Amen. I find him so freaking hot...but then again, I’m always on team #dadbod

A relative of mine recently came out as transgender in the past few weeks. Caitlyn has made an AMAZING impact on our family alone, as the media hype surrounding her gave a quick education to some of my older family members about trans issues who before were completely ignorant. In some way, it was “less weird” (yes I…

Yeah, talk about a 2-for-1 deal. Just fodder for my memoirs. :)

For me its been a weird process. I think that I trust people (for example, I’m pretty open and don’t seem to be scared by say, a man walking down the street or a guy hitting on me in a bar). But then something completely random and small will happen that will completely set me off. i.e.: a friend of mine recently…

My aunt and uncle had solar panels installed several years ago, for a rough estimate cost of about $9000 (after tax breaks etc etc etc). We live in Minnesota, which is actually one of the best states to install solar panels, as we’re so far north we see daylight until sometimes close to 10pm during the summer months.…

T-RAVS! :) I’m actually going home to the 314 in a few weeks for a baby shower and I think the linked recipe is going to be one of the apps. (Maybe even a t-rav tasting bar, who knows?)

I got roped into helping a buddy with the kitchen remodel from hell (I have an arts degree, everyone seems to think as a result I’m their free interior decorator). One of the things I know my buddy asked/negotiated on in terms of price (because I ended up having to help) was doing the tear down and haul away himself,…

I refer to my mother by her first name (and have since...middle school? Early high school?). Drives her nuts, so 20 years later, of course I still do it with glee.

Girlfriend sang “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” with perfection. That is how I choose to remember my Judy.

Shrugged it off. He consented to Viagra to get it up and we planned our sex life around him taking that, but with finishing he had zero interest in trying to tackle.

So how unusual is it for a guy to NEVER finish? My ex never came once in 3 years of sexytimes and its seriously wrecked my sexual self esteem. I keep trying to tell myself its “him not me,” but I’ve gone from being super sexual to being absolutely terrified of the D.

Also be mindful of policies if you’re switching airlines during your route. When I was recently in France for a 6mo stay, I took two massively stuffed suitcases and a giant carry-on. (The rest of what I needed was going to be shipped to me later). I flew out of O’Hare on American and then switched to British Airways…

I think Jenna should have pushed them in the direction Banana Republic has been adopting for the last few years (disclaimer: I’m a former long time BR employee and I don’t have enough fantastic things to say about the brand). BR has kept the overall price point of 90% of their merchandise the same, but has issued…

Recommendation - try Banana Republic and Gap size 16. Mostly sold online, but you can actually score killer deals in store off their online returns. (I got 6 size 16 dresses for about $90 at a BR sale once). Check online and your local stores and watch their sales. I’ve found it to be the perfect in between size. And…

I think in situations like this, its much easier to blame it on “bad” brain chemistry. People don’t like to acknowledge true evil. Unfortunately, those of us with “bad” brain chemistry that aren’t intent on shooting up a church suffer.

My ex fiance. His father committed suicide when he was 13 years old. (Not to mention, my ex was alone in the house with his father when it happened and to this day blames himself, thinking if he had checked on his dad, he’d still be alive today). My ex is a great guy, but one of the saddest people I’ve ever met.…

Yeah, I mean I totally think she went thru an awful experience, but so much of what she’s saying reeks of “The old rich guy didn’t marry me and then croak so I got all his money and now I have the sadz.”

Amen. I’m as white as this chick is and while I think she’s probably mentally ill, it makes my stomach churn to think of the crap she’s alleging happened to her. No one has ever harassed me for my skin color, my ancestors weren’t slaves, etc etc etc. and for myself and Rachel to claim we’ve “had it rough” is laughable…

Another good one is “Bunny Tales: Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion.” It was writhed by another girlfriend of Hef’s who lived in the mansion right around the time Holly first arrived. She had a completely different take on Holly, claimed she was totally obsessed with Hef and did everything she could in terms…

A really great website to follow is TomandLorenzo.com - they’re a husband and husband team of fashion bloggers and they do an amazing job of breaking down clothing/looks (specifics on why proportions don’t work, etc). Christina Hendricks is featured quite often.
