Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously!!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, nice hint "I only went to one party, St. Patrick's Day and I left early"
I really, really love the idea that Stella could be Your Mother, but I can't see how the writers can make it work with everything else they've already laid out--especially the two kids listening to the story. There's no way the girl is nine years older than the boy (which she'd have to be, if Stella's daughter is presently 8), there's been no mention of an older sister in any of the framing device bits, and the handful of kid art pictures we've seen (going to the zoo with Aunt Robin, etc.) have shown only two kids. Plus, Stella wasn't the random woman Ted bumped into and apologized to at the party, and if that woman wasn't YM, why did they bother throwing that little exchange in at all?
The more I think about it, the more I love the idea of Stella as YM, but the more I doubt the writers have enough handwavium, flabotonum and asspullium to make it all work.
Sad now.

Of course, maybe there's no daughter...

yes. So, it could have been a red herring (the woman who bumped into Ted at the bar was brunette). OTOH, the daughter may be grown up now. The kids look to be in their early teens, and if Stella's daughter was 8 when they met, she'd be 9 or 10 when they married, and out of the house by the time he's telling this story.
I don't know, it's just fun to speculate. Now we're looking for clues!

I love hte idea of her being the Mom. But! She was out with her girlfriends right? So maybe one of her friends is the Mom. Although I love the actress she was so great.
Britney wasn't terrible. Not great but heck I've seen worse acting by regulars in sitcoms. Maybe this will get her some positive press and give her an esteem boost. I read one article online that said she did okay.

Yeah, Britney wasn't horrible. But, she really didn't have a lot to do. She was good in that last bit, though.

She didn't have a lot to do and you could see her acting but really it wasn't any worse than, say, some of the acting in the last Highlander movie or some of the things I've seen.

That's sort of like saying "She wasn't as bad as some of the zombie extras in a Uwe Boll movie," isn't it?

She was better than that! I saw one episode of that Caveman show and she would have looked fine on that.... faint praise but she was better than I thought she would be.
