I’ve met this guy, he’s better looking in person, would totally do!

I had acrylics from the time I was about 16 until I got married at 27. My wedding was the last time I had them done. Once they grew out enough to get that stuff off I went to town! My nails were absolute SHIT! Paper-thin and actually painful. Like if anything touched them I’d go through the roof. It took about 6…

$70 for TWO MEALS? Shiiiiiiiitttttttt, that’s cheap! Back in ‘05 when I got married, we were at $75 A HEAD. I would have loved a $35 a plate caterer!

I love that Pearl Jam dedicated Given To Fly to Malala! PJ’s set would have been better if Ed wasn’t so drunk =/

Jesus Christ this is GENIUS!!!

Mixed baby greens & frisee (idk, spell check doesn’t even know), brown sugar bacon, red beans, carrots, smoked Gouda, broccoli, hard boiled egg, with sunflower seeds & cashews, dip my fork in French dressing. This place called Dishes, rocks the midtown lunch, salads are awesome, and Mac & cheese on Fridays!

This color is so great on you!!

Frick has a few of the Maritime ones. Not as colorful as the sunset landscapes but just as dynamic in my opinion. I didn’t really study him either; my degree path was fairly general.

It really is! If you have a chance to get over to the Frick Collection before the 6th, it’s worth the $20 admission! Lots of really great works by well known artists, and the ones they have are just lovely!

I always forget about Turner until I see pieces in person. I was at Frick last week to catch Flaming June’s last days and gah! just, wow! Those Turners!

The barn I boarded at had a really diverse herd. Almost every group would play hard and it totally could look like a real fight. Ours were also vocal, so hearing the squeals & grunts also told us they were playing. Different tones than when they fought, which wasn’t often luckily.

Shetlands were always refered to as ‘shitty shelties’ at the barn, we had 2. They were shitty. We had 2 other ponies and both had major attitude. One stepped on me my 1st lesson and the other used to like to be an ass to me but as soon as her owner (who rode her as a kid and was grown by the time she was my lesson…

We used to chide each other to ‘quit being such a mare!’ at my barn. We had certain horses that would be ok turned out with any of the others, and some that could only be turned out with their friends.

Thank you for using ‘BCE’! I am so sick of scientific publications (like Smithsonian or NatGeo) using BC. Now I’m gonna finish reading your story ;)

I like a full Brazilian for myself. I started doing that when I was at university and worked as a figure study model. I kinda felt like hair should be gone for that job. And I got used to it. I am not militant by any means, I’ll go a while sometimes between waxes, especially in the winter.

I do this too! Except I don’t whisper, I pretty much yell “LOOK UP!!”

Yup! My sister makes around $40k/year as a teacher and now that she’s got a second kid of her own and her fiance’s 2 from his previous marriage, she’ll be working JUST to pay for after school care of the oldest 2, preschool for the 4 year old and infant daycare. Literally, her entire take home will go to child care;…

It may sound silly to a non-religious person (as I am), but Catholic Services usually offers free or discounted local counseling services, or can recommend a free/discounted counselor. I only know that because my mom found one through CRS a couple years ago.

OMG I hadn’t even noticed! I did however notice the accumulation of jewelry. Love those rings! Is that also one on your pointer finger?

I swear, the pics MAKE this story!
