I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

they haven't found a company to make the dolls yet....

Didn't god already make them and call them cats/dogs/insert-pet-you-don't-grok-here?

Another great photomanip contest from Worth1000.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I am at the sitting around with dye on my head stage..
Reminds me that while I am no longer a redhead, my bathtub is also no longer white. I can't recall if scrubbing bubbles beat semi-perm. It's the domestic rock, paper, scissors.

Sadly, they haven't found a company to make the dolls yet...
Nooooooooooooooooo!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I think I remember using scrubbing bubbles back when I had a white tub and it working.

I need to repink the back of my head, because I didn't heat process last time and it's already salmony. Damn.

Also, if you find someone to clean for $100, send them our way.

Lori's excavating the Winter room and I'm in the Summer Room pottering around. Dogs are wigging out. Turkey is soon for the oven.

Maybe when we finish, we'll go to REI so Lori can look at bikes.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ugh. I don't want to think about how much cleaning I need to do this week.

I just covered most of the bathroom in them. In a few minutes, we'll know for sure.

It's much more disturbing to me than usual because it usually looks like I killed Barney and now it just looks dirty. Perhaps I should rethink this new color thing.

Also, if you find someone to clean for $100, send them our way.
Actually I was handed a flyer in the Trader Joe's parking lot a few weeks ago from a woman that has tons of experience, references and everything. I talked with her for a few minutes. And then promptly put the flyer in my purse where it hid for a while.

I just refound the flyer with her number and left a message. Studio $40, 1 Bed $50, 2 Bed $60 and 3 Bed $70. But this place needs a seriously deep cleaning so I would happily pay her double ($120) for the first clean.

If she's got a clone in LA, you're set.

Oxyclean always gets the kink out of my hippie bathtubs, but then again, I only use Level 2. So, maybe?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

the scrubbing bubbles seem to be makeing a difference on my old, chipped enameled tub.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yay for scrubbing bubbles!

-t, stroke Walter's tuft of long hair over his eye for me, would you? He's a great dog. I'm so glad you and your DH have found a place that's *yours* to live!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Tuft of long hair duly stroked. Rotten dog lept out the front door and down the street this aftenoon, so he's REALLY pleased with himself.

My tub is sparkling now. As is the rest of my bathroom. Except for the places where Battle Clariol Natural Instinct's Nutmeg versus the Bubbles of Scrub came down in favor of the semi-perm.

Oxyclean always gets the kink out of my hippie bathtubs, but then again, I only use Level 2. So, maybe?
This will be the next effort. Though with the rest of the bathroom clean, it is reading more as "stain" and less as "yucky dirt." So it will be after I get a little farther in the cleaning process.

When I moved into this house six years ago, my parent's gave me a card that says, "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." It's a quote from William Morris.

My problem is that if I have something I don't like, I tend to feel too guilty to just toss it. This is extreme in the whole beauty and primping and general hygiene area. I have shampoos, lotions, bath gels that have been opened and rejected. Often without being used but some that I halfheartedly kept trying to like.

Can I donate them anywhere? Like to a battered women's shelter so that I can both do something nice and also clear out some of this guilty clutter? I have no idea how to go about this.

I have got to get rid of it, but I really really prefer to not just throw out perfectly good products.
