What an incredible woman. Love her so much.
slut_talk 10th-Sep-2012 05:31 am (UTC)
She is perfect.
ahlisten 10th-Sep-2012 05:31 am (UTC)
so will just wasn't the lid to her pot.... okay... sure.... that's fine...



in all seriousness, amy is so lovely and the world would be so much better if everyone was as optimistic as her

Well, maybe he is. Maybe they'll be bffs the rest of their lives while they raise Archie and the enormous pumpkin boy together.

i teared up ughhhh
inboots 10th-Sep-2012 05:34 am (UTC)
she sounds rly warm and nice - but the lid for every pot thing is a lie
praiseheathus 10th-Sep-2012 06:24 am (UTC)
why though? There are enough people in the world that it strikes me as odd that someone would truly be #foreeveralone
inboots 10th-Sep-2012 06:49 am (UTC)
because people and relationships are more complicated than puzzle pieces.

a person with good interpersonal negotiation skills will find him or herself a lot of "lids" for his or her pot. and a person with really bad negotiation skills may be #foreveralone, even if they sit down for a meet&greet with ALL the other 6.9 billion people in the world.
samiringo 10th-Sep-2012 08:50 am (UTC)
does it have to be a romantic relationship though? you can find love through friendship and family, i think that counts too.
daddyissues 10th-Sep-2012 09:35 am (UTC)
ita

not everyone will find love
heartbreakingg 10th-Sep-2012 02:19 pm (UTC)
I do think there is a lid for every pot but when you find a lid you don't recognize, you don't realize it goes on the pot and you're like "why the fuck do I have this lid?" and then you throw it away and never look for it and just go around complaining that you can't find the lid for that pot.

Which is so frustrating because to make lipton's soup you have to cover the pot and without a lid you have to get pretty creative.

DEAR AMY, WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GO TO A PATHETIC FAN WHO IS REALLY UPSET ABOUT YOUR DIVORCE??

lol jkjk she's a grown-ass woman and i know she and will made the decision together and they must have been having other problems and that it wasn't the ~perfect comedy marriage made in heaven~ that it appeared to us, but STILL :C
marmar627 10th-Sep-2012 01:23 pm (UTC)
This comment is so my thought-process.

"There's a lid for every pot"

I'm totally going to use this phrase when I have kids/with my nieces and nephews
saintssin 10th-Sep-2012 02:02 pm (UTC)
I totally didn't see the / when I read your reply. I was so freaked out.
kipperbloomer 10th-Sep-2012 06:04 am (UTC)
This is one of the few celeb divorces where I'm wondering what went wrong. :\
mots_inutiles 10th-Sep-2012 06:17 am (UTC)
I forget what the blind item said :/
suburban_war 10th-Sep-2012 06:29 am (UTC)
If I remember correctly, it only really said that it was a mutual decision
zoaster_toaster 10th-Sep-2012 06:54 am (UTC)
It was apparently a mutual decision and amicable.
hoot 10th-Sep-2012 12:32 pm (UTC)
It made it sound like they just grew apart.
gohometerrorist 10th-Sep-2012 08:31 am (UTC)
I found this article: http://www.wetpaint.com/network/articles/new-details-emerge-on-amy-poehler-and-will-arnetts-split

Idk how legit it is, but I want to believe it cause I want them to stay friends. And I like to think there was no cheating or anything!
lovebats 10th-Sep-2012 12:46 pm (UTC)
sometimes smart people have some insight and do the right thing and split before there's a real problem or detriment to the kids.
eerilybeloved 10th-Sep-2012 05:39 am (UTC)
Aw, she seems sweet. And that's so true. It sucks when you become so focused on your negatives that you can't even see your positives.
katie_g_lynn 10th-Sep-2012 05:39 am (UTC)
I love her. Smart Girls and Ask Amy are fabulous. I like the bit about focusing on positives and not negatives. Also not comparing your body to other bodies. I have such a hard time with this.

I had a discussion with a co-worker the other day about my issues with body image. My weight is fine, but I have my bad days, and I had a kid 3 years ago so my body just isn't the same. I always worry about what I'm eating, and weigh myself almost every day. Blah.
anchors_oceans 10th-Sep-2012 05:46 am (UTC)
weigh yourself once a week and always on the same day. i used to have a massive problem with eating but i found that having a set weigh-day once a week helped me stress less. weighing yourself every day will drive you insane and put you down. :(
ludagurl3d 10th-Sep-2012 06:07 am (UTC)
stop weighing yourself and throw out your scale, and go by your clothes. stop worrying about what you eat and learn to relax around food. it's not your enemy.

i need to go to bed.
danne_gerous 10th-Sep-2012 02:08 pm (UTC)
I am reading this rn and it's amazing.
chocool 10th-Sep-2012 02:43 pm (UTC)
Re-learning the concept of intuitive eating has made me so much happier, honestly.
wasster 10th-Sep-2012 09:13 am (UTC)
I second the no weighing yourself every day(I used to do it). I found that I was always disappointed because I was having what I felt were thin days and then I was excited about weighing myself, only to find that I was heavier. It just bums you out.


Also, muscle weighs more than fat. So the muscle would have less mass than the fat would.
frenchverbs 10th-Sep-2012 12:47 pm (UTC)
I don't do scales. I lost a lot of weight and I used a scale maybe 3 times during that year-long period, and haven't touched it since. I prefer to focus less on numbers and more on the amazing things I can do now, like run 5 miles or my newfound flexibility from my pilates classes.
snoozeen 10th-Sep-2012 02:12 pm (UTC)
I'm with the "once a week" people. I used to not weigh myself and I felt like it was a way for me to not face what I felt about myself/my body.

Once a week, same day, and around the same time works for me.

soft_volume 10th-Sep-2012 05:46 am (UTC)
i always love her advice, i wish she was my therapist.
