Pomegranate juice and sparkling water is my mocktail of choice (I don’t drink), and it is a gorgeous ruby color that really sets off a holiday table. You can also use 100% cranberry juice (not the cran juice cocktail); expensive, but a little goes a long way, and then you can garnish it with a skewer of fresh…

There is a saying (some say Japanese but I have no proof of this) that we have 3 faces. The first face, you show to the world. The second face, you show to your close friends and your family. The third face, you never show anyone.

The person who committed these crimes is not the Lance Mason familiar to me.

It’s never the woman you know either. It’s never the opinionated, happy-seeming, confident woman being abused. It’s never the happy mother, the dedicated wife, the accomplished physician. That woman would never be abused. She would stop it. She would not put up with that kind of thing. Her upbringing didn’t…

I guess Trump was right.

The problem with having savings for emergencies is that when an emergency happens it gets all used up and it takes another decade to build them back up again, which won’t happen if the emergency is ongoing.

I still haven’t bounced back fully from having lost my job due to the great recession. I ended up going back to school for a different career entirely and am struggling to get that career going. Any who, I just got paid today, and yeah, after paying all my bills (and some back bills and IOU’s) I now have $300 to last…

That whole superior-as-fuck idea that she should have that amount by now is so fucking ignorant! So they read their own articles about the state of the US workforce? Do they think people live week to week and go into debt for medical expenses because they don’t want to touch the $30k they’ve all got salted away? What…

That’s called the crupper, I think. It’s basically just a strap that goes under the tail to keep the harness in place. God, I can’t believe how much I still know about horses from being a little girl who reeeeeeaaallly wanted a pony. I don’t know whether I should be proud or embarrassed.

LMAO omg. How did the boss take it? 

I got caught screenshotting a (former) friend.  She said something hilariously stupid and I needed my husband to share in it with me, but I accidentally sent the screenshot back to her.  Whooooooopsie

So my wife and I text animal noises to each other all the time - most frequently “meow” or some variation. Multiple animal noises usually signal we are especially excited about something.

Yes, we were! For anyone who wants to help from afar: we have a runoff for Secretary of State on December 4th. It’s hard to get Dems to turn out for runoffs, so we can use all the help we can get for calls etc! Brian Kemp being secretary of state is basically  How he was able to suppress the vote enough to win. Help…

yeah. I heard someone on a podcast recently saying that the amount of conflict of intrest that was treated as business as usual this election cycle was really chilling. I agree. I guess in the long run I’ll try to focus on the fact that Gillum and Abrams did so well, but tonight my heart is broken. 

GW Bush used to do the same thing. You could always tell when the simplified explanation for something was fresh in his mind, because he'd smugly repeat it to the press. The Republican Party is such a fucking embarrassment.

None because I do my best and most regrettably unforced errors in person thank you very much.

Ambien ambien ambien walrus!

When I have my pig/peacock/salamander army, you’ll be sorry you mocked my plan.
