jimmy fallon lindsay lohanOkay, guys, I don't want to jinx anything here, but I think ... I think ... Lindsay Lohan just might be getting her mojo back. For realz this time! The formerly troubled starlet (yeah, that's right, I said "formerly"! Cause let's try some positive thinking for a change!) made an appearance on Jimmy Fallon last night as a guest on the Wayne's World-esque tween girl talk show "Ew!" and guess what? She was really, really funny. Really! I mean, remember last year when she hosted SNL and it was supposed to be a big "comeback" type thing and it was more of a "come again?!" kind of thing? Well, all of that weirdly nervous, unfocused, I'm all messed up and I don't know why/feeling kinda freaky and that's no lie energy was gone last night, and in its place was vintage LiLo. 

Hmm, could this be a good omen for our favorite morgue janitor?

HELL to the YES, I say!! Let's think about this for a minute: See, Lindsay Lohan used to be an actress, remember?? Before she became a pro car crasher/Ambien taker/jewelry thief, girlfriend was an actress -- and a good one at that. (I hate to drag out ye ol' Mean Girls reference, but how awesome was she back then??) So now that she's back to kicking ass as a performer, she'll start remembering how great that feels (a better high than any drug ... right?? No, seriously!) and want to keep kicking ass again and again. And she must know by now that too much gypsy-punching does not a successful acting career make. 

Check out this clip if you haven't seen, and you'll see what I'm talking about:

Was I right or was I right? LiLo is BACK, bitches!

Do you think Lindsay Lohan's Jimmy Fallon appearance was a good omen?

'Bridesmaids' Star Rose Byrne Rocks Blond Makeover Bound to Be the Next Big Thing (PHOTO)

rose byrne emmys 2013Actress Rose Byrne -- who you may recognize from Bridesmaids as Helen Harris and Get Him to the Greek as Jackie Q -- has always looked picture perfect with her medium brown mane, but it turns out she can also rock blonde locks and look just as good. No, wait, even better! Not a feat just any brunette can accomplish, amirite?! Especially as we're going into the colder months, when we're all encouraged to take our hair color even deeper, richer, darker -- not blonde.

But like Khloe Kardashian with her ombre highlights, Rose has proven the perfect blonde can be pulled off anytime of the year! She debuted the makeover whilst appearing at the Emmys with nominated boyfriend, Boardwalk Empire star Bobby Cannavale.

The reason it seems to work -- and be beyond covetable? It's not in-your-face blonde. It's more of a honey-toned, soft, and warm blonde. I feel like there's a real difference between going lighter but staying warm and golden vs. lighter and cooler. Clearly, the warmth of this hue works with Rose's skintone. It's obviously far from natural, but it could be!

It's like 180 degrees from some recent attempts by brunettes to go blonde -- cough, Kim Kardashian, whose blonde is just too jarring and doesn't suit her skintone. That said, if anyone or anything is going to convince you to go for sunny highlights even as we're swiftly approaching Halloween, it's Rose and her bombshell new 'do -- all the way!

How do you feel about Rose Byrne's hair makeover? Would you try something like it?

Dina Lohan's Alleged DUI Could Be Just the Thing to Keep LiLo on the Straight and Narrow

dina lohan mugshotIt's a good thing the Lohans are a photogenic family, because their mugshot gallery just keeps getting bigger! And nope, we're not talking about now (hopefully) sober LiLo -- this time, it's 50-year-old Dina Lohan who's in trouble with the law, getting arrested last night for drunk driving in Long Island, New York.

Mama Lohan was allegedly driving 77 mph in a 55 mph zone when cops pulled her over at around 11 p.m. on Thursday night, with a blood alcohol level registering at .20 (over twice the legal limit of .08). Dina was booked on two counts of driving while intoxicated and one count of speeding, then released to an unidentified "sober third party," but is due in court later this month. Yikes!

Now, I have to tell you that, initially, I was extremely tempted to go on a "guess the Lohan doesn't fall far from the tree" type rant about this unfortunate event. 

