This may be my favorite selfie ever. The joy of spit-filled cheeks – better than Botox! Not bad for bedhead, right? I’m trying oil pulling. Oh, hello Internet bandwagon! Mind if I jump on? Yes, yes, clearly you’re very crowded what with EVERYONE talking about it this weekend but you know me, I’m always game …
I have SO done this. I’m not too proud to admit this: I cried all the way through Anne Hathaway’s solo as the cursed Fantine in Les Miserable. And not just a few sniffles – I sobbed. And sang along. And sobbed harder. It was the ugliest of ugly cries. I would have been mortified …
I probably shouldn’t admit how much I sympathize with this person. Do you ever go into the grocery store to pick up a few things, only to have a sneaking suspicion that your store is trying to kill you? I mean really, grocery stores are pretty dangerous places when you think about it and …

For something that’s supposed to make our lives simpler, sometimes eating out is crazy complicated. But it’s important to me to find time to connect with …
I love love love Natalie Dee. This weekend something awesome happened: My husband’s grandmother, the last living grandparent either one of us has, came to visit.
