4. Meg Ryan. I don’t like “cute.” I try to avoid “cute” with all I can muster, and unfortunately, damn near everything I do with myself ends up getting labeled “cute” instead of something more adult.

5. Thanks to my nephew I have had this stuck in my head for two whole days, and have refashioned it to sing to the cats and torture my poor boyfriend. Thankfully, E loves it.

  1. Oh, this isn’t fluff. Finances are a serious damn issue!

    Congratulations on the interview. I’m sure I won’t be the only one crossing my fingers for you.

  4. All the best for your interview – and I suspect you’re going to be stuck with cute all your life, so maybe time to relax to it?

  7. Believe in yourself. Go in confident. You got through school raising a kid all alone; nothing you face at that job will be more difficult than what you’ve already handled.

  11. Good luck. I told my neice when she was waiting to hear about a job that generally things work out the way they should. I was trying to make her feel better in case she didn’t get it, but I really think it’s true. (She got the job, and is working in Chicago now!)

  13. Oh goodness, how did that go? “May the random forces of the universe align in your favor”? I swear, my mind’s already going south.

    Well, may the random forces of the universe align in your favor, Lauren.
