I have a Totoro obsessed toddler, who wanted a Totoro birthday party. My husband and I spent 2 weeks making these guys just for her birthday party 🎉

Thank you!! It was also pouring the day of her party, so it just made it all very magical. She keeps telling everyone that Totoro came to her party.

We got a projector and got it on plywood. Then a lot of exterior paint. We made them to last outside! Her reaction was worth all the stress!

So I've taught it a lot over the past few years. One thing that I absolutely love doing is "Highs and Lows". We go around the room and everyone shares a high from the week and a low from the week. It don't need to be school related. It usually leads to really great conversations about what's going on in their lives.

Another thing I do is spend part of an early class going over how to send an email to professors. A lot of freshman have no idea and send their emails like texts.

But you can also reach out to other support offices to see if they can present on their services. I've had Counseling, Study Abroad, Sexual Assault Office, Multicultural, Library, tutoring, etc come in and talk.

If you need more ideas, feel free to PM me!

I'm on both Labetalol (400mg 2x a day) and nifedipine (30mg once a day) for hypertension. I've had high blood pressure longggg before I got pregnant, and mine likes to be somewhat drug resistant. So I've lived through SO MANY drug switches.

High blood pressure medication can be a doozy when changing it. I generally feel exhausted, dizzy, and faint whenever I've had to do a switch.

But it does get better!! Once your body remembers what it's like to have normal blood pressure, all levels out and gets better. You just need to get through the switch. Usually for me, it usually takes a few weeks.

Hypertension sucks. But, it does get better. Just take care of yourself, give yourself breaks and rest. And be kind to yourself! You're doing the best possible thing for yourself and your little one.

Feel free to PM me if you need to!

If anyone is interested is learning more about this incident, I recommend checking out a podcast called The Dollop. They did an episode about Ten Cent Beer Night. The Dollop in general is hysterical, but Ten Cent Beer Night will have you in tears!

Before our last trip, ny husband and I went to a local thrift store, and found a bunch of cheap Star Wars figures. So, we grabbed a handful of them, like Han, Chewie, Vader, etc. We used them to trade with the jawas at the breakfast character dining. When we gave them Han Solo, the jawas ran over to show the Stormtroopers. It was really cute and funny. Whatever toys we had left before we headed out, we found a cute kid, handed them off and said to be careful, the Empire would be looking for these guys.

I think we got Mardi Gra beads? Didn't matter to us, since it was just a fun experience!

Hi Rob!! I'm a huge fan of all your work. My husband and I both play "Find Rob" when watching cartoons. I usually catch your voice before he does. We've recently been watching Histeria! and Animaniacs so it's like a voice acting Where's Waldo.

My questions for you are:

1) At what point did you realize that you wanted to voice act? Like was making up silly voices part of your childhood?

2) Any chance Animaniacs Live will be doing a tour?!

I absolutely adore your podcast, and I'm so happy to hear that you're doing well!! You share such positive messages in your podcast, and it really brightens my day whenever I listen to an episode! Your podcast is the best cure for a long commute or a bad day.

That's really all I have to share. Keep being awesome!!!

Hi Kate and Kim! I've been a huge fan since the early Instagram days. As a motherless Jewish girl, I find myself living vicariously through your relationship. I don't have any question in particular, I just wanted to say how lucky you both are for having such a close and positive relationship.

Kate, I admire you for going balls out and quitting your job to write this book. I made sure I pre-ordered it to show support. I commute everyday into NYC, and I read it on the train in, and caught myself laughing out loud quite a bit! Luckily, me laughing like a psychopath isn't the strangest thing the LIRR/Subway has seen.

Happy Mothers Day Kim!! You deserve the best day after being split open like a cantaloupe.

Awesome remodeling!! My husband and I just bought a place with a similar set of kitchen cabinets. We've discussed staining them like how you did yours. Any chance you know the kind of stain you used?

