Uh...I dunno how much MORE anxiety I could have had as a knocked-up teenager with an abusive boyfriend and a mother who hadn't yet realized her own potential, but my newborn baby was 8 lbs. even, dude. Healthier than a horse. Just saying.
WHERE'S MY FUCKEN WAFFLE ROBOT, DAMN IT?! #breakfast
Breakfast machines are a childhood fantasy of mine, but I wouldn't trust it to work. All I can think of is Jonathan Pryce holding his depressing coffee-soaked toast at the beginning of Brazil. #breakfast
I hope Alice Munro gets well very soon. Her books are the dominant placeholder on my favorite-books shelf- I feel like I'm constantly waiting for her next amazing story or book to come out. #breakfast
Re: the disparity between men and women at the top positions of law firms.
I will say this every single time, but it bears repeating.
NEVER, for the sake of your sanity and very belief in humanity, read the comments on Above the Law. It makes me weep for the profession I am currently killing myself to enter. #breakfast
@curiousgeorgiana: And you know I just did it anyway. There's even a warning on the site that the comments are hidden for your 'protection'. And I did it anyway. #breakfast
@curiousgeorgiana: I'll get right on that after I drill a hole in my head and pour bleach in, in an effort to erase the memory. It took pretty much about 6 comments. And I regularly read the comments on the NY Post site. #breakfast
Yes, but does it make waffles? Because if the answer is no, I shall continue my noble work until automatic waffle-makers are a reality for all who want them! #breakfast
I can't parallel park and I can't back-in park either, but it's not because I'm a woman. It's because I don't live somewhere where parallel parking is prevalent, and because I think backing out of a parking space is just easier than backing in.
@sebluver: Just something to consider, but pulling out of a parking spot forward is much, much safer than backing out, especially with respect to being able to see pedestrians.
To join in, seriously? A bad parker because I happen to be a woman?
No.
I lived in Long Beach, king of all parking hell. I once parallel parked my car in such a tight space my neighbor actually texted me and said:
"good luck getting your car out tomorrow, its completely blocked in."
I wrote back and said "I PARKED it there."
I shit you not there was perhaps and inch in front and behind it.
Oh, I also work occasionally as a valet for a company that is ALL women.
Want to see some INSANE amazing parking Daily Fail?
Come along to work with me...
@lalie (apologetic mess): I am not a smoker, but once or twice a year a friend and I enjoyed buying a pack of cloves and smoking three or four in a row.
Sigh. I will miss that. I hate smoking actually, but think this ban is ridiculous.
I hate parking; it stresses me out to no end. I don't think that I'm bad at it because I'm female, I think I'm bad at it because my parents didn't let me drive at a normal age and instead instilled a horrific fear of driving in me. I don't like driving with other people in my car because I feel like I have to perform, especially at parking, and I worry that if someone sees me parking badly they will think I can't do it because I'm female, and not for the simple reason that no one ever really taught me properly. (However, this does make a good park-job really satisfying. I'll even text my roommate and tell her about it.)

Those things are amazing. Melon flavored! It's like candy! And nicotine!
And cloves. Le sigh.