You know, "of course Lindsay is a mess with a mom like that, yada yada yada, this is probably going to screw up her newfound sobriety big time, blah blah." But then I realized something -- it could be that the exact opposite is true. Think about it: Back when Lindsay was crashing Porsches and mopping up morgues and slapping gypsies, her mom's behavior probably seemed completely fine. Better than fine, even -- what's better than a mom who's also a drinking buddy?? (Obviously lots of things, but you get my point.) Now that Lindsay is cleaning up her act, she's probably seeing things a lot more clearly -- seeing things for what they truly are. Meaning, she's probably realizing that she doesn't want to end up like her mom, still posing for drunken mugshots at 50 years old. And that's the kind of realization that could keep LiLo on the straight and narrow for a long, long time.

Do you think Dina Lohan's DUI could be a good thing for Lindsay?

Jimmy Fallon's 'Breaking Bad' Parody Is Funniest Thing You'll See All Week (VIDEO)

jimmy fallon breaking bad spoofWith only six more months left of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon until he takes over for Leno and just three episodes left of Breaking Bad until that turns into a spinoff called Better Call Saul (um, no thanks), it makes total sense the two amazingnesses combined. And that they did in a parody no one could have done as well as Jimmy Fallon. That's Jimmy by the way in this photo. Not Walter White. Jimmy!

There are some great cameos in this spoof called Joking Bad. And it brings back some of our favorite moments from Breaking Bad. Check it out, but prepare yourself for unexpected cameos and some serious laughs ... and seeing Gus laugh his ass off. Literally!

"Let's joke, bitch!"

Did you catch the whiteboard behind Steve Higgins (Jesse) and Jimmy (Walt) with the equation: Anthony Weiner + One Direction = One Erection? Joking bad!! Higgins and Fallon capture their meth makers to perfection. Like Blue. Heisenberg-approved. Ad Miles makes a great Hank. A skinny Hank, but a great Hank.

I always get confused when I see Bryan Cranston with a full head of hair and loved seeing him pop up in the audience of Fallon's show, along with Jesse. I mean, Aaron Paul. I mean, MY GOSH HE'S SO CUTE! Don't die, Jesse. Please don't die. Aaron gives Fallon a "boooo bitch!" and Cranston throws a pizza at him. Perfect! Just like seeing Jay Leno at the end.

I'm thrilled Jimmy's taking over for Leno. Not thrilled Breaking Bad is almost over ... forever. I'll take a Jesse spin-off instead please.

What was your favorite moment from Joking Bad?

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Bel Air Mansion May Be the Thing That Breaks Them

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Mary Fischer 4 hours ago

Kim Kardashian mansionGood grief. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West visited their new Bel Air mansion yesterday to see how the renovations are coming along -- and that place still isn't close to being done!

A photo was snapped of them standing in the driveway. While it's kind of hard to make out the expression on their faces, they sort of look annoyed to me -- and who can blame them?

They bought the place back in January, and eight months later, they're still shacking up with mama Kris over at the Jenner mansion. And if moving in with her wasn't already less than ideal enough -- you know things have been even more cramped and hectic since baby North West entered the picture. (Can't a girl get her own crib?)

Considering how many months have gone by, it's hard not to wonder what exactly they're doing to this pad. I mean, it's not like it was in shambles when they purchased it, so what the heck is taking so long?

Could it be that they really are installing surveillance cameras all over the place in addition to outfitting the bathrooms with gold-plated toilets? Maybe that's part of what's holding things up?

Whatever the case, Kanye and Kim have to be going out of their minds right about now. At this point, it probably would've taken less time to just build a house from scratch rather than trying to turn this place into their dream home. And since they already shelled out $11 million for it, you gotta wonder just how many more hundreds of thousands or even millions they're pumping into the renovations, bumping up the total price even higher.

Yes, I know they have more than enough cash between them for that sort of thing. Still, they probably could've saved time and money had they either bought a home that fit their needs, or had one custom built.

For their sake, let's hope they at least get to finally move into the place by the end of the year. If they don't, 2014 may not start on a very bright note. The longer they stay with Kim's mom, the better the chance of their living situation driving a wedge between them. And then they'll have to sell the place before ever setting foot in it, which would really suck.

Why do you think these renovations are taking so long?

