I thought I had a 60/40 split with my dental insurance for a procedure. It turns out that I am only allowed the procedure once every 2 years, and I was three months too soon. So I am stuck with a $1000 bill, which wipes out our savings.

It really hurts. Especially because it would have been covered so soon. But my children are happy and healthy, and my husband has a job, and we live in America. It will be ok...

15:07 pp - that would bug me too. You should contact the Post's "House Calls" and see what their designers suggest.

I have to get up a little earlier than I'd like tomorrow so I can fit in a workout before I lead a training session at work. I don't like getting up before 6:30 if I can help it.

Also, I made plans tonight with a friend and I think I just want to go home after my yoga class and chill out instead of having drinks with him. I'm hoping he'll be feeling similarly lame so I can cancel.

The previous owners of our house added a third bathroom just off the family room.

However, when putting in the bathroom they didn't take into account the placement of the fireplace.

Now we are stuck with an off-center fireplace in a weirdly L shaped room. To make matters worse, my husband mounted a giant TV off-center to the fireplace. AND we hardly ever use the bathroom since we have two others.

It is impossible to place furniture in that room to make it look balanced. I keep moving things around, adding/removing furniture, window treatments, etc. and it still looks bad. I think I am just going to have to break down and completely refurnish the room, or pay a designer to place my furniture.

That family room and extra bathroom are the bane of my existance!

irritated that my Gap 1969 jeans from last year year have developed a small hole in the thigh seam b/c the ones that i bought from this year have a rougher fabric to them. and it scatches my skin. on my legs. especially whne driving my charcoal grey lexus suv. while wearing my tory burch sunglasses that are a shade too big so that damn things fall off when i look down.

Flannel lined skinnies kind of defeat the purpose

Honestly, I would be happy with a bootcut pair if the waist was not halfway up to my bra band. I just want something warm yet not ridiculous looking to wear while I walk the dog.

Ouch. Sorry.

I agree. This is fairly serious. If you're our neighbors, I'm sorry I just was trying to get the signup genius out so fast I may have missed you or I have a bad email address for you. Please come and bring your awesome dip!

Is this in Bethesda?

I'm the left-out poster; not sure if you're asking PP or me if we're in Bethesda, but in case you're talking to me, no, we're in NoVa. It's ok- I'll just nurse my wounds for a little longer, and then move on

1) wondering if I should buy the new itouch when it comes out
2) will I watch x factor or the middle tonight (maybe I should just DVR them both
3) which mall should I go to on Saturday?

Debating if I should I upgrade to an iphone 5 is taking up so much of my time.
