Husband and I danced to Hall & Oates “Sara Smile”. It tells the story of our lives. Not only is my name Sara[h], we warm each other’s cold bodies up; the holding each other when we can’t go on, also true.
Also, it is YOU. AND ME. FOREVER.

It does not look seaworthy at all. It is better left where it is.

I’ll pile on with my experience. I’ve been on Mirena, twice, since 2011. I went off late in 2013 to get pregnant. I had a successful pregnancy and opted to get Mirena again at my 3 month postpartum checkup.
I’m one of the lucky ones, no periods, no PMS, and my cycle-triggered migraines took a nosedive. I still get the…

No, not just you. This mom-of-three has no plans to see it. It looks like it is chock full of lazy jokes and tripe. I take a hard pass on anything that tries to pit one type of mother against another (Mommy WarsTM).

That is a very apt way to put it...very fan fictiony. I don’t really hate the name Genevieve, it really is a lovely name. It was just more a comment on how overly romantic and flowery the names we come up with when we’re young...those terrible fan-fiction names ;)

HAHA yes me too! Later in my teens, around the time The Dance came out!

Nothing wrong with a family name. I think it’s a pretty name, it is romantic and flowery which is how it reflects my preteen sensibilities.

I call this the “baby name wish list from middle school” problem. It is proliferate in some of my extended family. I think a lot of us had these ideas, back when we were 11, of what we’d name our kids. For reference, mine were Quinton and Genevieve (cringe). I did not give those names to my children. That couple had…

Yeah, I just came here to point out that this is the song from Fantasmic! (IIRC). Not a bad show, good music choice, but I was suspicious this was pandering to the ABC/Disney family.

From a merchandising standpoint, this is a difficult road to travel. I know my Target has a large “seasonal” section which is currently decked out for Christmas. There is a lot of money spent on purchasing, storing, displaying, then pulling seasonal items. It doesn’t make sense to do one cycle for Halloween and…

Thank you for opening my eyes to the fact that there is now a decaf version of this. I really like her chai too, but I’m no afficianado of chai. However, I am unable to drink any caffeine and I sorely miss it. :D

I haven’t been to Disneyland in a few years, but their survey perssonel were in uniform. Usually a white button up, navy pants, and the ubiquitous Disney name tag. Also, they had touch screen devices for their surveys, they did not use clipboards.

I have a zojirushi bread maker (thoughtful wedding present). I don’t use it to bake the bread, but it is a wonder at mixing, kneading, and proofing the dough. I can set it to run at a later time, and the compartment stays warm and humid throughout the kneading/proofing stages.

It isn’t so much classical as ambient, but using less electronic/synth. I love Max Richter, he is a wonderful composer. I especially love what he did on Recomposed. I bought both Sleep and From Sleep last night; slept nicely while listening to the former.

OMG, I thought I was the only person who has reverse-SAD. I have no business living in California. I’d move except I love having an extended family...but DAMN the drought and DAMN this heat. I live in NorCal so we have Summer from April - Oct. Autumn in Nov. Two weeks of Winter in December then Spring until April. F…

Be careful what you wish for. I have relatives who believe his non-PC attitude is very refreshing (barf). Additionally, there are many republicans who may not love their candidate but they’ll be damned if they vote against their party.

I still shudder when I think about my round of chicken pox when I was 8. I had them all over: eyelids, under my nail beds, my genitals... An absolute nightmare I wish on no one. From a completely practical side, if your kid(s) get chicken pox, you are looking at 1 week minimum of lost work/school and all the fun care…

“134 people got a rash, some got a fever. No one died.”

I figured that could be the case, some “prop” cakes for show and delicious sheet cake for the guests. I decided to err on the side of caution though just in case he got the idea to test out future wedding cakes XD
