Men with children.

thoughts?
Only this: Fatherhood proves the man’s ability to have sex and at least one woman’s desire for him to have sex with her. (Excellent news). However, unlike goldfish or other fabulous expiration-dated companions, kids are for life.
So… next question: is there a nanny?
The time's, they are a'changin'...
This has been the scariest 48 hours of my life.

I love my after-date ritual of flossing,...

Upon further inspection, I don’t think this guy, D, is crazy. He is quirky, that’s for sure. I like him.

In other news, there’s been a petty little thing bothering me. In February, I went on two dates with B. Nothing physical ever happened and there really wasn’t much chemistry. He came to my Valentine’s party, didn’t bring the garlic bread he said he’d make, and I never...
Applause wanted.
1. I just fixed my dishwasher, completely solo. DIY projects no longer reserved for when my brother visits.
2. Mailed my completed tax paperwork back to the accountants. Early.
3. Bashfully adorable guy let me cut in front of him at the post office. He blushed. Love that.
4. Vacuumed entire place, put away laundry and week worth of wardrobe castoffs (those really pile up, don’t...
BOING!
“I just wanted you to know that Jeopardy used the jewel that is Showgirls as a clue in last night’s Championship episode. Clue:”One review said this 1995 Elizabeth Berkley film was “42nd Street meets All About Eve meets soft-core porn.” Yep. Hit the nail on the head.”

You're free of conflict and light as a feather.
playnice:
Pep Talk: What might you lose when you let go of conflict? Maybe repetitive negative thought, paranoia, tension, and victimization. What might you gain? Time to create, a safer social environment, a more mature self-image, and a glowing, wrinkle-free, turn-the-other-cheeky complexion. If you’re like me, sometimes your shadiness sensor has a hair-trigger and you’re fully prepared to...
The State of the Economy
There might be some change on top of the dresser at the back, and we should check the washer and the dryer. Check under the floor mats of the car. The couch cushions. I have some books and CDs I could sell, and there are a couple of big bags of aluminum cans in the basement, only trouble is that there isn’t enough gas in the car to get around the block. I’m expecting a check sometime next...
Michelle Bachmann is no Constitutional expert,... →
think4yourself:
robot-heart-politics:
Bachmann essentially tries to nail Geithner to the wall over the Constitutionality of the AIG bailout. Bachmann must be confusing the Constitution with The Bible again. You know? The Bible where God says, “Thou shalt not be socialists,” and “The Capitalists shall inherit the earth.” Oh wait? You mean that’s not in The Bible either? Michelle must have picked...
“Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful...”

“Why is it always a dude that wants me to take off my shirt?”
– Ben Folds, responding to a distinctly baritone catcall at last night’s show
I had forgotten the feeling...
peterwknox:
…maybe because I’m mostly a non-fiction reader, or that when I do make the leap to fiction I tend to reach for more literary tomes, but right now I’m about 20% into a really fun entertaining exciting novel and it’s affecting everything I’m doing instead of reading more of it. The commute was too short. I didn’t take a long enough lunch. I’m going to read it all the way home and then...
Another reason to love being a woman: TAMPON CASES.
Because nothing says ‘I bleed stylishly’ better than a slim carrier that reads ‘Buxom Melons’ or ‘Hot Rod Queen’ and may feature an image of a Foxy Brown knock-off or a geisha.
Tshirt Slogan Idea: 'I love you more than Harry...
Confession: I seriously considered skipping my best friend’s bachelorette weekend because it fell on the same day the final Harry Potter book was released.
Found compromise (with other best friend) by stalking the Evil Empire (aka Walmart) at midnight before the trip, purchasing the book… and waiting three days to begin reading it.
True definition of friendship and love, ladies and...

So, Lifeway ‘Christian’ bookstores came out with a Trademarked little label they are putting on certain books called: “Read Wth Discernment” Which means:
“We want you to know that the authors of books marked Read with Discernment may have espoused thoughts, ideas, or concepts that could be considered inconsistent with historical evangelical theology.”
Why don’t they just say what they...

HELLLLLOOOOOO!!!!
Last night I came home from work, cooked dinner (!!!), and watched the special edition dvd (which I spelled ‘special ed’ inadvertently in several texts) of the one and only MRS. DOUBTFIRE.
It was, in a word, glorious. Or in the two words of my best friend ‘COMEDY GOLD.’
Tonight survived yet another challenging day at the J-O-B in order to meet two former work...

Tarot Card VI. THE LOVERS
Having loved me when I was young
and now when I am not,
you are twice blessed
for giving
a rich person a gift.
In no one else’s dream but yours,
I will be the old lady
wearing a white straw hat
with a red satin bow
who says Thank you.