Elizabeth Berkley Shares the 1 Thing Guaranteed to Help Her Win ‘DWTS’

elizabeth berkleyIt's almost time for Dancing With the Stars to begin and we can't wait! We've already got our top picks for which members of the starry firmament are sure to ace this competition. Right now, Elizabeth Berkley's at the top of our list of famous competitors.

Elizabeth recently opened up about her experience training with partner Val Chmerkovskiy. What she shared in her interview about working with him is surprising and might give her the edge when it comes to facing off against her famous cast-members.

Coming at 5'10", Elizabeth is taller than a lot of the men she frequently finds herself working with in Hollywood. She has a few inches on Val, but he says that doesn't matter in the slightest. How refreshing! Are you listening, Tom Cruise? Val's all about Elizabeth embracing her height.

Val is very much just wanting me to stand in all my woman-ness, I so appreciate that. Some men don’t want a woman to kind of stand in that. It’s really a new kind of thing for me!

Val's encouragement and support of Elizabeth have definitely helped the pair begin to develop a partnership that's supportive and trusting. This sort of dynamic is sure to help them when it comes time to dance for the judges.

Do you think Elizabeth is going to win the competition?

Mom Dangles Baby Over Balcony but That's Not Even the Dumbest Thing She Did That Day

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Kiri Blakeley 16 hours ago

A defiant mother who dangled her baby over a balcony by one arm and then posted the photo to her Instagram account to "make a point" has been arrested. Aisha Jean Clark, 25, from Florida, reportedly posted the alarming photo to prove that she can "do what [she] wants" with her baby and that "nobody can stop [her]." But alas for her. The police can and did stop her. So much for that theory.

The mom reportedly danged the 5-month-old baby boy over a railing two stories high, and someone below took a photo. She then posted the photo to her Instagram account. Friends who saw it called police.

Police say when they showed up at the woman's door and asked if she knew why they were there, she laughed and retrieved her iPad to show them the photo. Like these were her vacation photos or something?!

Officers promptly arrested her on a charge of child neglect. (Apparently you can only get away with baby dangling if you're Michael Jackson.)

Asked if she understood the danger she put her child in, the woman reportedly explained that she was "mad" and "making a point." Making a point to whom?! Her poor baby? Some idiots online? What? The only point she made here was that she's willing to put her child in danger for a stupid photo.

This didn't stop at least one neighbor from defending her, reportedly calling her a "good mother" and saying, "She [watches] my kids, so she's not a bad mother."

Wow. Someone might want to rethink their babysitter choice.

I don't know why people insist on broadcasting their stupidity and crimes online, but it sure is making law enforcement's job easier. Sometimes I wonder if people would do some of these things at all if there were nowhere to post them afterward.

Well, this mom got her photo. And she got to make her "point." But she lost her baby, who has been taken in by child services. Not exactly a good deal.

Why do you think people post these things online?

What's the First Thing Men Notice About Women? It May Not Be What You Think

eyesQuick! What's the first thing you think men notice about you? If you said boobs (like I would have), you would be wrong. According to a survey from Murine eye drops of over 1,000 men, the first thing men notice when meeting a woman is ... her eyes?!

OK, so that is a LITTLE suspicious coming from an eye drop company. But the reality is, it's probably not that far off. Men probably do look at our faces first. And, in fact, there is an order to how they take us in.

According to men I know, they DO look at our faces first, but that doesn't really mean much given they can completely take us ALL in in about 10 seconds. According to the survey, which ought to be taken with a grain of salt, here are the eight things men notice about women in descending order:

Alex McCord’s 'RHOM' Recap: The WORST Thing 1 Housewife Can Do to Another

rhomWhat’s the worst crime in Real Housewives land? It's either stealing money or stealing the spotlight. As one who has teetered on those uneven stilettos for years, I can tell you that while swiping money might land you an indictment, on reality TV, stealing someone's thunder carries the death penalty. Let me break down the biggest offenders on this week's Real Housewives of Miami.

We see bridezilla number one, Joanna Krupa, struggling over her fiancé’s desire for a prenuptial agreement, which begs the question, are they so wrong? Should Romain stipulate that Joanna’s sister Marta can’t come near the wedding?

