That's great, megan! You can be in packing hell with me! (Though since you've moved at least once in the last 12 years, you'll probably be less whiney than I.)
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

In the last 12 years, I have moved 6 times, and that includes twice across the Atlantic and once across the country. I have this down to a science.

Yup, I'll be the whiney one who can't find shit.

But at least you live near the wonderous soap lady.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Happy birthday, Allyson!
I know I'm behind on updating provocateuse, but I actually seem to have an email in that inbox complaining that I never use that guy's pictures. Never mind his pictures are crap, but really. Boundaries, boyo.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy birthday Allyson!

Megan sends lovely Lush gifties. Bath fizzies are ALWAYS welcome in my house.

Oh, I love the Lush bath fizzies like pancakes. Just not the lavendar ones. I guess I tend to enjoy the food scents more...lemon, vanilla, cinnamon, etc.
Hm. Perhaps I should loudly praise the wonders of Lush in the presence of the lavendar givers. There's a plan.

Actress Emma Thompson’s black stomach-flattening Spanx came with the note that reads, “These are the knicker equivalent of Fort Knox”. Songwriter and poet John Hegley’s briefs feature a poem about ants and pants. The singer Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas sent in gold, metallic boy shorts. And writer Nick Hornby and his young son adorned a pair of boxers with stickers and a feather.
Undergarments apparently from actress Helen Mirren, actor Daniel Day-Lewis, and illustrator Aline Crumb are also on the block.
It's to raise money for a center for asylum seekers.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Awesome, megan.
It seems like spendy soap would be a good gift. You know, the kind of thing they wouldn't buy for themselves. But not if the reason they wouldn't buy it is they won't use it.
In my news about me, it is snowing! Really heavily snowing, with accumulation on the ground and the whole bit. Dave planted a new grapevine and within a half an hour it had dropped 15 degrees and was coming down like mad.
I'd seen the clouds, so I'd been scrambling around getting the rain barrels set back up after the wind (this time with concrete blocks in them) and it was freezing. Crazy since we'd just been checking out our little private lake and it was probably low fifties. But there's no doubt about the snow now.
