Ok, ladies. I need your opinion.

I'm looking for a travel skirt - something that doesn't wrinkle, isn't fragile, and dries quickly. I have plenty of skirts in various forms, but none that do all those things together.

Option 1: My friend Jen, who does lots of traveling, recommends this one, by LL BeanI rather like the Shale Grey, but it's sold ( Read more... )

I need a BIG favor. I need a beta for my H/D mpreg fest fic. Caveat: I'm already working on an extension, so I need a quick turnaround. And my fic is a little over 11K words. Ulp. What I need most is to see if the characters aren't doing completely wild personality swings over the course of the fic, plus any SPaG issues I might have missed. ( Read more... )

In China's timezone, Two is now officially 11. O_o Seriously, how does this happen? It's always so weird, because of how the kids are spaced (18 months, almost on the dot). It feels like MiniPlu has only just stopped being an age, and then Two IS that age.

Anyway, he's having a ( slumber party tonight )

Hey, remember this post? With all the media attention recently on the Duggars and how they're not allowed to even so much as kiss, much less give regular hugs before marriage, plus some other comments I've seen recently about women who are proud to say they "saved themselves" for marriage, it just made me wonder: WHY do we put so much attention ( Read more... )

I have some international (European) family members and non-LJ friends to whom I would like to send a small gift to this Christmas. I would like it to be something "American," as they have in the past sent me/my kids things that represent their own countries - food, little trinkets, etc. But I'm drawing a complete blank as to what would be an ( Read more... )

I'm starting to feel overwhelmed by passwords and log-in info for too many different things. Do any of you use any particular means to keep track of that stuff without risking it being found by the wrong people?

I finished reading Moon Over Soho (Rivers of London) yesterday. ( Thoughts Under Here )

A happy birthday to

Why does ice cream taste so much better when you pay for someone to scoop it for you/build the sundae for you, rather than doing it (much more cheaply) for yourself at home? It kills me that a trip to the ice cream store/parlor costs as much as (or more than) an entire multi-serving carton of ice cream at the grocery store. Even if I were to ( Read more... )

I need some new games for my Android phone. I'm looking for things that can be played in short chunks of time, either because levels are short or because it will remember where you were playing when you pause and come back. I don't tend to play adventure-type games (like Temple Run). I'm ashamed to say I suck at the physics involved for Cut the ( Read more... )

I realize, when I go strolling around the mall, that I have certain weaknesses, particular items that I'm going to longingly look through, even if I have no use of more. Stereotypically, women are supposed to have a Thing for shoes. For me, it's:

* sweaters/cardigans, particularly those with cabled texture, marled/heathered yarns, etc
* as a ( Read more... )
