The Worst Day of My Life
When I was 20 years old, I needed to figure out what the fuck I was doing with my life, or so my mother said. I was perfectly fine wasting away, with my shitbag boyfriend, Luke, wasting days to countless different types of uppers and some downers. I weighed a grand total of 95 pounds, soaking wet, and was barely eating. I would live my life around being fucking traumatized by being fucking raped that eating seemed like such a fucking trivial activity.

Judge Dismisses 'Modern Family' Star Sofia Vergara's Frozen Embryos Lawsuit
After over two years of litigation and a battle that began in May 2014, a Louisiana judge has dismissed the case between Modern Family actress, Sofia Vergara, and her ex-fiancé, Nick Loeb. The former couple have been battling over the fate of two female embryos created during in IVF procedure while they were still together. According to documents obtained by TMZ, the judge indicated that the Louisiana court had no jurisdiction over citizens not residents of the state (the judge referred to the embryos as "citizens of California"). If Loeb decides to continue the battle, he would need to file suit in California, where he and Vergara are currently residents.

Pig Hops and Pet Shops
Popcorning is the term given to when a young guinea pig does a little electrified hop with excitement and happiness. It's intense, adorable, and a great way to know you're doing a good job as pig parent. If your pig suddenly stops popping for his favourite things, you know something's very wrong.

How a Craigslist Puppy Changed My World
In the summer of 2016, one week away from my twenty-second birthday I was prematurely going through my mid-life crisis. On the outside looking in, everything was good. A newly purchased home, a career with opportunities for advancement. On my own, I thought I could conquer the world. But in truth anxiety was beginning to creep in and destroy my confidence. I was lonely, my only friend was about to move to Scotland. My family lived thousands of miles away, and my social life revolved around going to work. One day on lunch I began perusing the local Craigslist for the area where I lived. An ad for free puppies caught my attention. They were four months old, hound-mixes, needing good homes ASAP. I began evaluating my abilities to care for a dog. I lived alone in the middle of the country, with a large fenced in yard. My job was Monday through Friday and allowed me weekends and evenings at home. As an animal lover since childhood I immediately called the number without a second thought.

Newfound Excitement of a Tired Mom!
So, it was my 27th birthday yesterday, and to be honest I was feeling pretty bummed all day with the stresses that come with this crazy adult life. I was worrying about finances with the holidays coming up, I was worrying about my house not being clean enough, and most of all I found myself worrying about the fact that I wasn't excited to be celebrating another year on this earth.

Rainbow After the Storm
Miscarriage has always been kind of a taboo subject, yet one in four women go through miscarriage or loss of their infant. No one really talks about the pain, grief, guilt, or emptiness you feel, not to mention all the unanswered questions, like why did this happen? Was it my fault? There's the fact that you never got to hold your baby, to know what their life would be like, to even know whether your baby was boy or girl, the names you had picked out for them.
