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.

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

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.

It depends, Nilly. I live on the border between two states, so I am applying for jobs in both states, so...anywhere between August 7th and about August 18th.

It's funny about pink. I wore a pink dress in my senior picture for high school, and then I absolutely, adamently refused pink until I was about 32, even though it's a great color for me. I think I was too cool for pink, at least in my own head. Now, I have tons of it.

I also wore a lot of peach in the 80's --remember how popular it was? I have it on in my sophomore and junior yearbook pictures. I haven't worn peach since 1988. It has two much yellow in it for me, and I wore it only because it was a popular color. How things changed. I was also blonde in high school, and I have been a redhead since my freshmen year of college, so I think that makes a difference.

But I think if I went back to blonde today, I STILL wouldn't wear peach. Horrible associations.

Our neighbors recently took down their American flag that was reduced to scraps, which is nice. They put up a brand new confederate battle flag in its place. They still aren't doing anything about their free roaming dog.

I wear pink all the time, and I also think it is not my best color.

I had a peach outfit in 1988 that I LOVED-- it was a peach mock neck tshirt with shoulder pads and a (really lovely) long peach skirt with pleats in the back (near the kick pleat area. I also think I had peach shoes to match. I thought it was the height of fashion. I now HATE peach. As it, I actually discarded almost all of the peach costumes we had in stock!

See? I'm just saying there's a market.
