Kat, I am too stupid it seems to vote for your books. Or my computer is too stupid or something. I can't get the site to accept my email address for some reason. But I am trying!

msbelle, I love my OPI Catch Me In Your Net. It's all shimmery blue/green. I wore it for half the summer.

Scrappy, that's awful.

Katy Perry's first hit was the faux lesbo "I Kissed a Girl." Then she released "Ur So Gay," which is doubly offensive due to the spelling and using "gay" as a pejorative term. [link] That one-two punch pretty much soured me on her. And she has proceeded to annoy me ever since.

Why doesn't spell check like armoire?

Anti-French sentiment, Hil?

Freedom chest should work then.

I turned on Hoarders, and then did a bunch of shredding, so that's good.

I was going to say 'freedom closet' but brenda beat me to it.

OK, I have paint brushes. Apply paint, paint stripper or sit here?

This morning Liv got up at 5. So I spent close to four hours going down the Ancestry.com rabbit hole. Looks like my all my people hail from England and Wales. I tracked most of them pre-Revolutionary War.

The problem with clean all the things is that I get to the point of pulling all the clutter out where I can see it and then lose momentum, so all I have is more things and less clean.

I vote sit there, even while being fairly sure that you are already doing something paint related.

I'm bastardizing the hell out of red beans and rice - using pink beans and Italian chicken sausage and no bell peppers. I think it will still be tasty.

I hear you, Ginger. Part of my major cleaning process is make everything much more chaotic before it gets better and I will often get stuck mid-chaos.