Bridezilla number two, Adriana de Moura, sticks to her story that she’s not really married -- damn the legalities!! Does that mean we can all deny we’re married if we have fights with our husbands? In any case, throwing a wedding makes for great reality television.

Finally, this week we blow the roof off cast member storylines. Every season, the ladies of each city compete for the biggest, best, most dramatic personal lives. But I'm here to tell you that what we see on the screen doesn’t dovetail with actual reality. Watch my exclusive video here for all the details and answers to your Twitter questions!

Who do you think brings the most drama on RHOM?

Kanye West May Be Taking 'Protective Dad Thing' Too Far if Reports of Armored Cars for Baby Are True

armored car

Sigh. First there were the reports about Kanye West outfitting his new Bel Air mansion with surveillance cameras. And then he supposedly hired body doubles to impersonate himself, Kim Kardashian, and baby North West to deter stalkers and such when they're out and about. And now Kanye is rumored to have purchased armored cars to protect his "royal" offspring on the road.

No, I'm not kidding, people -- but I kind of wish I were. Yep, according to the Daily Star, Kanye picked up a Prombron Iron Diamond at the cost of $1 million, and a $400,000 Chevrolet Kodiak that's called "Limo One," a la the President.

And wait until you see the $1 million ride. Check out this video for a sneak peek.

Are you believing this thing? We can't know for sure whether or not Kanye really did shell out all that dough for one of these things, but if he did? He's officially earned the title of the most paranoid new dad who ever walked the face of the earth.

I know he and Kim are in pretty high demand and all -- but does he really think there are crazy people on the side of the road waiting for his car every day in the hopes of hijacking and/or kidnapping his family? If that's truly the case, then he honestly a) believes he's a member of the First family, b) thinks he's Prince William, or c) needs a mental health evaluation stat.

I don't know -- I'm thinking the armored cars sound a bit far-fetched even for Kanye. Maybe the rumor mill is just having a little fun with him and poking fun at how protective he is of baby North, especially since he and Kim have not introduced her to the world yet. But if people are really making up stories about him, you have to admit, that's kinda mean -- but sort of funny at the same time. (I'm awful, I know.)

Huh. This one is definitely a tough call. I guess we'll just have to wait and see whether or not the paparazzi snap shots of one of these things cruising around L.A. And if they do, we'll know who it belongs to -- which may defeat the whole purpose of having the car in the first place.

Do you think Kanye really bought armored cars?

Amanda Bynes Is Crying -- But That’s Actually a Good Thing

Amanda Bynes is still in a psychiatric facility following an incident where she was caught lighting a fire in a stranger's driveway. Since then we've heard varying accounts about how she's doing: Some reports say her medications are really helping; others say that is premature. Her mother was just granted temporary conservatorship and she is obviously not ready to leave the facility, so it's hard to tell exactly how she's doing. But one bit of information that just came out sounds like she's improving, even though it's not something that, on the surface, would sound like an improvement. Reportedly, Amanda has been crying.

While this might sound like one of those Duh moments, like of course she's crying, she's in a mental health facility -- apparently those suffering from schizophrenia are often cut off from their emotions to the point where they don't cry. So crying is actually good news!

TMZ reports that Amanda began crying because she was "scared" over an upcoming court hearing. And while it's heartbreaking to think that she is crying and scared -- this is actually good news and viewed as an improvement.

But TMZ also reports that Amanda still thinks there isn't anything wrong with her -- which strikes me as a bad sign. Doctors apparently say, however, that she is able to form "clear thoughts." An insider told Fox411's Pop Tarts:

There are no drug problems involved, it’s all mental. She has deep anger and PTSD, which tripped a psychotic episode ... She is very ill, but manageable. Amanda genuinely wants to get better and has wanted to get better for some time.

Apparently the PTSD, which we normally associate with the trauma of war, was partly triggered by the trauma of Hollywood life! She also is reportedly not close with her parents and has deep resentment toward them.

Whether Amanda has schizophrenia or PTSD, it's still good that she's been in the hospital long enough to be closely monitored. Too many people who are in dire mental condition are not. Whether or not Amanda has a close relationship with her parents, she still needs their help to a certain extent. Maybe all of this will bring them closer.

Do you think Amanda is getting better?

