Looking good, sarameg!

msbelle, I'm just impressed at your mad skills.

I am unpacked, there's a load in the washer, my suits are soaking, and I've filled my pill case. If I can just figure out what to have for lunch tomorrow, I'll be good.

Yes please, Zenkitty! Thank you.

Scrappy, it really did. It was completely revolting. At times, a strip would start and self peel the rest of the way down the post.

Ick, Cash. This is why my mother says money doesn't buy class. Also, I just mocked someone who called POTUS a "douchebag." I liked it, too. It may not have been the serious policy critique I wished I could dish out when I thought I'd grow up to be Chris Hayes, but obviously he wasn't looking to replicate the Lincoln-Douglas debates, although I understand "Douchebag" featured pretty heavily in the run-up to the Missouri Compromise.

Happy birthday Dillo & Abby! Belated thank you to Nilly for the early birthday wishes.

Kale chips?

I can't believe it is time for msbelle to move!!!

I think I would like peeling the paint, because I freakishly love peeling sunburn. It has been years since I or anyone I know well enough to peel has had sunburn, but I really love it!

My BFF's husband took a picture of me, which he turned into a line drawing on his iPhone, and it looked IDENTICAL to my mother to me. Of course, I am the same age now as my mother was when I was 8, so this is how I tend to think of her. My friend Maria (who has now met my mom) said she found our resemblance uncanny, and it is funny, especially since I don't know my father, how much I resemble my mom, as if there was no one else involved in my genes. I see little differences-- my nose turns up a bit where hers doesn't, she has a bit mor of a chin, but I have better teeth (mostly thanks to orthodontia), but it is funny. My mom was much cuter as a little girl (she looked a lot like Anne Frank), but I think I look better as an adult due to my teeth.

I like peeling stuff too, but this makes SUCH a mess. That metal trashcan in the pictures? 2/3 full of paint. If I tried to lift the bag out, it might break.

I think I missed a lot of birthdays- so Happy Birthday to sarameg, Dillo, Abby, and everyone else I forgot.

And a hivemind question-- the song Jackson (Johnny and June)-- she says 'I'm going to snowball Jackson...". The only meaning of snowball that I know is the Urban Dictionary type meaning. What the heck does she mean?
