I love John Oliver

Whole Foods and a free show? And closet space, to boot?

I bet they had to scrub that place down with bleach and lighter fluid after Weiner moved out.

Yeah, I used to be fiercely pro-my last name. And I still enjoy the history of it, but I don’t feel like I need to have it attached to me to enjoy the history and know I’m part of it.

I guess that’s it. I don’t care as much about my own name and at this stage of my life I feel more connected to this little group of…

I worked at a pharmacy years ago (like early 2000's) and we always had problems with running prescriptions through insurance for the women who decided to hyphenate their names. So Miss Smith is now Mrs Smith-Jones. The consensus seemed to be if they could do it again, they’d just take their husbands name. It bothered…

You never know. Literally I woke up one day and was like “Hey, I know what I want to do...”. Weird.

That was my whole reason for keeping my name in the first place. My mum went through that with her divorce. It was really irritating because she was born in the UK and changing it back took forever. She’s remarried now…

Hello, lovely Jezzies. Hope all is well with everyone. I got addicted to Hawaii Five-O this week (thank you, Netflix), and, as always, succumbed to a pretty thorough googling of the show. Which inevitably led me down a rabbit hole to the 68th Golden Globes Wikipedia page. Which is just a page full of wtf-ery. The…

Will consider if name is acceptable. I had a middle school science teacher called Mrs. Butts. I want none of that. Who CHOOSES to be Mrs. Butts? And then teaches middle school?

But I digress.

Tuesday is my last day at work and next Saturday we’re moving back to our home state. I’m so excited!!!

This may sound decidedly unromantic but my last name is fairly ungainly. I have always thought that my decision would center around who had the most aesthetically pleasing surname. Does this make me a bad person?

That’s the weird thing. I’ve never once had to explain it. I guess people are pretty used to parents and kids having different last names these days. It’s never come up. Usually when you sign them up for things you have to put both your names on, so I do that and that’s the end of it. So it’s not been a hassle in any…

Is it starting to bother you more now that your kids are getting older? Maybe more involved in school or sports and get tired of explaining it (for example if they just assume your last name is your husband’s and address you as a Mr or Mrs Smith and you have to be like, “actually it’s Jones”)?

I bought a house!

I can’t answer your question, but I’ve had a sudden desire to change my name back to my maiden name because I’ve realized that my brother and I are the last of the line for our surname. It’s somewhat unexplainable because my kidlet will still have my husband’s surname, so it’s the end of the line whether I change it…

So this is weird. I’ve been pondering changing my last name so it’s the same as my husband and kids. We’ve been married for ten years and I never once thought about changing it, but now I have this inexplicable desire to do so. Why? I don’t get it.

Aw, sweetie bear! I’m so glad he’s doing better.

The Onion. Follow them on Instagram, it’s a goddamn delight.

Evidently there was also an incident with Macron in which maybe he should have spoken English in front of Trump, but chose to speak French instead.