'50 Shades of Grey' Casting Confession Is the Last Thing We Want to Hear

e.l. jamesIf you're itching for Fifty Shades of Grey movie casting news, a few words of wisdom ... Don't ask E.L. James for it! The author of the steamy series, who we can only guess must be engrossed right now with pre-production details, was fielding tweets from fans yesterday, and of course the #1 question on their minds was if actors for the roles of Christian and Ana have been chosen yet ...

All Erika had to say to that was, "No not yet." And when pushed by Twitter user @ElizeidaSanmor, who wrote, "whyyyy? We can't with this ))):" Erika replied, "You just have to wait." Geeeze, woman!

If I didn't know better, this would make me wonder if she occasionally fancies herself more dom than sub! Well, at the very least, she sure loves being in complete charge of when and how we catch wind of casting ...

We can't exactly blame her for remaining tight-lipped. The studio needs to do what they need to do behind closed doors before we can hear the official news. Still, at this point, fatigue really is setting in for even the loyalist Fifty Shades fans. Plenty have said they're losing interest in the film altogether, because it's taken so long, and they've since turned their attention to other entertainment. That said, Universal and Focus must know they've gotta keep some info flowing. And if anyone were to keep fans hooked with tiny details or teases, it would be E.L. James, right? But no, we get terse, unrelenting non-responses. Definitely a turn-off.

What's more, it's pretty clear that if they don't get this thing cast ASAP, that "tentative" August 2014 release date is falling by the wayside. And we'll be even more burned out on waiting ... and returns for the flick may not be what the studio had hoped. So enough already with the big mysterious, drawn-out process. Time's a'wastin'! It's about time they got this show on the road!

What do you think about E.L. James' response to her fans? Are you getting impatient with casting news or do you feel like the producers are just taking their time to get it right?

Tamra Barney's Reluctance to Have a Baby With Her Husband Can Only Mean One Thing

tamra barneyNow that Real Housewife of OC Tamra Barney has married her prince, Eddie Judge, it's time to spit out a new baby, right? Not so fast! Tamra is giving Eddie a year to decide if he wants her to have his baby. "If he really, really thinks he needs a baby" in the next year, Tamra says, she'll think about it. But he can't take forever to decide. "I'm not going to be 70 years old and going to [drop the kids off] at preschool. I'm not doing it."

Yeah, it's a good thing Tamra is giving Eddie a time limit since the baby factory can't stay open forever. But it's also a good thing they're not exactly rushing into making another baby, either. I'm not so sure it's a great idea for these two to reproduce together.

Tamra already has three kids from her previous marriage, there's the dog, plus Eddie is five years younger than she is (and I guess that makes him feel like a fourth kid?), and there's the family business. And then Tamra goes on to describe how not fun she is during pregnancy. Hemorrhoids are mentioned ... "I don't need to go through the nine months," Eddie says. So surrogacy? Adoption? They're on the table, but probably not seriously.

Watch the video and it kind of sounds like Tamra is saying "NO" to having another baby without actually saying the word. But any new couple in their position would be wise to think a while before adding a whole new human being to their family. They still have to adjust and get used to each other as a blended family. They have to make sure the marriage is stable enough to last.

Oh yeah, about that marriage. We're not even convinced this is the real deal for these two, or if Tamra's wedding was just a phony baloney publicity stunt. I mean, why are these two even having this conversation at all? (Because someone asked them.) It's kind of ridiculous.

How long do you think new couples in blended families should wait before trying to add to their family?

‘Facebook Cheating’ Is Just as Painful as the Real Thing -- But Should It Be?

AppId is over the quota

cheatingNo doubt, infidelity has been on the rise since social media has sunk its claws into the otherwise somewhat content world. We now pretty much have access to anyone, any time we want. And let's not forget, things are so much easier to say -- whether they're filled with hate or filled with lust -- when you're sitting behind a computer and don't have to face an actual human being. But should "Facebook cheating," i.e., exchanging sexy messages, etc., online -- and online only -- be just as upsetting as the real thing?

Turns out, most people think so.

