Re: Grey's Anatomy Derek Shepherd Dead : People.com

Maybe it's just because I was in the room when both of my parents were taken off of life support, but did anyone else think it was odd that Meredith just signed the papers without calling Amelia, or Addison, or Christina, or any of Derek's other sisters for that matter. It seemed cold to me that now she's just going to what, start calling people to tell them yeah, I unplugged Derek?

Re: Salad daze: From leafy greens to meatloaf chunks

I survived horrible college cafeteria food by making what I now call my "college caf" salad - lettuce, cheese, water packed flaked tuna, garbanzo beans, croutons, and ranch dressing. Mix well together with fork so the tuna gets creamy from the ranch and tastes like tangy tuna salad. Yum!

The way you pose, I want you to get a maxi skirt with a long slit up the side and do the "Angelina Jolie's Right Leg" pose! :)

Re: Going public with depression

Elizabeth @ Table for Five — Tue, 12 Aug 2014 16:01:58 -0000

Depression lies. It whispers in your ear that people are only pretending to like you, that no one will ever love you, that nothing you do will ever matter. I'd been hearing those whispers for years when, during my Sophomore year of high school (1983), I was at a party and very very drunk, went into the bathroom, picked up a disposable razor that was on the sink, and began running it up and down the inside of my left wrist. By the time a friend checked on me I was bleeding. They called my parents to come get me. All my parents said to me was "go to bed, we'll talk in the morning." The next morning I went downstairs and my Mom was at the kitchen table, I sat down, and she said "it was pretty dumb, what you did last night, don't you think?" And it was never spoken of again. It wasn't until I was in my mid-20s that I finally got a doctor to start me on antidepressants. It took years to find the right one. Getting away from home helped greatly, as did my boyfriend/now husband who showed me I was worth loving. But I still have fleeting thoughts when life gets really hard, that maybe poking myself with something sharp would make me feel better. I can only assume that Robin Williams had those whispers in his ear too, and I'm heartbroken for his family and friends.

Re: The Banana Bread That Would NOT Die! - This Full House

I can't believe you pulled it out of the oven and then stirred in the eggs and it still worked! I have such a love/hate relationship with bananas. I want to let them get brown enough for bread, but my husband then considers them 'rotten' and throws them out. Yours looks SO good!

Your poor little sweetheart, to be so sick and have a sprained wrist :( When my 7 yo daughter is sick, I go full Florence Nightingale. I don't even want to leave her side! Hope she's feeling better now.

She's adorable!! The clothes do fit, as long as those shorts didn't just fall right down! My boys were 9 & 7 when Kaitlyn was born, and they were amazing with her and still are. It's sweet to see a teen boy get down on the floor to play with his adoring sister :)

It's because you are the bearer of the evil broom! Those birds are just scared you'll hurt the babies, but geez, that's some targeted divebombing there!

Re: What Is Adam Levine’s Perfect First Date!?

Elizabeth @ Table for Five — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 19:10:28 -0000

Seriously? All the money he has, he has to worry about dinner being "cost-effective"? And he thinks a woman who spent hours getting ready in a cocktail dress will think McDonald's is romantic? Considering how many women he's dated, I guess some women do.

Re: The Power of Breakfast

Elizabeth @ Table for Five — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 13:46:14 -0000

I'd like to post the infographic on Table for Five. My daughter's school serves free breakfast to every student every morning thanks to Kellogg's. Don't you wish they had done that back then for you, so there was NO stigma? If you need to check with your PR rep before sharing the link, they can email me directly if they want at table4five at gmail dot com. Thanks!

I'm so glad Crystal Light has these! I'll have to look for the Peach Bellini, and if I may make a suggestion, make a Raspberry Ice one please!

We don't have Duane Reade here, I'll have to look to see where else Prime Time Smile is sold. I like that it's a pen applicator, I'm not a fan of strips. Thanks for the info!

Re: Biscoff Spread? Challenge Accepted.

Elizabeth @ Table for Five — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:14:30 -0000

You have to wonder who at the Biscoff company was looking at cookie crumbs one day and said hey, wonder if we could emulsify this and make it a spread? lol So it tastes like the cookies you get on the plane, only somehow creamy. Yum!

Dude. He just contains to up his awesome quotient every time he opens his mouth. I know what song he could improve - that awful Rihanna song Shine One Like A Diamond. I'd much rather hear him say that phrase over and over again any day.

Re: Baa Baa Black Sheep: A Semi-Jealous Look at The Mommy Blogger ‘In Crowd’

Elizabeth @ Table for Five — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:30:43 -0000

I'm curious as to what your intention was with this article. Did you want to complain about the "big" bloggers like Heather from Dooce because she tweeted a complaint to Maytag and her followers helped her get it resolved? Are you sorry that you became a Mommyblogger because you've realized you don't want to be part of a huge community of women who for the most part support each other in their online efforts?

No one ever said that starting a blog that focuses mainly on parenting (a/k/a a "mommyblog") means you have to lose your soul. I can cite you plenty of examples of bloggers who intersperse their posts about catching puke in their bare hands and the work/life balance with self-introspection, political discourse, thoughts about being a Mom in this century, and lots more. To lump us all together in one generalized statement is just unfair.

Making a connection with even a handful of other people can make someone who spends their day alone in the house with babies or toddlers feel not so alone. It may seem sycophantic to post mainly "Love this!" and "so cute!" comments, but with the sheer volume of blogs, websites, social networking sites, and news sites like this one, it's hard to have time to leave long comments on everything.

I hope you will spend more time reading blogs like Amalah, Moosh in Indy, Adventures in Babywearing, Finslippy. Not every Mom blogs just for the "free stuff". And best of luck to you with your blog. If you ever need a retweet or a share on Facebook, I'm happy to help. Because supporting other women who blog is the best benefit I get out of being a mommyblogger.

Re: Girl's Gone Child: Bo & Revi, A Year of Words and Photos

Elizabeth @ Table for Five — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 10:51:06 -0000

WOW, what a recap! What you wrote about not being able to remember life before the girls, I know exactly what you mean. When Kaitlyn was born, the way my boys who were 7 and 9 took to her, it was like she was the baby THEY needed to have. Archer and Fable are obviously smitten, as well they should be. Happy Birthday Bo and Revi!