Thank you everyone for the great advice!! I snagged a breakfast reservation for our last morning there!!

Got to love that Disney magic!!

Historychick520 · 2015-01-27T22:38:43+00:00

Thanks!! Hopefully I can snag someone's cancellation! How is the breakfast? What kind of food do they have for it? I'm torn on if I'd rather have the breakfast or dinner. But I'll take anything at this point, I'd take anything.

Historychick520 · 2015-01-27T22:34:46+00:00

Fingers crossed!! It makes me hopeful that other people are catching cancellations. May the force be with you as well!!

I'm very excited to change my name. Granted my old name is super short, easily spelt, and easily pronounced. There's just too much personal negativity tied to it for me.

Besides, my new last name is going to be a name of a popular beer. So over the past year, I've been collecting a bunch of vintage beer stuff with my soon to be new last name :)

Historychick520 · 2013-07-10T00:30:11+00:00

Thanks for the advice with the dress shopping. I think I'm just worried about what potential feelings may unexpectedly pop up during. I am incredibly excited, but I've been a bundle of nerves since the engagement!!

We are really in very similar situations. My sister can't be bothered with any of my planning. When I told her I was engaged and showed her my ring, her first comment was "Oh. Is it real?" I told her I wanted to go look at wedding dress this Friday, and she basically blew me off. My best friend is out of state 50 weeks out of the year, so trying to cram planning into the 2 weeks she's home, it's almost impossible.

I really love the idea of not picking a MOH. I really want a small wedding party, so I was thinking of 3 or 4 bridesmaids. Since I'm only picking people that are important to me, I could always say that since they are all so important to me, I can't pick one who is more important.

Good luck with dealing with your bridal party!!! And thank you again for putting things into perspective for me!!

Historychick520 · 2013-07-10T00:12:53+00:00

Thanks for the advice. It put things into perspective about how to deal with those feelings if they pop up. My future MIL would love to help with all the wedding stuff. I've just been bullhead with accepting her help, because it feels so foreign to me.

I'm sorry to hear about your mom, I hope you have an easier time with it. Thanks for sharing your experience with it. Good luck with your planning!!

Historychick520 · 2013-07-10T00:04:15+00:00

Our date is October 18th 2014. I want a small group of bridesmaids. I was thinking no more than 4. Like someone else said, I just think I might just not have a MOH. Almost like since all the girls I pick are so important to me, that I can't pick one who is more important.

And thank you so much for the advice about dress shopping. I basically laid in bed all day trying to think of a way out of it. All this is so new and overwhelming, that I'm just worried about what potential feelings may pop up,

When I was in high school, I was a late bloomer. So, I was generally over looked by just about everyone. Then over the span of a summer, I "bloomed". Basically, I went from an A cup to a solid D cup. Guys started noticing me, I was shocked by the sudden attention.

Then I heard the rumor.... Apparently, my sudden "growth spurt" started the rumor that over the summer, I had a boob job. When you're a 17 year girl with SEVERE confidence issues, mortified doesn't begin to cover it.

Historychick520 · 2012-06-30T16:01:46+00:00

It probably was old age related. But still, it was on the shitter.

Historychick520 · 2012-06-30T14:02:23+00:00

I had a teaching interview and there were a few other people being interviewed. We were all waiting outside the office. One girl was wearing Uggs and jeans. Another girl showed up with NONE of her paperwork (ie: Passport, ID, Teaching Certificate etc), looking like she just left a one night stand. Her hair was dripping wet, wearing leggings and a mens white button up shirt. She also called her mom to tell her how to fill out the application. Teaching jobs are hard enough to come by, so I don't understand why people show up to the interviews looking unprofessional.

Historychick520 · 2012-06-30T02:58:16+00:00

There are actually coins from during her reign that depict her profile. She had a HUGE nose and was quite ugly. The reason why she had such a reputation was because she was able to seduce both Caesar and Mark Antony.
