5671 days agoI just finished the GSA for Safe Schools fund-raiser 5K, and I did it in 26:03! I'm super happy; I just wanted to come in under 27 minutes. I really wasn't expecting to reduce my time from last year THAT much (last year I did it in 27:28). Costumes...

5672 days agoSo I convinced DS that we needed to look for a few more ramekins while we were out, since we got three as a gift but most recipes call for 4-6. I knew Boston Store carries Fiestaware, so we went out there--and all their Fiestaware is 50% off through...

5672 days agoWe just got another wedding present off our registry--a Fiestaware serving bowl and three ramekins (see photo). DS is thrilled because he sees this as the gateway to creme brulee, which I definitely want to try making, but I'm wondering what else...

5673 days agoWe stopped at Hobby Lobby this evening looking for pet costumes, which they didn't have, but they did have stockings. I've been telling DS that we need to get stockings because they are a Very Important Christmas Tradition--apparently not in his...

5673 days agoI haven't seen many people asking about signature cocktails lately--are they going out of style? :p Regardless, I just had an AMAZING one at dinner with DS tonight at this Cajun restaurant we like: a French 75. It's gin, champagne, lemon juice, and...

5673 days agoJust wanted to post one last plug for the 5K I'm running on Sunday. I've been really amazed and humbled by all the support people have provided for GSA for Safe Schools, a Wisconsin group that provides resources to provide safe environments for LGBTQ...

5673 days agoUntil 4pm (I *think* CST), greeting cards are 60% off at Zazzle! This could be a fun way to do announcements or invites of some kind, or to get a jump on your holiday cards! (Curses on DS for not going along with my plan to get reindeer antlers for...

5676 days agoI decided, since a lot of organizations are doing "Wear Purple for LGBTQ Suicide Awareness" on October 20th, following the streak of highly publicized youth suicide these past couple of months, that when I freshened my dye job, I would do purple. I...

5676 days agoSo I had my pre-conception appt with the obgyn yesterday. I didn't really like her, honestly, but I didn't DISlike her either, which probably puts her around the 90th percentile of doctors for me. And as it turns out, it kinda doesn't matter that...

5677 days agoPLEASE cross your fingers for me that the woman I'm seeing today is an intelligent, flexible doctor who can see that I am a grown-a$$ woman with a masters degree and treat me accordingly. And that she is committed to avoiding C-sections...

5681 days ago...You're not new at the internet, so I'm pretty sure you're familiar with the concept of "IP banning." If you want to protect a thriving community, maybe you should consider giving it a try. Seriously, one or two trolls is no biggie, but a billion...

5682 days agoI know this came up a month or so ago, but since it's actually October now (plus I LOVE Halloween), I figured I'd ask: 1) Do you know what you're going to be for Halloween this year? 2) What about your FS/DS? Are you doing a couples costume? 3) What...

5682 days agoApologies if this is a double-post--for some reason, the original is not showing up anywhere in the forum list even though I can see it from my list of posts on my profile... Next Sunday (10/17), I'm running a 5K to raise money for GSA for Safe...

5685 days agoAs a sociologist, I know that women tend to run the social lives of heteronormative families. Generally speaking, women who are married to men write thank-you notes for the wedding gifts, send Christmas cards, RSVP to other people's weddings, etc. I...

5688 days agoSo we didn't have a professional photog, and I still haven't gotten my mother to upload the pics taken with her camera, but here's a nice selection of the reception and of the karaoke we did afterwards!
