I have a magic eraser still in it's box in the bathroom. You people are making me want to clean. You truly are evil.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Herding cats for fun
Fabulous house news from Deena! Let's give her a few days to settle in and then visit en masse, bearing sophisticated adult beverages, fuzzy blankets, good books and a lot of glitter. It'll be fun!
House is clean and the laundry will be soon, but I must go out and buy a new ink cartridge or there will be no printing today and my project will languish. Since it's ridiculously cold by California standards, this seems like a most unsavory thing to do. I'd rather curl up in the sunny spot with Mishka and a good book.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
The Magic Eraser will make you want to get stuff dirty just so that you can clean it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
SA - medievalism and feminism - Have you read - or ever heard of - Medieval Prostitution? I learned so much from that book, about the whole medieval culture, not only the place of women in it. For a interesting look at the development of the iconic Mary, try The Mary Myth, by Andrew Greeley. You have to get past his defensive first chapter, though. If you're actually interested in that past the assigned reading, which you may not be.
I am hyphen-happy today. - - - And over-caffeinated.
eta Steph, yes, that's exactly what I'm doing, except I last left the house Saturday morning.

What is even happening?
The professor assigned the article because, well, she hated it too and wanted to share. *g*Okay, I kinda love that philosophy. It's like linking everyone to the world's ugliest dog (may it rest in peace).

I'm not getting any less cranky. Maybe food will help. If not, maybe a nap.
Why, oh why did my sewing machine have to pick today to fuck up?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
How frustrating, vw! Nothing worse than being stuck inside when you don't want to be, and not being able to enjoy the time by sewing just makes it that much worse. How is the health doing--is the imprisonment staying home recuperating helping any?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I totally want a magic eraser now. Do they make them big enough to just wipe the whole house?

I think so. I mean, I still need my nebulizers, so it's not perfect, but it is better. Hopefully I'll be able to rejoin the world tomorrow.

move out and draw fire
Congrats Deena! May you and your family have many many many happy years there.
I too had a Sunshine Family.
I bought a Magic Eraser on a whim, and the DH has become seriously addicted, wandering around the house looking for things to clean.
In related news, today was Spring Cleaning day. Several loads of dishes, laundry, much stuff earmarked for disposal. Windows thrown open to let in the birdsong and spring breezes. I also managed to make a bunch of baby food (chicken "kiev" with broccoli, pancetta with spinach, carrot and lentil stew) and we walked to Don Corleone's Creperie for lunch.
Exhausted, but happy.
