I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Just discovered my salon is donating clippings to Matter of Trust as well. My salon does a lot of charity work and fundraisers, so I shouldn't be surprised.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I wish the weather would make up its mind and stop ping-ponging between 80s and 60s. (Of course, it'll probably decide on 90+ degrees and humid.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What are they going to do with the crude-oil-soaked immensely heavy mats of hair?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I wish that, when I make a mistake, people don't say, "Why did you do that?" As if "I made a mistake" isn't acceptable, as if there was some intentionality behind the stupid thing I just did.

If they are training you, it can be an effective way to find out your understanding of what happened, so they can fill in any gaps you might have instead of just saying "you did a wrong thing." If they aren't training you, on the other hand, they are just annoying douchenozzles.

Because books.

Maybe net them and burn them? Not that I have any idea.

I think I would be too anxious to have a cleaning service. I could imagine spending a good few hours cleaning up before they arrived, which seems to defeat the point.

Moi aussi.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would really like a cleaning person -- I don't do it enough, but have no problem with straightening. It's the Actual Cleaning I hate.

Well it was the straightening that was good for us. Plus we'd like a cleanish start with Grace coming. It's really beautiful.

I just wish I had someone to do my laundry and to sweep up the cat hair. I don't mind mopping, and I actually enjoy dusting quite a bit. (It's the lemon oil, I think...)

I need a root, and my diamond shoes squeeze.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I would love for my house to be clean, but I don't want anyone touching my stuff, especially the stuff that needs cleaning. It's just embarrassing, having dirty laundry and dust bunnies - people who are not me shouldn't really know about that. I'm trying to get over it. More by being okay with people coming over when the house is a mess than by having cleaning people, but it's the same issue at root.
