On Friday Estimate

@andnowlights So... this isn't your first rodeo? I think you should definitely let people know that. Just in case they try to pull a fast one.

On Pro: There's a Place to Hang Clothes. Con: Everything Else

@TheDilettantista Speaking from experience, I can say with authority that Jersey City, despite its many charms, is not free of CRAZY PSYCHO ROOMMATES.

On I Finally Internalized All Those Cheap Living in NYC Tips

@chic noir Oh, I did not get the connection between yoga and flexibility and pedicures! I thought you meant that you do yoga barefoot so your feet have to be prettier than for other kinds of exercise.

On Three Friends Make An Attempt to 'Live Below the Line'

@Deb of last year@twitter It is weird how subjective things like budgets can be. I totally understand where you are coming from, but my household food budget (for two people) is also $300, and it doesn't feel deprivation-y to me. Groceries must be cheaper in New Jersey. I think these kinds of challenges, while helpful for people who are already conscious to undertake and publicize (hi, Cory Booker!), would be so much better if they were somehow mandatory for people who don't seem to have any empathy for the poor.

On Can You Wear a Cocktail Dress to Work?

Ha! This whole post is amusing to me because my boss LOVES it when I dress up. I'm currently eight months pregnant, so most of my wardrobe at this point consists of maternity dresses given to me by a friend. Yesterday I went long and flowy, today I'm wearing a bump-displaying stretch minidress. I walked in and my boss said, "Ooh là là, que vous êtes belle aujourd'hui!" and told me she hated what I had on yesterday. My work environment is... unique.

On The Chelsea of New Orleans? (French Quarter) The Queens of LA? (Venice)

Hey! Logan, was that a gratuitous dig at Jersey City? We're very disappointed in you. (We = me and my beloved Jersey City.)
