YES.

I need to convince my husband that we need another wedding, just so I can wear this.

Season 1 follows the books pretty well - the show only went off the rails partway into season 2. I like the books. They're good fluffy reading, and they're entertaining. Try at least the first couple and see if they grab you.

Research research research. Even if it's something simple, go through every artist's portfolio in your area and find someone whose work (ALL OF THEIR WORK) takes your breath away, even if some/most of it isn't your personal style. A great tattoo artist is adaptable.

I moved to The Netherlands (from VA) several years back and have been teaching (some of) the Dutch the value of that and other phrases. It's now commonly used in my office.

Carter's Grove in Williamsburg had an excellent tour including reconstructed slave quarters, interpreters, and information about the lives of the slaves working on the plantation (along with some very important archaeological excavations dating back thousands of years). It was one of the few James River area…

The Kobo Glo has slight texture on the back and a bit of grip. I have no issues with mine (and love it).

I dropped my Kobo Pocket for the last time Friday evening and the poor thing (finally, after quite a few accidental drops) broke. I had a Kobo Glo in my hands Saturday afternoon. I love them. I love the hardware, their store, the fact that they support so many formats, and how easy they are to use (also, they take…

I've been to one of the events! It was ridiculous fun. (Weirdly, I live in The Hague and have family in Indianapolis - I made it to the Indy one but had to miss Amsterdam. So I could attend one 4500 miles away but couldn't get to the one in my own backyard?)

I'm a big fan of his (but mostly lurk on the site) and was so disappointed he didn't win. It's been an amazing couple of years for him and I was rooting SO HARD.

Every flight I take is international - different airports have different systems, and then when you add roaming charges in (like when I fly to the US) and having to rely on a battery, any kind of boarding pass tied to my mobile is impractical.

Take out the jalapenos and add cream of mushroom soup and you have my family's default go-to!

And Ys. So many freaking Ys.

She said as much in her book. She also mentioned disordered eating before they had figured out what was going on with her body.

White sausage gravy is the BEST gravy! Solidarity in gravy goodness! I support your heresy!

A Keepall is actually my dream travel accessory - I have a Noe (originally designed for use as a champagne carrying bag!) from 1988 that just keeps looking better as it ages. Thing is indestructible!

That's kind of a mythical premise. She "tames" nothing except her own need to cave to her man's requests, occasionally standing up for herself briefly to no avail. Being afraid of her partner's reactions to every. little. thing. is basically the opposite of "not letting him run the show."

I think he just can't handle the idea of dating outside of marriage.

How did I not know this existed?!?!? Thank you!

YES. It's on my wishlist and I'm waiting very impatiently.
