Year in Books
(and my lazy reviews of those books)
Freedom by Jonathan Franzen: got me thinking
Candy Girl by Diablo Cody: fluff
Room by Emma Donoghue: definition of a page-turner
Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes: makes 100% sense but I don’t want to accept the truth about carbs
Altared by Collen Curran: reaffirms that weddings are a gigantic stressball
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins: DUH

I'll spare you my year in review
Because it would look uh-little something like this:
Ate all the pizza and mac I could get hands on
Watched everything television has to offer
Cried about my weight
Continued to eat & slug
Endless loop of the previous bullets
The end by Stephanie Hay

America becoming a nation of renters →
thepo:
str8nochaser:
With U.S. unemployment at a lofty 8.6 percent, home foreclosures rising and property prices under pressure, more and more Americans have given up the dream of owning, opting instead to rent, a shift that is remaking the face of the U.S. housing industry.
The percentage of Americans who own their home dropped from a peak of 69.2 percent in late 2004 to a 13-year low of...

liligolightly replied to your post: Were you ever a Girl Scout? Why or why not? Is there any photographic evidence of it? Also, bacon.
What are your thoughts on turkey bacon? It’s polarizing. However, as someone who gets sick when they eat real bacon, I find it acceptable. (Don’t kick me off Tumblr.)
If you eat it because you like it, acceptable.
People who eat it because they think it’s...

umcanyounot asked: We're having people over for an "after dinner" New Year's Eve party. Since we're hosting, John and I are going to an earlier-than-typical dinner. My question: What's the appropriate amount of drunk I can get before any of my guests arrive? Do I need to actually stop drinking between the time we get home from dinner (~7:30) and when people arrive (~9)?

cassieirwin asked: I want to make something delicious for New Year's Eve dinner but am finding myself overwhelmed by recipe websites. We have no allergies and love all kinds of food and I am willing to spend a considerable amount of time cooking, if necessary. Any suggestions from things you've made and loved?

Food Follow Up: 12/19 Menu
Turkey meatballs and garlic bread - the BEST meatball recipe I’ve ever tried, I make it every couple of months. The lemon zest and fennel seed are so bright and the homemade tomato sauce is super simple and fresh. The garlic bread alongside is non-negotiable. I grate my garlic on a microplane.
Chicken stew with butternut squash and quinoa - good, but Micah is not a quinoa fan so I...

I am now one. I have no idea what I’m doing. I’ve already wanted to throw it away twice thanks to the hella frustrating library ebook page.
Anyone want to be a pal and lend me things? Is that how it works?

liligolightly asked: How exactly did you get your sock bun so perfect? I decided to give it a shot today, and I don't know if it's because my hair is layered or if I didn't use a full length sock, but it's a little wonky and not nearly as flawless as yours.

But did you know you can REVERSE Lululemon grooves?!
I vaguely remember reading ‘reversible’ in the description, I must have assumed it was that thing where you can turn the garment inside out but it still looks like you’re wearing them wrong-side out.
Nope. I tried it the other day, rip off the inner size tag and they look like a second pair of legit pants and it’s...
