“The Oxford English Dictionary notes some old Dutch words “botervlieg” and “boterschijte,” and conjectures that butterflies’ excrement may have been thought to resemble butter, hence giving the name “butter-shit,” then “butter-fly”.”

My brother and I don’t fight each other over the internet.  We work together to find out why the heck neither of us can connect to it.

• Me: I just wanna be one of the cute Christian stay-at-home moms who have five cute kids and spends her day making art and crafts in a cute workshop with a cute blog and writes cute books.
• Mom: Marry a rich man.

If you’re carrying any baggage right now, if you are keeping secrets that are making you sick, here is a gentle nudge to let go and open up.  As I’m finding out right now, doing so will make a world of difference.

I just saw a Doctor Who reference on an Annoying Orange episode about Sherlock Holmes.  What just happened?

Mom always told me never to date a boy who doesn’t have a dog.  You can’t trust men who don’t have dogs.

Shush now.  You all look lovely.