A new study shows that couples who discover online acts of infidelity are just as upset as if they realized their partner was cheating in real life. Research conducted by Texas Tech University concluded that, although the stages of coping with online cheating are different, the infidelity itself creates a similar emotional experience for the person who was cheated on. Jaclyn Cravens, one of the lead authors of the study, said: "This is very important because there is a line of thought that if the infidelity was discovered online, or confined to online activity, then it shouldn't be as painful."

I can't imagine what it would be like to discover something as awful as this. It would, without question, be incredibly painful and feel like a punch to the gut. But I can't help but wonder if the relationships in which the cheating was solely restricted to the Internet are more salvageable than the ones where actual, physical contact is made.

By no means am I diminishing "Facebook cheating." Like I said, I'm sure it's absolutely devastating. But the truth is, online, people are completely different people. Clearly, one's "online persona" is a part of them (that may or may not lie dormant) if they have the ability to act a certain way -- but is it the "real" them? And isn't the web, for some, just a really bad way to deal with real life problems they have? For instance, trolls probably aren't as big of assholes in real life, but they're probably not very nice or happy people. Am I making any sense?

I guess this is just another interesting and sad layer that's been added to society, compliments of social media. I certainly don't condone or would want to be on the receiving end of "online infidelity," but maybe the sum is bigger than its parts? Maybe the problem is social media? Maybe people should ... get the hell offline for a while.

Would you be as upset if you found out your partner was "Facebook cheating"?

pregnant napHey pregnant ladies -- now you have one more reason to try and get a good night's sleep. Poor sleep can disrupt your baby's immune system. It can also lead to lower birth rate and other complications. "Our results highlight the importance of identifying sleep problems in early pregnancy ... since sleep is a modifiable behavior," says lead researcher Michelle Okun. So now you know. Get plenty of sleep, future mamas. Okay? Okay. End of post.

"Oh but wait," sleep-deprived women everywhere cry out, "what if we have INSOMNIA?!?" It's helpful to know that your baby's immune system is linked with your sleep, but there's a million other reasons why pregnant women would want to get a good night's sleep already. Not many people actually deprive themselves of sleep on purpose, you know? So if you know it's good for you, but you still can't seem to get enough sleep, what can you do?

1. Work with your doctor. This should probably be your first step, before trying any home remedies. There may be significant health issues or symptoms that are causing your sleeplessness (besides pregnancy, which is not a medical condition, I know). And your doctor will know about any complications you should be aware of.

2. Set the stage. Before you go to bed, dim the lights and try to limit your screen time. Reading a book or magazine before bed will better help your mind to relax; watching TV or going online can stimulate your mind too much right before bed. Make sure your bedroom is cool. Don't bring anything work-related into your bedroom if you can help it, and definitely not into bed with you.

3. Get some exercise. There are many reasons to exercise during pregnancy -- one of them is that it will help you sleep better. Exercise in moderation and check with your doctor about any modifications you should make. Even walking and yoga will help.

4. Rescue Remedy. Herbal sleeping aids are generally not recommended for pregnant women. But some doctors are all right with taking Rescue Remedy just to quiet your mind before bed. You'll want to check with your own doctor, first.

5. Take a nap. As a pregnant woman, you are officially entitled to a nap when you need it.

Do you have trouble sleeping while pregnant?

Women Reveal the One Thing About Marriage That Has Surprised Them the Most

wedding ceremony eden roc miami beach pogo photoThese days, you'd think there's very little -- if nothing at all -- about marriage that we don't see coming from miiiiles away. After all, most of us live with our partners for years before we have a ring on it. What could possibly catch us off-guard? In some regards, nothing changes. But the truth is that no matter how long you've lived with your partner before saying "I do," there are aspects of officially being a Mr. and Mrs. that can take you by surprise

Here, what women who've been married anywhere from a couple of months to over a decade wish they'd known about marriage before they tied the knot ... 

