As a Houstonian, I can tell you that you forgot the part about going 85 miles per hour while watching the game on their phones. :)

You describe exactly the same experience I had reading Ramona. As a kid in an economically....challenged household relative to my schoolmaters, reading about that family was so familiar and comforting.
My Mom was neither Super Mom nor Super CEO, and I feel like that situation—not being helicoptered, but not being neglected—was a fabulous balance. I never had to be told to do my homework or get good grades. My parents never stayed up late doing projects with (or for) me for school. It fostered a huge sense of…
Mexican coke in the glass bottles (it has real cane sugar, not the HFCS shit) and spicy jalapeno breakfast tacos from a BBQ place.
I finally gave up straightening my hair in college, when I realized I didn't want to run around the dorm in huge velcro rollers that I would then just have to take out and then run a ceramic straightener through. Despite people (unsolicited) telling me that they preferred my hair straight, I gave up on the routine…
Has no one else noticed that she's named check Tino and Rayanne from My So-Called Life? Let me be the first to bow before the glory that is a MSCL homage.
Y'all owe it to yourselves to click on the link and look at the picture of the boyfriend. He resembles Tom Cullen from The Stand miniseries. M-O-O-N, that spells Shit Sandwich of a Boyfriend.
This is almost, but not quite, as bad as his performance as my FF QB last week. ;)
If you ever want to hate Jerry Jones more, take the tour of Cowboys Stadium. You'll learn fascinating facts like the fact that no women are allowed in this room, called "his perch". The tour guides talk reverently about "Mr. Jones" and make sure to remind you several times that he ponied up more money for the…
Another hack I use weekly when I make my weekly menu/grocery list: try to plan recipes with many similar fresh ingredients. For example, if you have a lot of Mexican food on the menu, chop onions and jalapenos once for the whole week.
You shouldn't be having to pay for birth control thanks to Obamacare. (No joke). Mine are free, even though I have insurance. I had to do no paperwork or anything.
From the late, great Bill Hicks: "A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. You think when Jesus comes back he ever wants to see a f——g cross?? That's like going up to Jackie O'nassis wearing a rifle pendant."
Piper is so annoying that she sets my teeth on edge and my shoulders creep up by my ears. I am glad I didn't give up on the show because the ancillary characters are amazing. Maybe she'll get shanked in season 2!
I'm of two minds about this. My husband and I lived together for 5 years before we were married, and a lot of our kitchen stuff was a mix of stuff from our sophomore year of college when our parents offloaded all of the 1980s colored kitchenware to us as we moved out of the dorms and into our own apartments. So…
I'm not usually one to defend my state (Texas), especially recently...but do this here, you're gonna get shot.
Lately I have been on this kick of watching anything with Joan Crawford and Bette Davis in it, or anything originally written by Tennessee Williams. I just had the thought last week "no one would ever fund this movie now" while watching Harriet Craig. Yes, I know most of the portraits of the women were…
I am so sorry you had to endure these ridiculous threats and abuse. For the rest of the world, when we saw you on the amazing "Totally Biased" show, we turned to the person on the couch next to us and shouted, "I love this woman's work and I love the website she works with!" Because we are employed and busy, we…
I won't lie, I find that internships tend to reside in the realm of the privileged. I couldn't afford to work for free in college, since I was...you know...paying for my own degree. I really resented the fact that people who could afford not to work got a leg up on their resumes compared to those of us who DID work…
Totally happened here (Houston)—it was listed in the DVR guide as being supposed to be F1, but was horrid infomercials. Thankfully I have Dish and picked up the NBCSports re-air, but just not the same. I wound up watching it on Univision. En espanol.
