It’s important to be nice. Nice people have better karma.

I had high hopes for Lifetime’s adaptation of “Flowers,” because any adaptation is better than the horrible, godawful 1987 version.

Minnesotans tend to live a really, really long time (I had relatives live into the early 100s!) so begin your anti-aging now!

“The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.”

Because as a woman, they don’t just go after your subject matter; they go after you, the person.

I inherited the pink from a girlfriend. We all need a pink-haired friend in our circle. She was ready to let it go and I was the one who needed it the most.

Writer’s block can feel very lonely when you’ve got writing in your blood. It’s as if your best friend, your imaginary pal, has deserted you.

Uh, no. I think red roses are tacky as hell. I’d work out a sponsorship with Bud Light Lime. If I want you to stay, you get a bottle!

This means you are an adult. This also means you don’t have the eyesore of an overflowing laundry basket in the corner of your room.

No boy who’s ever been on the receiving end of a bikini photo has ever made a comment.

The cold brings us together. It makes couples out of strangers.

DELTA IS NOT GIVING YOU A FREE FLIGHT BECAUSE YOU POST A PICTURE. THAT IS NOT HOW LIFE WORKS.

It’s too cold. The cold has seeped into my veins and my heart and my brain. I can’t do it anymore. I’m exhausted. I’m frozen. I’m stymied. I’m holding myself back. I stay inside because I can’t bear the windchill biting at my fingers.

Am I a bad feminist because I’d rather read Cosmo than Bitch or Bust?

The New Year will not be perfect, but we’ll have each other.

Doesn’t your mom ever say, “Dress for the job you want?”

I read somewhere that Kim Kardashian does 100 squats a day, so I should try that.

Rural life has always been a trope of country music; many country musicians come from small towns and sing about the people and places that shaped them. But where Blake Shelton and company get it wrong, some country stars get it right.