Suddenly, some people think your marital status gives them free rein to bring up babies! One woman admits she had no idea that after getitng married "people would suddenly think it was okay to talk about the goings-on inside my uterus!" Another reports, "Everyone I meet asks when we're having babies. Even a jeweler showed me some necklaces that would make for a nice push present someday -- his words, not mine!"Sex may be even BETTER once you're married. Let's kill that persistent myth that married sex is snooze-worthy -- or nonexistent! One woman admits, "I was surprised that the sex is actually just as good if not better than before marriage!New expectations come into play. What you were accountable for as a girlfriend may not be what your husband and/or his family think you should be doing as a wife. Could be based on a culture clash or just different family dynamics. Communication about money becomes more crucial than ever. It's one thing to be paying bills together as a couple who lives together, but once you're married, there's a whole new layer of accountability -- filing joint taxes and knowing your credit directly affects the other person, etc.Even if you do combine assets, it's important to have your own bank account. One woman admits she learned that this was important "for personal spending without feeling guilty."You may be surprised how housework ends up getting divided. Even if you lived together before you got married, division of chores can change over time. For some couples, equal division of tasks works best. But that's not true for every couple. As one woman put it, "I think it should be divided however works best for you and your husband. It turns out that I really enjoy cooking every day and find cleaning stress-relieving."You may not want to change your last name ... professionally, right away, or ever. Even if you thought you knew what you wanted to do before you got married, faced with the actual reality of doing away with an identity you've known for however many years as a grown adult can be challenging, and it's normal to feel torn about it. It's also okay to take your time making up your mind about it.You end up feeling supported in a way you didn't before. Says one woman who lived with her husband for years before getting married, "I never knew about the ense of support you feel. It's different after you're married. I knew my husband always had my back before, but once we tied the knot, it seemed to be stronger."You can pretty much kiss autonomous decision-making goodbye. As one woman confesses, "I didn't realize that I would never be able to make an autonomous decision for the rest of my life. Meaning, I have to factor this partner into every decisive thought. It's a nervous negotiation for independent women. When I say this I'm not trying to strip myself of any power or suggest subservience, but rather highlight the notion that once you enter into partnership you lock it in. My actions have direct consequence on my life, and my life is my family, so there it is."You're not going to love -- or even be okay -- with everything about your spouse. Some of those annoying quirks you started to notice six months to a year into the relationship can get more intolerable. But hopefully, the good outweighs the bad.

What about marriage have you been most surprised by?

The Thing I Regret Most About My Past -- Before I Was a Mom

Penulis : Unknown on woensdag 17 juli 2013 | 04:35

It's not the destination but the journeyI skipped two grades as a child, and so for most of my life, I was always much younger than everyone else. So I always felt like I had to prove myself. And play "catch-up" to all the older kids.

Sadly, by forcing myself to charge ahead, I missed a lot in the process. And quite often, I wish I had just taken my time and enjoyed life before it passed me by in a blur.

I'm not quite sure why I rushed through everything, from starting college early to finishing college early, taking a full load of classes straight through every summer.

Then I started my internship a few weeks after I graduated, found a job before I was done, and then worked up through leaving for graduate school, which I finished quickly as well.

On one hand, I feel so fortunate to have been afforded so many opportunities as a young person, which led to much professional success.

But on the other, I look back now and wish I had taken my time a bit more. And had more fun.

Okay, A LOT more fun.

I certainly had my fair share of good times, in between classes and working and studying and doing all those things I was doing to try to finish everything early.

There were no spring break trips, however. No long summers spent traipsing through Europe, or working at the local pool as a lifeguard (the cushy, coveted job of my youth).

No "remember that one time, at band camp ..." stories to tell.

And now that summers are just like any other season, I long for the days when I could have partied a little harder, enjoyed myself a little more, and well, lived a little.

I can't rewind my life and add in moments of spontaneity or even a bit of reckless abandon, as much as I'd like to have those memories interspersed with the ones where my head is stuck in a book or taking a test.

But I can live that way now, even in the confines of my life as a working mom to four children. I could live in the past or take the lessons I've learned and apply them to my life as it is.

And I can encourage my children, within reason, to enjoy their lives. To slow down and take in their surroundings. To appreciate the journey along with the destination -- safely and wisely, of course. Here's hoping I don't eat my words later on when my children, all under 9, are teenagers.

Yes, I may be nearing 40, but there's still lots of fun to be had. Perhaps not as spontaneous or as reckless as I imagine I could have been long ago, but fun nonetheless.

Do you regret missing out on anything from your past?
