Marathon Mom Chases Down Bike Thief:

One thief in Seattle chose the wrong mom to try to steal from. Sarah Tatterson, 37, of West Seattle, Wash., is an accomplished runner, who has completed a dozen half-marathons in her lifetime. So earlier this month when she noticed a stranger walking up her…

Best comment of them all: Nothing more scary to a man than a woman running after him yelling, “We need to talk about your feelings!”

givemeajobplease:

This was a man, dressed as a plant, making pigeon noises at people walking by. I said hello, asked if it was okay to take his picture, and then asked why he was dressed as a plant. He said, “I’m just working through some stuff. Thank you for asking. No ones asked yet.”

“I’m just working through some stuff.”

That’s awesome.

This is a good idea.

While listening to a song of Robin Thicke’s from about 11 years ago
Husband: Oh, I get it. Robin Thicke was JT before JT was JT.

Daddy issues

Fitting that the miss USA pageant airs on Father’s Day considering the amount of daddy issues that resulted in the miss USA pageant.

Empathy

Had a very irrational emotional reaction to the line of cars turning into a cemetery we passed today. So many cars a human traffic cop was necessary.

I said, how sad that there are so many people who have to visit a cometary to see their dads on Father’s Day.

My husband said, it’s not sad. It’s happy. These people were loved so much that they have people visiting them here today.

I said, well, that makes me feel terrible. I haven’t gone and visited my fathers grave ever.

(My father was cremated.)

How to Talk to Little Girls:

I went to a dinner party at a friend’s home last weekend, and met her five-year-old daughter for the first time. Little Maya was all curly brown hair, doe-like dark eyes, and adorable in her shiny pink nightgown. I wanted

Well, you all know my thoughts on this whole business. But I gotta say after my marathon of watching this show, I have to admit, I really was pleasantly surprised to see this ding dong’s commitment to his family.

Conversation with a "Friend"

Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:56:15 -0400

M: “So she’s like my age-ish, right?”
F: “No, she’s 30.”
M: “I said ‘ish’!”

This made me laugh.
