home from soccer at 9 PM starving and is thin as a rail. Younger stepkid does not do any kind of physical activity and is the opposite of a picky eater. If I make a meal he likes he literally will not stop eating until he makes himself sick. Which in…

The risk of relationship momentum is real here. “Wait six months” turns into “wait a year” turns into “we’re pretty much on the same page now, let’s get married” turns into “actually I want kids now and I resent you for preventing my dream” turns into “divorce”. Happened to me.

If only this worked for cats.

If I can add to this, PLEASE give your time to a local organization as an unpaid intern. You are in the unique position of not having to be paid, and therefore can make a huge difference to a meaningful cause and not be left with a blank resume when- you never know - you might actually need a real job.

Standing makes my body hurt in ways I didn’t anticipate. My legs and shoulders are noticeably sore. I also haven’t noticed any weight loss, though I am not heavy enough to drop pounds just by changing small things, as I realized dejectedly earlier this year. I continue on the basis that it must be good for me, though…

You would think these would go without saying... but...

GOLD STAR. THIS.

That person is my sister :-/

LOL- I did this with Pandora. It was awesome.
