I spend the winter typing in fingerless gloves, and I often have to haul them out in the summer. I have Reynauds, and the long-term damage from the persistent cold in my office is a real fear. My old boss once saw me drop a ream of paper when my hands seized up, and she finally understood my pain. But our building is… Read more

Yet not quite big enough...can you scroll down? Read more
That is a scary old photo. Taylor’s old nose, and Nikki’s old stylist. I am always amazed by how lovely Nikki is now. Her makeup is still exaggerated, but it really enhances her features and her eyes are expressive, and she doesn't let her makeup out shadow her own personality. She is someone who will evolve into a… Read more
Pretty much every chimney sweep in the bar. Read more
They were the first thing to ghost. Read more
I didn’t realize the decoy kid was real. As an adoptive mother, that disturbs me greatly bc I could never put a child through more abandonment. Read more
They were on an overnight train traveling back from a set, and he went into her private room. The story is riveting to read. She was in so much turmoil, but managed to keep her daughter. Read more
I just read this to my husband. I had plenty of time because we are driving Route 36 through northern Kansas bc he always wanted to see northern Kansas. When his dream is so sad and small, how could I say no? Read more
Remember the part where Cher hooks up with step-brother? Yeah, Angelina has been practicing this for years. Read more
I kinda see it if River had aged enough for his face to thin out. Read more
I never realized that I shared an anniversary with them. I always think of my wedding day as “the day Katie Holmes grabbed Suri and got the hell out of Crazytown.” Pretty sure I did a toast to her that night. Read more
My kids were adopted under my name, so when we married they took my husband’s name as their second middle name so I didn't have to redo Social Security, certificates of foreign birth, etc. My husband is OK with answering to my last name whenever he takes the kids to appointments. Read more
We hosted a friend of my niece for a week, and Porch Kitty was all over her. Just doesn’t trust us at all. She has terrible teeth from her time on the streets, and lost a tooth today. We are not sure how we will get her into the carrier for her trip to the vet. I may have to call the girl just to come over and catch… Read more
We are cat sitting for a friend this week. She adopted a cat from the shelter about a month ago, and she’s still skitters. Tansy will barely let me look at her, but she let my daughter pet her and snuggle. I might have a little cat whisperer. Read more
Our Porch Kitty was obviously abused before she came to us. Took us four cold months to lure her inside. She is still nervous around adults, but I often find her in my daughter’s room, sitting on the spare bed, just hanging out. My daughter can pet her, but she scoots away from the rest of us. Read more
One of the judges (Dave Barry?) wrote an article about being a judge at this particular pageant. They had a new scoring system, which the judges could not understand, and his conclusion was that she won bc one judge threw the pageant to her bc he took advantage of the confusion. Read more
He just blurted it out at dinner in a restaurant about halfway in. He was nervous to tell her, and she was casually dismissive because someone was talking about feelings that weren’t hers, dammit, and she really feels important thoughts. Read more
She said several times she was afraid to speak to him, because he flew off the handle at every slight and she just wanted peace. And when she did speak up (the closet-hogging situation) he just flat out ignored her and did what he wanted. If she had pushed him on it, she would probably be hanging in the closet next to… Read more
It’s also on A&E, but I think it is a bit shorter. But it’ll get you through naptime. Read more
I am so glad they caught him on a live mike. I thought it was odd that their two biggest fights (her tattoos are trashy, he took $100 in wedding money) were not on tape. They can’t turn around without bumping into a camera crew, but he managed to do sneaky things and then accuse her of making things up and playing the… Read more
