I don't even know how to explain how wonderful this is and how much it means to me. Thank you, Madame Secretary, and to your team, and to The Toast. What a wonderful send-off!

I also was pretty sure I never wanted kids (though I had a few moments of ambivalence in my early 30's) and then met "my person" and...am still pretty sure I don't want kids - in case anyone wanted more backup that it's totally possible to find your right person and not change your mind on children. I feel like Beardo and I could be good parents (and our children would be adorable, if very short), but the more time passes the more confident I am with our choice to be childfree.

Right? There's no "take-backs" for that sort of thing. I frankly don't care how sad Former Roommate is now - part of being a grownup (if we're going to talk about what makes one a grownup) is living with the occasionally irritating/saddening consequences of your decisions. This is especially true, in my opinion, if a dependent living creature is involved.

Damn. I was so excited! But chub rub is too dangerous & body glide/deodorant only does so much to prevent it.

I love Giant Leather Mom Purses but my chiropractor wants me to switch to a backpack full time. My shoulders and back agree with the switch but it's just so boring.

I have a very good friend who recently told me that, though she doesn't feel quite ready to marry her (asshole) boyfriend - she'd pull the goalie and have a baby with him tomorrow if he were up for it. Now, I know marriage isn't for everyone, and that is totally fine! But I must admit I don't understand people who say they're not ready to make a lifelong commitment to a romantic partner b/c their relationship is troubled, but ARE willing to consider the lifelong commitment of creating and raising a child. You can divorce your husband or break up with your partner, but if you have a child together, your ex will always be a part of your life (in an ideal world, at least).
(I will say one thing in defense of friend's jerkass boyfriend, he's apparently 100% unwilling to consider procreation until he and friend are at the very least engaged to be married.)

Wait, and these are on Netflix?? American Netflix or another country's Netflix? Because BOY do all of these shows sound right up my alley.
