Hee--I saw that LOLcat last night and immediately thought of tommyrot!!

Allyson, love the idea of Sam the bat's bat adventures!! Want to see it in print asap.

My mom leaves heaps and heaps of laundry for me to fold (and iron), because she loves my folding (which is very flattering, in its way).

I'm not a big fan of folding, but I can get in an ironing zone. Set me up with an ironing board in front of a tv and a basket full of wrinkly clothes, and I'll have them done for you within an hour or two (depending on the amount of clothes). That's how I did my ironing in college (when I wore lots of cotton clothes that required ironing right out of the dryer)--I'd let them pile up and get them all done at once. I'd do my mom's all the time when I last lived at her place.

See, Kat, I was just about to say I think it's too pale and too yellow. I think it'll make ita look washed out. Which is too bad, cause it's super-pretty.

Thanks, Nilly.

Nobody has any colour palette answers for me? Yay? Nay?

It looks very pretty, but I don't know your season. The last time I followed a season link here I got all confused. I thought I was a winter....but it said I was an autumn. Won't autumn bring out the yellow in my medium skin?

Heh, I get the opposite from my daughter.

He has warned me if I do join, not to be offended if he doesn't friend me. In our town, I think I really would be the only parent on facebook. I probably don't want to see what the high schoolers are writing on the wall anyway. I totally should have had a girl.

I don't mind laundry too much. I hate having to tote everything down to the laundry room, but at least I can do 4 loads at one time.

Ironing, however, I try to avoid at all costs.

When I was a residence hall director for a freshman women's dorm, one of our first hall activities was a "how to do your laundry" seminar. We'd teach them how to sort laundry, load the machine, etc. This was necessary. One of residents set the washing machine on FIRE because she way overloaded it and the agitator got stuck causing too much friction on the belt and viola! Fire bad.

I am looking frantically for another teaching position before the school year starts (loong story).

Oh, good luck! When does your school year start?

Oh, and I'm definitely making sure to stay hydrated, thank you! I have a big 2-liters bottle next to my desk, which I get to fill a couple of times a day. I have my very own version of a drinking problem.

I think that's a hard color for a lot of people to wear, but it's an adorable dress. So. Not really helpful.

ita, keep in mind I wear pink all the time even though it's not my best color. Though reds are creeping back into my palette and they should because red is the only color I really rock.

I think I did very little laundry when I was at home, but I never had a problem with it when I left and had to take care of it on my own. It doesn't seem very complicated. Making meals has never been a problem, I do about 90% of the cooking at home these days.

Random Thought. I'm starting to think that Obama will get more votes in presidential election, but McCain will win. At least that's my gut feeling right now.

My niece friended me on Facebook. She said that I'm welcome to see her wall and various feeds, because she's smart enough to not post stuff she shouldn't be doing on Facebook anyway. My nephew hasn't friended me. Which is fine. He's in college, and I really don't want to see proof that he's perfected beer-fetching, neighbor-smiting robots. At least, not until he's gotten venture capital and can give me a heads up before the IPO.
