OMG I just want to hug his neck! What a gorgeous boy.

Congrats on the accomplishments! Chiming in to say pumping SUUUUUUUCCCKKKKKSSSSS, and I nursed both of my kids for well over a year but pumping? Barely could get a spray each and every time I attempted it. If you can keep your milk until she is big enough to latch, I think you’ll be golden. Hang in there!

Beautiful! My tomato plants got all pushed around by the wind, and a few stalks were broken. I made low-carb blueberry cream cheese muffins tonight with the blueberries from my garden. While the peppers & melons/squash are doing well, the rest of the fruit is meh. Blueberries are starting to taper off a bit.

What a week! Many hugs to you and your fam. Blessings and releases - what a journey. <3

I just ended my 2nd week of a keto diet and have lost 9lbs in that time. I’ve steadily gained 15lbs/yr despite watching calories & fat and working out 4-5 days/week doing advanced martial arts & weights. I know a lot of it at the beginning is water weight, but I’m so heartened that the scale hasn’t gone back up. I’ve…

I’m thinking it was the zombie attack. His skin looks like it’s sliding off his face. He can’t really die now unless someone lops his head off (or is that vampires?).

our big thing right this hot second is blueberries. we have Farthing, Sunshine Blue, and Emerald varieties, and they’re just going so well. our Muscadine grapes are bearing teeny, tiny little grapes and i’m hoping they’ll take off. everything else is slowly getting there, but my raspberries and blackberries are just…

I was waiting for the “Oh, I never measured. But he never has any problems in the bedroom!” line to come out of her bitch-assed mouth, because a lifetime of small-penis having is SOOOOO much better than someone suffering a medical condition.

I am definitely a 70s-80s child, because that much body hair and a Tom Selleck “Magnum P.I.” moustache TOTALLY does it for me.

Oh, yes. Leif Garrett.
*swoons*

While catchy, that autotune tho...

Much love and many hugs to you. The decorations are so poignant, and I’m sorry that you had to find out about her imminent demise in such a gut-punch manner (although, when’s a great time to tell someone they’re on their way “out”?). Give yourself a few weeks to process everything, and don’t be too hard on yourself…

We’ve gotten about 3" of rain ... THIS YEAR. I have 22K lbs of concrete in my backyard that enclose Mr.TARDISes square foot gardening initiative. We’ve got tons of onions, beans, muscadine grapevines, a shitload of raspberries, blueberries, red cabbage, different potato varieties, strawberries, and corn. I also got a…

You will love that IKEA furniture because it’s yours, and you will look fabulous lounging on it and eating on it! Fuck everyone else and their FB-perfect lives. You’re taking care of you and that’s what’s important.

Yes - all of them at the end at the beach was wonderful as well. I recommend the book, too - Perry’s character was MUCH more awful to Jane during the rape, calling her “disgusting” and “fat” and “stupid” and that no guy would ever want her, and all sorts of horrible things while he was raping her. The TV series made…

This happened to me when my kids were 18 and 22. I actually scheduled a termination before I told my husband. He wanted the baby so badly that it really steered me into deciding to keep it (please note he did NOT pressure me in any way to keep it). I was 42 and wound up having a miscarriage, and at least once per day…

Late to the party (and the concept), but I’ve finally gotten gel nails to work for me. I’m in the water a lot, so previously I had a shitty nail tech put them on. I now have a better nail tech, and holy shit. I feel more femme and a little bit more put together now, particularly since I’m lecturing and often point to…

Oh, how I love this story about the ring! How wonderful. <3

My best friend of 30 years hung himself, completely out of the blue. One thing we had to comfort us, if you can call it that, was that he had overmedicated with drugs and was probably not in his right mind. That doesn’t help the underlying issue of depression and self-loathing and other problems he had. Just try to be…

Finished my dissertation proposal, and now it’s off to the chair - hopefully will defend it this month!
