I just described my home's interior design scheme as "someone is running a Montessori preschool out of this haunted museum."

@mindyisser I've found that the main thing is to have a ton of snacks, then just eating becomes the activity. Especially if they're something that takes a little while to eat, like taking raisins individually out of a small box.

@dieworkwear I live in a 1901 house, 1500 square feet, with five kids, I'd take architecture over square footage any day.

Yeah they're called the mountain goats, but it's really just one guy. He knows three chords and six trillion bible verses. His songs are all about breakups or drug addiction and he always sounds like he started singing on accident and isn't sure how to stop. He's my favorite guy.

@jjjjjjjjohannah Growing up my mom always told me she meant one of the cops that patrol Sunset Blvd, not sure if that's true though.

This is what I was born to do.

@DrAllyLouks Congratulations to you! I hope to be there in a couple of years!

@Dorothy410berry This, and I feel this way about (public?) schools, too. Both the teachers and the other parents do things a little differently than I do and that's okay.

I love the strip malls of Southern California. Just miles and miles of the world’s best restaurants of every ethnic cuisine, vape shops, karate schools, nail salons, donut shops, burger joints, gyms, teeth whitening clinics. They really brought heaven to earth here.

Yes ladies you can have it all (moderate cardiovascular fitness and a working knowledge of Peter Lombard's Sentences)

My driver: Explaining he quit his last job after a week and a half, when he asked for an immediate promotion and his boss said maybe

Me, nodding: "Oh, totally, you gotta grow"

I am amazing at agreeing with Lyft drivers.

It's that time of night when I watch the fire blanket ad on Instagram, put it in my cart, and don't buy it.

[Summer Block Lizer @teamblock]

@dahlila It's supposed to be a way to safely extinguish kitchen fires and things.
