    I'd like an insult.

    You are a genuinely good person. I admire your commitment to your profession.  Oh shoot. An insult? You sacrifice too much!

    Thanks Elle!  

  • Oooh, I'd like to know what you think of me!  ;)

    Give it to me girl. Both positive and negative. I an take it. I've been drinking since 430.

     

    OMG, you are so much fun. If you lived closer I'd want to be drinking buddies. You have great energy. Insult? I guess I'll say you are very outspoken. But I like outspoken and am myself so I don't really consider that a negative attribute.  

    elle! I want to come to LA and meet miso too! And drink! Let set it up!

    I'll take some advice.  WWYD-

    Option A- live with my parents indefinitely, since I can't file for divorce until November and I'll at least be paying the mortgage until then, but probably past then as well

    Option B- get a part-time waitressing job and move out, most likely living with a roommate or two.

    I'll be 30 in June.  I've never lived on my own, with roommates or not.  I went right from my parents to living with xh.  I'm dying to get out on my own.  But, I feel slightly ridiculous waiting tables considering the money I make at my full-time job. 

    Option B. You need to be on your own, and waitressing is fun (for a while). Get a month-to-month lease and if you can't hack it, move back home. But you need to assert your independence! 

     

    Oh, wait, I'm not Elle. 

    I argee.

    I will give you a compliment: I think you are incredibly intelligent and wise on a lot of issues. You are also supercute. And I covet your house.

    If you want to give a superlative in return, I would not object.

    ETA - I would take an insult or a compliment too. I am not picky.

    Thank you!    I award you Best Judgment. Seriously, you seem like a very cool girl and someone I'd want to be friends with IRL.  

  • Let's see if I post enough to hit the radar.

    And how is your marathon training going? 

  • imageMrsSteSte:

    Surprise me.

    Also, I've lost 11 lbs, mostly thanks to you. Big Smile

    I admire your determination. You have a goal and are killing it.  

  • i'll take whatever you throw out there.

    also, i bought the flat iron you suggested. i've only used it once, but so far i LOVE it. it heats super fast and really did smooth my hair out as it straightened. so, thanks for the rec!

    Compliment meeeeeee!

    I *love* you. In a totally non-stalkery way. I respect so much your commitment to the girls you mentor, and your courage standing up to the board members even though you knew they'd punish you. You are a fighter and I like that.  plus a super good person. 

  • imageMrsSteSte:

    She probably gave great advice, but you lost it completely thanks to you!

    How much do you drink?

    I drink 1-2/week, normally 3-5 drinks in a night. So too much! 

  • imagehuber22:
    only good things. i'm too weak for the bad.

     You have kept your identity notwithstanding motherhood. I admire how you balance everything. I think you are also wonderfully self aware. I want you to be happier though!

    Option A. I am not anti-living with parents. Especially if you have a private bathroom and some privacy there.  Don't wait tables.

     I admire how you are so certain of yourself, and how you seem to stand up for things that you believe in.

  • I would like some sort of superlative if you are still giving.

    .

    Most Patient and Devoted. You really exemplify commitment to marriage. You have been endlessly supportive of your husband. I have faith you are going to grow and assert yourself more and I think you'll force your DH to evolve with you. 

     

    It seems like people (MLers) often think you should bail, but I agree with this that your strength, determination and loyalty will get you both to a better place.

    I could really use a compliment as I had a bad day today.

    I will also ask you a few questions:

    (1) What part of California do you live in? Do you love it or hate it?

    (2) High heels or flats?

    (3) Wine or Margaritas? 

    (4) What's your all time favorite television show? 

    You are the best new addition we have had in awhile. I love that you are so athletic and healthy.  And smart. 

    1. I live in LA, on the westside near the ocean.

    2. Heels except I hurt my knee earlier this year so I have been wearing more flats.

    3. Neither. Bad tequila experience in college and don't like wine. I am pro-Mojitos.  

    4. Sopranos.  

  • imageDR&RN04:
    surprise me!

    You are the best!  You seem super smart. I think you've done a great job balancing your career and your family. And you are so supportive of your DH. I really admire you.

    You are very  very smart. I am fascinated by your job. And your SN is very witty.

    Go for it. 

    I think you are an incredible ID. Your taste has been flawless and you give awesome decorating advice. I think you should start an internet based consulting service.  The thoughts you throw out on here are better than a lot of the stuff I've seen from other professional decorators in their portfolios.

    She did. I was beyond frustrated, and her advice tipped the scale (literally).

    You are hot.  And funny.

    You are wayyy cool. Another one I'd want to be IRL friends with. I am happy you've been around more recently.  

  • imagestpetegirl:
    I'll take whatever.

    You are a maniac! I don't know how you balance running that business, working out the way you do, and your kids. I know how stressful it is to balance a high pressure career with anything and am panicked at the idea of kids on top of it but you give me faith it can be done.  

  • imageJEHC:
    Oooh, I'd like to know what you think of me!  ;)

    You seem like a lot of fun and a very cool new mom. I admire how you are keeping it together. And you are hot.

    Any time! Well, not next weekend because I am OOT but really whenever. I'll send an email. You'll love miso.   

  • Am I too late? 

    Surprise me!
