But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Oh, and weekend plans are driving to Maine tomorrow for an annual family get-together (at one of my sisters this year) on Sunday. I have Monday off (wheeeeee!), which is when I'll be coming back (hopefully on the early side).

Baptist seminary launching homemaking program

t righteous fury

That tag's not gonna close.

ETA: It's this line that makes my brain 'splodey " It will offer a bachelor of arts in humanities degree with a 23-hour concentration in homemaking. The program is only open to women."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Holy crap, it's cold outside. It must have dropped ten degrees this afternoon. 25 degrees from yesterday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, it's apparently 58 degrees outside. Good thing I was wearing a nice cute summery outfit that I planned for when it was 95 out!

My big plan for the weekend is serious housecleaning. Not just straightening so it's not embarassing if anyone else came in. Cleaning floors, carpet, dealing with stacks of paper, etc. For reals.

Oh, and an awesome response on the Hax chat:

So I'm a 30-something single gal not sure what I want out of a guy. Sometimes I'm hoping to meet someone completely vapid who will leave me the minute a 23-year-old flashes her thong and other times I'm hoping to meet an intelligent man who still lives in his parents basement. Jeez, dude, get over yourself.

I really do think the whole thing is about the false dichotomy, which I agree some women do, too.

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

My big plan for the weekend is serious housecleaning.

That's my plan too, Jesse. I wonder if it will happen.

I'm also going to get Perkins the cat a lion shave so that I can mock him he is more comfortable, and doesn't try to whap me everytime I get near him with a brush.
