Car troubles definitely ping me differently than any other kind of stress and it's difficult to explain... so I won't try, but all kinds of car ~ma to you, Cindy. I hope a great solution pops up relatively soon.

Great pics, sj!! The nephews are indeed adorable. How're you feeling this morning? You okay?

I'm fairly independent and enjoy doing most things for myself but if it's a big project (like moving) and I have people around that I know would be glad to help, I'll ask for help. I especially like it when peeps just offer and I don't have to ask at all.

I love getting into a bed that has newly clean sheets, but I prefer that the sheets be put on by the sheet fairy.

So very much this. I usually have to corral the cat into the spare room and put the dog outside before I can even attempt to make the bed from scratch. The cat likes to hide under the sheet as I'm tucking it in (flat or fitted) and the dog thinks he should lay on top of each new layer put on the bed. Very annoying. And kinda sorta cute. But still annoying.

Honestly? I feel like my heart is being ripped out. I'm going to get my hair done in a little while. Maybe that will help to relax me.

{{{sj}}} I'm at my desk,hon, so feel free to call me if you want.

Thanks. I have to get ready to leave now. I'll give you a call after my appointment.

Boggled by all y'all corset wearing people...most of the time I think I don't want people to look at me that much. But, crap, they do anyway. Wearing my shirts too big isn't going to make people think I walked in, I suppose.

I don't think I have the courage to corset up, erika. I don't have any place to wear one, anyhow. My life is too non-corsetty.

Right, so give them a better reason to stare. At least that is the attitude I am trying to adopt.

Well, yeah, I don't have a corset life...but I think my approach to clothes is often too cautious, pleather pants or not.

Ok. Bathroom is clean, new shower curtains are up, clean rugs are on the floor. Laundry is done, folded, but not put away (can't be perfect!). And dishes are done, with the sink bleached.

Now I need to shower and run off and get my toes done.

And it's not even noon yet!

Go, vw!! You've been very productive! Def. time for some toe-pampering.

I have a corset, but it's utlitarian rather than pretty. And, it's shot. I'll need a new one before I head off to another event.

I'm not sure about wearing one in Real Life. While I like being somewhat cleavagy, corsets make me Very Cleavagy and I'm not sure how comfortable I am with that.
