I love my son's name - Leo. I have a friend with a little boy named Zephyr, which I also love. I second others' suggestions of Alastair and Angus. More: August, Auberon, Ezra, Hugo, Alden, Theron, Magnus, Rigel, Otto.

My kids are almost-3 and 6. We rarely get them anything beyond little stocking gifts. Our families give them so much stuff that it seems like overkill. As it is, our kids don't get to play with all the stuff they get right away - we hide most of it in a closet and hand it out over the course of the year. I am tempted this…

Obama.

I'm 5'3" and somewhere between 117-119 depending on the day. I wear a 2 at Express and a 6 at H&M. I would love to be back down to <115 and fitting in 0s again. I think I'm more muscular now than when I was last <115 (especially my legs), so I don't know if it will happen. I'm still nursing my 2.75 yo, so my body is…

Ok, then I change my vote to the hot little number you're wearing in your profile pic. It will look great in photos. I think either that one or the black one lets *you* shine, whereas the with the pink one, the focus would be more on the dress.

Black! It makes you look tan and tiny, and I love the shoes. It seems like a natural to have some bold accessories/jewelry paired with it. ETA - Also, you have great legs - why cover up all that hard work? ;)

Everybody has given such great advice already - go nursing mommas! I just wanted to add that a great way to do warm compresses is with a rice sock. Take an old tube sock or other long sock, fill it with rice, tie off the open end, and stick it in the microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. Voila! Hot compress that stays hot for…

A fish eyeball in a can of tuna and a chunk of what I'm assuming was intestine (resembled a circle of calamari) in a can of ravioli. Both incidents happened within weeks of each other. I was pregnant, having both weird cravings and a sensitive stomach, and I was not amused. :sick:

Oh yum! Now I know what to do with that roast in my freezer!

This is my absolute favorite. Even my 2 and 5 year old boys demolish it. I only use one T of oil and I double the lemon juice. I've been known to add extra veggies and top with feta too. I save myself some time by using my food processor to chop the parsley, since I'm already using it for the carrot shredding.…

I am so trying this at the end of the summer when I have boatloads of zucchini! Thanks!

I love scrambled eggs in fried rice or sushi rolls. One of my favorite comfort foods is a poached egg on top of a stir fry of udon noodles, a ton of veggies, some soy sauce, and chili paste or siracha. And deviled eggs - oh my. My kids even ask for those for breakfast. I eat what my two-year-old calls an eggie sandwich…

Our dachshund was Ernie - he died a year ago and I still miss him. Best dog ever. :brokenheart: I think a female pit needs a nice girly name like Trixie or Talullah. :smile:

ENFP - always have been! My husband is an ENFJ. A Champion and a Fieldmarshal - we make quite the pair. :laugh: Supposedly Bill and Hillary Clinton are an ENFP and an ENFJ too.

Dlpnrn2b - I bought the same suit this year! Love VS! I got another top from them too, so I can switch back and forth. Oh, and please ignore my hair turban (I'd just gotten out of the shower) and the fact that my kid's potty is photobombing my pic. I only took these to see what I looked like in the new suit. :wink:

I don't think I saw anyone mention these, but they always make me cry: Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright version is my favorite Blackbird - The Beatles First Day of My Life - Bright Eyes To Love Somebody - the Ray Lamontagne and Damien Rice version Your Song - Elton John

I have a first edition copy of East of Eden. I bought it at a rummage sale for a buck. I have a rock collection containing a rock from every place my husband or I have traveled (Except for London, because I forgot to pick one up. Guess that means I have to go back!)

Staying in love is a choice you make every day. Dan Savage says it very well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1tCAXVsClw&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I know a family with a little Julia - her brothers are Micah and Caleb, and her sister is Anna. Have you tried using nymbler.com? It's a baby naming tool that lets you input names you already like and it suggests others you might like. Behindthename.com is a good site for accurate baby name meanings, if that's important to…

I won't wear something I don't like, but barring that, I'd say that I try to dress so that men want me and women want to be me. :tongue:

1. Eggs 2. Tomatoes 3. Cheese 4. Whole grain English muffins 5. Coffee 6. Chocolate 7. Berries 8. Beans of all kinds 9. Bell peppers 10. Alcohol

If you're just looking for something utilitarian until you're ready to move to the next size, I'd try KingSize. It's a men's big and tall place, but they carry a wide range of sizes and I've had very good experiences shopping for my husband there. :smile:

I have a BA in English and a law degree. I would love to go back to school and get a Masters of Library Science. I would love to be a librarian. I'd highly recommend my husband's degrees, if you're looking for an engineering-type major. He has a BS and MS in industrial and operations engineering (and an MBA, but that isn't…

I just finished the Fifty Shades series. I agree with the previous poster's assessment - entertaining crap. ;). Well, hot, entertaining crap. The way it was billed, I thought it was going to get kinkier than it did, and I wish it had. :blushing: I have Wizard's First Rule and The Mists of Avalon up next, but I can decide…

QFT. My husband is well-trained, but I can always tell when his dad is visiting....

Ear hair, unibrow, and super-long hair down there all have to go, but I quite like hair everywhere else. I'm actually surprised to be in the minority!

I used these (along with some of those cups you stick to the inside of a dress to give you more shape) to wear a dress that plunged almost to my belly button, and they worked great! I'm a C/D cup. http://www.bringitup.com/comersus/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=35 Victoria's Secret (and other places) make low-back…

Good books are like a package of Oreos to me - I open it, I empty it within a day. :happy: But I won't waste my time on a book (or my calories on a food, for that matter) that I don't love. "Room" and "Pillars of the Earth" - I wanted to like them, but I just couldn't, so they sit in my book donation box.

Note to self: go to Target and get those shoes! Your calves look great! Personally, I'd go with gold, fine dangly earrings and some gold skinny bangles - simple and shiny. :)

I would recommend charting your basal body temperature to find out whether you are ovulating at all - if you're irregular, there's a good chance you aren't, or at least aren't ovulating when you think you might be. The book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" is a good place to learn about charting temps and other fertility…
