TMI alert. You've been warned. I'm comfortable in bloomers. Granny undies, big old pantaloons, you get my drift. I understand how troubling this may sound, largely because I'm nowhere near the age where a package of gigantic Hanes underwear should be so appealing. But they are the enormous sirens to my wide-eyed Ulysses, and I always …
Gratitude Friday: A Thank You.
On this much belated Gratitude Friday, I was inspired by the words of actress Gabourey Sidibe during the Gloria Awards (honoring Gloria Steinem), as tweeted by the awesome Awesomely Luvvie: "I'm grateful to...my 5th grade class because if they hadn't made me cry, I wouldn't be able to cry on cue now."

We Need to Talk About This.
So it's no surprise that I'm quietly freaking out about this. You know I love her. Here's why I'm happy with People's choice this year: 1.
