Mine was $90, but they took us to and from an aquarium on coach buses and gave us a chocolate fountain among other desserts, so at least the $90 was somewhat justified.

Small government, wooooo!

THIS.

I believe mine was $100 but our prom was in the Space Needle...

Maybe I’m weird, but wouldn’t it be rad if she didn’t even bother with the straps and boobs weren’t such a big deal? Boobs weren’t always extremely sexualized like they are now.

...mine did. But it was $100 per pair of tickets. In 2004, so inflation?

The wearer probably has to stand/sit very straight for everything to stay put. She’s a braver soul than me.

Connecticut.

even some of our male students, who had some serious concerns

I’m totally positive tons of male students expressed serious concerns about dresses they were being shown. Totally positive.

Fuck Him Right In The Pabst

Maybe he can pull a Tyler Perry and play all the Kardashians? I would watch the shit out of that movie!

At the grocery store I used to work in we had the opposite of that. There was this really sweet old lady who would come in all dressed up, and buy her groceries.

I look forward to this night every week because I don’t share a lot of this information with a lot of people. Having trouble with a child is bad enough but when you are doing it completely in secret it…

I think only you can truly decide what you need to do here, but don't stay in a relationship just because you don't think you can start over. You can always start over, even if it's hard and seems impossible. Love, someone who was alone and divorced in a small town halfway across the country from her family only six…

Read all of these first so I’m probably too late for this, but.

I thought maybe I’d be sad about Mother’s Day because this is my first one as a single mom, but I decided to take it as a Treat Yo Self weekend. It has been AWESOME. New pinata cake pan? TREAT YO SELF. New nail polish even though you have a billion? TREAT YO SELF. Entire afternoon off from parenting to prepare for a…

I have twice! You might have seen my comment on the post about when I got my little swallow in Montana. I also got a tattoo on my senior trip to Europe when I was 17. A group of us, unsupervised of course, walked into a tattoo parlor in Madrid and pointed to the small flash pieces that we wanted. Since there was a…
