ION, twice today someone has told me I look "dowdy" and pale. My choice to wear a comanpy windbreaker is evidentally is a bad choice because it makes me look really dowdy.

The hell? Someone wants to tell me I look dowdy, they better be my mother or sister. And that still won't stop them getting smacked, most days.

I think the correct response to someone telling you you look "dowdy" is telling they look like month old roadkill.

I drop my laundry off. It's blissful.

messy room + bag + 70 cents a pound = clean apartment

Or, alternatively, you could say: "'Dowdy' is a term of great sensuality and lubriciousness among my people. Are you coming on to me?"

I do all our laundry - I wouldn't trust joe to do mine. I also don't use dryer sheets on the baby laundry. I'm glad to hear that is, apparently, the right thing to do.

Huh. Well, I just stuck Emily and my laundry in the washer. Let's just hope I have enough energy to *finish* it.

Isn't she banging to get out?

This tall, nearly bony girl in my team meeting today said the only Halloween costumes she could find were plus size ones (I can only think she's defining plus size as "not meant for children"), and everyone knows the plus sizes are all dowdy and ugly. I sneered at the back of her head. She likes to shop at Hot Topic and thinks that makes her cool, except for the fact that I shop at Hot Topic occasionally too and her definition of cool can't stretch to include 44-year-old women who wear plus sizes.

Eeeek, I hope you didn't wash Emily in hot water.

Isn't she banging to get out?

I don't know. I left her at the place and came back home. I'll see her again after the spinning is done.
