DANG IT, straighten up dude!

I have had A THING for Damian Lewis ever since Band of Brothers. I want to believe that he’s a nice guy, but I keep hearing bad stuff about him. NOOO!!!

Oh man, I forgot about the time I had to run away from the cops in an unfamiliar town dressed up as Velma from Scooby Doo. I really miss college.

I’m a pretty mild-mannered person, but two parties in my life have achieved “WTF??!!” status.

Jimmy Bennett is reportedly filing a sexual assault allegation against Asia Argent

I wanna say Jennifer Aniston.

Heyo, #notallIowans. I’m pissed as hell too. Unfortunately, people of my ilk are few and far between in the Hawkeye State.

Almost all of them have the same beliefs as him. Northwestern and Dordt (nearby Sioux Center) are Christian Reformed and Dutch Reformed schools. I had to listen to education students give lesson presentations on creationism presented as fact with no room for evolution. People like Terri Chi fit right in at these…

Orange City is a bastion of religious conservatism in a part of the state that bleeds Steve King red. Disappointing as hell? Of course! Totally surprising? Not at all. This is why I moved!

I live in Iowa. It looks like there is a tile store about an hour away from me, but it’s expensive (imo).

It’s taken me four years to save up to get the glass stuff (I’m a young teacher with a lot of student debt). The tile is almost double that, so I don’t know if I would ever be able to get the tile.

*whiny voice* But I like the glass! I really like actual tile, but I’m not sure if I can afford it (I own my house).

Spill the T—I am out of the loop!

I am finally ready to buy a back splash for my kitchen and don’t know if I should go the traditional tiling route or if I should use the peel and stick squares. I don’t have a lot of DIY experience. Has anyone tried the peel and stick?

I like the paneling a lot better in this room than the living room.

I thought the same thing! “Michelle is HAPPY, dangit!”

I hadn’t heard of Friends from College, but I’m going to check it out now! It includes another dude I’ve liked since I was a kid—Fred Savage!

I’ve been a fan of his ever since Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead. I don’t think he gets enough credit!

Between this and Glow, there are some great things coming up on Netflix. I need to break out my acid wash jeans in preparation.

Western Iowa is much more conservative than Eastern.
